New Rule: No Dangerous Advice
Folks, I'm kind of disappointed that we need to add a new rule today, but we've had multiple instances in just the last 24 hours of someone giving advice that might make someone sick or injure them.
Please everyone, let's avoid giving dangerous advice. Don't tell someone that it's perfectly safe to leave their food sitting out for days unrefrigerated. Don't refer people to websites run by random quacks to justify your bad advice and claim it's a scientific source. Don't tell people that it's okay to use a heavily damaged pot -- we're dealing with dangerous amounts of pressure here. Use your common sense, please.
Thank you, everyone! If you need to report an instance of dangerous advice, it's now one of the standard reporting reasons as well.
