I personally think it's a little much with the moderation thing. I actually used the word HELL and was dismissed... Please.. That"s a little over the top. My personal opinion only. Also i have never been someone that swears or disrespected anyone in my life. I am 64...Also a little sick of this politic correct business and just means to me you have to make everyone feel good. Feel free to get rid of me.:)

No @Moggely, Finding the right word to expres emotion is difficult enough without having swearing 'excommunicated". I have resolved myself to using a Thesaurus to find a slightly less objectionable word whilst skating the rim of the sin bin as it were !!

You are entitled to an opinion and to highlight what you perceive as a deficiency, drawback or fault.

All the moderators are volunteer staff members, they give of their time and effort freely. Members are free to give of their time or not and the same applies to advice and support. There is no obligation wrt membership that requires that particular members (no matter how long or short their membership has been) answer all and every query. I am sorry to hear that you are disappointed with the level of support you have received. As to language moderation this has to be viewed with a nod to being even handed with an atmosphere that doesn't descend to that seen on other social media platforms.
With regard to moderation on this particular thread, perhaps you did not see the image in question and the reason for that moderation has not become clear, yet. There is a reason that the forum has rules and these are by no means arbitrary.

I think it's just the software editing some bad language, nothing to do with moderators. I had a word replaced with stars recently and I know it was edited within a second of posting so it definitely wasn't a mod doing this, just the computer saying 'no' lol. A mod would usually send a note saying what had been amended and why.

@Guzzler i simply used the word hell????. But thank you for your support because, besides you, there were few others except in the forum( what are you blood glucose levels) They are humble people. Perhaps everyone could learn from them.:)

We are all different, some I'm sure would love to spend more time supporting those people who are newly diagnosed but life, family and work committments means that time is limited. My blood glucose levels, all things considered, are doing fine.
I think you've hit the nail on the head in saying we can all learn from each other, one way or another. Stick around and soon you will be the one giving advice as per your own experiences.

@kitedoc i and many others like me are not entitled to an opinion.
I don't understand why you feel this way.

Oh and you are diet controlled is that right? Because if this is true then the system has made a mistake (computer error, not yours) as you are showing as insulin dependent T2. This would be why I personally haven't answered your questions before as I am not on insulin so felt I couldn't help you.

Moggely - Just to clarrify. No moderator touched the image in the first post. The OP didn't touch it either. The image appears when the link is activated, so the picture is hosted eslewhere, out of DCUK control.
