Complaints about threads

I'm relatively new to this site. I can see how I might complain to a "moderator" about the content of a particular post but is there a way that I can contact someone who oversees the site and its use?

In particular I've been looking into a thread under "spirituality" and it is shocking to think that a vulnerable person or a child could "stumble" into it.

What about it is the problem?

I can see nothing in it anymore damaging than many other forums on Boards.

Jackie laughlin I have already asked you to speak to me about what it is you have an issue with.
There is a chain of command here at boards and it goes forum moderator, super moderator and then the site owners who are the admin.
You have issue with one of the threads in one of the forums that I moderate what are your concerns ?

You need to get an access request for soccer. Have a read here and it will tell you why.

And until you post your concerns for the users of the spirituality forum to see, none of us know why you are objecting. The forum is a place we find very positive and safe, its non religious, no one tries to force their views on anyone else. I cannot understand what you find to object to. There are far more offensive posts in AH any day of the week.

I think she isn't reporting it to you Thaedydal because she wants the whole forum shut down.

Jackie is there something in particular? From what I have read there is nothing there that frighting or would hurt a child. Heck 5 seconds in google will get you worse (as would watching the news).

OP. Come back when you've PM'd a mod, or reported a post on the thread, adding the comment that other posts in the same thread have the same issue AND then left it a reasonable length of time for a mod to deal with this and still haven't had anything.

byrnep. What on earth does that have to do with the topic in this thread? Why exactly do you need to add "What the **** is all that about?" when you haven't even explained just what it is you are trying to do yet?

Have a bit more cop-on and manners and you might even get an answer to your questions before you get banned.

Ah, I see.

Of course if we disallowed forums due to the prejudices of every random weirdo what would we have left?

All of the religious forums would be shut down.

All of the arts forums.

Games would be gone pretty quickly.

The rest would take a while to fall, but they'd all be gone soon enough.

The comments by JL have been removed. The OP here thought it was irresponsible to have a thread suggesting the people posting about the possiblity of psychic and such being would be damaging if kids or gullable people found it.

Thaed removed all the comments to "bring it back on topic". It would have been nice to see what the problem was alright, though.

This was the posting what was previously linked to it was removed from the thread as it was off topic.

I may have unintentionally started a thread under "feedback" by asking if anyone knew of a method for submitting overall rather than particular complaints.

I would not like a child, a person experiencing some sort of crisis or a naive, credulous individual to be exposed to people who believe in psychic powers, astrology, paranormal activity, etc. etc.

I've avoided the use of inverted commas above in case I offend believers.

If you read it 'backwards' it says 'Satan' over and over again.
