Larry Walker24 said:aha, thanks!
But I have an idea! Why don't we let actual experts handle medical or other specialized topics? They could even have specific nicknames, like a purple icon or something, so people know, "Oh, he's a doctor, I'll ask him."

Administrators are the users at the very top of the hierarchy. They hold absolute authority over the site. You can recognize them by their pink usernames.
A Ban means being prohibited from posting on the site. Users who violate the rules of the site (or specific subreddits) may be punished with a temporary or permanent suspension. This is called a ban. These users will have gray usernames, and banned will appear under their name, which translates to banned or suspended. Technically, ban comes from the English word meaning exile.

Blogs are websites where owners can post various articles and commentary for others to read. Usually, readers can also leave comments beneath the posts.

Forums are usually divided into subreddits to increase clarity and make communication easier among users. Each subreddit has assigned moderators who look after it. Subreddits host the topics that users discuss. Subreddits can also have their own sub-subreddits for even more focused discussions and better organization.
A post is an entry within a specific Reddit thread. Each post includes its author, the main body of the text, and the date and time it was published. Additionally, a post might include other elements, such as a title.
Spoiler (or spoiler) refers to content that could ruin the experience for someone watching a movie, a series, reading a book, or something similar. For instance, if someone wants to watch a replay of a game they haven't seen yet, and someone else tells them the final score beforehand, that second person has spoiled the enjoyment because the first person now knows how it ends. Therefore, it is highly recommended to clearly indicate where a spoiler begins and ends in such texts. This is typically done by using obvious markers before and after the text, such as START SPOILER and END SPOILER. Otherwise, spoiler comes from the English word spoil, which means to ruin.
Supermoderators are users who sit one step above moderators on the hierarchy. While moderators only have the power to manage the specific subreddits they are assigned to, supermoderators hold authority over all subreddits on the entire platform. They also possess additional powers that regular moderators do not have. On this site, they can be identified by having a red username.
A topic is a space on Reddit where users can discuss a specific subject (defined by the thread's title)—essentially, a place where users leave posts. Topics are always located within a subreddit that gathers numerous topics of a similar nature.
Trolling involves posting with the primary goal of provoking an emotional reaction from others or otherwise disrupting a normal discussion. Generally, this style of communication is considered undesirable.
In short, web addresses are examples of URLs. You can see these addresses in your web browser (Chrome, Safari, Firefox, etc.) in the address bar at the top center of the window. Technically, URL stands for Uniform Resource Locator. An example of a URL is: http://www.reddit.com/subreddit/example
This is an emoticon representing intense laughter. X represents tightly closed eyes, while D represents a wide-open mouth from laughing. It depicts an emotional reaction where someone is laughing so hard that their mouth is wide open and their eyes are squeezed shut.

I know there’s this whole thing with Facebook where someone sends you a link, you log in to see whatever it is, and then they "steal" your credentials. Pretty sure that happened to a friend of mine, so she had to change her password on Facebook and her email immediately.
