Rule 13: the last nail in NAS's coffin?

Hi online community users,

Thankyou for your post and comments on this thread. 

Peer support is encouraged on this platform but as the rule states, users should not provide legal or medical advice. If you are unsure whether your  advice is legal or medical, please do get in touch with our moderation team by emailing communitymanager@nas.org.uk .

Moderators may remove posts that break any of the community rules (https://community.autism.org.uk/p/rules), without prior warning. However, often the approach is to post a rules reminder in the thread and contact the user directly. Banning members is something we try to avoid where possible although sometimes users will be placed into moderation for a set period of time.

We hope this provides some reassurance, please do get in touch at the email address mentioned if you have further questions.

Kind regards,

Clare Mod

Respectfully that's as clear as mud. Define the difference between peer support and advice please.

And the suggestion that people concerned should contact a mod is totally unrealistic given the average turn around time on that is about 24 hours sometimes more.

I think maybe together we can find a useful way to stick to the rules and write with prudence on some topics.

You have the decidedly greater experience of seniority compared to me who have been here for a very short time.

It's not okay to ask to delay a post by 24 hours, ok.

But a useful way to write better being in the forum is can propose.

Maybe by opening a special thread only on suggestions on what seems wrong or not very functional to you.


My feeling is that by copying some regulations of important Italian forums, additional rules can be avoided.

I write to copy some rules to avoid having to rewrite regulations from scratch or change them into additional rules.

I think we can vote for the best ones if we want to make a new regulation that appeals to the majority of us.

Maybe one thing can give a sense of annoyance: these are the impositions.


But what if we shared a guideline on how to orient ourselves to write freely while maintaining impeccable ethics?

I find myself writing about topics that we would not be discussing.

As you would immediately receive a recall.
Or a ban .

What I may have understood from my poor English is that we should be careful not to infer specific medical and legal spheres.

I am also displaced because here it has not been discussed as an argument.

One tends to write in a very aseptic way.

Here in a way that I find more empathetic than us.

By signing up here I noticed that you are much more empathetic and emotional than us.

I find it important.

In general, I read you and perceive that you direct a lot of heart and feelings with respect to us.

Our forums are colder, I don't know how to explain it.

I would say you only really need to exclude trolls or indeed closing entire form to deal with trolls when there’s a lot of them and they’re all working together. My point is that’s not the situation here. It’s not the situation in the other forum I’ve set up either.

however if a habbo hotel situation occurred that made self policing unrealistic the mods here would be as powerless as I would be on my forum. That was my point.
