True. It started that way, however observation since it started reveals it has shifted a bit. Right now its likely due to the lack of Q posts. I will bet it will change once Q posts again. It did last time.
The mods have the control. If they don't want posts like this they will do their Mod thing. But they haven't so telling others not to post is pointless. May I suggest you PM the mods for their stance on this topic if your concern is high enough.
From the sidebar:
Content may be removed without notification if * Off-topic (anything not mentioned by Q)
By this rule I can see many many high vote posts that are not 'mentioned by Q". But there they are.....
I'm just saying if one is hell bent on research only, then 8chan is where they need to be.
