I didn't mean to come here just to complain.

I know we got that warning about the moderation getting stricter around here. I'm not complaining, honestly. I actually respect it. But...

But something else is bothering me. The moderator deleted a post where I was quoting another user who was commenting on what happened in tonight's episode (specifically the main character's outfit). I was just adding to the conversation about what we saw. A third user even asked for pictures of what was shown, but once she realized the posts were being wiped, she had to 🙂 go back and edit her own post because she couldn't figure out what she was allowed to say or who she could quote anymore.😕

If the moderator is going to go around deleting things, why isn't she being careful about what she removes so she doesn't confuse everyone else? People might actually start thinking they didn't see what they saw (or that the moderator doesn't want them to see it 😁).

Looking at her "blue" warnings, I've pulled out a few things that I'm apparently not allowed to do—things I thought were fine, but apparently aren't 😢:

1. - I'm not allowed to comment on what other users write (even though I've always exclusively commented on their thoughts about the show before). 😕

2. and here she says to comment on what we saw, yet when we do, she deletes our posts. 😕

Could someone besides her finally tell us exactly what we can and cannot write? Her warnings have left us totally confused (at least I am 😕 🙂).

In the end, I just explained it to myself like this: write only what you saw, and when you do, expect to be deleted. It seems like it's better to write about things you *didn't* see, because practice shows you won't get deleted then. 😳 I might have overcomplicated that last sentence, but then again, that's exactly what the moderator does with her warnings 😳.

So, I’m the third person in this thread. I was just quoting bits from two or three other users to add my own take—and just to be clear, we weren't even talking about laws or anyone getting banned or anything like that. We were just discussing the characters, the plot, and what they were wearing. But after I hit send and went back to check the previous posts? Turns out the ones I was quoting have already been deleted. 😕 I’m honestly stuck on what to do here. I have no clue why those comments were deleted in the first place, so I went ahead and scrubbed the part of my post where I was quoting those users. It just feels wrong, you know? It seems pretty silly to leave their words sitting there if their actual posts have been wiped out. 🤷 And why was it deleted? No clue.

It's just a fact that everyone's being kicked off the thread. Normally, we'd have pages and pages of posts after a single episode, but yesterday? Total ghost town. Nobody’s posting anything—or if they do, it just gets deleted
so much

I feel like people are slowly drifting away from the topic too. Even I started feeling that way myself.

Look, my take? Nobody should be walking away from the table. We can all sit here and have a civilized conversation, even if we don't see eye to eye. And if you spot a troll? Just don't feed them. Simple as that.
