We're not able to move posts to another community at the moment, but we're thinking of locking posts that should be in !politics and asking the OP to cross-post them there. Do you think this is the best approach?

One of the problems I had with r/nz (and some other subs) is that their rules got so strict, I basically gave up posting because chances are anything I posted would be deleted

Is one option here to encourage government-related posts to go into !politics, but not lock them when they end up in the wrong place?

Edit: to make it a bit clearer, and reference what others have mentioned, people are saying #1 and #4 are political, but #2 is not. But surely racism is a political issue, not to mention the international relations component (the boundaries of countries are largely drawn politically). I know people will argue against that, but it seems to me there’s also a pretty good argument that it is political.

I guess 1 and 4 are something the Government has done (or not done), while #2 is not related to our government.
