What are to be posted on politics and society

[Karl_3000]

Please I do not know what supposed to be posted on politics and society.

I am thinking anything that has to be about society (including politics) can be posted on the board. Why is this topic moved to off-topic? Cruise for life' ship seized in Singapore

It is about some people that bought apartment on a cruise ship, but after the US companies in charge ran out of money, the ship stuck in Singapore and later got seized in Singapore. Many people that thought they have bought apartment on the ship and touring are now in Singapore renting house.

My post there is just about a lesson that people should think before paying for anything.

I have seen the thread you mentioned, and I can tell you what you discussed about there has nothing to do with politics and societal matters, sorry but mods were right to move the thread to off-topic because that's where it belongs.
Your thread basically talked about a general life experience of some persons which had nothing do with politics, and neither is it a societal issue.

What do you post in Politics and Society Board?
You post actual political matters, it can be political news, it can be about a country's political system, what a politician or politicians are doing right and or wrong, it can be about corruption in politics, it can be about bad governance, it can be about economic hardship that is rooted in politics.
You can also post about issues in a society that is directly caused/linked to politics, example- electoral violence, thuggery in our society that is sponsored by politicians, a society experiencing a major breakthrough because of good governance etc.

This are just a few examples.

Don't sweat it. The staff can follow their interpretation of the rules, so a mod may have thought that the thread fits better in Off-topic.

@Fivestar4everMVP, you can seen that TypoTonic gave a better explanation because that thread can still be on politics and society board.

The seized cruise ship is a recent event in the world that people can learn from. Off-topic would have not been bad but what I do not like about the board is the little engagement because most people are not visiting the board and also they are not posting there.

This is what I observed that make your thread to be on offtopic.

The conversation you talked about does not warrant creating a thread for, since there are more enough threads to talk about Iran war and it's effect on their economy on that same board, this is a news you only have to reply one of those threads than completely creating a new one IMO, but I think the moderator will still have more better reasons why.

[Majestic-milf]

 I would have suggested that you PM the mod but since it's been 9 years we last saw Xaolex showed up, it's a good thing you opened the thread, maybe you could get answers but my best guess could be it had little to less value hence the move.

Doesn't matter bro, people sometimes, or even most times have different opinions on the same subject, sometimes based on different perspectives, so it's normal if you and maybe other persons see things differently here, that's fine but my opinion remains.

Politics & Society is a board with many spam topics and posts but it's also a favorite board for spammers to farm merit, circulate merits of their farm internally, as well as fish merit from merit sources.

If you feel surprised with any low quality topics or posts there, you are not familiar with that board or have never read any reports about plagiarized posts, AI posts, and farmed merit cases.

If you feel a thread is not right to be in that board, report it, and moderator will handle your report.
If you see something bigger, more severe, you can create a thread in Meta board, because it is a forum issue.

I don't see what your OP topic should convey to people. What does it have to do with political events or society in general? Is anyone here interested in buying apartments (especially on ships) in order to learn some lessons from your news? Let's "throw in" any events related to real estate or seizures from individuals in this section. I think there are plenty of such "news" in the world, and it is not necessary to duplicate them at all.

On the other hand, what do you want to receive in response to this topic? What posts? What can be discussed there? Although, oh, of course, the spammers will always find something to answer there.

All events do occur in the society but that does not mean that it's every story that breaks in the society that can be worth or fitting to be discussed in the P&S board. That's why I think the mod by their discretion moved it to off topic. I have learned by experience with one or two of my posts that not all posts that may appear to be societal related would be relevant to be discussed in the P&S.

I've read through the thread, and honestly, the moderator was right to have moved your topic. To me, that's not a societal issue. The topic could have best fit into the Economy board, but it is still too shallow to fit there. The topic is not addressing any societal problem; it is only highlighting financial concerns surrounding the purchase of a ship. If the thread is allowed to exist, there will be countless spam posts that address no real societal issues. Take the correction and do better with your next post in the Politics and Society board.

The PS board seem to be unnecessarily broad and that has been it's nature since I joined the forum. The board by its name has two aspects;
Politics
And
The society.

It is easy to identify topics that are political. There isn't always controversy here. Where people find it difficult to categorize posts is the societal aspect of the board. Some people think that anything that can happen in any society is fit to be in the society board, which is wrong. If we follow it thus, every off topic will be in that board.

What is needed is any topic that is beneficial to the society. I personally do not know the benefit of the Singapore cruise shit story.

Heck no! I'm not on a trial for an audition/ call to bar, neither is that board a law firm. I still think it doesn't belong there and the off topic section is the last resort.

I read the entire thread and it's funny; an estimation for the losses and a shallow advice from who? Someone who, perhaps can barely even afford any of those houses. To whom? People who can just sleep in peace and forget about it.

Off-topic would have not been bad but what I do not like about the board is the little engagement because most people are not visiting the board and also they are not posting there.

That doesn't mean it should be allowed on a section where, in most cases, sensitive political discussions drive the traffic.

Society is a broad subject which any topic related to human experience and interaction can be applied. Drawing the line between off-topic and on-topic within this board is very crucial especially if even unrelated to Bitcoin is acceptable for discussion based on the board description.

My guess is your topic was reported while the moderator that moves it viewed it as off-topic already on that board.

@Xal0lex is the mod on that board. He is the perfect user to give an answer here.

[Tetu100]

@Fivestar4everMVP has explained more better and he gave a clear example of what a politics and society post is supposed to be pointing at. So don't think the moderator was wrong by moving it to the Off-topic since there is where it rightfully belong. However, i wouldn't call this thread a waste of time because atleast you've learn one or two on what politics and society post look like so that even if you want to make another of it in future, you will do better than this and I beleive the mod wouldn't move it again as long you're doing the right thing.
