    Dangerous .
    What to do about people who constantly give dangerous advice and advice that could very well be deadly to someone?

    Besides reporting and giving disagrees? What else can be done?

    That's about it really, other than posting what would work to refute the bad advice.

    Well I got a reddie for giving someone advice, by someone who was giving thread her bad advice. I gave him a reddie first and he then gave me one ranting and raving. Doesn't matter if I can help this woman get out of a bad relatioship before she is killed, I'd take a hundred reddies. Thanks for starting this thread:)

    I often get yelled at for giving dangerous advice.

    Curlyben's right. I mean, this is a forum where ideas are exchanged. If we filtered out stuff that isn't deemed acceptable, nothing new would be learned.

    I wouldn't have fun or learn anything from an AMHD if it were made of slapshot_ois.

    Hey J9, Slap, and Kat. I took a lovely reddie too. It is only my second one. I can not wait to get more.

    I still can give them right back though especially when someone's life is on the line.

    I agree that sometimes when advice is given its down right dangerous,but I have found it does not go un noticed.
    Someone usually jumps on it,I know I have,and have seen many other regular and new members disagreeing with dangerous advice also.

    For me I RIP it,disagree ( if I can within the rules!) or quote and give my reasons for why I disagree.

    I just don't see how someone could tell a woman to stay in that situation. I don't care how many reddies he gives me or she.. I don't know... :rolleyes:

    Hello your right, if it is dangerous advice that someone will jump on it. I think maybe bad advice should be jumped on more often and more severe depending on the situation.

    I think the only thing you can to is to continue to come back with good advice and give the reddies.
    If enough of us do that, hopefully the OP will get the right message.

    I do not understand how someone could advise a person to stay in an abusive relationship. That is careless and just bad advice

    I think when people post dangerous advice it's up to the people here to address it head on.

    We can't use offensive language, but we can tell them off calmy. As long as there are facts to support our advice... then who could say we were wrong.

    Maybe even some of the moderators could kind of give us some tips.
