there are implied topics. for example /pol/ and /int/. when a thread is off-topic on /pol/, they move your thread to /bant/ and tell you to take it to /bant/ in the off-topic ban message, same for /int/. this means when a thread is somewhat /pol/ or /int/ adjacent, you should post it on /bant/ instead, meaning there is in fact a topic here, the topic being somewhat close to /pol/ or /int/ topics but not quite that
