Hello Doctor,
I was wondering why the Administration board, is the only board which does not focus on mutual support and education?
Kind regards
Nick

Hello again Doctor,
Upon thinking about it, I think I've managed to come to a conclusion why this board is not for mutual support and education.
My thinking is, maybe you have chosen specifically to reserve one board where the 'supportive' and 'educational' element is not in place, so as to see how people get along without that element. In doing so, again, my thinking is perhaps you have chosen Administration for this as statistically this board is perhaps where the most people are unsupportive due to the nature of subjects that arise here. (Hard to pin-point the chicken and egg theory, of if its unsupportive because it does not foucus on support, or if it would be unsupportive even if it was to focus on it.)
However with that said, the whole site does focus on the civility rules, people being civil to one another which in turn is supportive. So is this like when a drug is used "off-license" (strange example lol) here there is not a focus on support and education, but with people being civil to each other this 'supportive-ness' comes naturally part of being civil. In doing so it then teaches (education) people to get along with one another when discussing delicate subjects.
So in summary, although this board is not approved for support and education, in actual fact it is actually used 'off label' here. In being so, in a certain way you can learn alot from this board whilst also being very supportive to others...
Sorry to have anwsered my question to yourself with an answer LOL would you be able to verify if I'm on the right track with my answer?
Kind regards
Nick

Because the focus is on administration? An idea for an improvement, for example, is administrative, but neither, IMO, supportive nor educational.
Also, I think there's some tension between administration and support. I can administrate better if people inform me about questionable posts, but that's inevitably somewhat accusatory.
