I'm still new to MFP, but I noticed that some of the threads in the chit chat forum were locked due to inappropriate content. Just out of curiosity, are profiles deleted if they are repeat offenders? I've seen other sites where this happens. I guess it just never occurred to me that it would be a problem on a fitness site.

    Generally people are banned from posting in the forums after getting 3 strikes, but in certain cases, the account will be deactivated; underage users for example.

    More details here:

    The rules are very broad in many cases, and realistically you could get warnings and strikes for quite a few things. I would go into more detail, but well, you know... :wink:

    Thanks! I guess it's something I never thought about since it seems like such a positive place. But I guess people will get into arguments and get a little crude anywhere. Looks like there are some quick monitors.
