I'd welcome a firmer hand on eliminating these submissions.

Yes comrade, for example we could get rid of these stories about these “start up companies,” they are clearly capitalism extremists pushing their political viewpoints.

Jokes aside, I think it is hard to moderate too strictly on the topic of “no politics” without enforcing a particular political viewpoint, because we tend to see politics we like as normal, and politics we don’t like as politics.
