I have been on this website and on these forums for almost a year now and you can clearly tell that half the posts are fake posts (because they are so ridiculous you can tell they are made up) done by fake profiles...Something should be done about this....they are not hard to spot, I was just on an eating disorder board and spotted two right of the bat, one girl claimed to have every disorder known in the world and said she had 1224 pictures of herself on her profile, another girls profile picture was clearly not the same person as her other pictures, and what she said was ridiculous also....what is this? I thought this board was to help people...Are these peoples lives so boring they have to come on a weight loss board and try to make sport of people to make their life less boring? what the hay......

    are you sure you posted this on the right forums?

    1. MFP only allows for 18 profile pics
    2. MFP has no disorder board
    3. Moderators are all over the place here

    And go be fair, this is a busy forum. Between the amount of posts per day and the people flagging posts simply because they don't agree with them or don't like what they said (which requires a mod to review), I doubt the mods have time to start scrutinizing every account/post to decide if they are real or not.

    I am so confused, it sounds like you are talking about a different site, MFP isn't like that at all...

    I highly doubt that half the profiles are fake. If ignorance, stupidity and lastly profile pics that aren't actually the person (Why yes I am a ferret that has learned to use the internet) constitute a fake profile than it would be closer to 90-95% of users considering the amount of derp on here.

    As mentioned if you find something to be disturbing such as promoting EDs use the report function or contact the mods directly as that is also in the flagging feature.

    There are several pro-ana groups lurking around. There are also a couple of recovery groups but they're not nearly as active. Nature of the beast. This is a dream tool for an ana and very easily abused.

    Maybe MFP needs to hire these guys to mod the forums.
