<p>I agree sensitive and tactful, but I don’t think we need to be treating these young adults as children. They need specific information so they can understand how parents think/plan or how the entire college process works. No matter what you post someone and somewhere is going to be offended or feelings hurt. We have a wide spectrum and diverse bunch of people in the forum and the entire college process is stressful for most families. And money is a touchy subject. The moderators can shut down any thread and remove posts. In my opinion this forum runs perfectly and doesn’t need more rules. </p>
<p>Half the county is split on any matter. There is going to be difference of opinion on a lot of posts. Plus if you think someone is not being respectful tell them in a PM or in the thread, but be specific. Others will see this and maybe think before they post. </p>
<p>As for starting your own thread… I don’t mind posts unless its way off topic. Plus if someone thinks the post needs it own thread someone usually makes a comment and that person moves on. Most of the time its a new member who doesn’t really understand the flow of the forums. We don’t need people afraid or second guessing about making threads or comments. Sometimes those questions or posts are the best ones that help many. Most people come here for guidance and advice.</p>
<p>What I am trying to say is if my kid came on the thread looking for help or answers I don’t want the answer sugarcoated.</p>
