This though? What kind of thread? Like, an actual discussion thread about his voting record for example?

I think maybe, I might just start deleting threads that are not clear about what they are about and have absolutely no thought gone into them too. So that thread would probably be gone. As would the many many threads that literally just have a link to a news story in them and nothing else. Like, if you want to discuss that news story, discuss it? No need to just make a title and post a link with maybe a little quote of what they story says. Add your own actual opinion to it.

You mean like my threads? I usually post articles, but can't say I always agree with them. It's just a discussion starter and usually the articles are better worded than anything I could write. The other reason I think many people don't post too many OP essays in SD is because over half the time they turn into straw mans and character attacks anyway... so some ppl may not bother.

I think deleting ambiguous threads is fine given those are usually bait threads anyway... though a lock I think is better than deleting as long as it's not particularly offensive material.

It does not need to be an essay. I cant say I have ever notice your thread being nothing but a link? I think you always actually add something to the OP? Maybe not

I know sometimes its a discussion starter, but even a starter should have something besides...'discuss' surely? Whoever is making the thread MUST have an opinion on it one way or the other? IDK..I know anything I make threads about, I always have an opinion on and want to discuss that. Maybe others are different. have made a poll anyway about all of this, where hopefully I will get a lot of opinions

It depends, sometimes it's just because of the {& News} filter portion of the sub... like making others aware of something that they didn't know about before, etc

I understand what you're saying. If a rule is put forth, I think I can manage a simple post
