Over 25s guideline

I have realised a lot of users aren’t aware of the new changes of the over 25s rule and it was known by regular users that over 25s can stay if a few years over and they wasn’t that strict on it. And we also got told that they would make a post about this if this was to change with the new merge - the post hasn’t been made and no one’s been made aware well maybe just me cause I turn 26

So I just wanted to make others aware as I’ve always known it how everyone else has and ngl it felt slightly unfair to feel pushed out when we haven’t been made aware. It is what it is and understand. It would of just been nice to have a notice rather than feel like it’s just for me or something soo incase comes to shock for anyone else and think only for you (unless it is only me?)

“And when they look at you, they won't see everything you've been through. They won't see the **** that turned to scars that began to fade with time. They won't see the heartbreaking things that shook up and changed your entire world. They won't know how many tears you cried or even what it was you were crying about. They won't see how strong you had to be because you had no other choice. What they will see though is how compassionate you are because you experienced pain. What they will see is how kind you are because you experienced how cruel the world is. What they will see is how good you are because you've seen how bad things or people can be. The difference between you and your experiences are who you choose to be, despite everything that could have turned you cold and unkind.You are the good the world needs and the best of us.” ~ Kirsten Corley

    Seconded. I’m 22 so outwith the scope of this just now, but I feel it has changed without much information.

    Edit: by that I mean that many over 25s who I greatly respect, and who have grown to be my friends, have left recently and not through their own choice.

    For reference, I’m going to link the current (as far as we know) guidance for over 25s. https://community.themix.org.uk/discussion/3598388/what-if-im-over-25

    And if this must change for whatever reason, I feel it really must be announced to us and that we are given detailed information, with the same level of detail as the post above, and the same level of open discussion.
