I thought that this explicitly means that I am allowed to post asking for clarification on a report of mine that was either looked at or not by an F-Mod. The recent change in Off-Topic to ban political discussions is a decision made by Community Management, not by the Forum Moderators. So, how does asking about this change fall within the realms of Forum Help?
Edit: The reason why I am mentioning this is because my own thread ( RE: Political Discussions ) was locked due to the fact that the ban of political discussions was never up for discussion, as stated by Mod Kari:
So, how is it all right to use Forum Moderation Review or Forum Help for such inquiries but a thread dedicated for it in Website and Forums is not? I'm not complaining about my thread being locked. I'm all right with Mod Kari's decision to lock it as there wasn't anything else to discuss, but I am trying to decipher the logic behind being able to use FMR/FH but not a dedicated thread in Website and Forums? I believe the "clarification" rule in FH is for specific FMod action that was taken, not general forum rules or policies. If an FMod hides a post, or locks a thread, you can ask for clarification on why that action was taken. Of course, keep in mind, it's not an open invitation for a debate in FH on the action that was taken, but more of a "Hey, I don't understand, could you explain a bit better?" situation. I'm better than you, but that doesn't mean you're not great!

"Locking this thread. The change was never up for discussion and it's clear this conversation has run its course."

I'm fully aware of that. I was simply asking because from what I understand, you also added to Twillow's post saying that you are able to post on Forum Help as well regarding the recent change in Off Topic. No, Twillow's post was directly related to the question posed by Brig, which was basically "How was the post political?" after a post was hidden by Lou for being "political". It wasn't a question on the policy, it was a question asking for clarification on that specific action that was taken. I'm better than you, but that doesn't mean you're not great!
