Akp no longer has strict rules against it. It now is more of a case by case thing. If the subject of the thread is super inflammatory then we may remove it. Twitter drama is very broad and not all of it needs to be removed, sometimes users just want to discuss so we look at each thread individually. But I also would urge users to not comment on obvious bait. Let those threads die and the trolls be ignored. Those threads only thrive because ppl fall for these posts.

Maybe because they expect that people will fight over it: which then creates more traffic to this site.
However, as said above, it made me leave for quite a while, so it might make people want to leave here.
I am already seeing the stupidity related to Twitter fights being brought here by some (luckily: not all) users, so might be going again. If I wanted Twitter stupidity, I'd join Twitter.
I also think that it might make people leave the site to go to Twitter to have their arguments with the ones who actually started it. So I am not sure if it actually helps the site that much in the long run.
It certainly makes the site here looks less civilized, but that is just my opinion.

If I do it=okay, if you do it against my faves= ban time
There does seem to be a bit of nuance however
I don`t have a twitter account, therefor i don`t do it. And yes, i don`t appreciate that other people do it just to shade some idol, group or fandom
is not a forum rule, but a polite rule
it comes from: look at this fandom, how they mistreated my fave, when that twitter account has 20 likes and nobody care.
i have seen in may outlet news report twitter post shading the worst way my fave...do i bring it here when i see the fandom that mistreat my idol complain how my fandom is toxic on twitter with their faves...i try not to at all...but if they keep pushing my buttons i might

You're absolutely right.
This is how those fanwars spread.
It sometimes takes just one or two people to start a large fanwar.
People start quoting their abuse on twitter, which spreads it to their fandom and then they all come with a million receipts on how the other fandom is worse because....
Bonus points if third or fourth fandoms get dragged into it somehow.
Triple bonus if the person starting it, isn't even from the fandom, but a troll or a Western stan trying to make people fight.

Answering it seriously (since my original reply wasn't), the tolerance seems to be about what's brought up. So nuance is necessary. Not all negative things brought from Twitter lead to negative discussions
Things that seem to be okay:
Controversies started on Twitter (ie BamBam)
The general kpop community dragging the hell out of an idol ( encore mishaps)
Trending allegations of fraud even though it's usually 2 specific fandoms going at it (Spotify thing, false music show wins etc)
Large amounts of fanbases, specific sects of fans trying to actively destroy another idol
Things that are frowned upon:
Fandom vs idol
Fandom v fandom
Insubstantial drama
As toxic as AKP can be, I think we can have some common sense, especially now that we don't have certain staff egging on drama anymore
