DR. Hsiung,
I am requesting that you establish a way to indicate that you, or perhaps the entire psychiatric profession, do not endorse what is being posted by a poster. I suggest that a symbol by you be put after the post to indicate that youdo not endorse what is posted. Something like,{~endrs} after the post.
I feel that if the notation is made on the medicine issues board,(psycho babble)in some way, that other posters could have the opportunity to modify their post or enable them to know if what another poster is writing about is acceptable or not to the psychiatric or psycho-babble community.
This could also be done on the faith board. One could write something about their religion and it could be not endorsed by you. I feel that it is my opinion that does not mean that whatthey are writing about should be sanctioned. In this suggestion of mine, you could put some type of symbol after the post to indicate that what is posted is not endorsed by the forum, but is solely the beliefe of the poster.
On the social board, one could write what you consider to be not endorsed by the community, but they could still post it. Things such as language and such, questionable jokes, questionable activities.
There is a program software with little funny faces that can be posted. Perhaps instead of something like {~endrs} after the post, a funny face of unacceptance could be posted after the post by you to indicate that the forum does not endorse what is posted.
