Cher,
It may seem rigid how these boards are divided up. Someone mentioning religion here isn't going to get them redirected. But if a discussion ensues that is mainly about religion, yes, it will be redirected. That is because of the history of what has happened with religious discussions--they tend to get very heated very fast. So, a new board focusing on religion/faith seemed to help. Although there are still issues that arise sometimes with the faith board, because it seems easy to slip into saying things that make other people feel put down for their beliefs, etc.
The reason for the separation of the boards has to do with the high volume of posts. It can be very confusing to sort through posts if you are someone looking for medication info and there are a lot of posts that are more social in nature, and vice versa.
Medication does sometimes get talked about here but if it is really about the meds per se, it will get redirected.
I hope the confusion won't scare the "effexor club" off from being part of the PBSocial community!
