Health Forum

I don't think people should be penalised if the forum is kept, just simply close/remove the thread with a PM reminding them that they are better suited for different websites.

Removing 'Health' will probably do just as much good though, I'm struggling to think of things that would fall under 'Health' and not be a medical query...

Health, diet and exercise could fall under that and surely they're not medical queries?

It's fine as it is. Nothing wrong with having health threads on there

Diet and exercise = Lifestyle?

I think it's fine as it is if you can't contribute don't post. A good aspect of the forum is people of similar ages that may have had similar health experiences providing advice. I am against removing / forbidding these threads.

no i completely disagree, even if the advice is "go to a doctor" it's still legitimate advice, better that than no help at all. they might not even think it's that serious and need to be told it is. i think it's more important to remove trolling posts such as advice that will do more harm instead of removing or locking the actual thread incase someone really needs advice:S

we can't rule the internet or other people's lives, if someone wants advice on something and doesn't want to go to the doctor then isn't it better we say "definitely go to a doctor" or give other advice? and as for people outwith hxf finding the thread, i'm sure there are a million other threads just the same which they could find similar posts in and thus doesn't matter whether we try to stop people outside from gaining 'harmful' information. if someone doesn't want to go to a doctor, they either need to be persuaded to for their own benefit or given other advice.. if they don't go to a doctor that's their problem and their decision... people may also have experience on how to REDUCE pain and discomfort until they seek medical help. sometimes we're more help than doctors ykno!! not to mention other than that if it's something terminal/serious that's more than "go 2 a doctor lulz" then u can give sympathy and advice on how to be calm stuff like that

FINDING IT HARD TO EXPLAIN MYSELF HERE. but no i completely disagree. this is really stupid.

Besides the obvious point that this will lower forum activity (which is nearly impossible) I think it would be a bit daft since the threads aren't causing anybody harm, aren't pointless (unless they are clearly trolling in which case other forum rules will take care of it) and I think it's generally quite a rare occurrence for someone to abuse that forum. Sometimes people may have problems where they really don't want to go to the doctors and just need the advice from an unknown person which is why I think the forum should stay/no changes should be made. I seem to remember a few months back somebody made a new account to create a thread about them potentially having cancer but being too scared to get it checked out, and although I'm unsure of the outcome, I'm sure the forum members telling them to get it checked was exactly what that person needed to hear... Sometimes being told "go to the doctors" is genuine advice and I don't think we should start prohibiting that.

haha, can't believe I'm agreeing with you

Um I think you need to get a grip. I don't believe for a second that most of the threads are troll threads? :S Some people might feel embarrassed to go to the doctor and might just want to ask a bit of advice. Maybe its people telling them that they need to might give them the courage to actually go and see about it.

Doing this will unnecessarily cause less posts to be created in the health forums.

Could you make HabboxForum more dead, stop removing active forums

No one is saying to remove the forum, the changes that have been suggested is for specific topics not to be talked about / posted as no one is a doctor pretty much.
