I raise a motion to create a board where health issues can be discussed.

There was cyber-security board request which is much closer to this forum's niche yet it hasn't been granted yet, health board is too far fetched to be approved.

Already there are too many requests in queue for separate boards and now we have another one. As mentioned already by members on this thread that issues related to health can be discussed on off-topics so we dont need a separate board for health. For health related issues one must rely on doctors and verified literature rather then online forums as its a serious matter.

Because of the look of things, there are many challenges of health facing the world at large, so if a board is created where health issues can be discussed, I am sure those that are always in the forum can know some solutions to their health issues without even seeing a physician because not all health issues require a physical or doctor; some issues need counselling, so I will be glad if there is a board or section where health issues can be discussed.

I'm sure they can use search engine, also there are plenty Reddit subs for similar stuff.

Honestly, health board doesn't belong to this forum, if you like you can always post such stuff in off-topic board.

I don't know how OP connects a forum dedicated to Bitcoin should have a board about health issues, his reasoning just doesn't add up, I don't see the connection, like all the others' opinions here, and visitors will be intrigued and surprised to see a health board in a technology forum.

Bitcointalk is not a place for everything which is why we have an offtopic board so the moderators can transfer topics or discussions that are not suited to the theme of the forum.

I recommend to OP to just use Google and forums dedicated to health, it's not acceptable here, in as much as health forums will not accept topics about Cryptocurrency.

This seems like an extremely bad idea, given the number (or at least loudness) of users here who advocate such dangerous nonsense as drinking bleach to cure people of vaccine microchips or whatever. The complete lack of moderation of said nonsense in the name of "freeze peach" doesn't help either.

It's 1:30 AM approximate here in my country and all the neighbors are sleeping already but I can't help but laugh at this post which I find funny because if I remember there were troll accounts back during the COVID pandemic that we're so vehement about their cures and that the vaccines are killing the population, if memory serves most of it was posted in the P&S board.

Now about what OP is proposing, having a Medical Discussion board kind of defeats the purpose of Bitcointalk Forum and Off-Topic board, this forum's supposed to be about bitcoin and anything cryptocurrency, the altcoins were lucky that they've got a place but if my will is done, I would've removed that discussion. The point is that this forum is all about finance, technology and cryptocurrency and adding that kind of board would make Off-Topic useless, it's in the name already, it's Off-Topic which means that you can discuss anything and everything.

You have a good point but from what I have understood so far in this forum if such board or subforum is created it will easily be compromised by people always seeking for help and to raise funds for them. At this point anyone can easily come to forum to seek for funding to raise help treat their health issues which you and I can't tell who is telling the truth or not, so in my opinion I don't think this would be necessary to create another subforum to me is another way to increase scammers who will be wanting people to always support them and once a single person is helped out you will notice that the subforum will be messed up spamming post, I don't know if anyone has already said this before but, however theymos has the final say if such board is needed or not.

While I understand OP's concern to have a separate board for health related discussions, perhaps that's their niche and they want to flow there, I don't think it's meaningful assuaging that request. It's for something like this that the Off-Topic board exists. The priority of this forum is Bitcoin and its sister discussions. Health is way off. It's a complete different terrain. Except the health discussion is related to Bitcoin and that will be appropriately captured in the Bitcoin Discussion board. I don't see any need for a different board to do that. Again, doing that will open a chapter for lamentations like Adbitco rightly opined with all manners of sob stories springing up and down here. Of course, we should expect that those stories (when they come up) won't all be genuine.

Talking about health related issues is very welcome, as it boarders around general welbeing of users and mental health that can affect gamblers or traders after a lossing run or anything in those lines...

But this being a Bitcoin or cryptocurrency forum might make this an off topic discusion as far as am concerned , and secondly I assume we dont have experts in this field of health to moderate against speculations, falsehoods and the alike. All in all issues of health should be left for health experts to handle away from the forum as this isnt a heath based platform, no hard feelings just my 2cents.

Besides, the very same process new localboards get to be created if they have the numbers, do we have more people talking about health related issues on the forum.. I highly doubt it

You are correct maybe anyone who needs such can easily go the off-topic section as you suggested, there are people who will jeopardize this opportunities except there will be some certain rules and regulations maybe something like account restrictions between newly created account to full members to come post. But this doesn't show that the above rank can't fake their health status but will reduce the rate of spam maybe when a reputable member of the forum post it people will take record and those who knows about them would attest to their health status.

I think health and health-related issues has nothing to do with Bitcoin and that's why it isn't needed to have such boards on the forum. The forum is basically about Bitcoin but as Bitcoin is a crypto-currency and that's why there are some boards for other crypto-currencies as well.

Health is a completely different topic and that's why I believe a board dedicated to health or health related issues won't be a good choice especially for forum like this. Instead of health other technology related boards should be on priority list and in that matter a board related to cyber-security is far better than a board related to health and health issues.

If you want to discuss health issues, you can post on the off topic board. Having a dedicated health board would attract the spammers promoting the destructive pharmaceutical industry. Also it would attract the attention of the Globalists police force who don't want you to know the truth about the misnamed health care industry.

Everyone is just pushing forward his own idea and we have as many of them over the years that nothing had been done over them because not every motion or suggestions rendered will be accepted, some are just being created out of our own emotional feelings or the way we personally think things should go, that is why here is bitcointalk, everyone is eligible to talk his own but not all will be considered important or valuable to implement.
