Get a big padlock Bobby. It would have to be with registered only on the door.

Now who the heck would want that save maybe it is a good idea to put medical under lock and key and let the others run free.

But who wants that?


There is no answer to the problem except to moderate but the choice of moderators has to be defined in a more sensible concept then letting members be chosen to do it.

Whether you know the moderators or not it is not difficult to see the problems that it entails.

There is the the fact that a person who has one disease is not as familiar with another disease as they need to be and it is not hard to see that even if they have that disease they don't have upfront firsthand information on it.

It is and always will be clouded by their own condition and treatment plans.

It is not an easy solution that would satisfy all but the only one that I see is outside people that can at best moderate one or two forums only.

If they are professionals then of course that would be best but that is a costly endeavor that no one would want. The time factor of reading them would be such a waste of valuable time.

I have always wondered about those who say they are in the medical field in one capacity or another moderate or visit these sites. How they equate their professional responsibilities and 'talk' to the screen about treatments and help in general is astounding.

Sight unseen they offer advice with no known evidence that the person even exists let alone has the disease in question.

In my mind that same advice from a member is as questionable as any from any practicioner.

It is not sufficient to have the disease to make these profound statements of treatment that I see all over the net.

Perhaps the concept of a medically oriented view of Braintalk is wrong and it is only a chat area and should remain that way.

Am i alone in seeig the danger of where some want this and other sites to go.

If you can gather a measure of help here or elsewhere that of course is good but if you are thinking that all can you are going to be miserably fooled.

People who can not write well will be fooled by those who can and think they are inferior and either leave or heed what the other is saying.

I do not write well and never have unless I take far more time then I am willing to to do it. Hence I ignore a lot of what is said because I haven't made my point and upon review it was not worth making so go on to other things

I am probably doing this now. But my main point is that the problem of moderation is not with the concept that is bad it is the choices of the people who do it that are not well made.

I could go on and on about the subject but I think I have said enough. To go any further I would have to name names and I am not at that point yet.
