i notice there are a lot of people in these forums who only comment to be negative or bash anyone who gives advice, why are you on a social fitness site if you dont want help? How do you all deal with these trolls? iv been using the forum for like 3 days and its already pissing me off lol

    I'm usually pretty friendly and supportive, at least, I try to be, BUT I really can't stand stupidity. Won't lie, I've got a low tolerance for it. Zero tolerance for hate. And when it's just painfully obvious there's a troll situation, or someone posts something that's just beyond comprehension, here's two of my favorites that I post:

    You can absolutely NEVER go wrong with an LOLCAT. Ever.

    Honest answer.

    It's because a lot of new people START by giving advice, when they should be taking it.

    ^^^ This and 86 posts on the boards in 3 days?
    Wow.

    Was this prompted by the Eating Clean and Healthy thread or the fact that people like to eat Big Macs?

    Honestly though, here are my two cents when this topic comes up. We see this post a lot around here. And I mean a lot. Like two or three times a week someone posts a new topic to address the fact that we're all too negative/mean/bullies/trolls/etc. On top of that, every single one of the most patient and helpful people who've tried to answer questions on these boards will be called negative/mean/bully/troll/etc at some point or another when someone doesn't like the advice they're giving (even though it's generally accurate advice).

    When these threads pop up with no details, no examples, and no specifics about who or what you're talking about, you end up catching everyone with the label because the label has been applied to all of us at some point in the past. There is some bad behavior and there are some mean people here on these boards. But report it or point it out where you find it, because without context this just becomes another mean people thread and another gif post. It will never accomplish anything that you want it to accomplish (unless you're just trolling, of course).

    Review the community guidelines - there's a link to them in the page footer. A lot of those awful comments are definitely against the guidelines. Whenever someone is pissing me off and they're violating those guidelines, I report the comment. And then, if they piss me off more than once, I also click the little arrow underneath their profile picture in the thread, and choose to ignore the user.

    There are just some people who come onto every thread with criticism, or inappropriate sexual comments, or a terrible attitude, and clicking that ignore button is magic - you don't have to deal with them anymore. :)
