Introducing a new rule for mental health topics.
Hello everyone!
Now and then we're having posts asking about help with mental health, depression, suicidal thoughts, bipolar or Borderline disorders, eating disorders &c. While we the mod team certainly sympathize with people in need and looking for help we are also very aware of what this subreddit and the people in here can provide and what we can not. This subreddit is not a suitable platform to help people with mental health and their relatives and friends. You should assume that people here are not qualified to assist with mental health, provide psychotherapy or similar. Even if there might be someone here who is, Reddit and other social network platforms on the internet are very unsuitable in establishing a patient-doctor relationship.
Therefore we will establish a rule #5: No posts seeking help with mental health. While we do respect individual beliefs regarding using Magick to address these topics, we do not feel like this subreddit is the appropriate venue for it. So if we find a post dealing with one of these topics we will have u/automoderator filter it out for manual mod review as well as make a comment linking to resources were people can find help, like mental emergency and suicide helplines.
Thanks for your understanding on behalf of the mod team.
