Thinking about all the effort that goes into making a thread… researching social media, coming up with a title, pasting all the links, formatting everything just right…

5 minutes later:

THREAD CLOSED.

Does it hurt?

To prevent this, you need to trade "favors" with the mods.

No, I trade "favors" with the mods

I only cry when they merge cerTain threadS

Yes, when I got my thread-making rights taken away years ago, I fell into an emotional hollow pit. it was during COVID and ATRL was the only place that kept me going through lockdown.

Not being able to make threads anymore has caused me a lot of distress over the years. Not being able to create a thread for a release by an artist that I like, which in return introduces members to new music. Or not being able to start discourses on important topics. For example, the EU Parliament adopted their controversial chat control law just this week. There have been no threads or posts about it on ATRL. Mind you, there are a lot of Europeans here so a discussion on a matter that concerns us would be greatly welcomed.

Hopefully nothing marriage-relaTedS

this thread

ATRL could never make me cry

No I only make flop threads about innofensive artists no one cares about

Yes I do, as a neurodivergent individual it really affects me.

No. I think of other clever ways to make threads.

Will laugh when they close this one

No, I just open another one with different wording…

No I haven't made negative threads about Taylor so this hasn't happened yet

And? The Adderall is keeping me balanced, most days I'm good. Just some random days I get unhinged.

The mods need to stop closing threads. Why are they trying to silence us? It's giving totalitarian regime.

No I storm into HQ and send a help request in APA format.
