I don't know the whole history as much as other people, but I thought we'd done well to expel all the shits, and make this a fairly 'safe space' but I'll take your word for it that there are still people on this forum that have done/would do such a thing. With that said, it's a no from me at the moment. I don't feel great as it is and the whole whispery talk of the old MH thread and whatever happened pushes me further away on that. Edited December 26, 2021 by Chili Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a nice idea but I’m not keen on having wronguns potentially having my phone number. Fair enough Keith, I genuinely didn't know that, and like I said, I think some of that happened before my time, so apologies. 7 minutes ago, Chili said: With that said, it's a no from me at the moment.

Hope things look up for you soon pal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a public forum. Even anyone who's been banned can read it. And we wouldn't have the problem with returning members we do if we had any real control. As for Paid there's no 'quality control'. If you donate, you get access. Simple as that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chili Posted December 26, 2021 Share Posted December 26, 2021 @SuperBacondon't apologise, its absolutely cool. Just adding my opinion to it. It's ok, hope you are well too x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidB6937 Posted December 26, 2021 Share Posted December 26, 2021 I get the caution. People can be cunts. But people are cunts in "real life" too. At some point you've just got to take a risk and trust someone or else life is pretty shitty. Personally I've probably been screwed over by more people I've met in person than those I met online first. In fact I'd say 95% of my best friends I first talked to online. So yeah be cautious but that goes for anything really. Its always easy to assume the worst of people. Quite right in some circumstances but there are some genuinely decent folk around too.

I sort of take your point, but we're not talking in hypothetical terms here, these are things that have happened in this boards recent history. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Houchen Posted December 26, 2021 Share Posted December 26, 2021 I think it’ll be a great resource for people, I also think I’m too broken to be fixed regarding paranoia and cynicism. I really hope no cunt ruins it for everyone because that really would be a fucking awful thing to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not saying that anything like that would definitely happen, but I'd be cautious to give your mobile number to a group with potential wronguns in it. I urge everyone to read and absorb this post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patiirc Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 Ooh just seen this and whilst a brilliant idea in theory, there's all kinds of issues noted in practice as noted throughout the responses. The one thing not mentioned is that with a WhatsApp or Discord, it's another thing you have to keep up with or can give anxiety through fomo or burnout because you've run out of spoons and is too much. Less is sometimes more. I'd suggest therefore a pinned Mental Health Support Locked Thread with numbers for help and additional websites for help etc.?   Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Houchen Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 I’d suggest Google for numbers and websites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
