The basic rules of GQ apply to all threads that are clearly marked as such. 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: > [@Vaccine refuser data thread](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/vaccine-refuser-data-thread/929542/1): > > **Please feel free to add any data you find (or personal experience, for that matter). BUT I don’t intend this thread to be a forum for debating personal views on vaccination/refusal.** -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. j --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/huh-mods-still-not-banning-say-two-yet-say-what/931699)._
