Look, believe it or not, we don't really want to be super anal about this stuff. It's not like we just go through current events everyday looking to shitcan threads that don't fit the criteria. But we've asked, moved, and closed many threads many times of people posting either completely spammy irrelevant stuff, or personal 'call out threads' to other forum users, or posting articles that are 2 years old on purpose, or sometimes spam bumping threads that the top 50 most recent threads are all old news.
Can we just... like, not do that?
Current events is not your facebook wall. It's not your personal soapbox. It's for relatively current news related items. We want some semblance of organization here, and we don't want to have a bunch of low effort off topic war zone related stuff constantly spamming up a forum.
Again, this isn't something that needs to be micromanaged or anything. Just try to be a little more considerate? Maybe stop try to force your ego posting on everyone else? Like, we have off topic. It's a fun forum. I'm there all the time. Lets hang out. But please, give it a rest and let everyone here have a forum where they can go for current happenings, as that's pretty integral to a political site imo.
