I would like to point out, as far as non-kilt related things for women goes, we have a Lasses Wear thread here that has been allowed to go for a long time. Much thanks, to the Moderators for allowing us Lasses to have our little spot! Keeping in mind, honestly, how many men are here and how riled up they get even in that thread, I can understand to some degree why they might not want to allow too many threads that don't have anything to do with a man's kilt or accessories (especially regarding women's wear).

The recent thread being closed did have something to do with kilt wearing, but I can see how they thought that closing it before things got out of control would be wise. Some good advice came up, and they did wait for that, at least and then saw the opportunity to go ahead and close it. Do I wish that a few other things had been posted? Yes. Maybe some of the final tips posted aren't the things that might have been a problem, and I know many of you were probably interested in that thread. I was, actually.

I was the woman who PM'd the OP of that thread. I was hesitant to discuss things too much openly for obvious reasons and also because my husband finds that subject frustrating and I didn't want to upset him if he came across it -- when I've tried to help give him advice to help him sit better, he gets very frustrated and I was a little nervous about discussing things I've seen from his sitting and seeing if it compared with the OP to help him. My husband does know about that thread now and I'm hoping that the tips in it will help him.

I do understand the frustration as to why some things are allowed to stay and others are locked. But as a few have said, moderators have to stay on their toes and try their best to do what they can to follow forum rules and make sure things stay where they should. You can never please 100% of the people 100% of the time. I for one am happy to have as much moderation as we do -- some of my other favorite places allow a lot more and frankly I think it causes a lot more frustration and hurt feelings. Will I eventually be slapped on the wrist? I'm sure I will, but I'll understand that it's nothing personal and I will just have to try to remember that I'm glad I don't have their job!
