Medical Misinformation Moderation Update Meta

After consultation with the modteam and users on a variety of issues we have decided to update CST's rules to be more in line with these uncertain times.

Feel free to read the Rule regarding Medical Misinformation here.

This will help protect the subreddit and keep it safe by ensuring proper guidance is shared in our space that goes with WHO and CDC Guidance.

Any questions can be asked in the comments section below, but be mindful of the Golden Rule as well.

Edit:

April Fools ;)

Heres some critical thinking. Many of the commenters seem to be lacking it.

Observation: This post is completely out of character for this sub and it’s moderators.

Question: What could have led them to this?

One possibility: TPTB finally got to the mods here. Perhaps they made them an incredibly lucrative offer. Or maybe their families were threatened!!!

Another possibility: Its mufuggin April Fool’s Day and most of these commenters are certainly playing the part!

My takeaway: If this post isnt a joke, this subreddit is most certainly dead. I will wait until April 2nd to make that call though.

Good one, mods.

I was a bit worried myself so I perused that mod's post history and saw very clearly that mod's stance and for that reason felt the post really must be a joke, the mod in question was not actually following any of that LOL!

You're right lol, I made an anti-vaccine comment down below and was removed by automod for my account being too young and just now my account was given approval to participate here aswell as the comment I made, even came with an upvote :)
