Alexandra,
I can't say for sure what JenStar meant, but I think she is referring to someone conducting publishable research using posts, versus published research in general.In order for research using posts to be acceptable under APA guidelines, I believe there would have to be a specific informed consent. It's been ages since I read the information here before I registered, but I would suspect that a blanket consent would not hold up.
