The Counseling Forum rules do not nullify any existing Professionalmuscle rules. Additionally, all of the main forum's rules of Professionalmuscle still apply to the Counseling Forum. In addition to the standard forum rules, the following additional rules will apply both forwardly and retroactively as the case may be, inside the Counseling Forum:
1. Since the possibility exists of severe harm to an individual's mental (or other) health, any moderator can, at his or her discretion, temporarily or permanently terminate membership immediately and without warning and without regard to any status of the member.
2. The Counseling Forum should never be used to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. Any posts, threads, or questions related to these actions will be removed or locked. This is not an arguable point and any action on the part of a member to disrupt the forum can have his/her membership revoked temporarily or permanently at the moderators' discretion.
3. Discussing drugs and/or drug-related therapies is prohibited. A member may already be in treatment and/or receiving treatment and such discussion could cause a disruption in treatment and possible irreparable harm to a fellow member. Be extremely cautious in this area. Medications should be discussed with a doctor or other licensed professional only, not in the Counseling Forum.
4. No medical advice will be given in any way whatsoever other than to direct an individual to a professional, and if a professional is not available, to call the nearest emergency response center for emergency care.
5. Be nice to one another. Any responses that contain vitriol or otherwise harsh words or phrases can worsen another member's situation to a great degree. Special care must be taken to be a friend to a member's situation in their time of need. Harsh words and language in the Counseling Forum can result in your membership being temporarily or permanently revoked.
6. Be tolerant at all times. Any posts deemed to be prejudicial or hateful to any gender, race, creed, financial status, religion, sexual orientation, or any other specific group will be deleted immediately and if necessary, possible further action in regards to the offender's membership.
7. Lastly, the counseling forum is not to be used by new members to increase their post count. Any appearance of "post whoring" will not be tolerated, the posts will be removed, and you may be subject to membership suspension or elimination.
These rules have been approved of and by the board administrators and the owner and are not open to debate. We are all here to help one another in a friendly way. Be a friend and feel free to offer friendly advice in regards to another member's predicament. If you feel that the member has asked a question that is beyond the scope of friendly advice, please contact a moderator or direct them to a professional to receive proper treatment
as indicated above.
Summary of rules is simple and direct. Be kind and caring to one another. This forum is to remain a haven for members to come and discuss the ordinary problems of everyday life. In order for a forum of this kind to be successful, an individual must be safe from harsh and hurtful responses from other members. Please be kind and keep each other safe from harm. You have that power. Use it responsibly.
