    I am new to responding here, but have used MFP for a while. This is by far the best statement I have seen! I want to lose weight, as does everyone who is here, but I also want a voice. I love what I have learned from reading people's posts, many of whom have changed their minds with more information...

    Maybe mfp should be split into two sections.....the conservative ppl and the fun ppl. This way everyone can flock with there kind :-)

    Make it three, the other one is.....in the middle. :laugh:

    It used to be fun...I have friends on here I would truly miss without MGP. Now you have to be an uptight prude with a stick up your *kitten* to get along. F that...love me or leave me *****es :devil:

    "MFP isn't the same as it used to be."

    Yeah, it used to be a place where people could come and get support for fitness and health. Now it's all full of people starting hundreds of threads complaining about the rules and generally acting like children.

    AGREE!!!

    Seems to me it's mostly become people complaining about what it's become.

    You want more fun and games then post more. Otherwise, nothing will change.

    It's a constant influx of new people. Make it what you want it to be.
    If it was up to me it would b uncensored....but tasteful. Everyone on here is grown, and know how to interact with each other. If it gets to x rated then those ppl would b addressed. On other sites bodybuilding.com to name one, things like this isn't even mentioned.

    You hit the nail on the head with this one Lew, ppl really need to loosen up and if you dont like the comments or convo just hit that lil X button in the corner of your screen, much less effort that typing a 2 page complaint...Now run tell that...

    Eh...Hello????

    Chit-chat, fun, and games?

    This section of the forums is clearly not the "health and fitness" section.


    fun   [fuhn]
    noun
    1. something that provides mirth or amusement: A picnic would be fun.
    2. enjoyment or playfulness:
    3. Informal . joke; kid.

    I think the groups are just going to create different problems, MFP will become even more like high school, there will be cliquesunless there can be an infinite number of people in a group, which I doubt will happen.

    I think there are easier solutions to what the mods deem a problem. Make a rated R section, or a section on sex, foul language, politics, religion, whatever. Any thread they don't feel is appropriate for the main forum can be moved into one of these sections, that way if someone who is offended by cussing or topics on sex clicks on one of those sections and complains, too bad! If you don't like the subject matter, don't enter! I also think the mods should take a more laid back approach to issues. Have a little faith that we are adults and can work though problems ourselves. I started a thread someone didn't agree with and it could have gotten ugly. The mods could have jumped on it and deleted it, but they didn't, and we ended up discussing it like the adults we are supposed to be.

    This would free up the mods to deal with real issues like fake accounts, harassment, etc.

    i totally agree. i feel the addiction isn't as strong now. why is that everytime you have something good, people have to mess it up?! i think it's easier to just stay in my own little corner these days...

    woe is me. :tongue:

    What are people "telling on" other people?


    That is absolutely ridiculous. And as Mr Sexy Muscles said, we are all adults on here. If you don't like what someone is posting or their pics than that is what the DELETE button is for!

    Rach your pics are pure motivation for myself and others. Keep it going girl! I love Booty Thursday :)

    I guess I will not live long enough to grasp why people that want to have some fun rarely seem to have a problem with things or threads posted in the strictly fitness forums here but for some reason that is not the same in return.

    Wht happened to all the fun and laughter. It seems as if its a lot of telling on each other. Last I checked everyone on here was over the age of 18. Tht being said, adults should act as such. If u have a problem with Wht someone says, inbox them and or delete them. By no means should u run and tell. This is a place for venting, relaxing, laughing, friendships and weight loss. I name weight last because u need to have fun while losing weight. Come on ppl stop the madness.

    I am RoJ and I support this message

    Agreed :)

    I agree as well.. I was reported 2 times today for pics of my booty and was asked to remove them.. Wth!!
    Wonder how long till I will be told to delete my new one.. Absolutely ridiculous... I am damn proud of what I have accomplished and after losing 148lbs I should be able to show off my rewards.. Not Like I am Naked in the pics..

    Personally I find your booty inspiring! :flowerforyou: and congrats on your weight loss!
