Agreed we cant vent, rant, or rave here without having the thread locked. Kinda of sad the abuse of higher ranked members and some mods on here. If they don't like it they lock it but when it is a issue but they like it its fine no issue,.

I never noticed the dots either...lol

Rules are rules and that's why some topics get locked. I started one here last week that was locked. I honestly never meant any harm by it and it was my own fault for not looking at the rules of the forum before I started the topic. It doesn't matter if it's a rant or rave that many people agree with. There are rules here to protect the members. We agree to follow the rules when we sign up on the forum.

If I felt someone was receiving "special treatment" I would report it to the administrators and see what they had to say. Then I would probably decide if I wanted to leave the forum or just ignore it. Personally, I think they are doing their best to keep things running smoothly on this forum, it can't be an easy job and I'm glad it's not mine! :)

Dots??? What dots???

Yep I've had Susan (and Alex) roll up a news paper and smack me on the nose publicly like a bad puppy more than once! :P

Was I in the wrong? Was I violating the forum rules? Hell ya!

I took it like a big girl and didn't do that particular thing again, and moved on...

It's a phantom forum...not really there. Giving you the illusion of being able to speak your mind, but in reality only certain kinds of offensive behavior is allowed.

I am really unsure of what you are alluding to. I went back and looked at locked posts and they were all around the same thing..not making fun of other members which included some specific items like language, duplicate posts etc. So what other offensive behavior has been allowed?

If you want to talk about offensive behavior...then ya'll's chat room conversations which routinely deal with sex, masturbation and I believe an anal posting if I saw that correctly today I would call offensive. I have however learned how to leave chat..so it is the same concept..don't read it if it offends you.

Ranting is permitted. Ranting about members of the forum, named or not, is against our rules. There is even a sticky at the top of this forum that states that. It is discouraging to new members and makes them feel unwelcomed, which is not our intent. If you see a question you think has been asked a million times, then scroll on by it. If you see something you think is silly or stupid, just scroll on by it, It is that simple. But, do not create a thread for the sole purpose of complaining about such things as the thread will be closed.

If you have a problem with the way we moderate the forums, feel free to address it privately with myself or Alex.

Is it possible to get "kicked out" for chat room behavior? Just curious.

Ok, so asking people to do a little bit of research before posting is not ok. But people attacking each other over religion is.

Got it.

People around here have been banned for their behavior.. Many times. Is that what you're asking? I don't know anything about the chat room.. I thought that was gone

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
