Another discussion board I'm on has a rule that if others can deduce your political views from a comment, it's considered to be political and deleted. It's a more narrowly focused entertainment site (movies / TV / music / books), but on the whole, I appreciate strict moderation.
If there are folks here who often have posts deleted or are given other penalties, perhaps a good examination of conscience is needed. It should not be difficult to obey a few rules, but this thread is proof that some cannot stop themselves from slinging mud directly at other posters.
