It is a recurring theme on this site that āalternativeā therapies are suggested and even implied as superior over legitimate, time-tested treatment plans.
I think it would be helpful for new users to the site to see comments āflaggedā for promoting āalternativeā therapies that go against standard of care, especially care that is done under naturopathic, chiropractic, or otherwise require the financial investment of the patient to reap the benefit of purported ātreatmentā

We have an Non-Pharmacological Treatment > "Alternative" Treatments sub-category - it would be a good idea if all Topics that fall into that Category were put there. I wonder if that makes it clear enough?
However, I wonder if we need a tag just in case itās something that might occur in other places?
Unfortunately, Tags and Categories are Topic level.
Are you suggesting a Post level solution @sheepdog_lord to capture the occasion when only a single post needs to be sign-posted?

Post level solution
basically yes, and ideally moderator tagged. Iāve been seeing this happening on new user diaries

Let me research if thatās possible. I like the idea.
What we could do is use the Flag tool for users to raise the issue to āModeratorsā and then have a staff level solution to colour/mark the Post.

Was there a follow-up answer to this?
Iām investigating ⦠but in any case relies on someone flagging a Post using the publicly available flag tool below each Post.
For now if I agree with that flag I will look to move things to Non-Pharmacological Treatment > "Alternative" Treatments if possible.
Did you have Post in mind?

No particular post in mind. I wanted to make sure I had not missed something.
If I understand correctly, if I felt this post should be tagged with a particular tag, I would select the flag below, and then pick āOtherā?

Yep thatās how it works
(I hit ignore on your flag so you havenāt witnessed the full workflow, but thatās how itās done from your end )
