The S word

[chemonro]

I tried to make a post about a drama about mental health which talks about the S word. And I got a message that I can't use that word on the forum? <br><br>Is that right? Seems like a potential elephant in the room issue to me?

If your can't talk about it, how can you recover from it, get support for it, and destigmatise it?

Hello Chemonro,

We've many people bring this to light, and we are learning and making changes thanks to members - like yourself - voicing their concerns.

The purpose of having the automatic filter was to prevent triggering words and ensure safety of community members. But after a lot of feedback from members like yourself this was reviewed and is going to change. It might take a few weeks to implement. So thanks for you input and patience.

Well said Che, I've been going on about it for around 2 weeks now (sometimes behind the scenes via email), and you've said it so succinctly. I'm so relieved they've listened and are changing it.
Best regards,
Kristin

Yes me too, can't type bl@@d test, which seems daft as plenty of people regularly get bl@@d tests for all kinds of reasons.
