Rule 1: No personal health information. Ever.
This forum is public, searchable, and permanently archived. Do not post your own health information here — no diagnoses, medications, test results, or health history — and never anyone else’s. Do not ask for or offer medical advice. If you want to discuss your own situation with peers, use MAIA’s private groups instead.
It’s fine to discuss categories and scenarios, but identifiable, personal health information will be removed by the moderator.
This rule is the project’s thesis in miniature. If a public forum is the wrong place for
your health details, so is every other platform that isn’t governed by
your own policies. Questions about the rule welcome below.
