>The deputies are overloaded as it is, do they really have time or the psychologist training to do CBT enforcements in everyone's posts?

I rarely feel overloaded as a deputy, because if I begin to, I remind myself 1) it *is* a voluntary thing and I never *have* to perform any deputy duties and 2) another deputy or Dr. Bob can act. At times I have felt that way, it's been more about IRL stuff needing most/all of my time and energy, which means I should perhaps take a break from Babble for a time.

Interpretation of the overgeneralization rule can be challenging and it is an evolving thing, which is why civil discussion about it here should be helpful to Dr. Bob. But at the same time, I don't see myself as needing any psychology training or practicing CBT on anyone when acting as a deputy. I see myself as respectfully (I hope) reminding posters of the rules Dr. Bob has chosen to place in the FAQ for this site and requesting they abide by them, and not always because I personally think each and every rule is the best rule, or even that if it were my site, a rule I would decide to have/keep. Nothing more, as my role isn't to comment on or attempt to figure out *why* a person might have chosen to write in such a way as to cross the overgeneralization "line."

Mostly, I am comfortable enough with Dr. Bob and his overall motivations to assist in doing what I think he would do (not always successfully, of course) as far as administrating. If I ever am too personally uncomfortable (maybe triggered, etc.) with any certain rule or board, I defer to other deputies or Dr. Bob.

Probably obvious, but I speak only for myself and the other deputies may have differing views of their roles or the potential issues you mentioned.
