I like this idea, but we really shouldn't do it until there are keyword filters and the ability to block users. Also it should be setup such that it can't show up on the front page. You should have to intentionally click into the comm in order to enter it. Perhaps have an option buried in the user settings that allows you to enter the comm.

For all those asking what the point is, it is nice for people with substance abuse problems to be able to vent and share their frustrations with each other. For those who dabble and are not addicted, it's nice to be able to share trip reports and experiences. And doubly so to be able to talk about those things with fellow comrades instead of the reactionaries over at reddit.

If you are actively using and aren't yet intending to quit, that rules out posting such things in the recovery comm. It's also not good to have drug related posts on main like we're doing right now, so unless we're going to ban drug posting, we should have a containment comm for it.

It shouldn't be any more of an opsec problem than anything else on this website so long as the moderators remain vigilant and crack down on sourcing attempts with an iron fist.
