My Support Forums - View Single Post - All public forums are to follow the general guidelines, right?

I'm wondering.
I know there are social groups here, hey I have a few myself. But one of the ones I began is private. I made it that way so the casual reader/member won't be in shock by what some "professional" might express regarding their own feelings or self care...as well as other confidential type things. That's a private social group. We still hold to basic guidelines of being civil, giving support etc.

But there are social groups that are public to read. And I wonder why they are able to post things that slant against/bash a group of people, readers, here and say all manner of ill will or untruth (their own opinions) when it's a public forum.

Shouldn't they take their forums private if they want to share and embrace those sentiments?

Just wondering what the guidelines call for in those particular cases.
