Relevant to a Certain Group

in Chit-Chat
What do you do when you read a thread title and you KNOW it's not relevant to you (think someone's birthday who you may not know or TOM issues)?

What do you do when you read a thread title that you are pretty certain will have comments that you'll find offensive (think a title religious in nature or Booby Friday)?

What do you do when you enter a thread, then realize it's not relevant to you or that you're offended?
(and I'm not talking about pro-ana, dangerous diets, or scams here)

If your answer is to report the thread or start commenting hoping it will get locked/deleted, then congratulations. YOU are the reason we may soon not have a Chit-Chat section and will be required to discuss anything non-fitness related in private groups.

If you don't understand anything I'm saying, then this thread is not relevant to you.

    I'll spill. It was me.

    (after re-reading my joke makes no sense. I am used to this. I am enlightened.)

    People don't report each other for the sake of the site.

    They report each other because they have an axe to grind.

    This is obvious, yes?

    And I have found this to be true on just about any forum site that I have been on... and it sucks!

    Well, it should be obvious to the mods because they're the ones who can see the reports. Like, I moderate a private group here. I can see who is reporting and the reason they're reporting.

    That would be really sad.

    I was here for almost four years before there was a Moderator "Staff" persay.....Mike used to try to do it all by himself....and it was chaos, but fun. If they made a "Lounge" Section that didn't show up in the General Forums list, but that you had to actually search for, that may be a reasonable compromise. But to do away with Chit Chat is really sad. That may be why there are so many threads locked with that "select group of users" rule (?) - to forewarn us...:sad:

    Exactly. If the same one person is reporting the same 10 people every day, someone should get the hint.

    I had an impassioned argument with you, Patti, on another thread. We disagreed BIG TIME. You felt very strongly that you were right, and I felt very strongly that I was right.

    And we each said our piece, and it was okay. I was irritated and maybe you were too. And since this is a website for adults and adults know that sometimes people disagree or get irritated or have a bad day, neither us of cried ourselves to sleep that night.

    You are very spot-on here; hear, hear, and cheers.

    Butthurt with an axe? I know, it sounds painful, it really is.

    That only works if someone has a clue.
