I think the headings for each forum make it pretty clear who they are intended for. The more general forums could be kept public, but the others such as abuse, psychotherapy, emotions etc which have sensitive information could require registration to view in full.
I love that i can come here and really speak to people who are going thru the same as me, but i want to vomit when i think just anyone can read and potentially recognise me. I do censor any information that could reveal who i am but it's a difficult balance between being honest about how i feel and not revealing too much ya know?
