    Ban "bumps". Man, those annoy me. Just because people are too lazy to bookmark a thread...

    although those things you mentioned might seem pretty basic to some - perhaps others - not. I am an old hat at dieting and could probably teach the class, but it sometimes help to see this stuff and helps keep me on track. I personally on't see anything wrong with these type posts. Granted, perhaps users can learn to utilize the message board search feature, but in my opinion, there are no stupid questions!

    This place would be so boring if this happened.

    People tend to get their panties all up in a bunch on the forums whenever anyone posts about nutrition or whatever. Just let 'em go at it. This journey is not the same for everyone :)

    Complainers. Especially those that complain about the goings-on at a free internet forum.

    No, I disagree. What is boring, discussed too much, controversial to you, etc. may be very important to someone else, especially if they are new here. Everyone needs to start somewhere. And as for the controversial ones, I think they should be discussed so people can learn. Lots of lurkers out there are learning from what is posted here. It's much easier to skip over a topic if you don't want to read it.

    I completely agree. While I also think a lot of dumb topics are out there, to some people it's important and it can be helpful. Maybe not to me or you, but that doesn't mean it should be banned. That's why censorship shouldn't be allowed. A handful of people get to decide what's "right" for everyone to hear. That isn't right or fair.

    I so agree with this. MFP is NOT a dating site - there are enough of those around already.

    Change "Water intake" to "fluid intake".

    I disagree. It should stay as water. You need 8 glasses of water a day.

    Is there a nation that does require people to participate in forum threads?
