Posts that are off topic or in some way criticize the topic posted by the OP are samples of things that aren't helpful. It's another way of saying "off topic".
Obviously, if we deleted every off topic post it would be a lot of extra work. Posts that don't add value to the discussion, are talking more about the person posting than the topic, or intentionally derail a discussion (among other reasons) will be removed. We all enjoy a little humor, but, not at the expense of someone else.
One rule that is clearly stated and that we do enforce routinely is a prohibition against publicly discussing moderator actions, which this thread falls into. If you have a question or issue, contact us or report a post that concerns you. We do our best to communicate the reason for our actions.
Just know that our main goal is to keep discussions civil and interesting, within the site guidelines.
With that, thread closed.
