Or, perhaps only limit it to saying, "I self injured today, and here is why." Then we would leave out the method. What do you think?

> ElleIt's an interesting idea. I'd love to see research, too. And I hope people who SI don't feel their issues have been dismissed if a board like this doesn't get added. I guess my concerns are:
1. "Contagion".
2. If the goal is to protect people from posts that might trigger them, couldn't those posts just have a warning in the subject line? Would posts on the new board need warnings like that, anyway?
3. It might restrict how much support people who SI get, since there are people who go to other boards that might not go to that board.
4. Rules are a can of worms. People tend not to like them, and it can be hard to spell them out...
