Joining TSR was the best decision of my life.

A good way to procrastinate from revision, I'll give you that

People back in the day posted controversial opinions all the time. And those that withheld their opinion for 'fear' of negative rep...those people need to get a grip.
What we have now is people just post their opinions on anon which is annoying but it's an important feature so I don't know where I stand with that.

Yes. Well, I personally, basically come on this site to rant about things which I can't irl due to the pristine persona I display.

This site allows me to release my emotions bc I have nowhere else to do it. wahayayyy

But infact, you're not allowed to rant on this site anymore. At least, I'm not bc it gets me into trouble. Way more than it's worth.

So what happens is, I unfortunately get angry at not being able to rant and therefore get into trouble for getting angry.

Then I end up being unnecessarily mean bc of all the above which gets me into even more trouble.

Tbh though, what the mods would class as "mean" is infact simply just honesty at it's absolute best.

I call it the cycle of funnnnnnnnn.

You can't make it better. - it'll forever be this way. The only way you can make it better is making it better for yourself and that is by leaving.

Cycle of fun. Where do I sign up? Do I need to have a valid email address? Am I aware of what I'm letting myself in for ?

As pathetic as it is, it feels good when people validate your opinions. It's just human nature. We're a social species.
Then there were those trolls who'd be especially "controversial" for the sake of collecting red gems.

Yeah I think anon is a mixed thing. For the health forums it's very good however people do often abuse and pick on individuals and the worst thing is, is that TSR doesn't inform you of who it was that targetted you. They're allowed to remain anonymous.

You two don't have to feel like you have to act a certain way on here. Everybody has some good days, some bad days. I know once you start talking to more people you're more conscious of what you post, but ultimately just post whatever the hell you want if it makes you feel better. Just be a little more selfish :')

At the end of the day you don't know people here irl, so who cares what they think

Idk a plethora of reasons i suppose. Perhaps they lack the skills to make those relationships, perhaps they have personality disorders, perhaps theyre bullied idk. That's beside the point.
The thing is TSR attracts those kids like honey and if they're specifically targeting students then some empathy towards them needs to be shown.

Fam from what I saw the issue is that the site itself seem to remove a lot of their posts or move them if they're remotely depressing or someting.

I disagree tbh :/
If i had known how much hate i was gonna get for simply trying to be nice to people i wouldn't have joined at all. This was my first internet thing and yes ok i now know a lot more about the world i guess and i have made some friends i guess I don't really feel like it was worth it tbh but anyway lol

Yeah i've noticed this too..
They seem to end up in this thing called Peer Support Volunteers and i can understand why but i think sometimes it feels as if the thoughts of said individuals is being censored somewhat which can be frustrating i suspect

Well, maybe.

I just wanted the forum to have a more positive feel to it today.

But why does that happen ?! Seems a bit senseless. If it's mental health related it is ever more important that this content remains not gets deleted. Because raising awareness is about just that. If we delete stuff pertaining to depressed moods then what really does that to to sufferers? Makes them feel ashamed and stigmatised innit.

Mental health is so much more than exam stress or a rocky parental relationship. It's about time the real things got focused on.

Ik i feel the same which is why i disagree really with it all because apparently they remove anything vaguely alluding to self harm or suicidal thoughts (which can affect everyone btw even the 'happier' members) and i think if someone posts that in the first place then clearly they are feeling lonely and hopeless.

I think if you put it in a spoiler with a trigger warning it should be fine? @iEthan wanna double check that?

Well, maybe.

Well i thought that too but i've seen posts made that have been edited and the spoiler removed so
