Removal of a recent post

[UliHU]

I’m posting this because we regretfully had to remove a recent post that implied the need for professional or medical help. Although an incredible level of support and advice exists in this community it is anonymous, online and not professional in nature. In a critical situation anonymous, online advice carries the risk of misjudgement and harm, however well intentioned. We have to stick to our rule of taking down this type of post for safety’s sake.

We have contacted the member with advice and contact details for services that can provide the appropriate level of advice to get through their situation. From the bottom of our heart we wish them well from the whole community and hope that they can get through this situation as quickly as possible.

Ok. I understand.

I am writing to you because l am utterly and totally appalled that users of this site are NOT made aware of the NHS monitoring and intervention of users content. This should be made extremely clear to all users across all sites. People would not feel able to speak so openly l understand but it is absolutely going against all Data Protection to run an entire Website without making ALL users aware of who has access to their data. I loved several areas of this WHOLE website, and l am talking about the areas that referred specifically to my health conditions. I believe l was becoming a popular member however l have no choice other than to leave, as others would if they knew the truth.
