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?

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.

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...

I used "Blues Music" for quite a while before it was accepted, though I do not know if it was the result of my efforts or something else.

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.

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.

*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?

Freedom of Speech doesn't apply. That refers to freedom outlined within the Constitution, which prevents governments (Federal or State) from establishing laws that restrict the right to free speech. RP is a private business. People misuse that Freedom of Speech tag all of the time thinking that any RP restrictions on what members can say here on the website are some kind of a restriction of their right to free speech.
Here's a good post about it by SGT Ben Keen.

Freedom of Speech vs. Customer Terms and ConditionsThis is a post I've been wanting to share for some time and the recent events surrounding the attack on the Captial and moves made by other social media platforms has driven me to post this.Let's start with the 1st Amendment and social media. The First Amendment reads that CONGRESS shall not make any LAW respecting an establishment of a religion of its free exercise. It also states that NO LAW...

SFC Jake Middaugh I've had tags removed when the admins thought they didn't apply. It's nothing personal.
