I suggest allowing people to post anonymously, ie not required to be logged in.

Anyway, great idea.

Great addition to the forums. Ill be sure to check out the interesting posts.

@blindkilla, I do not think that would be ideal as people would spam/post irrelevant things

Hi guys. I've decided to add a Personal Support & Assistance Forum as an Off-Topic subforum. Throughout the time I've been here, there have always been a number of threads in General Discussion requesting such help, but there hasn't ever really been a forum for them to be posted in.

After the death of Shawn_, an ex-Global Moderator and friend of mine, I think it is a nice idea to continue his idea, as he, and I'm sure many others on the site, probably have limited people around them in person to discuss their problems with and seek advice. I think one of the main reasons Shawn chose to end his life is because he felt no one understood him and because no one took an interest in his issues. No one should feel that such drastic action is necessary simply because there appears to be no one to listen. This forum allows people to 'vent' and gives other members an opportunity to respond, particularly if they can offer advice or relate themselves to the outlined issue. Whilst obviously this is the Internet, there is a certain degree of discretion where you can candidly share your problems with relative (but by no means guaranteed) anonymity that you may not enjoy in person.

I think this is a pretty good idea, as long as the mods in there handle themselves very maturely. I would also suggest being more generous in giving out infractions there, since the issues will be on a more serious level and should tolerate less insults/spam/trolling etc.

I agree, anonymous posting would be nice. We could always have it so threads need to be approved before they can be seen.

Great idea! Looking forward to posting and helping the community with their problems.

Exactly what I was going to say, and what many people forewarned Finn about... you'd think people had better things to do :/
