Unlock Getting Cold Feet, Again?

theForum - Changes (March 2013)

"As a result of the identified needs and potential solution outlined above, and in recognising that how the forum currently operates is not capable of meeting this need, it is necessary for us to make changes to the forum to ensure that it can continue to operate. This is alongside work being done to develop a solution outlined above.

The most significant change is that the discussion of sexual offences is prohibited. This does not mean that people with convictions for sexual offences are banned from using the forum. In practice, people with convictions of all types are able to contribute to the forum.

However, any reference to sexual offences or sexual convictions is not allowed and will be considered a breach of the rules. This means that people with convictions for sexual offences should take particular care not to disclose their offence type, explicitly or implicitly. As a result, if you feel that it is not possible for you to meaningfully contribute without disclosing such details, you should refrain from using the forum. Please be aware that there will be a strict moderating approach taken to this change, and this rule applies across the entire forum."

"We are conscious that a number of people who have significantly contributed to the forum, particularly Forum 2, will be upset, disappointed or distressed by these changes [you are a charity, right?]."
