I’m pretty strict on hijacks in focused threads. We have a nice selection of kamala-harris threads, that I was riding herd on 4 of them for a while to keep them on topic. Same with the Ukraine Breaking News thread, more than half of us are using that thread as a major news aggregate for specifically updates on the war.
The How can Trump win thread is more of an open topic and I’ve mainly not moderated small off-topic things in it. Same for the Is Trump Confused.
I can see and support the DNC thread being held to the tighter standard. I wasn’t doing it, but it makes sense that thread should be about the DNC and not loads of other topic only related to it in so far that it was about Dems or Harris or people running against Harris.
Another good example of a thread the Moderators were in and took the light touch is The Woman Factor in the Clinton Loss, and Possible Harris Win.
So were not consistent as the focus of threads are not consistent.
