[Suggestion] Advice Section

[Akeno Aurilite]

While there aren't many issues on the Base, I believe that it is still the responsibility of any forum to look after the emotional well-being of its members. An advice column could be used to tackle issues ranging from relationship problems to even attempts at suicide. I feel that the Question section is inadequate when categorizing these issues and that users may feel more comfortable about expressing their feelings if a dedicated section was created.

If an adequate section does already exist then please disregard this although I would like to know where it is located.

Yesh I agree

just put it in General Discussion or Chatterbox.... no need to make such a section on Manga/anime forum. If you need help go to a site that specifies in that or just put your problems in General Discussions or Chatterbox

Um okay

I don't think it's the responsibility of a manga site to help members with problems. People with problems better talk about it to qualified people or their friends or family.
Most of those threads attract trolls which doesn't help the person at all :/

I'm pretty sure General Discussion suffices

It's possible to make a sub-forum of it in General discussion but I don't think it is required.

General Discussion does not suffice unfortuneantly. Do not shirk off an important duty by labeling this site as just a manga and anime forum. The forum itself is incredibly large and many people frequent it. No matter how small, a member should be able to seek proper advice on a public discussion forum that they are comfortable in.

Regarding the commonly used argument of talking to others: It is sometimes best if one seeks advice from complete strangers. This is why many people go to see a therapist. The main reason a person may see one is that they are able to offer an unbiased opinion and advice towards the person. Strangers are able to fill the same role.

The Internet in all its glory is still not the perfect answer for everything and that includes Emotional problems or real life serious issues. Regardless of the intentions, you won't get better help than those of your real life friends and family. Its impossible to control who is behind each computer screen replying and typing and as such, its impossible to produce a safe enough place for such discussions.

If you have a real life, emotional or sentimental issue you should seek real help from friends or family, not from the internet. People can easily take advantage of such situations for their own purpose and there are many who have great experience in doing so.

So sorry, but such a section wouldn't bring any good to the community.
