Can we use the forum data for good?

We seem to have a fair number of mental episodes on the forum for the years. Any way we can pump the data into a machine learning program to predict when a person is likely to have an episode and shut them off in advance? If successful it could be expanded to major social media platforms to help improve peoples mental health.

People with a mental health issue should be silenced?

I thought talking about things was good for your mental health.

For sure, but in the past you see escalating levels of aggression, conflict, and odd postings. That's not talking about it it's just adding fuel to the problem. Just thought it was an interesting idea that could have some social benefit.

We'd need to devise an algorithm than can accurately predict when a boarder is about to go OFF.

Maybe we could have some people dedicated to defusing these situations before they get out of hand? Something like a moderator, mebbe
