It seems like the people that post a lot on the forums get tired of answering the same questions. I wish there was some sort of filter or alert to tell you that you are asking a question that someone has already asked. Then maybe people will not get so frustrated and the sarcasm might be kept to a minimum. I am glad there is no body shaming though. I have seen some people comment about someones BMI and the person still being considered overweight. That was rather shocking but I guess if you do not want people to comment either do not post or keep your weight private. The forum just has so many posts it is hard to keep up with them.
pretty much this …
there is a search feature, but no one uses it...0 -

Was it BMI or body fat %, because a lot of people on these forums take BMI with a grain of salt (myself included).
I have only seen comments like this made in regards to what body fat % a person had, and usually it was meant as a blunt statement of fact, not as an insult, but I could see where someone who was sensitive about their body could get upset.0 -
It was about BMI. It just seemed to go a little past just advice or even harmless sarcasm. They locked the thread though so at least there is people monitoring. I agree with BMI being a little overrated because everyones body is different. So the wolf pack requires abs and butts? Haha just kidding.0

BMI is garbage IMO (In My Opinion) because my BMI says that iI am in obese rang,e but I have 11% body fat…the problem with BMI is that it does not account for muscle mass.
You have to have common sense and not believe in magical quick fix diets…in? oh and sugar, carbs, et al are not the devil...0 -
ETA: I'm sure I will be fully "in" once I post an ab profile pic.
I thought it had to be a butt or "porn" pic. I'm so confused!
OP (and any other newbs), when I was new in august I too thought some people could be a little nicer even if I agreed with what they had to say. I got over it.
Those people keep me well entertained on a long work day.
if you are male it is an ab pic; females have to have but or porn pic..its in the fine print of the contract in section 10aciiiiii on page 500….
I didn't read the fine print. Should have been in a forum thread... I'd read ALL the pages then!
I am female, therefore booty it is. Easier that way anyhow.0 -

Ok, thinking back I have seen comments along the lines of "your BMI is in the _____#, it's not your frame size, you're just overweight" type of comments made. Some people like to think that their being over healthy BMI is ok because they must be one of those people that is "big boned". THIS is not the case. Muscle mass can put you over. If you've never done ANYTHING to get the muscles, then your BMI is high because you're overweight.0 -

So I still do not understand what troll means?
troll - someone that post a flame bating topic just to get attention …
like - breakfast is the most unhealthy meal of the day….< did that once and it was epic..LOLZ ….0 -
So I still do not understand what troll means?
Ha! Depends on interpretation, but usually some one who starts a controversial thread or makes a controversial statement in order to start an argument.
I actually like arguing with trolls. I teach evolution in the south, so I have to be good at ahem "arguing" about controversial topics, and trolls help keep my skills up to date.
For reference, this thread was started by what many people think was a single troll using several different profiles (scumbag, nutella and possibly job0b). I had great fun debating stupid stuff on this one:

Well that is evil. Do all the wolf pack members respond then even though you have a ab pic therefore you may or may not be part of the wolf pack?0

Damn, I guess I'm boned. Can I get some sort of honorary membership pending abs? I promise I eat ice cream every night and roll my eyes at every 'sugar is the debil' thread, even if I don't bother posting in many of them.0 -

I has no ab or booty pics :sad: but from what I have observed, most of the veteran members will ratchet up the sarcasm when they're fairly certain the OP is a troll.
This sometimes causes newer members to get upset because they think the veterans are attacking an honest post. When someone is being genuine and shows real interest in learning, the veteran members are very helpful, if you start calling them mean because they tell you what you're doing won't work, expect to be inundated with cat gifs.0 -

Sometimes I cat gif just because a topic has gotten so far out in the weeds that only cat gifs can send it farther.0 -

Sorry, got distracted in the VS model thread, what a train wreck!
I need a new job! Can't post booty pics cause of morality clauses, can't see half the gifs posted cause of the district filter on my laptop and won't even bother trying to post my own.
Oh well, time for bed. Here's hoping for a weather day tomorrow!0 -

IDK you have to ask the leader…and the first rule of …well you know what I am getting at...0 -
wait until you get into the sugar , detox, juice/water fast, all other forms of idiocy that comes up …funny sometimes..frustrating most of the time …a lot of people looking for quick fix = depressing...
For example. It just seems like your referring to detox, juice/water fast etc. as idiocy. Maybe I am misunderstanding you.0 -

Giving advice often requires having an opinion. And consuming nothing but water for 21 days *IS* idiotic. There might be nicer ways of saying it, but generally, people asking for "advice" about these sorts of things, don't want to hear it, even if you're as nice as can be, so I don't really blame people for not bothering.0 -
Wait wait, back to what's truly important here (ie: not stupid water fasts and the people that do them)

Not for me or you but for some people it could be the right choice. But let's not get into this one again. Plenty of past threads to read through if you feel the need.0 -

With the authority vested in me, I'm gonna say sure. You must now post *another* booty or porn pick.
Cause ya know, I've decided I can do that.0 -

Ok, but there's stuff that while ineffective is relatively harmless, and then there's stuff (like consumming nothing but water for 21 days) that can be VERY harmful, and I don't think people should keep their mouth shut just for the sake of not being "hurtful" when they see someone wanting to do something in the hurtful category.
Also, there's the whole troll issue discussed earlier in this thread.0 -

So I am new to the forums and I noticed some words or phrases being used. Can someone tell me the meaning of...
Keyboard warriors
Wolf Pack
Troll
IDEE
We need a cheat sheet for these things. There probably actually is one..but I can't find it.
Wolf pack (I think) is the proposed name for a posse on this site that consider calorie counting and macros with no regard for micronutrients. They have all been very successful and wear little clothing.
In for wearing little clothing. :smokin: :drinker:0
