As some of our members have the posts forwarded immediately, we cannot stop everybody from getting inappropriate messages. We also do not monitor the boards 24/7 so some messages will be posted without our knowledge for a period of time.
We also understand that all of us are a various stages in our recovery, and what someone needs to post, others may find inappropriate. Tolerance, acceptance and understanding.
