It has been a month since I posted and alerted the moderators; I would like to see the administration respond. It is bad enough that food addictions, sex addictions, and other novel concepts are highly controversial; if the administration decided to open a forum for a controversial "diagnosis", I think it should take steps, possibly in the form of a FAQ section, to alleviate the concerns of people who attach those controversial labels to themselves, often in a completely baseless and self-defeating way.

This forum has "BEFORE YOU POST" section with the links to FAQ and help. However, that section, although conspicuous, is not enforceable. I think that a similar section is an absolute must for the sex addictions forum.

Better yet would be to enforce reading faq using the following logic:

if user X tries to post on the sex addictions forum, opening their own thread, the system checks whether X has opened their own threads on the sex addictions forum in the past.

if X is opening their first thread on the sex addictions forum, X is being taken to the FAQ section; this is not a terms of service agreement so a checkbox is not necessary , but just present the FAQ in a coherent, compassionate, objective, and well-informed fashion.

if X has already opened another thread on that forum, X can open more threads without being shown the FAQ.

I hope this is doable.
