Stuff that has a punchline or at least an attempt at a joke.

It's about posts that literally don't have a joke in them, we're not going to delete posts for just not adhering to our own sense of humor.

Nope, every joke that’s personally unfunny needs the user skinned and impaled

If it's not complicated can you describe how the mods are going to decide how to remove posts?

If a post attempts to make a joke, it stays.

If a post is just "whenthe whenthe when the when" or "I don't care about TADC", with no meaningful punchline, just a blanket statement, it gets removed.

Is that easier for you?

Not really since that's what the mod said. The "no meaningful punchline" is the part that makes this more complicated than it seems and the mod didn't define that.
