A Moderator Reminder: Why we Split into r/Mediums and r/MediumReadings. Why Reading Requests Belong in our Other sub.Why we Don’t read on Posts but Offer Advice and Refer Readings to our Sister Sub.

[RicottaPuffs]

We split the sub a couple of years ago so that this half could be a safe space for medium interactions and questions. We wanted one space.to be for readings and reading requests, and this to be a space for mediums to develop, grow and to provide information, free of competition, free of backstabbing, (which was happening), free of religious conflict, and free from triggering posts.

Mediums are sensitive. We receive information very quickly. So when our sister sub, r/Psychic made changes and established a volunteer reader list and etc., we were inundated with posts that were triggering for our mediums.

The photos in particular, were.problematic. We wanted our psychics to be able to choose where to view photos of the deceased. As well, the s posts that were not medium related, inundated.the sub. “Read.my aura”, “Compliment me”, And those that were as such, , ” Give me information about an active police investigation which is not my.business”, and/or “Is my ex boyfriend, coming back?”, and etc.

We do not do readings on posts here, but, in r/MediumReadings.

The result is that this sub is a safer space for psychic mediums. No competition, no scammers preying on the vulnerable, and no showboating of skills.

It is better after the separation. Itnis not.perfect, but, we work.bery diligently to make it better.
