It's a little of both. The CoC references it but it's pretty much up to the mods/admins. In this case I made a judgment call. The original thread was about the Supreme Court (specifically Justice John Roberts) and Abortion Law.

From the CoC:

Quote:Off topic threads and posts will be deleted.

I didn't delete the thread, I simply closed it with a statement that since it had gone off topic it was being closed and users are free to start a new thread to continue the discussion. The content is still there for users to reference and read.

There are 10 kinds of people in this world. Those who understand binary and those who don't.
