Yes it was about Trumps legal problems and didn't step over the line into politics for 47 posts.What he said ^^^^^^^
Sometimes an explanation is given, ideally. Sometimes the mod concerned is about to go to bed, go out, do something, and they don't have time. I'd have thought it would be quite obvious though on the whole. If we are talking about the Trump thread...............

All civilised and respectful.
Sadly, 2 or 3 people crossed the line and made it political.
But instead of giving warnings to the 2 or 3, the whole thread is locked so nobody can carry on with the discussion in a civilised way and I think it's wrong, being treated like a child who can't be trusted.
Trump's guilty verdict is something historical that's never happened before and could effect the whole world, and to say we can't discuss it I think is wrong.
I know the forum has rules and they should be followed but to close a thread because it might get political is out of order.
In my opinion.
Except there is a very valid and important non-political discussion about the rule of law and acceptance of the verdict of a jury - and the implications for a society when verdicts of a jury or decisions of judges are challenged or undermined - especially by some in the media and by politicians.It’s been said many times that politics is zero tolerance, so the threads shouldn’t have been allowed at all IMO if you take the rules how they have been applied.
It was discussed whether the GE can be discussed, but a flat no “incase” it got out of hand.
I’d be more for punishing the offenders rather than a blanket ban, but I don’t make the rules.
