    if you post enough threads about natural bodily functions do you think they would eventually have to keep them running

    what thread?

    2 threads about periods got the axe. Presumably because talk of a uterus tearing down its walls is too violent for some folk.

    If this thread gets shut and deleted can someone tell me why - it's nearly midnight now here so I have to go to bed but I don't want to miss out.

    It IS violent. Personally, I'm traumatized when anyone reminds me that it'll be happening again. I have PMS PTSD.

    Teehee you said "bodily functions" and "running" in the same sentence.

    Careful, that could be interpreted as a racial stereotype. Do you WANT this thread to be locked and deleted to - DO YOU, I SAY!?

    So we arent allowed to talk about natural human functions which can affect weight on a diet-help/weight-loss site? Wtf is this world coming to? Now I am surprised some of my topics havent been shut down. Cause I ask/talk about... *Gasp* In-Uterine (IUD) Birth Control!!!

    In all seriousness, they probably have a process in place for complaints or reported posts.....it is not sexism, just a quantitative evaluation of a thread that people might find objectionable because they live to be offended.

    You're not allowed to publicly questions The Mods. Same reason this thread will get locked, too.
