    It was cited in the ban that it was specifically because of this topic that is now the “only” topic of the news cycle. It was a politically motivated ban to control the conversation.

      No, there are other things happening in the world, I’m afraid. Any topic can be over-posted, just don’t do it, try to exercise some moderation.

      Or you be guilty of spamming. No matter the topic.

        Have you actually read the rules for this sub? They are just to the right. Give them a quick read and tell me where this “rule” exists. It doesn’t.

        It was acknowledged in the ban that it was a purely editorial/ political ban.

          It could fall under rule 4, reposts, since it literally is all the same topic of “Joe Biden too old, receives calls to step down”, which we totally already knew. Mind you, the media is spamming it too, but that doesn’t make it okay.

          That said, perhaps we need a new rule? No exceeding x number of posts on a topic every however long, perhaps. It’s not difficult to scroll the sub and see if a topic already has dozens of threads by other people on it or not.

            No I dont think we need a new rule. I think we need moderation that doesn’t confuse their role as moderators with being filters to ensure a specific political view gets through.
