Relevant to a Certain Group

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.

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?0 -

And I have found this to be true on just about any forum site that I have been on... and it sucks!0 -

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.0 -

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:0 -

Exactly. If the same one person is reporting the same 10 people every day, someone should get the hint.0 -
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.0 -

Butthurt with an axe? I know, it sounds painful, it really is.0 -

That only works if someone has a clue.0
