Why is this forum even here?



Recommended Posts

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

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
