Why does RP restrict & prevent the topic of "Woke" here on RP?

2021-07-20T16:50:16-04:00

Fellow RP brothers and sisters,

Today I tried to add another hashtag/topic "Woke" a post - but surprisingly, this was not a topic in RP... So (using a RP function on the RP app) I added this new topic.
But, it appears that RP took this topic off of my post here. Why???
What do all you RP users think?

My guess would be that RP believes the word and topic of "woke" is sensitive in nature with today's language and could possibly lead to inflammatory comments and posts.

SFC Jake Middaugh, as far as I know, you can add a new topic, but the system doesn't accept that requests right away. I have been using the topic for "Planet Mars" for my NASA and Space Posts (along with a few other connected topics), and as yet they have not accepted this new topic... So from what I can see, you alone are not being restricted, it is a standardized software inclusion that I have seen for the last two years, at least... You might try to add Psychology or something similar that is already in their system...

SFC Jake Middaugh No one has removed your "Woke" Tag. It is still there, but it is not a formal tag because not enough people have used this tag. You also added "Cancel Culture" as a tag which is also not a formal tag. Below is more information.

As a 1 Star Admin, I can edit tags when/if needed. I just took a look at all of your tags with the "edit tags" option I can choose. It is there. Since it has not been used enough to make it an official tag, it will not be visible to the general public. The same goes for your "cancel-culture" tag.

*UPDATE*
When this was posted (see attachment), only two topics were showing in the first post (freedom of speech & Rally Point) - and the other two ( that I also added in the initial post) were woke & cancel culture, but these two did not show on the first post...

But now that I look at the post again (a few hrs later), there is only one topic now that is showing " RallyPoint".
So this means that even the topic freedom of speech was manually removed later.... Hmmmm?
