Why can't we just close the thread about Joe Biden?

For instance, if someone were to write, 'is it even possible that IBM is this insane?'
Then you'd have to provide specific examples of individuals or groups who align with his direction in a particular instance.
The moderators just wipe everything out because, apparently, that’s "off-topic." You Americans really are something else in this regard.

So basically, you aren't allowed to say: look, this guy is just as crazy as Biden because this guy isn't Biden, and therefore it's off-topic.

I’m all for it. Honestly, we already have two separate threads dedicated just to IBM—one main one and then a side discussion over on the Ukraine subforum. It’s basically become a playground where bots and trolls go to dump all their frustrations. You see people with usernames who don't even participate in any other discussions; they just show up to the IBM thread to spout total nonsense and throw insults at everyone.

This whole thread feels like Jurassic Park. You've got the Rex wandering around, then all these different Putinosaurs and Zoranodactyls popping up, and even Judas makes an appearance now...

Moderator message on the topic:

I took a look at the recommended thread—specifically the last page—where everyone is obsessing over presidential powers, whether Biden will trigger new elections, what his voter base looks like, Reagan, Clinton, the old Yugoslav era...

Why is it that when we discuss Biden in the main thread, we aren't allowed to mention his stance on the war in Ukraine?

And why, if people are busy speculating about his weight, aren't they being redirected to the Health subforum?

Or if they're debating his sanity, shouldn't they be sent straight to Psychology?

Or is the reality that none of this is actually being deleted?

I’d love to answer some of those questions, but we generally don't explain why specific posts get pulled. As for the colored moderator warnings, it's pretty clear: we're just trying to keep the discussion from turning into a total mess.

Calling a post "purely Biden-esque" is essentially calling it nonsense, right? What kind of actual debate can even happen after a comment like that?

Whether it's about Joe Biden or anyone else, it's simple. Either write something grounded in facts and citations, or if you're just sharing an opinion, at least put in a tiny bit of effort.

And no, we aren't shutting down threads about Joe Biden. There's plenty to talk about there.

That's about it.
