I was on at the time and responded to the person who posted the survey. She had just joined and has hew own psych issues (anxiety and depression) as well as children with several different issues (tourettes, OCD, etc).

She identified herself as a psych student and asked for volunteers to respond to her survey which was in an attachment.

I looked at the survey to see what it was like. It was questions posed to an observer of a student, presumably a troubled student, about their behaviors being observed, social skills, and what they might be in need of to help them.

This was the poster's first post, so I copied and pasted the community guidelines so she could understand why her post/survey weren't being well received.

I also exchanged several PM's with her.

She was apologetic and didn't realize that research was not welcome or permitted.

She had intended to be a participating member at the outset but decided to leave. I tried to persuage her to stay. We all goof sometimes. It's okay.

It began and ended in an hour's time or less. The post was deleted, and I don't know by whom.

That's all I know. It was a difficult thing to see someone be triggered and understandably so, but also seeing that the person who triggered did so in innocent ignorance and without ill intention. One might argue that she should have read the community rules better, but heck even I don't know all the rules and I've been here over a year.

Just a sad situation.
