Questions, answers and comments are only removed when they don't quite measure up to one or more of our Community Guidelines. Most common reasons for removal include the following:

• Lots of spelling/grammar errors, all-caps or "text-speak" (most people won't answer a question they can't quickly understand)
• Off-topic - an answer that doesn't directly relate to the question being asked
• TMI - including details that reveal too much about yourself or someone else
• Not a question - if you are just looking to chat rather than seeking specific information about a topic
• Nonsense - any question that is impossible for anyone to answer factually, for any reason
• Already asked - someone else may have asked the same question just minutes ago
• Illegal - anything against the law is also against our Community Guidelines
• Lovelorn - looking to hook up with other members of the community
• Offensive/vulgar - we're not prudes, but in case my grandmother is reading, keep it relatively clean

Make sure to post questions that others can actually answer. Statements that are not questions and “Magic 8-Ball” questions that are basically unanswerable, such as “Does he like me?,” “Will I get a puppy for my birthday?,” or “Am I pregnant?” etc aren’t really answerable. In addition, please refrain from posting chatty forum questions, this vs. that, yes/no, and “What’s your favorite…” type questions.
