I think it’s about time that we clarify (rather clarify again) our position on status updates, posts, blogs, etc that have depressive or suicidal messaging. Whether self-deprecating or otherwise, staff takes a fair approach to these trying to balance a positive atmosphere while being empathetic toward those that struggle with Depression, Anxiety, and Personality disorders. Here are the important parts. We will not warn or ban users with mental health concerns. While some may disagree with this, we take the general position that banning a user for posting that they want to die or that they hate their life is a dick move. This is pretty much off the table. We are not mental health professionals Nobody on staff is trained and licensed to help people with mental health problems. We will not adopt or advocate a process to ‘fix’ the issues some of our users face. I’m actually one of the few here that has taken clinical psychology courses on abnormal and developmental psychology, and was married to a PsyD for several decades. I’ve faced my own problems, had family commit suicide, and had even more attempt it. Self-harm is something that I’ve had to address as a parent. Even with that exposure, I’m not close to being qualified to step in. I know better. Staff will react to depressive and suicidal content While we won’t treat this like different rule violations, we will still hide status updates and blogs that are concerning. We may let it go, we may reach out to the person suggesting Life Advice, online and phone resources, and even suggesting someone engage their health professionals for treatment. We will not just let the content sit if we see it. In rare cases we may limit what is approved or prevent a person posting status update for a day. You have some control over what you see We do appreciate reports on ones we don’t catch, but over the years I’ve noticed some phrase their report comments in a way that seems to reflect a dislike for the content, or bias against an individual. To those individuals I would direct them to their profile settings where they can Ignore specific users. The rebuttals I have heard before have been along the lines of not wanting to use this feature due to some perceived notice that it’s somehow limiting them. It’s a puzzling point to make if the person truly is bother by seeing what they call negative comments. If you don’t like it just preempt it. Some advocate for removing these people from the site so they don’t have to see it, but ignoring serves the same end result without resulting to heartless moderation. “But you/we can’t do this forever!” I’ve seen the above quote tossed at me by staff and users alike. Current staff will know immediately what I am going to say here in response to us not being able to address this issue ongoing in perpetuity with specific individuals. My response is “Yes. We. Can” ~ Jeric at least monthly It takes a few seconds to hide a post/status/etc. We don’t see these daily, so suggesting that we have some nebulous limit to where we give up is absurd, and almost sounds lazy when considering the context of the effort to intervene. In summary, we aren’t going to be harsh with this approach. We are going to try and limit how often “FML” content shows because many people just prefer a calm atmosphere. And we will not take the path of least resistance with those struggling from mental health disorders.

Didn't know she likes gardening too

WubcakeVA made a massive reference sheet for all the different versions of Sunset. It's pretty impressive, actually.

@Light Blade Aw, so cute!

@Mirage There shall always be love and appreciation for our night princess dearest

@Light Blade It's always good to see her impish humor. She displayed her freedom to laught at herself early on during the chariot of lightening scene in Luna Eclipsed. She had received a second chance at life, and she didn't disappoint! When I saw her 'rebirth' I remember promising myself something about friendship, and after all these years I still hold on to it. I hope that FiM will live long in our hearts to carry it's message to others. Princess if the Night, you gave all ponies a new hope.

zOne more just becasue ...or we just stick to the vector

So, who digged that Luna Moonaro Blofeld bit from Episode 4? I sure did :3 And here's the majestic humanized version. (I hope you are not giving her the reason to be displeased with the direction of your eyes)

Well everypony, I suppose that this is the end of the line. The LAST boops. I just wanted to use this post to take the the time to thank each and every one of you who has supported me, taken the time to get to know me on a personal level, and just make me enjoy myself for the last 28 months of my life. Truly, my time spent here, with all of you has been nothing short of a privilege, and I just can't begin to comprehend that it's finally over. I don't want to go on for too long, I'll probably release a status update at the end of the day which will go into more detail about my feelings for all of this, but for now, let's just enjoy these boops together. And from the bottom of my heart, thank you all so much. (And thank you everypony who's wished me a happy birthday, it means a lot.)

I totally agree with you both, I never post pictures depicting our beloved pony wearing collar. She is not a pet, a kind of toy. Mentally She and other ponies are like humans, they are not worse in any way. They are even better in certain aspects, having a magic, possibility of flying. So today Flutershy pictures without collar.
