I feel it is a great shame that a thread in 'My BDSM Life' which contained members discussing highly sensitive and emotive matters but in a generally calm, constructive way, was recently locked.
I think the site as a whole would be improved by being less quick to jump on such things.
Also, the insistence that different parts of the site are entirely separate (nothing more than 'sharing a server') causes some confusion I think, given that you have to have a forums account in order to enter the chat, or indeed to submit a story.
Just my ten cents, as they say.
