That's interesting, the whole opening post has been edited to remove the content, there must have been something in there that violated their privacy.
Etsy *can* edit posts. Wish they would do this for some of the calling out posts.

I noticed that too... I was still trying to figure out if the OP really posted that or if Admin actually went in and edited it.

(But I think we all know the answer to that one.)

I remember the thread, it did have content in it originally. It was describing her relationship to Kate Goslin (sp?) and their trip to the Oprah show, etc. I don't recall all the details, it didn't stand out to me at the time having any obvious privacy issues like their home phone number or something.

I remember this one, the OP asked admin to edit it because of her and Kate's relationship. I felt so sad for the OP ~ all she wanted to do was spread the news.

By why edit only the first post and not just delete the whole thread? You can still obviously tell that the OP is this woman's sister.

Unless there was something particularly upsetting in the OP that I'm forgetting...

Weird. I remember this thread. The opening post was no more revealing than the TV show itself. If it had been, I would think they would have removed the entire thread instead of just editing the opening post.

Yeah I don't remember anything being in the OP that wasn't also on the TV show, but maybe that user was getting a bunch of weird celeb-stalker convos or something. Who knows.
This kind of editing isn't a big deal to me, it's not about anything important like Etsy policy or whatever.

odd... the deleting of the original content i mean.

but really, you have to expect that SOME people will have strong opinions about people taking a bazillion drugs to have too many babies. grow a thicker skin if it offends you that people have different thoughts than you.
