Either I had forgotten this or I didn’t read the forum rules well enough - mea culpa - but as it goes, this is more or less what I did anyway. I called the thread Vaccine refuser data thread and I concluded the OP thus:
-thinking to myself at the time, good luck with that. I accept that there will be a certain amount of discussion, on and not-so-on topic.
However, here’s the thing - when it starts getting out of hand, how do you “enforce” these “rules”? If I tell a poster they’re drifting from the intent of the OP, that’s junior modding. If it gets reported to the mods - well, that seems to be what’s happened here. As I said up-thread, I declined to engage, ignored it and hoped it would go away.
Guidance on how the rule will be enforced would be useful here; it seems to me that I (fortuitously) did enough to qualify that thread under the GQ-like clause.
