Flagging Professional Titles!
Hello everyone! I hope you're all doing well 🌟
It has been brought to our attention that some of our safety patrol members are unsure of when to flag professional titles in bios and usernames. This is understandable, it's definitely a grey area -- so, we thought it would be a good idea to make a forum post about it so that any and all questions can be answered. Please feel free to ask questions in this thread, and I'll do my best to answer!
Please keep in mind the following...
Listener Usernames:
We SHOULD FLAG profiles that include the following words in their username:
- "Doctor"
- "Therapist"
- "Counsellor"
- "Nurse"
- "Psychologist"
- "Psychiatrist"
- "Dr"
Listener Bios:
Please note that for any reference to healthcare fields (saying they ARE a doctor, nurse, psychologist, counsellor or therapist etc., anything in the healthcare field), the listener MUST indicate they do not give advice and follow guidelines of the site. If they do not, feel free to send these profiles to a SPOT member, or flag the profile.
*** We DO NOT flag students of any kind. If someone says they're a student nurse, a student studying for a degree in psychology or the like, we DO NOT flag it ***
Our goal is to make sure that we never mislead members to believe that listeners can give professional guidance, advice or feedback.
Please let us know if you have any questions!
(A special thank you to @KindnessMatters2020 for writing basically all of this post 😛💙🌞)
