censorship, locking of threads and freedom of expression

Iain

Following from a discussion on this discussion about the way threads are locked or removed when someone if offended by the content which remain within the rules (  Why Did Number Leave This Place? ) I thought it worth having a poll to see if there in an interest in requesting a change to the way these posts are moderated.

  • Look just blame me for it. I wanted my comments removing and I couldn’t do it as I didn’t have permission so I asked the mods to do it for me. I wasn’t expecting them to lock the thread I didn’t even ask for that. I’ll send proof of my emails in screenshots if I have to! Though I would crop my email address out! I wasn’t expecting all this to happen, it’s like a volcano has erupted and it’s my fault. I wish I never voiced my views now I thought that what the forum was about. I can’t help but feel responsible but must it be rubbed in my face? If people had just understood my views of why I was uncomfortable!

    As others have said below, there is no blame here. You were triggered and took the correct action which was asking for the posts to be reviewed.

    It has raised a valid subject about how we deal with threads that contain valid posts but which are triggering for some people and this is what I'm trying to get some consensus about.

    If there is a significant proportion who favour one approach then I will ask the management here to take it under serious consideration, although it is ultimately their decision.

    Please continue to do authentic and follow your heart.

    Thank you for getting back to me about this. I do feel bit better now. I just thought I had caused all this and I feel I’m the one who everyone should be mad at, not the mods. I understand everyone else’s reasons I just automatically thought I was to blame. I’m going through a lot at the moment lately so I’m not really all there to process things. This kitchen remodel is taking its toll on me
