Why The Post Was Deleted

Hi Everyone

I know everyone is upset that a certain post was deleted but unfortunately, I have to follow the rules of the forum which state as it's very first rule:

1. No discussion of any illegal activity or threats of violence. (ie. illicit drug use or exchange, threats of suicide or self-injury, or threatened or intended physical harm). Discussions of suicide or self-harm that are deemed negative and therefore potentially injurious to others are also not permitted.

I understand we're all concerned about Shrek, but I couldn't leave the thread here in the forum. Sometimes a moderator's job sucks and this is one of those times, but I have to follow the rules, just as you do.

Please understand, the rules are here for everyone and to keep people safe.

Thanks.

Shaz, I have to say I agree with removing the thread. We are not trained to help someone in this situation and even if we were, we don't know anything about him and how to get him any real help. So, the thread in my opinion was very disturbing and voyeuristic. I too hope he is well and getting the help he needs.

     Good rule...we should not have to deal with issues like that.
