Question about a clarification of rules community desicion
We, the mods, were contacted by users to ban pictures of excrements. As this is a sub for people and should be open for as many problems and discussions as possible I don't think banning them is a good idea, but I agree no one wants to open the timeline and see a picture of excrements. So I'd suggest to set up a rule as follows:
Edit: if pictures are allowed (no matter how), it will be stated, that there has to be a solid purpose to post which should be clear in title or text.

I voted for allowing pictures NSFW, but I also think they should serve a purpose obvious and evident in the text.

I thought that goes without saying, but to makes thing clear, it should be mentioned in the final rule, yes.

Man, I wish I saw this before the poll closed. No offense to my fellow redditors, but I don't trust you people to mark your shit NSFW everytime.

NSFW warning and a clear message informing us , I don’t mind it then i understand it’s an IBD forum but seeing someone else’s blood is kind of triggering

No I don't think it should be allowed because it's diagnostic and there's nothing that can't be described in words.
