Hi @pjc1965 ,
3 New means:
- 3 new messages and/or supports you have received.
In terms 'breaking the rules', we have forum guidelines around:
1) RESPECT
2) ANONYMITY
3) SAFETY
You can read more about these guidelines here: https://saneforums.org/t5/help/faqpage/title/community-guidelines
Sometimes, moderators might work with you to help you post in a way that is more comfortable for other people reading.
This is NOT about 'getting you in trouble'. It is about helping you share your experiences in a safe and respectful way. When I was a regular member on these forums, I got these emails from moderators too!
I am glad your NDIS worker has supported you to set up a forums account. It is incredible how far you have come.
I look forward to seeing you around on the forums.
Take care,
tyme

Hi @pjc1965 ,
I've just found the photo. But unfortunately, because of our Anonymity guideline, we can't actually post that image up.
Maybe you can describe your dear friend to us instead? Otherwise, you can post a photo of only your pet.
Here is part of our anonymity guideline. It exists to protect everyone from directly linking you with what you post.

No, you don't have to respond to the email because I've seen your post here now @pjc1965 .
Yes, of course you can post your picture of Lola. You can also post it here if you want.
Click on the camera button:
Then click 'choose files':
Once you find Lola's picture, you can post it 🙂

You can talk about God in this thread Christian Chat - you can click on it to open it.
Another way of sharing about God is:
"In my experience, I have found God helps me" - This is just an example that is ACCEPTABLE. This means you are sharing your experiences.
An example that is NOT ACCEPTABLE is:
"You need to have God. You need to ask God into your life. You have the devil in you." This is what is considered 'opinionated' and others might find it triggering.
Does this make it clearer @pjc1965 ?
