Sounds like there is a story here. Anyone want to fill the rest of us in?

Nathan was given her own thread - I believe her thread is the only thread she is allowed to initiate on WoV

Good work---that took me a few seconds to process! Benefits of classical education!

Why?

The quick and dirty:

There was a controversy over Nathan's actual sex at birth which caused quite a number of arguments on WoV -- then, she began making threads which might have technically violated the forum rules - in exchange for never again starting a thread, she was granted a special dispensation to have her very own thread in which to post ideas that she previously would have made a new thread about

I think the sex thing was more just that she uses a male handle. Not like a certain poster intent on getting themselves banned from here forever. Just a female using a male handle. I am not sure if the threads violated rules per se, but some members got tired of too high a new thread/post ratio and many of the threads went nowhere. Thus the compromise of a "special" thread, which ironically soon had among the most traffic.

FWIW, I just use the "block thread" feature. Happy to have some new blood here. Given that since the sale WoV is supposed to be about Vegas Life and Trump Hate this site may be a better fit for someone who likes random discussions.

Thanks for the edits - I knew I was on the right track but the details escaped me -- signs of age

Will Nathan be given her own thread here as well?

Anybody can have his/her own corner, although that is what the blogs were meant to be for. In Nathan's case, it was somewhat necessary.

The part about starting too many threads is true as well as derailing other threads. Her gender was not important in my eyes. She can also start new threads, but requires admin approval.

Here, Nathan has a totally clean slate with no special rules or conditions.
