Can we get a labeling system for posts to clarify the difference between what has actually worked for people that lose weight or whatever condition the subject is about, and a second one the "Someone told me", "I read a magazine", "Dr. Oz" information.

I think we should put an abbreviation in the front of the topic, My suggestions are

AE: Actual experiences and
BS: Bulk Statistics like "Someone told me", "I read a magazine", "Dr. Oz" information. :wink:

What do people think? :bigsmile:

    This would be incredibly helpful. If only the ones posting the "BS" didn't think of it as "AE", we'd be right on the money!

    To save the life of my mouse, it only has so many clicks in it and I don't want to waste them :tongue:

    Then you will have people asking you what does AE and BS mean..making you have to type it out anyway.

    "Posts by members, moderators and admins should not be considered medical advice and no guarantee is made against accuracy"
    This is CLEARLY stated at the bottom of the web page... If you read something, it's on YOU to verify the authenticity of the statement. Curious if a certain workout actually produces results?... try it. Not all information is available for easy access. Do some digging!
