> > I am not very familiar with the formulaic approach of deciding upon punitive measures currently being used, i.e. the lengths of time issued for posting blocks. As I understand it, though, there is no differentiation made between the types of infractions and the length of blocks issued. I see this as a major weakness in the administration of the Psycho-Babble website.

I don't know about moderation, but "modern sites" I follow that don't splatter your every secret on Google:e.g. http://thosewithvisualsnow.yuku.com/
Or a typical vBulletin (yes, it costs money) board
Coldplay's main fan site for example
http://www.coldplaying.com/forum/index.php
Punishment ??? Crime???Moderators on these type of boards above typically excise true crap and trolling.
Which by the way even saying the word trolling in an obvious thread could get me a PBC. That's also idiotic in my opinion. An apple is an apple and an orange is an orange.
On at least some vBulletin boards you can edit or erase your entire post if you made errors.
This is not "Law and Order" or the canceled "Kings".
People are here for conversation and help, not to be thwacked on the back of their head for saying f*ck or sh*t or poopoo.
Decorum is fine and good.. I believe in that... people are sensitive, but you can't coddle everyone. That isn't good "therapy", if this is to be person to person therapy.
Respect someone's pain, but provide some help, some things to do, CBT, whatever.
I don't think someone who has experienced psychodynamic therapy has always 100% had "cry days", which are important, dont get me wrong, I have had them.
There's talk of moving forward in life, dealing with what you have, maybe a little CBT thrown in.
Sure if someone comes on here and all they say to every post is f*ck you then just kick them out.
But we don't need to rack up a rap sheet, and have some, in my opinion, idiotic math computation of, well you've hurt someone once in our arcane rules....
...so that's block one week, and you've done it 4 other times, so more, and a little calculus, and you'll "serve your sentence" concurrently so you're blocked from the board for 57 weeks.
I mean pardon my french, I'm expressing my opinion only (see, I have to be demure and cowering to even say something here because I'll be blocked if I don't bite my tongue so hard it bleeds), but WTF ?
I mean even in discussions about the way discussions should be here are filled with blocks. That's going way too far and I can't deal with this blocking much more.
Which is why I leave the forum when I'm blocked, I have a life that I have to grow into, if I am ever to do it... I can't be on here all the time, and I'm not saying anyone else is (here, also, I'm trying to be sensitive to that).
Also I think there is a definite conflict of interest to being a "patient" ("consumer" or whatever you want to call it) and a "deputy" at the same time.
And don't get me started on the concept of "deputy", it sounds like the wild west.
So, there's my take on it, hope I'm not blocked for anything I've said.
Oh, and also applies to babblemail, I think that unless someone is sending a death threat through it, it should be private, completely private and not subject to so much monitoring also.What's the point of anonymous mail ?
And what's with this anti-spam stuff in babblemail, we've already registered here, we don't need to twice register.
Next it will be CAPTCHA anti-spam which is hard to read if you've ever signed up onto a forum or free mail or whatever.
Since we've already registered, the first time someone comes on, then do the anti-spam. Don't need to do it again, that's silly.
Anyhow, all said, that's my stance.If I'm blocked, I'm not interested in reading this board any more, I'm not interested in helping people which is really the sole reason I come here because my disorder is so complicated I've only seen someone with a somatoform disorder once.
Also, and this is my opinion, there is a lot of anti-psychiatry and what I would call questionable discussion out there. (Yes, don't believe all you hear....) I think that should be moved to the alternative board. Clearly alternative therapy was supposed to be there.
I'm sorry, I just roll my eyes when I see discussions on how Vitamin B12 will cure schizophrenia. I pass right on by. I believe in evidence based psychiatry, at least validated by some study.
Also on the topic of studies, there's no need to post entire studies on here, the summary to it could be fine enough..
Well anyhow I've rambled enough.
Over and out
