Thanks for asking. To answer your question about avoiding potentially triggering topics, no, you're not meant to do that. There would be little left to talk about if that were the goal. You're welcome to continue respectfully discussing triggering topics - as you did with the pregnancy discussion. A trigger-warning would certainly be very mindful, thank you for suggesting it. However, it isn't necessary and posters wouldn't get reprimanded if they didn't include one. Please note that a mod directive doesn't always mean that a discussion wasn't acceptable or that it was a moderator who noticed something of concern. Sometimes, it's used to acknowledge concerns that may have been raised without reprimanding the posters involved in the discussion. I noticed that there still seems to be a bit of uncertainty with regards to what is allowed. I'm sorry about that. Maybe the following questions will provide some clearer guidance: When you post, it can be helpful to consider if: - you would say it to a person's face - you would be comfortable if the person you're talking about read the comment - how you would feel if you were the person you're talking about and you read the comment - how would you feel if you were sympathizing with the person you're talking about and you read the comment These are questions every poster would have to answer for themselves but as you answer them, keep in mind that the person you're talking about likely doesn't know you, so they don't know what you sound like or how a comment is meant. Generally, it's not so much about what it discussed, as it is about how it's discussed.

Hi everyone, just a quick reminder that while this is a one-for-all topic, information that concerns something that hasn't happened in an episode yet, is considered a spoiler and should be spoiler-tagged. You're welcome to set up a media and/or spoiler/speculation topic to talk about it without having to worry about spoiling anything, though. Thank you.

Hi everyone, I wanted to drop you a note acknowledging the respectful way in which you've discussed Jinger's answer on Instagram regarding having more children as well as how much her faith/husband might influence her decisions. There's just one thing I have to bring up: While the manner in which you addressed the issue wasn't inconsiderate, please remember that pregnancy related issues can be very hard if not traumatic on women and speculation on infertility can be triggering regardless of how respectful the discussion is. Overall though, it’s a constructive conversation about sensitive subjects. Thank you.

Your topic to speculate and compare.

Hi everyone, please remember that the forum-wide spoiler policy applies. Any speculation that's made based on source material as well as any comparison with the source material is considered a spoiler and should be spoiler-tagged or taken to a separate thread. Thank you and happy posting.

Apologies for the late unlocking. Lot's of things going on today.

Thanks @shapeshifter for the clarification. The explanation is spot on.

It was brought to our attention that "Primary Care Topic" can imply that it's the place to discuss all medical related issues. One suggestion was to rename the topic to "Medical Chat". Another suggestion was to create two topics in order to separate physical health from mental health, so one "Physical Health and Wellness" topic and one "Mental Health and Wellness" topic. Please vote in the poll and/or share your thoughts below.

Hi everyone, in light of one of the ongoing discussions, I'm just dropping by to leave this behind: How can we express our differing opinions and still respect the other's opinion and recognize it as valid? How can we keep feedback constructive and disagree with empathy and consideration? Thank you.

It should be fixed now.

Thanks for the reminder. I meant to but forgot about it. Should be done now.

The show has been renamed. The other issue should be fixed as well. If it isn't, please check back.

Top Chef fans, here's the episode live chat topic. A moderator will unlock the topic in the afternoon or early evening of the day of the episode and will lock it again once the episode has finished airing on the West Coast. (If there are any members from Alaska or Hawaii who would like to have the thread open longer, please notify a moderator and we will adjust the lock-time). As always, episodes should be discussed in their respective episode topics in between episodes. As the overall impression of the Top Chef forum is that of a green-lit forum and last season's live chat has been officially green-lit, we trust that you'll nudge each other politely at the off-chance that an episode discussion ensues before or after an episode's airing and that you'll handle disagreements and discuss competition and contestants as respectfully as in the rest of the forum. Thank you and happy live-posting.

I'm not aware of any updates but it does look like what happened after the last updates. @Primetimer

Thank you for bringing topics that require changes to our attention. As topic titles aren't a "bug", please report posts that require topic title changes instead of posting them here. A report routes them through the report center where a moderator can attend to them quickly and efficiently. Thank you.

Please continue to report all topic titles that need changes (or any other issues you come across) as usual. Even though there aren't any moderators listed for specific shows, they will still be tended to by a moderator.

Hi everyone, just letting you know that a couple of your posts have found a new home in the Jeopardy! Tournament of Champions thread. Thank you, enjoy the show and happy posting.

It sounds like you picked the right option when you chose "content title only". I tried it via the +More Search Options function and the "Didn't find what you were looking for" option and it limited my results to three. Alternatively, when you open up the Movies forum page, you can temporarily sort the forum by title. It will give you all of the topics in alphabetical order, so you can see at a glance which topics there are that start with "NE". I hope that helps.

We'll look into it. Thank you for the suggestion.

Hi everyone, a few of your posts have found a new home in the newly created Tournament of Champions Season 5 Discussion thread . Please us this thread to chat about season 5 moving forward. Thank you, enjoy the show and happy posting.

Hi everyone, just letting you know that a few posts have found a new home in the Stress, Depression, Anxiety and other Mental Health-related things thread. I hope all work related troubles have had a chance to sink in and sting a little less. Thank you and carry on. 🙂

As we're anticipating the start of the Olympic Games, please use this thread to chat about everything Olympics related leading up to the opening ceremony. A full Olympics forum will be up once we get closer to the Games. Thank you and happy posting.

Hi everyone, this note is just to let you know that all posts concerning S6 E1 have been moved to the episode thread and that we have created a media thread. We would appreciate if you would continue to chat about the episode and media information in the respective threads and use this thread to discuss everything else related to the show. Thank you for your posts and help in keeping Primetimer organized and easily accessible.

All things media go here.
