# Why was my anonymous post declined?
## Anonymous posts are only for questions that are highly sensitive and it is understandable why the poster wouldn't want to be identified.
We will only approve posts that truly need to be anonymous. With thousands of members in our online community, we receive a huge number of anonymous post requests, so we do need to be selective about the posts that we choose to publish.
We will only approve posts that are sensitive in nature (for example, early pregnancy, mental illness, financial advice, relationship issues), but not the ones that contain information that most of us that most of us have to deal with (such as toilet training, child sleep issues, photographer recommendations).
We will not post any medical questions that can be answered by a discussion with your GP. If in doubt, ALWAYS see a doctor.
We won't approve anonymous posts if you just want to criticise someone or something, to vent, or if you're just feeling a bit shy.
