| Dec 15, 2018 at 16:44 | comment | added | Carey Gregory Mod | @FranckDernoncourt You last answered a question in 2015. I see that Shog9 (a stackexchange employee) deleted your answers aggressively for being quote-only answers. I suspect he was just trying to put the site on the right course early in its development, but I very much doubt those answers would be deleted today. I also note that you edited your own highest voted answer (+12) down to almost nothing and then deleted it for no apparent reason. Almost four years is a very long time to continue a self-imposed answer ban just because one mod took a strict viewpoint in the early days of the site. | |
| Dec 15, 2018 at 10:37 | comment | added | Franck Dernoncourt | @DoctorWhom also Do we need to explain self-explanatory quotes? | |
| Dec 15, 2018 at 10:34 | comment | added | Franck Dernoncourt | @DoctorWhom I don't write answers on this SE website anymore because some time ago all my answers were deleted because: "Answers that don't include explanations may be removed": in what cases? ; What to do when a question is precisely answered by a Wikipedia page or section?. In many cases I think quotes from studies are enough to answer questions. But mods disagree, even though most of my answers were decently upvoted (e.g. got 3 nice answer badges and 2 enlightened badges). | |
| Dec 15, 2018 at 5:09 | comment | added | DoctorWhom | That isn't an attempt to call you out, by the way!! It's just a sincere curiosity as to your reasons, and a reminder that we could really use help with answers! I would love to participate more myself so I can't criticize anyone else's quantity of contributions. But you have been very involved - just only on the asking end of things - which I don't fully understand. | |
| Dec 15, 2018 at 5:04 | comment | added | DoctorWhom | Which brings up a question I've wondered for a long time @FranckDernoncourt: why do you not participate in answering questions? You've asked 230+ questions, but contributed 0 answers. Your questions are usually well-informed, and you appear to have at least a decent grasp of how to review evidence, so I imagine you could contribute some good answers. We're obviously seriously hurting for answers, and it has been explicitly explained that you don't have to have a degree to contribute, just evidence-based information. Is there another reason you've refrained? | |
| Dec 15, 2018 at 4:57 | comment | added | DoctorWhom | @FranckDernoncourt You have been a part of the community for a long time, and the scope has changed out of necessity. Although some of the original non-professional founders wanted to include advice as in-scope, they did not understand the ethical and legal implications; through time, a number of professional/student participants have helped reshape standards to be safer. Right now we are having to be extra strict because we have so few contributing informed answers. | |
| Dec 14, 2018 at 19:17 | comment | added | Carey Gregory Mod | @FranckDernoncourt Read the top voted answer. And then read an even better answer. | |
| Dec 14, 2018 at 18:16 | comment | added | Franck Dernoncourt | @BryanKrause The thread contains conflicting answers. Do you want me to read the answer "SE agenda is "Questions that can be answered", so as long as those medical questions are answer-oriented question, I'd say it is the place."? | |
| Dec 13, 2018 at 17:40 | comment | added | Bryan Krause Mod | @FranckDernoncourt Please, please, read the meta thread that Carey linked to and has asked that you read, I don't feel like you are digesting it or understanding the importance of not providing medical advice on StackExchange. | |
| Dec 13, 2018 at 17:08 | comment | added | Franck Dernoncourt | @BryanKrause I mean: in the end of the day, medical sciences aim at providing medical advice. | |
| Dec 13, 2018 at 17:06 | comment | added | Bryan Krause Mod | @FranckDernoncourt Probably yes, but that's a bug, not a feature. We close them as soon as possible. | |
| Dec 13, 2018 at 16:31 | comment | added | Franck Dernoncourt | Aren't most of the questions on this website asked to get some medical advice? | |
| Dec 13, 2018 at 15:34 | comment | added | Carey Gregory Mod | @FranckDernoncourt You might want to actually click the link I provided and read it. And of course asking how to perform a medical treatment counts as medical advice. | |
| Dec 13, 2018 at 12:13 | comment | added | Franck Dernoncourt | Where was the "prohibition is on all medical advice" decided, and do questions on how to perform a medical treatment count as a medical device? | |
