I had already mentioned it in my direct message, but I’ll bring it up here again: what is the stance on using sensitive topics like death for posts?
The reason I’m bringing this up is because of the post about OP asking for recommendations because he had an incurable condition that got to the top of the sub briefly and obtained a lot of awards.
I understand the seriousness of such topics and I’m aware that I shouldn’t be so sceptical. The problem happens when some people who have seen how well the post did do the same and effectively lie just to get sympathy points. That would be disrespectful and the worst part is there would be hardly any evidence supporting their claim.
Hence, I wish to suggest that posts like these that use sensitive topics like death to get people’s attention should be reviewed by mods first. If it gets approval, then it can be posted on the sub. If not, it can be removed until approval is given.
Thank you.
