Removal of recent post

[NicTinnitus]

I’m posting this because we regretfully

had to remove a recent post that implied the need for professional or medical help for a critical situation.

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.

I have contacted the member with

advice and contact details for services that can provide the appropriate level of advice to get through their situation.

I'm sure that you will join me in wishing

them well from the whole community and hope that they can get through this situation as quickly as possible.

If anyone has been affected by the issues from the deleted post, please do feel free to get in touch - you can message me, or email me at [e-mail]

. And thank you to the members who brought this to my attention so I could deal with it promptly on my return to my desk this morning.
