On this thread. User marionhaste posted warning the op to be careful about changing Her name bcause it can be hard to change back if you get divorced. OP didn't like this but there was no personal attack in it, no offensive language, it did NOT break talk guidelines yet it has been deleted. Op says because it was hurtful. Is this your policy now? To delete different points of view when the OP finds th em hurtful? I'm furious!

Thanks Olivia that's good to know, and I'm glad the post is back.
I know you have a big staff team and newer members may have different thresholds don't mention NYE 2013 but this was a glaring error IMO.
The talk guidelines are very clear and it's totally reasonable to expect posters to adhere to them. But this isn't, and has never been, a site where posters can have posts on their threDs deleted for being a bit mean, or not what they wanted to hear. If that happens too often then it will start to become part of the culture of the site and that would be such a loss.
