There's a tsunami of Twitter sewage inundating this forum. There are a few users who make it their speciality to post the dumbest takes on Twitter from the rogue's gallery of think tankies, self-loathing bananas, and other assorted garbage floating in that sewer. Whether they do this to troll or because they suffered emotional damage there and want us to commiserate is irrelevant, the result is a lowered quality on the forum.
I start this thread to advocate penalties for users who link Twitter excessively (even exclusively). I don't think Twitter should be forbidden entirely, however a conduit to a sewer should be handled with more care and discretion than is currently displayed.
I don't disagree with your assertion, but the problem is that there is a different view on what is garbage or not, and what is lowering the quality of the forum.
Case in point: a few weeks ago you wanted to shutdown a conversation on the semiconductor thread because you thought it wasn't relevant to the thread and in the end you got slapped down by the mod there. So the conclusion we can draw from that story is that your judgement of what is good for forum conversations is probably not as good as you think it is
My take, unless you think you are exceptional, if you see a garbage tweet, report it to the mods. I would rather trust a mod's judgement more than yours. Finally, if you come across a bad tweet why not respond and call them out if you think the tweet content is not good?
To conclude, imo this whole thread is a waste of time because judging what is a garbage tweet or not is a subjective metric unless it is super obvious like "hurr hurr just nuke Washington D.C/Beijing".
And if your proposed change that you want, happened, it would open up another can of worms of "why you deleted my tweet? Its a bad source, but the content was right" "it was the only one reporting it at that time" "actually this twitter account is reliable when reporting on this field" etc..
Be the change you want to make by actually acting as a normal forum member when you see a bad tweet. Call them out if you don't agree with the tweet, and I am sure that the other party would be happy to respond to you. Unless of course you are not confident in yourself, in which case you might as well as keep creating new threads and talking about stuff in general "oh they are garbage tweets but I won't tell you which exactly so I am creating a thread to vent"
