Maybe someone can enlighten me.

I think the OP’s point was that the “guidelines” have actually not been made clear at all.  There is no rule regarding posts touching on politics, even if we think there should be.  Someone made a tortuous effort to equate the OP’s post to spam, ad nauseum, but to me, it’s pretty clear that the rules are unclear.  People on special interest forums discuss unrelated topics all the time.  Sharing your feelings, which may be influenced by the political environment, or the recent loss of your favorite sports team, the weather, or a recent diagnosis of cancer, all seem relevant to me.  That’s what happens in a community.

Respectfully, I disagree.  The moderators have demonstrated that they can move quickly, if needed.  So why not post new rules?  The failure to do so simply allows the moderators to enforce unwritten, new rules inconsistently based upon their whims.  My own experience is that the moderators actually have their own political bias, and the absence of clarity allows them to “tilt the field.”  You can’t have your cake and eat it too, right?

lol! just checked to see when was the last time I had a post removed, It was 8/6/24, for the following:

”lmao! When was the last time you got laid?”

Now that’s some serious street cred my friends.
