I went from 4 or 5 to 18.0

I guess someone didn't like what I had to say and went back and flagged all of my posts. It's funny because I never said I didn't want new people in the gym.
I swear people flag stuff because a) they don't like someone, or b) they're stupid and think it means they LIKE a post.

If you go to the notification tab where it tells you when there are new posts in your starred threads (the little bell thingy- it took me forever to figure it out haha) and click "all notifications" it will tell you how many you have0 -

You can see how many you have, not sure if you can see everyone else's.0 -
I wonder if people will eventually start getting in trouble for flagging without any real cause. It has to be a pain for the mods to sift through all the unwarranted flags.0

I have 92! Woohoo! I feel so special!
ETA wait...I didn't realize I post that much...too much time on these silly boards. Perhaps there's a New Years Resolution in there somewhere.

When those people figure out their goal that requires a long-term commitment cannot be accomplished with a short-term plan.
WHAAAAAAAT?!?!?!?!? You mean I won't wake up at my goal weight after only 3 days of walking on a treadmill at a pace I still talk on my phone at and eating kind of clean, but totally earning it because I went to the gym?
I'm out . . . .0 -

I have 49 and they are all from the same thread. The one where the guy was like "People should only comment on threads if they are answering the EXACT QUESTION the OP is asking."

For as many insults that I throw around, you'd think I'd be doing better than 18....13 of which came in this thread.0

Wow that's a silly reason to get flagged, often lurkers or people with similar concerns will read a post or use the search function instead of creating a new one on their own. It's good to try to give specific advice for the original poster but sometimes blanket advice can be helpful to people with a similar but not exactly identical problem.

It lasts around 45 days at my gym, and I am glad when it is over. My gym is already very busy, so the New Years Resolutioners (as I like to call them) make it much worse and after driving around for awhile to find parking, I often have to alter my routine once inside. As a creature of habit, I hate having to do that.
I don't know what all the hullabaloo is about some prior comments on this thread. haven't really seen anything said that was offensive.0 -

Supposedly they are going to start looking into that soon. Supposedly.
I'm on track for 300 abuse and 100 spam this week.
Guess my brand of doesn't mince words doesn't mix well with the sunday lifters. lol.

I hate having to wait for equipment when the gym is packed in the New Year. At my gym it calms back down at the end of February.0

Oh yea, I'm at 291 flags:
34 spam 257 abuse
How do I check!?
Edit: I see I've been labeled abusive 8 times!0 -

Afternoon after work is usually about mid March before it does down. However, I go at 445 am so we get a handful of newbies who are gone within 2 weeks.
I use to complain about it but someone reminded me at one time I was one of those people.0
