I'm *NOT* In Crisis

Sventek May 24th, 2020

I posted a rather detailed response to a member, and then all that I wrote went COMPLETELY away and was replaced with one sentence.

"Something in your forum post sounded like you might be in crisis. If you are thinking about harming yourself or someone else, please refer to these crisis resources."

Great. All the time, effort, and energy I put into a member's response that was looking for support, empathy, and perhaps some knowledge -- gone. I can't even recover what I wrote. Ok, so, shame on me for not making a copy before I pressed Add Thread, my fault. Lesson learned.

The system could have provided me the concern, without swallowing my message whole. BTW, I'm also a Forum Supporter for that section as well.

This is something that should be looked into, my post did not discuss my own self-harm or any inkling to myself being in a crisis. In fact, if anything -- I'd recommended that they seek the necessary help to support their situation.

I find the fact that the system swallows posts whole in that manner completely unwarranted and extremely upsetting.

Her post is now sitting there without a response.

@Sventek It's coming up on a year that I posted about it - https://www.7cups.com/forum/SiteUpdates_100/SuggestionsandProblemSolving_383/CensorinForums_203346/

I don't know why they decided to make the forum one make posts disappear so they cannot be editted like chatrooms and 1-1s and there hasn't been any changes in response to feedback about it. It's frustrating.

@AffyAvo very frustrating! It stays in the chats so why not forums...especially where responses may be longer

@Sventek I feel your frustration crying I've been there too, so annoying and feels like something just got taken away from you...second time to write it is never as good :/
