[QUOTE="SuZir, post: 647334, member: 14557"] Typical child and atypical child, or even troubled child would be slightly more neutral, but those would not make much better search terms than 'difficult child.' However, I still don't understand what is to be gained by having this site full of 'difficult child's? Is it really a go-to search term that will loads of new people here? And are you worried at all, that some of those new people will not dare to write, when they find out that their words are a subject of later altering without asking their permission or against their wishes? We old comers are attached to the board and many people here, so we keep coming back even if that kind of threat sits badly at us. But I do know I would never write a word to any new board I just found, if I find out, that there is the past MO from powers that be, that messages people write there may be changed afterwards by site administration without asking those people. If you find a new board and it has the policy that allows something like that, how can you trust them not to change your words to something you can't agree with, or decide to change the board so that your IP address becomes public or make your private messages public? We who 'know' you for the long time know that you would not do such a thing, but how is a newcomer to know that this is an only type of questionable administration tactic you will use? This time and date people are being increasingly aware the security and privacy risks web causes. And I do know for sure, that if I was to ask advice from anyone about writing to the board, and so personal matters we write here nonetheless, that has history of altering people's messages after they have written them, they all would tell me never to write a word or to register to that kind of board.
