let's just say, hypothetically speaking, that someone created an innocuous topic. perhaps an AMA related to their profession.

then, hypothetically speaking, let's say that someone else decided to completely derail conversation in the topic and start ranting about something either completely unrelated.

should the person who derailed the topic be modded?

iirc the mods' standing is basically "if a topic naturally veers off-course, it's fine, but if someone forcibly derails it, it's not"

Maybe they could add an On-Topic flair with consequences for derailing things.
