I have removed a post, against forum rules, which uses an acronym for something that is not a recognised medical condition but rather an urban phrase. Such usage is inherently derogatory and contributes to a toxic conversational environment.

I have removed a number of reported trolling flame posts, which break the forum rules. I am not here to censor opinions, but just falsely calling another poster a “Russian” is not constructive discussion. Rule 10. You will not post troll messages. Trolling is the act of purposefully antagonising forum members by posting controversial, inflammatory, irrelevant or off-topic messages with the primary intent of provoking other members into an emotional response or to generally disrupt normal on-topic discussion. Rule 31. You will not publicly discuss other members or post any member's personal information including but not limited to emails, social media messages, private messages, photos or website details.

I have removed a few flame, bickering and name calling posts. I have no desire to censor opinions, but please just discuss the topic without the personal attacks.

I have again removed a post, attempting to bypass forum cintrols on posting about an imaginary disease.

A reported post with misgendering of another poster has been removed. Intentional misgendering to bait is not acceptable.

A post not in English and replies have been removed. Reminder rule 16. English is the only permitted language anywhere on ASEAN NOW, except within the Thai language forum, where using Thai is allowed. Short Thai translations of technical terms are permitted in specialty forums. While we make allowances for members who do not speak English as their first language, we expect everyone to make an effort to post in a manner that allows others to understand their posts. As an international forum we have members from many countries in the world, and English is not the first language of every poster.

I have removed a reported post that used the deliberate wrong spelling of a paper’s name. Please note if you report a post, do not then post a reply with your own censored version of that post, as once the reported post is removed, all replies will also be removed.

As you requested I have corrected this post from your original which stated “you should have mentioned he voted for Trump in 2020” This is a total change in what you intended to say, so I have removed all replies to the original message as they are no longer relevant. All posters are requested to proofread before commenting, so please take more care when posting and ensure what you write is what you want to say.
