    Hello @ellie2000

    What have you experienced? Depending on what the issue it is it may be helpful to share your thoughts on it.

    Hi @ellie2000

    I think venting about your experiences can you useful, sometimes you just need to get your thoughts and feelings out and feel heard. But I think this depends on what is it you are sharing, if you feel comfortable, could you please elaborate?

    Best wishes,
    Fiona :)

    @fiona333 @KBee99 I saw a van had been smashed in on my last town's Community page, and I had a bit of a rant about how unsafe it was and they compared it the town I'm currently in, n I argue. I wrote the stuff tht I experienced which wasnt good, was tht overdoing it?
    I'm happy now

    @ellie2000 I don't think that's overdoing it. I think venting would only be considered an issue in a community chat if it was more personal i.e. if you were sharing lots of personal details about your life that could be considered overwhelming for others to read or triggering. If it's just something minor like about vandalism and it's related to your town/community then you should be okay!

    Hello @ellie2000 I agree with @lunarcat522

    It’s very important to report vandalism in your local community as it allows people who live in the area to be aware what is going on and can help prevent them from vandalising again!
