When you say a thread "only invites forbidden replies"

But there are several replies and none of them are of the "forbidden" type, is that really a good justification for outright deleting a lament (on GD) about being ghosted because it falls into the "Religion, Sex, Politics, [or] any social issues, though some exceptions may be appropriate" category? Note that posts calling people trash are considered acceptable by Boards mods, and video posts in M&G (there's a specific rule against it) are also considered acceptable by Boards mods.

I think Boards mods need better training and tools to ensure consistency and avoid bias. This would help posters figure out in a logical, deterministic manner what kind of posts are and are not acceptable and make Boards a better place for everyone.

No they're not. Report them.

Also, your thread was titled "I'm so good at languages I'm learning to speak Woman." That's inherently a sexist joke at best, and removable on its own merits. The fact that it invited same sort of inappropriate joke seems decidedly secondary.

Mods are just political propaganda machines at this point. There is no improving them.

Fun fact: Clothing is sexist. The zipper is on opposite sides depending if the clothing is designed for male or female.
