Friends,
It is written here,[...what actions do you think..be taken..some people..believe..medical infomation approved by the administrator of this site...?].
Any infomation offered here in a very broad sense could be considered IMO to be medical infomation by the overiding nature that this is a site for support and education involving mental health issues.
There could be direct medical posts about drugs and treatments, there could be medical infomation relative to psychiatric/psychological aspects or even the other boards such as the faith board or the eating board and the other boards which could be considered IMO to be part of the whole in mental health issues.
One way that infomation offered that could be considered to be false or misleading or have the potential to cause harm if the statement is followed, is for the forum to have the a symbol placed next to the statement in question that could cause harm and such. A hand with an open palm indicating to halt is one of my suggestions. That symbol could be made known to the forum to mean that what is posted there is not something that the medical profession endorses, so that caution is indicated. I think that Dr. Hsiung could do this himself and by having the {report this post feature} used by members that question the authority of the statement(s) in question. Another way would be for others to be allowed to post that they do not think that what is posted is what they believe to be true, personally to them, and be allowed to offer their perspective in the thread. If this sounds unusual, I could email to clarify this if you would like.
Another way could be that DR. Hsiung and also the deputies not be permitted to play a role in {developing} a topic. This could mean IMO that they could not >innitiate< a topic, or {advance} an idea presented. They would have a neutrality function. This could mean that they possibly could not be posting in any function except as a deputy.
There is much more to this...
Lou
