As a result of feedback about the large numbers of empty posts in the current-events threads for young royals, we're in the process of making some changes to the format and content of these threads.
Since young children don't have many current events, we're dropping the "current events" part of the thread title. Threads for young siblings are being combined so that each thread covers all the children in a family instead of having one thread per child. Children who have very little public exposure and children of minor royals are being included in their parents' threads, which are being renamed as family threads.
We're enforcing our empty-posts rule, "Threads and posts containing information already posted by others will be deleted or merged; empty posts containing irrelevant short exclamations or comments will be deleted," more stringently than we have done in the past. The moderators will be deleting posts saying nothing more than how cute, adorable, pretty, etc, a child is, along with posts asking for photos, thanking people for posting photos, or otherwise not saying anything substantive. The stricter enforcement of the empty-posts rule applies to all threads, not just those about children.
Later this month we'll be adding threads where birthday and anniversary wishes can be posted instead of being posted in the current-events and news threads. Until then, please be restrained in posting birthday and anniversary wishes in the regular threads, since it's rather tiresome to read post after post saying just "happy birthday!"
If anyone has questions or comments about these changes, please feel free to post them here or send them by private message to one of the administrators.
