There are current examples of posts needing to be deleted. And in fact it has been done. This would just be whole threads needing to be deleted. And also perhaps reminders of the policy. It's not unlike posting nudity. Who decides what is nude?

On the other hand if a new group called "Politics" was made the home for such stuff and the "New Posts" filter did NOT include the new "Politics" group then ......bingo. "OFF TOPIC" can stay included in the "New Posts" filter and many of us, dare I say the majority of us would be so very happy.

I only like this last solution because when I get board I can go in there and point out BS and fussy thinking but not have to see it served up on a steaming platter everyday. It would be a target rich environment of crusty thinking.
