https://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=69538

It certainly mentions the following three bulletpoints:

- Comment on entries or journals
- Journal Moderation(Like Post and Thread Moderation)
- Entry Moderation(Like Post and Thread Moderation)

So one would think that there's some answers in there, but I don't have much of an idea of how one would go about actually changing it.

Whoa! This is some old tech.

Even now, barely a month after my brother died, my mother still regularly links me to autism-related pseudo science websites which essentially paint autistic kids as a curse that needs to be "cured" (much like the Autism Speaks people). She still believes all of that nonsense. She thinks that if he hadn't been autistic then he wouldn't have died somehow. (???) That it was a terrible and tragic curse, essentially. She infantilized him in ways. Of course she never mistreated him, but she has always bought into all those harmful notions and nonsensical theories which suggest that ~EMF fields and gluten and whatever "worsen autism" or even cause it. For 26 years she has refused to listen to reason. (Of course, she's grieving, and I can't pretend to understand what a loss of a child feels like-- as opposed to the loss of a sibling--so it's difficult to necessarily hold any of this against her at this very moment, but I am so tired. This attitude toward autism is so, so common and absolutely none of them listen ever. It breaks my heart.)

I'm really sorry, Chio. Some people seem to be just like that no matter what you do or how you debunk the "theories" they cling to. My sister (not the one I live with) has two grandchildren who are both autistic, and their mother (her daughter, of course) is far more advanced in her acceptance and treatment of them. Eat some trashy food, watch a trashy movie and just chill. Some things aren't worth getting yourself upset over for nothing, especially when there's nothing you can do to change the situation.

I hate when people spout out some pseudo-science mystic bull**** then tell me I'm closed minded for thinking it's mystic bull****. No. I'm completely open to it being real if you can ****ing justify it being real, but other wise it's YOU who's too closed minded to ever accept the fact that your pseudo-science mystic bull**** might just be complete bull****.

I'll be open to anything if you give me credible evidence.

I hate it when people write "other wise" instead of "otherwise".

Yeah, that's a whole nother thing though. What about "Include me out?"

And just like that, the idea for a thread is born. Don't you wish now that I had left?

Dumb mother****ers who are leaving Facebook after getting all huffy because they didn't know how Facebook worked turned out to be a big part of my target audience and now my ads are expensive as ****. Facebook is probably tweaking their system too. **** sucks.
