Why was my thread deleted?

[Tentative]

Guess this is where I should post this. Just curious, its contents didn't seem anywhere near as explicit as some threads I've seen on this forum that didn't get deleted or locked.

[millenniumman75]

What was your thread about?

[Tentative]

Ah, I see. My bad. It was the one in the "Voting Booth" sub-forum about nipple color.

[Just Lurking]

There have been too many "what size / how big" (or "what colour") type threads here lately. This was starting to look more like a giant advertisement for a brothel than a social anxiety support site, so they got the axe.

They could be reposted in the 18+ group.

[Tentative]

Strange, I hadn't really noticed any of these for a while. Brothel? I think that's a gross exaggeration, but there are definitely other negative things some (unclosed) threads on this forum seem to represent. Putting a taboo on discussing relatively tame things like nipple color only sexualizes it. That's cool, though.

Anyway, I would repost it, but the option to make polls in any of the groups is currently unavailable.

OK. I brought up the suggestion of creating a restricted 18+ Forum. We'll see if it flies.

If you read the Terms of Service, this whole site is supposed to be 18+...but whatever.

We have people here under 18.
Those kinds of threads don't really contribute to the discussion of SA anyway.

[WintersTale]

I don't see the need for threads like that, anyway.

[Tentative]

^There's no real "need". They're just for distraction, not unlike a lot of other threads on this forum. It's good that people can vent here, but there's an excess of negative/repetitive threads on this forum concerning exciting topics such as obsession over virginity, etc. It's a good thing to be able to break away from those, no matter what the subject may be, as long as its nature isn't hostile, but that's just my opinion.

Yeah...

I guess that needs to be changed.

So, some users are breaking the terms of service/guidelines then...where is the ban hammer? It just seems silly to me to create a 18+ section of this forum when users are supposed to be 18+ in the first place. (This is where a mod will tell me that they can't control that. They can. This is also where a mod will tell me that users under 18 ARE allowed, but with parental permission...but we all know they don't.)
Like I said though...whatever.

I agree, there are a lot of threads made here that have absolutely nothing to with suffering from social anxiety.

Maybe Tentative can write a research paper after he's done compiling the stats on the color of SA people's body parts. That'll provide him some more distraction, too.
