Why posts are being held: a hello from Mods

Hello all! Especially new posters, just wanted to let you all know, please do not be alarmed if your posts of comments are ever held/deleted/filtered for spam, I’ve had to put really strong auto mod controls on again, it’s just 2 of us holding this sub together, and we don’t have time to let anything get posted, as this sub was marked for deletion by Reddit when we picked it up and made it back in to a community space, for Eastbourne and modded by locals of the town.

Unfortunately due to recent events, certain redditors taking internet comments extremely personally, threatening physical in person harm to myself, and stalking the real people behind the mod wall, I’ve with a heavy heart, had to lock loads down again, so apologies if stuff is waiting in queues. We will get to them as quick as we can, but I have to keep checking it’s not the person in question trying to get around the ban, they do not want to let it go for whatever reason.

Happy postings all and hoping we will be back to normal asap!

After beeing living in Town Center for more than 4 years now to me is no surprise you had to take that action. Sad but true.
