New Policy re Mental Health-Related Posts
We've created a new policy for posts regarding mental health issues in this community.
Copying the changes from our profile page
This community accepts a variety of cognitive styles and welcomes everyone. You are in charge of maintaining your own safety as much as possible. Mental health issues are challenging.
Content notices/warnings/advisories/cues/clues are helpful, but there are also limitations
- the poster must understand what sort of issues need caution
- the readers must recognize what they need to avoid
Therefore: POSTING RULES re Mental Health Issues
These are rules. Err once, you're publicly warned. Err twice, you're banned for two weeks.
Moderator decisions are arbitrary and final.
ETA: These decisions are at the mods' discretion and are final
1. Use very specific titles.
not "Gloomy themes" but "Suicide in RPGs"
2. Start with brief overview
describe topic, what kind of discussion you want, what's your goal
3. Place the entire remaining post under a cut
Ask questions by messaging a mod if needed.
We hope this works for everyone, and we encourage you to comment here.
ETA to change "arbitrary" decision to "discretionary"
