Happy Thursday to everyone! This is a weekly post announcing our Talk-It-Out Thursdays themed day on the FreeCompliments Community.

## What are Themed Days?

Themed days are topical suggestions for posts. As the FreeCompliments Community account grows to have a more valuable vote, themed posts may get a slightly higher vote percentage in order to encourage posting, yet would still be based on quality.

While the topics are themed on certain days, this does *not* mean that these themes are not permitted on other days. It’s just an incentive to encourage posting! All topics are allowed on all days.

Don’t forget that you have the option to place @hive-140084 (the community account) as a 5% or 10% beneficiary in order to encourage community and member growth. We also give out Ecency Boosts *for quality posts* to help support our members' growth!

## What are Talk-It-Out Thursdays?

One of the key features on this community is the provision of mental and emotional support to those who request or need it. This themed day will serve as an invitation and reminder for people to post their thoughts, concerns, and worries in the community, with the expectation that our members will respond to them in an empathetic and understanding manner, and converse with them about whatever they feel at that moment in time.

The anonymity of the internet provides a channel for people to express themselves in ways that may not normally be possible or comfortable when one’s identity is known. This themed day will provide the opportunity to do so. Naturally, we encourage this on days other than Thursday as well.

In the interest of freedom of speech, for the purpose of this type of post, we will only upvote replies that attempt to be helpful. Those which are genuinely mean-spirited, antagonistic, or unwelcoming will not be upvoted. They will *not* be muted, and instead, we plan to address the people leaving such comments in an empathetic manner - after all, *those leaving such comments may well be the people who need our help the most.*

[I’d refer people to this essential set of guidelines prior to interacting with someone who’s in genuine distress.](https://ecency.com/hive-140084/@freecompliments/some-guidelines-for-approaching-posters)

So that people are aware of the theme, just make sure to title the post with “Talk-It-Out Thursdays” in the title. When other people view the post, this can help them see exactly what this community is all about!

Remember: no illegal content, plagiarism, or blatant spam!
