Asking for medical advice...don't they have to agree to TOS anymore?

Hey, guys, have y'all noticed an increase lately in the threads asking for medical advice, or is it my imagination? I remember when I became a member, I had to agree to the TOS, and that was right there, not to ask for medical advice, or legal advice, either.

Maybe I'm hallucinating, just wondering.

I think it's a matter of people not reading the TOS. Sort of like skimming through all the fine print.

Never thought about that.

Stress also leads to brain farts.

Or, if you can get away with it for awhile before the mods catch you, you actually get an answer from a few.

But from a faceless, nameless anonymous person on the internet??
Plus consider privacy issues.

Not a reliable resource, IMO.

I've read them, although it was after I got in trouble and I went to go read them so I wouldn't get in any more trouble
