We've been getting several questions that I believe are more about General Health than on Fitness & Nutrition. It might make me look like a jackass for closing questions from users who just joined the site, but I truly believe these don't belong on the site.

Examples:

I understand that seeing a lot of questions about injuries might give someone the impression that the site would also allow questions about other problems you might be having. However, unless the problem has any influence on exercising, I don't think we should be catering to these.

So what do you guys think, how can we clarify our FAQ that we don't want these questions and where should the border be?

PS: please start using your close votes, it helps make the mods look less like a bunch dictators ;-)

Where does Fitness stop and General Health start?
