Like several of the admin/mod team I have  had to hide my introduction thread and signature

 

Being perfectly honest about this, I have never twigged that some others on here, too, have no introduction thread and signature.

Not clear from what you write why one would be exempt from the instructions given to new arrivals to create one.

Any links to explain?  Maybe my employer (and pension funder) would not be happy for me to be on here either.

Peng,

 

I’m part of the moderator staff and that changes things slightly. My posts on the site are mostly fixated around helping and supporting others, so there is less need for my medical history. Members need to complete an introduction thread and signature, so that moderators and indeed other members can quickly assess their situation and provide appropriate guidance. 

 

Whilst I was a member on the site, I had a public introduction thread where I discussed the ins and outs of my SSRI experience and asked for assistance. Once various matters in my personal life are settled, I may well unhide my introduction thread and continue to document more of my journey. 

 

I will not continue answering questions about my background or why I seem to get special treatment. I am a moderator here and I would much prefer to use my time and energy supporting people. 

PLEASE NOTE:  I am not a medical professional.  I can only provide information and make suggestions.

Here's a link for you, Peng: What will get you warned or banned.  Please read this topic carefully.  Being rude to moderators is a good way to get banned.  As I said before, if you don't like the way the site is run, then don't participate.  Stop hassling the mods, we don't have endless patience.
