I don't actually have anything to do with how the board is run, and it's not really my opinion that things like that should be censored, to be clear.

I was just explaining- from my point of view- how I understood that it made sense.

I don't think we should be cutting off people when they are upset, nor do I feel you should be given special privilege to make the kind of post in question because you have been here longer... but that's a whole other can 'o worms- it's not my project, I'm not staff, so it's not like I have any say in policy.

I was just trying to explain from the point of view where it might make sense to implement something like that.

For reference and clarification, this is actually where it was specifically addressed by DocJohn:

Ultimately, as it says at the end of that post, the result has been: "All future "I'm leaving" posts that have not been approved by me will be removed; the guidelines will be updated to reflect this change."

Uncertain if this policy has changed- though I had trouble actually finding specific reference to it in community guidelines. I just remember reading that post by DocJohn before.
