[QUOTE="tiredmommy, post: 609551, member: 1722"] As a moderator, I can say that I feel it would not be a good idea to close reading to members only. I imagine that my initial experience with this forum is pretty typical. I was searching online to figure out my child's issues. What I found when I landed here was understanding, guidance and support. I would not have registered that night in order to read because I would have moved down the list displayed by my search engine. The fact that our site can be read by anyone with a internet connection is why we encourage members to be extremely careful about potentially identifiable information. As for those members that wish that their location not be known: I implore our other members to respect their decision as you would like your decisions respected. Many other cultures around the world take an extremely hard line against mental illness and behavior disorders, they are viewed as personal failings of not only the patient but the entire family. To be "outed" as mentally ill in these cultures can have devastating effects. As always, we ask that members use the report button to let the moderator group know when there is a problem with a post or member so that we can address the situation. I also ask that members please review our house rules for a refresher on how we are to conduct ourselves here.
