Occasionally discussing unforunate events or asking for advice on something (relationship, argument with a friend, etc.) should be allowed, so long as it isn't brought up to be disruptive. Serious issues that should be brought to a counselor (self-harm, major depression, abuse, etc.) should be forbidden. Thanks for the awesome elaboration. Fixing the policy right now. Hooray! I contributed something to the wiki!

Heres another thing I'm gonna contribute: The rule shoule be written to look like an actual rule, and not just a copy/paste. It looks kinda unprofessional. Here:

Occasionally venting about unfortunate events or asking for advice on things (relationships, argument with a friend/family member, etc.) are acceptable, so long as it isn't brought up to be disruptive or off-putting to others. Major emotional problems (self-harm, abuse, depression/suicide, etc.) should be brought up with a therapist or a real support group, and are best left out of chat.
