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

[Egii Nna]

Greetings, fellow members, and other high-ranking members in this forum.
Today I decided to pass a motion after adequate research for some months in which I discovered that bitcoin talk is not a forum that focuses on only educating each other about bitcoin and other cryptocurrency but also a community that we discussed, which I am sure most of us in this forum spent more time here than in the physical society, so the motion I came with is that why can’t they create a section or board where health and other health-related issues can be discussed?
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. For instance, in gambling, politics and society, economics, and many others, discussions have been made, and with a health board, a better understanding of our health issues can be identified immediately.

 If the need to see a doctor is needed, you can go in time, so all suggestions are welcome.

[EL MOHA]

It wouldn’t be looking as you want but considering the fact that this forum is for bitcoin and cryptocurrency this health talk’s definitely belongs to the off topic board which we already have. I know your next question is probably why the politics and society board, I would say I don’t know either but even the topics on those boards are looking like topics that belongs to Off topic discussion.

If someone should have a health problem I don’t think Bitcointalk will be the place he will actually come to for solutions like the way we see with cryptocurrency discussions here. As such having a separate board for a discussion that doesn’t happens everyday would simply be looking useless. So my best fit is, it belongs to the Off topic board

[JeromeTash]

This is a Bitcoin forum, or at least a forum that has something to do with Finance and economics from a cryptocurrency perspective. So anything that can influence economics and cryptocurrencies like Politics and Society, gambling deserves a board. I have seen so many crypto related casino grow after having some of their promotions in the forum.

If we are to go by your suggestion then we shall have people ask for boards about car talk, Food talk, Housing and Interior design talk etc.

You want to discuss health? There are some health related forums out there like (https://patient.info/forums) that you can sign up to. There you will find many qualified doctors and people with different conditions seeking for help.

For instance, in gambling, politics and society, economics, and many others, discussions have been made, and with a health board, a better understanding of our health issues can be identified immediately.

The discussions on those message boards still kinda relate to Bitcoin, even if just remotely.  I dont get how the "health issues" board relates to BitcoinTalk though.  If you  wanna talk about health things, you can do it in Off-topic where pretty much anything goes.

[Rikafip]

why can’t they create a section or board where health and other health-related issues can be discussed?

First of all, you are free to discuss anything health related in Off-topic section. 2nd, I just browsed through it and I haven't seen a single health related topic on the first few pages meaning there is no real need for something like this.

Child boards are usually created when there are so many threads of the certain topic that they simply dominate the board and since that's obviously not the case, there is no need for one. As simple as that. [/quote]


I raise a motion for this topic to be locked by OP.

[Dr.Bitcoin_Strange]

OP, don't quickly forget that this is a Bitcoin forum, as the name implies, and despite the fact that it's a Bitcoin forum, the developers have tried as best as they could to make it fun for everyone to discuss different topics, including the health you are talking about. There are not even many threads concerning health issues in this community; if not, there might have been a need to add a new board if theymos wants to, but if you want to discuss healthy topics, you can do so on the off-topic board or on your local board. You can start a thread with the title "Thread for all health-related matters" (just my suggestion, though).

[Egii Nna]

What I realize is that almost all of us have another perception of health and other health-related issues. For instance, those who did signature campaigns and other traders always focused on the screens of their phones, tablets, laptops, and computers, which have an effect on the eyes. With a health board, you can understand this and also know some ways and solutions to manage these issues. So, not that I am insisting, but I feel there is a need for that because we can’t focus on making money and forget our health.

If it is Health discussion that is related to bitcoins, then it can be discussed under bitcoin discussion, but if it health talk related to soceity, it can be discussed under Politic and society, if it is strictly health related, Serious discussions and the off-topic board exist for this kind of discussions already. There is no need creating a separate board for it, spammers will only take advantage more of it to make silly low quality comments and create unnecessary topics.

[Foxpup]

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.

[hd49728]

so the motion I came with is that why can’t they create a section or board where health and other health-related issues can be discussed?

During Covid-19 pandemic time especially before a time the world has first emergent approved vaccine for vaccination, forum used to have active discussion about Covid and how to deal with it without any vaccine. You can continue to discuss about it and other health issues but the forum is not a Health, Public Health, Clinical Medicine forum, it's a Bitcoin forum, Bitcointalk.

Discussions about health issues are similar to Politics, can cause spam in the forum. I don't need more topics to feed spammers for their post quota. If you want, you can discuss it in Off-topic board, I am not against this idea.

I remembered one guy here that got shit on for offering prayers for Bitcoin, lol

Can't seem to find that thread now.

-snip-of our health issues can be identified immediately.

 If the need to see a doctor is needed, you can go in time, so all suggestions are welcome.

You have good intentions here but this forum is not comprised of physicians, specialists or some kind of doctors instead this forum is full of crypto experts, enthusiasts, or crypto nerds. They might not want to talk with you or want to suggest some kind of medical issue. Well, even if they want and try to, all they can say, is go for a walk, try not to eat fast food, do physical exercises, maybe join the gym.

These are some basic tips that a person can suggest, but medical issues or talks are so sensitive that many people here do even use GPT and want to fill out for the signature campaigns. In short, they might share wrong information which might look good at the moment but once followed by a patient can cause harm.

You should seek for other forums that are solely for the sake of medical issues and discussions. Where the expertise of the member would be judged or known by seeing some kind of certificate in their profiles.

[Plaguedeath]

You can discuss about health issues in these forums:

1. https://www.talkhealthpartnership.com/forums
2. https://www.studentdoctor.net/
3. https://www.medhelp.org/

You're in a wrong forum if you want to discuss about health but in Bitcoin forum, although you have an option to create a thread in Serious discussion or Off topic sections.

focused on the screens of their phones, tablets, laptops, and computers, which have an effect on the eyes.

Purchase every ergonomic stuffs to help you stay relax and maintain good position, buy anti radiation screen, always exercise your fingers and spend 5 minutes/hour to walk, now what we need to discuss more?

[Dzwaafu11]

, so I will be glad if there is a board or section where health issues can be discussed. For instance, in gambling, politics and society, economics, and many others, discussions have been made, and with a health board, a better understanding of our health issues can be identified immediately.

If you take a look at the boards you mention, you will see that they are all still talking about cryptocurrency-related discussions too. If you look at the economics, you will see that most of the discussions that have been discussed there are all about how cryptocurrency has an impact on our economy, policy, and society. So, it's not that I’m trying to terminate your suggestion, but as others have said earlier, you can discuss this type of thing in the off-topic. Creating a board for health issues discussion will not be of any use. If you want to teach people how they will be able to take care of their health issues, you can create a thread in the off-topic.

Discussions about health issues are similar to Politics, can cause spam in the forum. I don't need more topics to feed spammers for their post quota. If you want, you can discuss it in Off-topic board, I am not against this idea.

I also think the same thing: creating boards will not solve any problem, and people will be spamming there, so the OP can create a thread in the off-topic board if he wants to teach people something about their health. Even though we know his idea is not a bad idea, it’s not as he thinks boards have already filled the forum and every discussion has a specific board, so creating more boards will be as if you are congesting the forum, and we are here for bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.

Your idea is a nice one but I don't think it's necessary. All these sections and board you mentioned are in one or the other linked with bitcoin. For example, talking about politics and Bitcoin, governments are starting to take an interest in Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies and are working to develop regulations and policies around them. On the side of gambling, Bitcoin is often used to fund online gambling since it's a quick and easy way to make payments. It's also a popular option for people who want to gamble anonymously. On the part of economics, Bitcoin is a positive force for the economy since it allows for faster and cheaper transactions and it's a way to store value without relying on traditional financial institutions.

Almost all sections of the forum is related to bitcoin either directly or indirectly including LBs. The off topic is the perfect place to discuss what you are suggesting. By the way, we have other forums that we can discuss heath or related issues, we can not expect Forum to cover everything. It has covered almost thou, take your time to check out some other forums too.

[lovesmayfamilis]

Obviously, OP, you need to change resources to cover the topic that interests you; health forums will just make you happy. In addition, self-medicating on the Internet is tantamount to suicide; if you are somehow close to medicine and are ready to give your advice to someone without directly meeting the person, I can say that you are a bad doctor. Each person with any disease requires an individual approach. On the other hand, if you write that someone (probably you) spends more of their time here on the forum than offline, then first you need medical help.

I've seen "health-related" issues being discussed in politics and society but if you ask me, it'll be for the best to discuss something like that on forums that focus on that topic, Plaguedeath and JeromeTash shared links to health forums, you might want to check those.

[348Judah]

Snipped

Why can't health related issues be discussed on politics and society, economics, local boards or even reputation when it's a personal concern, for the fact that the forum allows other aspects of life to be discussed and assigned board to, does not equally means that everything must be considered having it's own board seperately, very soon you will also discover that someone is suggesting board for food, road animals, welfare and cars, everything can be fit in with the available boards depending on the area of discussion meant or targeted.

[FatFork]

What I realize is that almost all of us have another perception of health and other health-related issues. For instance, those who did signature campaigns and other traders always focused on the screens of their phones, tablets, laptops, and computers, which have an effect on the eyes. With a health board, you can understand this and also know some ways and solutions to manage these issues. So, not that I am insisting, but I feel there is a need for that because we can’t focus on making money and forget our health.

What kind of half-baked argument is that? I get it, staring at screens all day long probably isn't terrific for our eyeballs, but trying to tell us that we need some health board on a bitcoin-related forum because of that? Give me a break. A little thing called common sense goes a long way.

Obviously we should be mindful of our health and all, but let's be a bit more practical about it!
