Using this modded question as an example, why would or should responses in Social be modded off, other than spam, flame bait or insults to others?

I was not part of this question but came upon it as I was reading things today.

I see responses were modded off, and a discussion ensued about it.

Social was always the area where discussions could flow and meander. Often, the thread will (or would) devolve into jokes about the frizzer, pancakes, or off topic (as another recent example about United States draft for military service became a discussion about women in the military).

I’m not understanding why Social would be modded, other than the examples I gave (spam, flame bait, insults, etc.). Can someone help me comprehend?
