Looks like a lot of interest in a forum for
domestic abuse. What do we do to make that happen here?
Original Post
Hi Masimo,
This was a good way to get started.
Actually a while back we had a couple of threads on what people wanted on the forums and possible changes. I've been derailed from doing anything about due to an extremely busy work schedule which is very nearly complete. After I have a chance to catch my breath I was going to re- read everyone's input and try to implement some changes, but I would definitely like a chance to think through the design and what will work. Adding a domestic abuse forum is certainly a possibility. I am just wondering do people want a separate area dedicated to the topic? If so, do they want it open or private? (I am thinking of people's sense of safety in discussing the topic not trying to hide it away, I think this is a very important topic to discuss. However, if someone is worried about an abuser reading, I can understand not wanting the content out on the web. On the other hand, keeping it open and on the web will reach more people. If you don't mind Masimo, I'm going to put up a poll to get people's opinions. Thanks for bringing this up.
