Hi everyone, how are you doing? As there have been several posts about it and the request was made, I’d like to address the practice of post removal. Based on the fact that politics is a subject we can get very passionate about and this is a thread that may be subject to closure, I felt it was fairest to treat and moderate this particular thread a little differently. I opted primarily for post removal either followed by mod notes or after mod notes were given. It was my understanding that posts that violated mod notes given in a respective topic had always been removed without any additional explanation, so, I didn’t feel the need for clarification. I can see how it can feel disconcerting if that wasn’t understood and I apologize for any misunderstandings or uncertainty my decision has caused. I understand that a mod note that doesn’t seem clear can lead to insecurity. Since I know what I’m talking about when I leave a mod note (as do the team members I consult with), it’s hard for me to determine if anything, and what specifically, is unclear, though. So, please be so kind and look through the mod notes. If there’s anything that needs clarifying, kindly post your question here. I’ll collect them until the end of next Wednesday, Feb 26th and then address them in a Q&A style post here. (Please note that any questions or comments posted in this thread will be removed).

Hi everyone, as the current administration has put transgender people front and center of public debate and honest mistakes can still be harmful or offensive, I’d like to leave you with the GLAAD Media Reference Guide as a “cheat sheet”. Thank you!

Hi everyone, I’ve seen some speculation around the creation of the topic, so I thought I’d just clear it up. I created it some time on November 6th after I had seen the first posts pop up in "Chit-Chat: What's On Your Mind Today?" As the election results affected (and affect) all of us and had (and have) repercussions beyond the US, I felt that it wasn’t fair to stifle conversation around it. But I also wanted to prevent posts from appearing here and there. So, in order to keep politics free spaces politics free, and the others show-related, I set up this thread. As tessaray correctly assumed, I used a previously made post as the first one so that my opening post wouldn’t fade into the other posts somewhere in the middle of the first page. With that said, the thread is open to everyone who wishes to post. It isn’t, and never was, intended as a safe heaven for either side or anyone in between and the ask that feelings please be recognized, respected and considered equally valid, shouldn’t be interpreted as an excuse to express them without any regard for other community members. (Because, if you take a peek at that first post, I also pointed out that things like gloating, personal attacks and accusations and so on could lead to the closure of the topic). On that note, kindly remember to keep criticism constructive and express disagreement in ways that respect the opinion of the individual, as well as the individual, we disagree with. Use “I” statements and focus on facts and/or actions and not the individual. "I" statements and fact/action-based commmenting allows us to hold individuals (outside the community) responsible and express disagreement without shaming or making community members feel judged. If you need to, consider taking a break from the thread. As much as it can help to be among people who share our impressions and feelings, the more there is of the impressions or feelings that we share, the more it amplifies our own. Taking a break allows us to clear our heads and hearts and focus on and fill them with something else. At least, for a little bit. Thank you!

Thank you for the additional information. I wondered if it might have been something I did when I created the subforums but I didn't create the Celebrity Jeopardy forum, so, that's likely not it. Can you say for sure that it's only those two forums and doesn't happen in, for example, NCIS or 90 day fiancé as well? (I marked them read but, of course, no one has posted since). @SoMuchTV tagging you to let you know the issue is addressed here. 🙂

Hi everyone, just a quick note to let you know to please head on over to Chit-Chat: What's On Your Mind Today? to continue to chat about Costco. Thank you!

It wasn't you, it was us but it should work now, so please try again 🙂

The community members are referring to trying to change your password in Account Settings. Come to think of it, it might be good for have a "forgot password" link there, so, that members don't have to log-out to get there. Is that something that can be done @AllAstronauts ?

I'm assuming your email server is blocking Primetimer's automated email.

Hi everyone, in preparation for the upgrade, we’re going to switch from email or username (+ password) log-in to email (+ password) log-in only five days from now, on Monday evening ET, February 3rd. If you haven’t yet but need to, kindly check your email address. If you have any questions about the log-in change, or are otherwise in need of assistance or information regarding the log-in changes, please use this thread here. Thank you, The Mod-Team

To me, it always happens just because, although, with some regularity. I haven't paid close enough attention but it's possible that's every month or so. 🤷‍♀️

It sounds like what's happening to me. If it is, it may be that you just need to readjust the page width. 🙂
