HI, I think Anna's satisfied with the answers she's gotten. I'd like to pick someone's brain about here today's post/request, and I'm asking the views from non administrative side.

Forums Mission Statement
The purpose of the Forums at Psych Central is simple -- it's a small community devoted to support for mental health and relationship issues. In that vein, you should be civil and treat others as you expect to be treated here.

Appropriate Content
This is, first and foremost, a self-help support community. That means if your message (post or PM) is about offering support to another person or asking for it, it's potentially appropriate for our community.

I edited the second quote a bit, please note that. The mission is the purpose and the purpose is what this community is and it is small, and devoting itself to mental health. What we members here do though is offering help and support through communicating with each other, and this is not like general population reading things about heart health or oral health on the internet, by that I mean many member's mental health on PC are quite bad to start with, and they may be looking for help/informations.
I understand that saying to provide support the way it is what we offer, take what you get and there's limit to what we can do from admin sides, I've just got the impression like are we not safe without the guideline? We are not talking about the safety of workplace equipments, it'd be more difficult to measure the safety of human beings. Forum members here are not this unspecified mental health, but the line seems a bit blurry when I read the above two quoted lines, I hope you're following me, think what we post here and go back up to the mission statement, because that's what this forum is and what the admins want this place to be.
I just wanna know what others think.
Before I post this, I wanna mention few unpopular possibly unrelated subjects.
One, regarding the support for mental health. I can't certainly support everything about it, such as botched drug trials shown in the case of Markingson and the CAFÉ study, or possibly dangerous effects of psychotropics some doctors talk about. The core mission might be telling me that it is for (neutral) mental health. It just sounds weird to me so let me know what you think.
Two, psychoanalyzing another member when one wasn't asking for it seemed rude to me. I'm talking about the one on this thread, if you don't see it, then that's that.

It's all in the delivery of the message if it stands with our guidelines or not.

True to some extent, but I know it's more to do with moderator's discretion, because the deliverer can not decide if it meets the guidelines or not as a final judgement, plus future is always uncertain.
Does the guideline make me an honest person? DOUBTFUL!
Hey, I have no ill intent or I'm taking anybody's sides here, just
be honest with me and comment if you feel so...flipped out about this thread like I do.
ETA: I know two members on this thread and they are honest. As for others? “Insufficient data for meaningful answer. ” So please don't kid yourself about being honest.
