I hate to suggest a new board, but perhaps the medication board could be left for those posts involving searching into the possibilities medications offer into a general treatment plan, while recognizing and discussing negative side effects.
With another board for posts about quitting medications entirely, the evils of medications, the poisonous ingredients in medications, and the possibilities of medications leading to violence and murder (whether or not it directed towards an identified group of persons).
That, along with perhaps a bit of administrating along already existing rules on accusing others, would probably solve the current problem.
So that the current board could still be used to discuss negative experiences with medications, in the context of the conversation, but with the idea that medication is still considered an alternative.
It would sort of be like keeping the faith board for those who aren't anti-faith, while still allowing for the anger and confusion of those who are legitimately exploring faith as a possibility in their lives.
After all, wasn't that why you originally established the medication board? To allow those who were seeking answers about medications from others using those medications a place to do so? At a time when doctors were still denying that SSRI's caused sexual dysfunction?
I think that function may be compromised by the large number of posts that are anti medication, and that aren't really written by users of psychiatric medications or those who are seeking information with the idea of using them in the future.
Yet, this would also be in keeping with your newest philosophy on board management. It would be the separation of two philosophical viewpoints so that each could discuss it freely.
