That's actually not a bad idea! Wish I'd thought of that!

My only suggestion for the haven forum is that it should be made members only. I have no idea why anyone posts there while it's public. It's supposed to be a safe-ish space, but it's easily search-engine indexable. It provides no protection for those who might need it most. I realize making an account is a low barrier, but that beats letting it all hang out for all to see.
Certainly, it takes an autistic person to fully know and understand what another autistic person is going through.  For this reason alone, I "second the motion".

I think the idea in keeping it public is that a non-member may be helped by reading a post and the support offered on it. WP can even help lurkers. :)

Politics is verboten in The Haven.
Simply mentioning a politician or party name in a topic tile is not a political message.
The Haven permits members to post about painful events/situations, even if those involve politicians or public figures/organisations and as such, members are allowed to place the perceived cause of their difficulties in the topic title.

No, it's not. It's placing an additional burden on someone who may already be really upset to have to double-think their topic's title. You're asking that a poster avoids certain words you don't like seeing.
Almost 48 hours ago I asked you to provide examples of topic titles from The Haven which you believe to be providing political commentary. You haven't replied.

If a topic in The Haven becomes a political message or if posters make it so, then that is entirely different and will be addressed by the mod team - as has recently happened.


I think we're done here.
Thread locked.
