I don't want to ask Alex or any of the moderators.... I wanted a poll question for the Users.... That's the difference!

Oh I totally understand that. It just isn't going to achieve anything. If you want to achieve something you'll need to address the person who can do something.

We, the users, do not have rights.

Personally I know that there is no way to keep someone from a board...no matter what. But I think that the attempt is good. It send s message. If you make it hard, there will be neough people that won't try to keep gaining access. they'll get the picture and move on with their lives. there are some that just won't, and that is the true necessary evil of the internet. But i applaud the attempt, and hope that it send enough messages, and at least weeds out the people who give up on trying. Eventually...it gets tiring. I can't imagine anyone having the time or energy to continually create new accounts from spoofed ip's just to keep coming back to make asses of themselves. So yes...I applaud the attempt at control. At least it shows the board mods an owner are trying to keep this a safe place for those trying to get support.

That exactly is more of the type of opinoin I was looking for!! I applaud you for the great opinion. I myself am of the opposite opinion that if you just ignore them, they will get bored and go away.

But still what you just said is what I was curious to learn... and that was what everyone besides myself thought about it.

Again... I'm not trying to change anything so addressing them would be unnecessary. I don't care about our rights... I care about peoples opinions... That's why I asked!

:) *hugs*

I see what you mean...I really do, but I don't think that it is the proper way of doing thing. Just because we can't arrest all the drug pushers on the streets doesn't mean we shouldn't try. That applies the same to this. you might not get all of them...but you get most of them.

Well I just thought the "Ignore and they'll go away policy" could be sucessful and I've never seen it tried here since there are always "TROLL" names.

I guess I'm the only one who thinks that "Banning is ineffective" and I can accept that but I had to ask!

Hey Cash.... I agree with you!

Well we are losing the poll.... but thanks for agreeing with me! I also empathize with the other side but really I've never seen banning work. It just seems like message boards in general are plaqued with this stuff!

I don't like the banning or the censorship and would rather post at a site that is more free with the rules... but it's not my choice (I get that). I continue to post here (occassionaly) but still it's urks me when members are getting banned weather I liked them or not!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
