Ask HN: Can we get a ruling on political submissions?
The moderating staff tried a one week ban on politics. It didn&#x27;t work and didn&#x27;t last a week in part because it failed so spectacularly. One result: Almost every single submission had people threadshitting with announcements that &quot;This is POLITICAL&quot; as their way to protest the ban on politics.<p>Flag or downvote. Read the things that interest you. Ignore the stuff that doesn&#x27;t. There is no obligation for you to read anything in particular and I have difficulty believing that anyone can manage to even read everything that hits the front page, plus all comments, etc.
