Thanks for pointing me to this thread @tatemono, but I have to say some of these posts are… surprising.
Our community guidelines are here and agreed to by all members:
https://community.openrent.co.uk/faq
Where we receive reports, or see posts, that go against these guidelines they will be moderated as you have seen. We have a mixture of automatic and manual moderation. We can’t run this forum without any moderation, because sadly, as many users have seen there are plenty of posts which go far beyond what would be deemed acceptable by these clear guidelines.
If you want to come here and repeatedly breach the guidelines, your account will be suspended. This forum is intended to be a friendly place where landlords and tenants support other landlords and tenants in their journey - not dismiss their questions out of hand, or criticise people directly.
And yes, posting on a thread where a genuine landlord is asking for help, to cross-post about something entirely different, is against our rules and I’m not surprised it was flagged and removed as off-topic. This is covered under keep it tidy.
If any users repeatedly breach these rules then I’m afraid this isn’t the place for them and they will be suspended. We want landlords and tenants, renting for the first time or the 100th time, to feel welcomed and supported here.
If you are not sure your post adds to the conversation, think over what you want to say and try again later.
