... How is this advice? .___.;
Basically what Kaga said.
He seems to be trying to make a personal advice page, where people come to him specifically for advice.
Most people seeking advice just make a thread about their problems on this forum to get advice from anyone, though.
Though I am inclined to agree that it's probably not going to be effective because people generally just post their own topic, it might actually do some good.
I mean just think about the act of making your own thread for the moment.
It's announcing your problems publicly to all of Iwaku basically, creating a centralized/focused thread for everyone to zero in on their case specifically.
Some people may want help, but at the same time not want that level of attention given to their problem either.
A thread like this could help reduce it, the main focus being directed on the Doctor *woosh woosh* here rather than the person with the problem.
It means less flooding of attention, so help is still being given but at a smaller and more controllable dosage.
Plus there's the whole matter of secrecy.
Some people may have no close friends to talk to, so if they want any help they are forced to say it publicly and hope someone wanders along.
But if people offer it ahead of time? It can mean the person with the problem can shoot a PM, get some help without it being exposed to too many people.
Then there's also the factor of valuing a specific persons opinion.
Maybe you want advice, but you don't want it from just any person but specific individuals.
Now granted in this case PM would be the most logical response, but some people might prefer to do it on a personalized advice page.
It's all up to preference in the end though.
