What MFP should ban

Cold_Steel

I am against censorship but I think I would forget that for a moment if mfp banned and removed the following ; Discussions about eating back calories, diet soda, fat people complaining about what other fat people do, people who post topics about complaining about people thinking they are fat when the weigh less than them (get over yourself yes 270 is a huge accomplishment for me but I am still fat ) and the Bacon debate ....Any others ?

No, I disagree. What is boring, discussed too much, controversial to you, etc. may be very important to someone else, especially if they are new here. Everyone needs to start somewhere. And as for the controversial ones, I think they should be discussed so people can learn. Lots of lurkers out there are learning from what is posted here. It's much easier to skip over a topic if you don't want to read it.

You shouldn't eat less than 1200 calories regardless of whether you weigh 120lbs or 200lbs! :noway:

Forget changing the wording just ban it!

It's a forum, I can only imagine how much work they would have if they tried to police content in such a way. I imagine they already have their hands full trying to keep things within the constructs of the rules that they already have.

I know I do my share to create work for them.

Besides no one forces you to read the threads.

I totally agree with this. Just because those of us that have been around awhile are well-versed in the answers to the questions, doesn't mean newbies are. We are bound to see a big increase in these types of questions in the next month as a lot of new people inevitably join the board. If I'm feeling crabby that day, I just don't open those threads. It's not up to me to be judgmental on what is right to ask. What's common sense to me might not be to others.

This is probably a sign that you need a new hobby.

What about the "who's your crush" and all the "flirting" posts.

Complainers. Especially those that complain about the goings-on at a free internet forum.

People don't learn what's right if they don't start discussing what's wrong.

I agree with the above! That's what the Forums are all about. Don't get involved with a topic if it doesn't interest you. Simple as that.

Ban "bumps". Man, those annoy me. Just because people are too lazy to bookmark a thread...

lawson305

although those things you mentioned might seem pretty basic to some - perhaps others - not. I am an old hat at dieting and could probably teach the class, but it sometimes help to see this stuff and helps keep me on track. I personally on't see anything wrong with these type posts. Granted, perhaps users can learn to utilize the message board search feature, but in my opinion, there are no stupid questions!

Thanks for the chuckles! :laugh:

People come here looking for answers and advise. If you don't like the discussion, you are free not to join in...welcome to America.

People tend to get their panties all up in a bunch on the forums whenever anyone posts about nutrition or whatever. Just let 'em go at it. This journey is not the same for everyone
