    Derailing a thread to flirt with another user who lives on the other side of the nation because their profile pic is "hot" (Actually I wish all forums gave strikes for this. I'm not anti-sex but COME ON!) Doesn't count in threads that have no actual topic.

    Telling people that what works for them isn't important or valid for whatever reason, usually because it's not what works for you. (I saw a fun thread recently where people were getting butthurt because some people avoid foods they might binge on whereas some people will eat anything in moderation. Different strategies for different brain types.)

    Obvious trolling.

    Not giving google a chance to explain things to you first.

    One strike for reporting something because you're butthurt.

    Two strikes for reporting something because you're butthurt if you've previously told someone to get thicker skin.

    Three strikes for reporting a topic that is "against the guidelines" if you've previously contributed to topics "against the guidelines".

    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^Isn't that the truth!^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

    Once you get on someone's bad side, they seem 'blank' bent on getting you banned and reporting you...for no reason at all other than to get you off the site because they disagree with your POV.

    The ridiculous "Men/women - what do you think of..." "How should women act on a date?" OH MY GOD. It kills me.

    Unless the against the guidelines topic you are reporting are one of those really dangerous ones that really needs to go - remember the girl posting all the anorexic pictures and telling the girls how to do that?

    Asking why you've gained X pounds this week despite doing everything right and you have a closed diary. Love that.

    Speaking of which, when I take a shower can I count that as 1 1/2 cups of water?! Surely I absorb some, right? :laugh:

    Posting a new thread that is asking a question already being asked in two threads on page one of the forums.

    Asking if you should buy an hrm when you have already loaded it in your Amazon cart and are just choosing among the shipping options.

    Any guy that admits to doing 30DS

    so like, if you get 3 strikes, are you really banned from the forum for life? does that carry over into being locked out of your food diary too?

    bummer, but as long as they don't block your food diary then not so bad. i wouldn't want to get 3 strikes and then get fat as a result.

    Strikes are extremely high in calories (as well as fruit sugars) so you have to be super totally careful about that.

    Posting a "what counts as water" thread.

    i feel this way about any thread topic that is made repeatedly. being new to the forum is no excuse for this. maybe being new to the internet in general might give you a pass.
