Taking a worry off the wall.

Anyone can ask for a worry to come off. Nothing here is attached to a name, so nobody can prove who wrote one and nobody is asked to. We read the words instead, and the words decide.

What comes off

A worry comes off the wall when either of these is true.

• It identifies a specific real person other than whoever wrote it. A full name. A first name together with an employer, a school, a place or a handle. An email address, a phone number or a handle, on its own.
• It is something the site should have stopped before it was sized: a crisis, harm meant toward another person, abuse, a slur, spam, a test string, an attempt at injection.

What stays up

• A first name or a role on its own. “My manager Dave” stays up, including when Dave asks: a stranger cannot tell which Dave it is, and taking every first name off the wall would take most worries about other people with it.
• A public figure named for something they did in public.
• A company, a brand or a product.
• Disagreement with a number. There is no way to argue with a score here, only to say you have it too.
• Disliking it.

How to ask

takedown@tuesdayproblem.com

Send the link to the worry, or the day it was sized and the worry's own words. That is everything we need. You do not have to say who you are, and it would not change the answer.

Every request is answered in three days or less, with removed or not removed and the part of this page that applied.

How many people ask changes nothing. Ten requests about a worry that stays up leave it up.

Erasing one instead

A request to erase personal data gets the whole thing deleted rather than taken down: the worry, its card, and any address kept with it. Say so in the message.

What a takedown does

The worry leaves the wall, its card is deleted, and its link stops showing it. The day's number does not move, because it already counts worries that never went on the wall. Whoever wrote it keeps their emails and their own delete link.
