I just received an official excuse... though earlier on, I was met with more of a "please, give me a break" attitude. As for how much potential these discussions actually had, I honestly can't say, nor do I wish to jump to any conclusions. Regarding the actual content of the posts, no one can definitively claim that this hasn't happened to several other people on this forum as well. But fine, I have no desire to drag this debate out any further. As far as I'm concerned, this thread can be locked and put away

I’m currently just browsing on my phone, so I’ll post the full details once I’m back at my computer. It feels like we should be discussing similar experiences—much like how people debate those three-person relationship dynamics on other threads—and what one should realistically expect after something like that happens. But fine, no problem... if you want to keep the topic closed, that's your call. I wouldn't have any issue with it if someone had just given me a legitimate reason right out of the gate.

I certainly understand that being a moderator isn't an easy gig, but that doesn't give anyone a free pass to enforce double standards or resort to insults.

I asked my question quite politely, and frankly, I feel like I deserved a much better response than that. Up until today, I was under the impression—and I’ve always heard—that this forum exists specifically as a space to turn to when you have questions or need support... Clearly, I was mistaken about that. To make matters worse, I happened to stumble upon two or three other threads that are almost identical to mine, yet they haven't been shut down. Even if a thread is closed for some reason, even if it feels unfair to me, there should at least be a clear explanation provided, rather than just an entirely inappropriate statement. I honestly have no idea what criteria are being used to decide who gets to post and who doesn't, but at this point, I truly don't care. Thanks.

I would like to formally request a clarification from the moderator in question, as I am genuinely at a loss regarding the current situation... As far as I am aware, this forum exists specifically for sharing experiences and providing mutual support to one another. Furthermore, I would kindly ask that this thread be unlocked, as I am truly interested in reading everyone's perspectives... Thank you.

I would like to offer my apologies in advance if a discussion on this subject already exists elsewhere. I started this thread to address a situation that has been weighing heavily on my mind, hoping to connect with someone who might have faced a similar ordeal... however, that hope was dashed when the moderator simply replied, "Give me a break," and shut the whole thing down. It feels as though my low post count is being used to diminish my perspective, which isn't right. Closing threads doesn't exactly encourage anyone to participate more actively, does it? That is merely my observation.
