I would hope it was a team decision...
I think if the reason was the content then it should have been made clear a lot earlier - I even ran some of the more 'close to the bone' jokes past mods before I posted. There was no pornographic content or graphic images. If a young person read the posts and understood them then no harm done in IMHO.
I can assure you in terms of child protection and internet safety there were no issues ...if that was what the team is worried about check out CEOPs guidance - www.ceop.gov.uk
To let it run for three months and then decide to pull it seems a bit off to me...I just wanted to highlight the fact that there was zero discussion or reason given - appreciate your responses
