New Sub-Forum Suggestion! READ & COMMENT PLEASE!?

[Khronos]

Bump!

[jkeithc82]

My only problem with this is that there are very few (if any) people on here qualified to give medical advice (could potentially become a big liability issue). This was my primary objection to the Injuries sub-forum as well.

weather you have this subforum or not, people will come here and ask for advice, and this section will help clean up other sections AND give them a place to ask, so people to not get confused as to where to put their question. I think we could definitely use this section

also, you could put a sticky saying somethign along the lines of "this is no substitute for a doctor and any advice followed is a your own risk and we are not liable for injuries"

As below. Most of the people who answer these threads seriously are fairly sensible. If someone comes in and says I have a *insert ailment*, most peeps usually tell them to go to see a doc if its not obvious what it is. The purpose is not to replace medical advice but to round up all the threads sekking it, and point people in the right direction. most of the threads are about skin care, etc and things that can be answered by members. As I always said, I think the serious rule should be in effect 100% of the time (unless someone makes an OT thread or something)

Yes, a "cover my ass" liability notice would definitely be necessary. There are many places offering health advice which are not officially qualified, but just as in the other sections, those who knew what they were talking about would stand out, as well as those who didnt. it wouldnt all be medical stuff anhyway, I expect mostly day to day helthcare stuff and wellbeing.

F*ck ya

Are you after reds son?

Disclaimer/non medical advice rule could be used, acne etc. has lots of "non-medical" cures for those without serious problems. We could also discuss side effects of accutane for example. I'd be happy to help in this section as far as skin problems goes, I've been pretty much every route there is.

bump, great idea diab.

never thought about that..but another problem is that a big part of the misc's attraction is when people make "serious" or even "normal" threads that backfire on them (when they deserved it). kinda like Hier Kommt's copycat thread :>

then again, it might also detract from the ever rising tide that is the misc. it got to the point to where you either have to be extremely creative/funny or bump like hell to have your thread last a second on the first page.

oh well, reps for at least trying (and maybe succeeding?). best of luck bro!

[V.H.9.8.4.]

lets do this

[NJlifter88]

i think its a good idea simply for the fact that a lot of unsuspecting people ask serious questions like this in the misc and get pummeled with joke responses. that and, people who are familiar with the misc don't even attempt to ask these questions because they know they'll get flamed. i think this sub-forum would be a good place, since it can cover some topics not already covered by any of the current forums.

[V.H.9.8.4.]

yea, the misc doesnt take anything serious unless the (serious) tag is there

[NJlifter88]

lol the (serious) tag doesn't prevent the immature responses though. they just know its true.

although it should prevent those responses

[Sibrek]

good idea in theory but how many people would venture out of the misc into the 'help' section? but i could be wrong

[Diab0lic]

Cheers for all the votes guise!

I posted this same thread in teh misc and it was noticed by the ever-so-lovely Slamdunksam she emailed Ryan about it who thinks it's a great idea!

So now we wait...

Pm'ed Slamdunksam again but no reply....

Lets get some more votes peeps. No matter what you think, please vote!

[Diab0lic]

im not sure why the 'rep betting' sub section was made but im guessing the misc mass emailed him for it

you guys gotta do the same thing for any other section you want

(from another thrad)

Right, you heard the man!

Please email Ryan if you would like to see this section happen. Noone loses out from this happening, even bb.com could sell more supps and even other products that are relevant to our lifestyle

Ryan has already said he thinks its a great idea but is too busy to get round to it

ceo@bodybuilding.com

GO!

Perhaps add in some Alternative Medicine:

Acupunture
Chelation
Essential Oils
Chiropractic
Osteopathy
Kinesiology
Ayurvedic

etc... There are TONS more. those are just what i could think of off the top of my head.

Diabolic, If you want a fuller list, I'd be able to put one together for you.

[cal62887]

Also, Some great references, Books, studies, websites, etc. On Alternative Medicines.

Holistic living is a growing field especially with the cost of health care. It may be nice to hear peoples responses (both postiive and negative) to non-traditional medicines.

Definitely bro! The forum could definitely encompass all such things.

LIke Ive said before this is a win win situation. The forum generates more traffic, these posts get their own forum, the store can sell more supps and people get better quality information.

VOTE! and email Ryan

[cal62887]

VOTE! and email Ryan

Both Are done already

[MetFan]

This thread and the OP get my vote and approval.

I think these ideas are bang on with what this needs.

Ryan needs not advice on how to build a business, but he needs the advice of Mods and Senior Members to continue growth and stability of this site.

The integrity of BB.com is seriously lacking and people are growing increasingly frustrated at the lack of direction being shown.

Please implement these changes and appoint more increased presence in all areas of this site.
