Thanks everyone for your input on this thread.

Please know that we don't arbitrarily make a guideline. When a guideline is created, it is because there is a need for it. It is not supportive to see a member post a goodbye post. These members are more than welcome to pm their friends to let them know their decision to leave. There are as many reasons for members to leave as there are medications.

We allow members to post that they are "taking a break". In this case, the member is not leaving permanently, but wants others to know they may not be around for a bit or as much.

Members who leave PC, that have been in good standing and are not banned are allowed to come back to PC either with the same username or a different one. Of course there are times when it's easy to figure out who the new member is. Again, reasons for doing this can be as many as all the different meds there are. To assume things without having all the facts does yourself a disservice and the other member as well.

At this time, I'm going to close this thread. Of course, if you see posts/threads out there that you think or feel are against guidelines, please, report them or pm a mod/admin. We will always look into them.

With Care,
sabby
