oh you are quite the little missy aren't you??? re talking about personal lives...well you can't mean me surely?? (btw when you use sarcasm well enough..you don't have to actualy point out that it is in fact sarcasm)
this forum was set up as support for ppl with weight issues...now whether that support comes from specific weight loss tips...just talking to other ppl in the same situation...even having a laugh & a joke with ppl in WLF (who can't fail to feel a little better after reading a few of chefs posts for eg!! LOL)...writing in our journals (whether that be directly related to your weight loss or not...though if we have food issues...doesn't everything link back to food or rather our need/dependence for it anyway??! & btw who died & made you police chief of the board???)...or reading the journals of other members...each to their own.
but what i understand its not...is a specific training/health advice forum...there are other forums for that. if you like steve then fine...follow him wherever he goes..but WLF is meant to be a comminuity of ppl helping/supporting each other out...it doesn't need gurus!!
as with any forum there are ppl on here who you will click with some more than others...as in life...personally i just never got the whole thing with steve. why someone was on here who didn't have weight loss issues himself??! i found him a bit full on & full of himself...many ppl with weight problems have emotional issues to deal with too & a little sensitivity goes a long way. having a buff body...doesn't give someone the right to talk down to ppl....
i've lost 16 lbs since joining here & post quite regularly...its always nice to connect with other ppl especially those who share similar problems as yourself. i am just trying to eat less/exercise more...thats it...am i doing everything according to steves high standards?? i very much doubt it...but then so what??! i'm still losing weight...my way. everyones weight loss journey will be unique to them as are the reasons (or excuses...in some cases...ME!!) we piled on the weight in the first place. i am looking after a child who likes to screech & scream (A LOT) & has a very disturbed sleeping pattern/eating issues & the occasional meltdown...i also work partime...but i am really trying at the moment to lose the weight as its makining me feel so bloody miserable & this forum & my posting on it as helped me immeasurably.
if you or anyone else doesn't like what i write/talk about on here then don't read my posts...but tbh i really don't give a flying monkey what you think!!
as for this thread...this will be my last post on it...one thing i can't stand is ppl who just bitch & moan for the sake of it...i mean isn't life hard enough at times??!

what are you getting so excited over familyweese? why dont you actually SHOW me a quote from Steve calling someone that has sought weightloss help stupid (calling spammers stupid is not applicable)? ya thats what i thought. god forbid someone point you in the right direction, "they are belitteling me!! oh no!" well if you were wrong to begin with, they are actually helping you so get over the ego

HA I have an ego now because I said steve wasn't dead and you can still talk to him on another forum? He had been warned before that the way he talked to people was inappropriate and he responded by starting a thread devoted to making fun of the "cry babies" This was before you came around so I wouldn't expect someone like you to have known that.

Yes thats exactly what we said that naked pics will make you lose weight. Are you serious? I believe I live in America for a reason. Because I can say what I want when I want. And I'm sorry if you feel the need to belittle others to make yourself feel better. Are you just upset that noone asked you for naked pics? I am an adult and if I want to show the world my naked rear I guess those that don't wanna see can basicly close there eyes.
Roflmao.
1). Put some glasses on, or take reading comprehension classes
2). Yes i am so jealous no one asked to see my naked pics (i dont have any, and respect myself enough to not require such self gratification)
ps. Arent you married? I suppose you could be one of those...
I guess being an american justifies anything according to you huh?
3). You know how you were bringing up mental abuse? Distributing your pics would probably result in that
4). If you are an adult, you coulda fooled me
have a nice day, i will not be back again because this forum is no longer what it used to be

History: the forum was set up to be a weight loss community, but within a few months, the forum, like all forums, take on a life of their own and it became a support community. So, my overall running of the forum has always been geared that way.
Steve had a lot to offer and I respect his knowledge. If I wasn't an admin, I would probably be arguing to keep him, as well. That's not the case and I had to make a decision. But, it was time for him to go, like it or not. He is building his own site and he is a knowledge guy, so it will probably do well.
Summary: some agree, some disagree. Time to move on and stop arguing.
no one has to worry about trying to subtly link to his site. I'm not on a banning rampage, so you just need to follow the normal forum rules and you will be fine.

Everything you are typing is pure garbage. You can continue to type what you want, and it will continue to be trash. You have yet to point out where steve ever called anybody an idiot, or stupid. All you can come up with after obviously digging is a thread meant to be an obvious joke.

not by me. if he wants to create a new name and try again, that's up to him, but i'm pretty sure he's not interested as his focus will be his own forum
Obviously your mind is made up. I am glad you atleast let people know where to find him. I still don't agree, but for whatever reason you have the power here and theres nothing anyone can do.
Why don't you try to converse through PM/E-Mail conversation with Steve, instead of making assumptive opinions?
Do you realize, that the above statement does not pass the common-sense test?
What kind of feces-logic are you using, MR. OWNER.
You ban him, but allow him to use a different name.........That is horse-shit logic.
You are in a mental "spin-zone", and I send Mr. O'reilly after you.
How may I ask is this reducing your complaints, when its the same person behind the new screen name? And, no mediation to work out the differences?
You need lessons, MR. OWNER. And, one them are, is recognizing you are making poor choices, and associated decisions.
You talk as if you have business skills, but your social and communicative business skills smell and look like vomit when I read them.
I see why you don't communicate on forums much.
LOL.
In the business sense, this is disgusting, and If I were your boss (and I am a supervisor of 50 employees), you would be effectively:
terminated.

This is such a bad April Fool.
In 99.9999% of forums that I've seen, nobody is allowed to discuss banned members on the forum itself. Also, he had like a kajillion posts. Why wait until now to ban him? Nice try, but I don't buy it.
We'll see you tomorrow Steve.

This is so ridiculous. Steve was one of the very few members on this board that actually gave sound advice. Now some idiot will likely tell me the only way to lose weight is to eat 1200 calories/day and drink a gallon of water. Your banning him has practically made this site obsolete.
BTW, according to Steve's forum, you didn't even tell him why he was banned. Uncool.

You're all going to look so silly when you find out this is an April Fools prank. Even if he was banned yesterday. (Everybody starts early on their pranks these days, just so they can try and prove that it's not a prank.)

Chillin:
do you feel better attacking me publicly instead of a PM?
-----
FYI: I did send him a PM, after I banned him, so I don't know why he's saying he didn't receive one. I've also explained it, as best I can, here.

I dunno about that. His forums has a topic on it too...This is such a bad April Fool.

Of course it does. If it didn't, then things would look mighty suspicious here, wouldn't they?
I do not have explain my business practices, because they are not the ones under fire, here, you are. Do not re-direct the point.
Explain this logic, Mr Owner. Please enlighten me with your wisdom.
You Ban the user: Steve. Lets make this simple, for your own reasons (what ever).
You do not talk with him or attempt to mediate the causes of the banishment.
But yet.......
You allow him to return under a different user name, without mediating the original causes of the banishment.
1. Same Person
2. The causes of the banishment not addressed properly.
3. Likelyhood of problem reoccurring?
This is bad problem solving skills.
THIS IS IMPROPER MANAGEMENT
Come on, Sean, you know this isn't practical, be honest.
If you are going to allow him to post, under his new name, why not allow him to use his original user name, and mediate the causes of the banishment.
Best regards,
Chillen
I don't feel I am attacking you. I am just addressing (harshly, yes), your logic behind allowing the new user name and banning the old one, and HOW this effectively addresses your causes for banishment.
I mean no personal disrespect. I apologize in advance.
I just disrespect your logic in your management of Steve.
I can't get my head around that (as I mentioned before).
Here is a suggestion, Sean. I do not know what this is worth, but I will say it anyway. I do not post here that often, but have nearly 9,000 posts on the FF, and have made some honorable contributions to that forum, and I have been around a while, and do have a "good feel" of your WLF, and FF forums.
I say that to let you know, I am not some fly by night, with just 100 posts.
1. Put Steve on probation, with stiff guidelines that are under stood.
Discuss things in detail and make sure they are understood, with associated consequences. I am going to PM you with some suggestions and opinions, if you will accept dialogue along these lines.
2. Assign a Mod/admin of your choice (that has the time) that can be fair, balanced, and unbiased, in observing (as much as possible) some of Steve's posts--or behavior, etc. You can get one, do not say you can't; it is possible.
In a PM, I will address other details.
Are you willing to communicate with me?
Are you willing to be "open" to some suggestions?
Best wishes,
Chillen
