Once our system notices you have posted more than 8 times in 48 hours and/or opened the app more than 50-100 a times day repeatedly it blocks you for 48 hours from posting and replying. Weekends don’t count in this timeline. These are signals the app is becoming a compulsive behavior and not something we support. Other communities exist online which do not moderate this aggressively. If you have already deleted your account there is no way to recover it.
To clarify, that block does not include blocking the therapy section?
@NOCD Advocate - Katie No functionality in the app is ever blocked besides creating posts/replies, so therapy/sos/etc is never blocked. You can still continue to read the community as well. We may ease this requirement to not block replies as well.
I see, well that's informative. Thank you. Also is the support chat moderated by an AI or is it an actual person talking to me?
@chamomile&- It is a real human bean
@NOCD Advocate - Oh I thought it was automated haha. Anyways do you control it or somebody else?
@chamomile&- It depends, sometimes it is me and sometimes someone else depending on who has time.
@NOCD Advocate - Oh ok, that's nice to know. Thank you :)
The community is a concern from a clinical standpoint in that users may use it compulsively and research has shown this makes things worse (other platforms may not think about this side of the problem). Others have also mentioned that there are repeated posters and they are concerned about them and there is too much triggering content (which is something we are working in solutions to), we want the community to be a place where others no longer feel alone but we need to draw boundaries when behavior is becoming unhealthy.
This would be a question best answered by the support chat
I messaged them about it later on but they didn't reply also the support chat isn't showing up for this new account
Mine have been block too (mali)
Please, can any of you find it in your hearts to read this and help me? Okay so here’s the situation, I went through a traumatic experience a couple of years ago and have since deleted and gotten rid of everything that has reminded me of it. However, that also includes emails that I’ve sent to people. There was one specific email that I sent to my teacher in high school that I’ve gotten rid of, but the thing that’s really bothering me is the fact that it’s still sitting in her inbox. I want so desperately to remove it, but obviously I can’t. Would it be weird if I reached out to her on Facebook and asked her to delete it? I graduated almost two years ago. And I don’t know if it’s considered crossing a line, but it’s really driving my anxiety through the roof. If I were going to message her about it, how do you think I should go about it? Even though the thought of asking her also cause me anxiety.
Has anyone unistalled tiktok and was it better for your mental health in general? Idk if this is considered reassurance but I'm actually just curious.
I have no issue with the fact I’ve been blocked (title is to hopefully get some traction) but with the lack of monitoring on this community discussion board. There are users who are consistently reassurance seeking and nobody seems to be addressing this. It’s not helping them when people reassure them and It’s not helping others who then feel they’re helping by feeding into this. There are a lot of younger users and newbies (even long time sufferers) who aren’t aware of the issues of reassurance seeking. It breaks my heart to see how desperate some of the posts are. Again I’m not sure what the purpose of this discussion board is as it’s changing from being a space where we all support/motivate each other and can find sources for educational information surrounding OCD to a place where people are using it as a compulsion and for reassurance. Whilst I understand that it’s impossible for the board to be heavily monitored. It’d be amazing if NOCD would do a talk or make a post about reassurance seeking and let us know what the purpose of this space is. I’m not saying this to moan I’m just becoming concerned about some of my fellow OCD sufferers. *I’m not completely guilt free myself before I get an ear full.
