I'm not disagreeing with what you are saying, but there are a lot of things on RYL that would pose a risk to newer members. One is the expectation that people self-harm on a daily basis, and the escalation that undoubtedly comes with that. Another is the type of self-harm, and that there does seem to be a hierarchy of sorts, whether it is talked about and acknowledged or not.
