The forum does not remove "inaccurate" information and does not fact-check posts. If you want to post where posts are fact-checked, you can go to Twitter, and you will find a place in which nearly everyone thinks the same.
Do you know that from experience or do you just assume it should be like that? Inaccurate information that stimulates a completely illogical and unnecessary discussion is definitely something I report, but always with evidence that confirms it.
I can guarantee you that the forum will not delete a post just because it contains inaccurate information. The reasons for this are similar to why the forum does not moderate scams. There are many cases in which the moderators do not know with 100% certainty if something is true, including in the case of the thread referenced in the OP. There is also the potential or moderator bias.
There are a lot of people who have replied to the
thread you reported. This is prima facie evidence that it is not sufficiently "low-value" for it to be removed, especially considering the amount of merit received of those who have posted in the thread.
My value scale is set much higher than yours, and I don't think the number of merits is the only thing that defines someone as a quality member - it's much more important to recognize what a low-value topic or post is. Very few forum members have understood what is written in
this sticky thread.
You misunderstood what I was saying. I was saying that many people who have previously received a lot of merit are actively participating in the subject thread. A low-value topic in one in which it is not possible to make meaningful replies to the thread. If someone has received a lot of merit, it is generally unlikely for them to be making a lot of low-value posts.
Do you still think
"that it is not sufficiently "low-value" for it to be removed"?
The user prohibited2021 was nuked earlier today, and as such all his posts were removed. When a post is removed, generally all reports against that post will be marked as "good", even if the reason is incorrect. I am not sure why he was nuked, however, he made several posts today that were basically one-liners.
My opinion on the subject thread remains unchanged.
