This is, first and foremost, a self-help support community. That means if your message (post or PM) isn't about offering support to another person or asking for it, it's potentially not appropriate for our community. Community Guidelines: http://forums.psychcentral.com/showthread.php?t=3643

All Community Guidelines apply here. Note: Do NOT enter chat under the influence of alcohol or drugs; members doing so may be immediately suspended without warning or notice. Part of the information posted in the chat lobby: http://chat.psychcentral.com:8080/?0...797675a9&cu=cw

The admonition in the chat lobby warns members of potential consequences should they
enter chat under the influence. I could not find a similar admonition in the Community Guidelines or
Terms of Use pertaining to entering a forum under the influence.
The second part of the initial inquiry asks whether posting under the influence should be permitted. Since the Guidelines and Terms of Use do not explicitly prohibit under-the-influence postings, it would seem all is well provided the Guidelines and Terms of Use currently in place are not breached.
The second part of the original inquiry, however, seems to be tied to the first, whether it is wise to post under the influence. The morality of doing so has been discussed. The concern appears to be, if it is immoral to post under the influence, whether the posts should be permitted?
PsychCentral is a self-help
support community. Perhaps the more pertinent question here is if the post is supportive? If so, in my view, the morality of the poster is best left to his/her conscience.
To those who need stimulants eloquently to impart their superior wisdom for the benefit of members less blessed, I say carry on.
