clarification on what constitutes advice
Posted: Fri Jun 01, 2018 1:19 am
Hi,
I recently had a response to my post moderated to remove "advice." The removed content consisted of a link to a Wikipedia article related to what I was struggling with. I can see how an article would be considered advice if it contained specific suggestions for action but this one didn't.
I've also seen things in Jedi Hugs like poetry and essays on concepts related to the person's struggle and I thought that was ok. Same with people telling personal stories related to the situation or offering their interpretation (in a way that doesn't call for specific action). I'm wondering if maybe the moderators could write a clarification of what does and doesn't constitute advice, especially regarding external links. It's not clear to me where the line is.
