Hello.
Today one of my thread was deleted by a moderator for the reason "Political content". However, I didn't mean to have a political discussion. What I focused on was its language use. That was still an English learning thread. Please see:
-------
General Rules
[...]
3. Religion and Politics
This is a forum with members from all over the world, and therefore political discussion is banned due to its potential to offend.
Discussions about religion and politics often become arguments very quickly. Our general policy is not to have such discussions. We are a language forum and, as far as possible, discussions should stick to language issues. There are political aspects to language learning and teaching, but any discussion that starts to get heated will be closed or deleted.

As you can see, the rule doesn't say that a thread should be deleted just because it contains "political content". Political content doesn't necessarily mean political discussion. I was asking about the use of "the People" in a twitter in that thread. In addition, there wasn't anything offensive in it. Therefore, please restore the thread. Thank you.
