Evolution has just edited your posts above along with phate89's post. Why do you think he edited your posts?

Gas Why do you be the mature one, and move on to another thread, and assist another member on the forum with a fitness need?

Or prove you are here other than making posts that could stimulate drama.

IF you were stop. They will refrain as well.

Especially if they see you making constructive and informative posts to a members fitness needs.

Come on sista.......Step up.

Redirect your mental focus.

Yes they did use insulting words. Their posts were edited and warnings have followed directly to them. My point was that you came on here and have not contributed at all to the forum. The only thing you've done is to complain and gripe and to take a flagship for the voice of the X number of members here.

Case in point that you're just here to ruffle feathers was the post you made about my location immediately after I had just posted that I supported your view that we needed to clean up the language.

I have contributed to partygurl and spicypumpkins posts and would have contributed to others had I not been the subject of unfair attacks. If you look at my conduct, none of my language is vulgar.
 
Sara, given your knowledge of fitness and nutrition which we all respected its a shame that you came here as someone else to do this.


My only question is what did I ever do to you? I had a lot of respect for you and your knowledge. Use your talents for something constructive.

I am just suggesting to redirect your focus. Ignoring some minor things can go along way. Just leave the drama, and make constructive posts. Its that simple.

I am trying to mediate the problem and come to a common ground of understanding.

Step up sista.

I never said you were being vulgar. You seem bent on me picking on you because of vulgar language, and I have never said you were being vulgar. Take what Chillen said into consideration. My gripe has been that you came on here and threw up a fuss bucket about the language of certain people in the forum.

Okay...fine.

However, other than a couple of posts, you haven't really done much to contribute. If you had come on here and offered advice to someone whom needed it, if you had given constructive criticism to someone whom needed revamping of their diet, if...if...if...etc. This is what is so aggrivating to some of the forum members, you start waving fingers at people because they were behaving badly and criticizing members and that's pretty much what you've done.

I'm curious. Why don't you go to another fitness forum if you feel like you are being attacked so much?

It's obvious that there is absolutely no one on this board that wants you or welcomes your presence. So save yourself the trouble and go to another forum
 
I'm still waiting on the definition of contrevention. I checked thesaurus.com and got nothing. I'm really curious about this one. I'm not normally stumped with vocabulary and I love the chance to learn new words.

It would be a really helpful post if you could define that for me gas. Seriously
this is not meant to be malicious in any way.

I wasn't insinuating anything. I was simply stating that mental illness is a terrible thing and we need to reach out and help those in such an unfortunate situation.

I agree..as would anyone..." mental illness is a terrible thing " ...." we should reach out " etc. etc. .

I just don't how this - bi polar / mental health - issue is in any way relevant to this thread topic.

What's the connection ?


Kraken said:
My apologies if you read more than that into my post.

No need.

Perhaps, I misunderstood, but you said earlier...." Without treatment the afflicted will only become more of a danger to herself and society ".

Maybe I'm just missing something, but when you say " herself ", which woman / girl are you referring / directing these mental health comments to ?

I agree with pretty much everyone else. Your point has been made gas, several times. I'm annoyed primarily because some good, helpful and respectful members have been dragged into the drama. Why don't we all do the forum a favor and get back on track. Try to post helpful, fitness related things. Use the members lounge for random chat, and keep the drama to a minimum. It's only encouraging more immaturity and drama. I think we've all figured out who you are. In the past, I though of you as a very helpful, contributing member. We may have come across as harsh to eachother on occasion, but I respect your fitness knowledge. I hope we can all just settle down and get back to business...

Then perhaps you can fill me in since I've arrived late to this drama - who is the
former ' contributing member ' you're insinuating is also this new GAS member ?

Some previous posters in this thread already said it. Of course I don't know for certain, but it's a pretty good guess.

And if it isn't who everyone is saying it is, I'm sorry.

Seems to me, that unless you know for a fact - with 100% certainty - this GAS member is in fact a former member, then accusing someone like GAS of posting under 2 accounts ( old and new ) may be a bit presumptuous at best and perhaps potentially even a bit reckless IMO.

Besides, the mods would usually know if a member has been posting under 2 accounts - old and new - would they not ?

It's been my experience you have to be careful of accusing members of doing something for which there may be no proof - as this happened in another forum where I was a mod ...where after many unfounded allegations it was confirmed a member was falsely accused.

Just my 2 cents. :)

It is possible the same person could use one PC at two different locations and have two different IP's, if the person is that motivated to have two accounts. Additionally, they would have to have a different, E-mail address (I think).

Secondly, until Evo's post, no one had stated the IP's were different prior to opinions that gas was allegedly Sara. In addition, I believe no member had asked if they were, as far as I know.

Personally, I do not think its her. Its not her charactor in my opinion.

Furthermore, there is far too much speculation and not enough evidence to support this conclusion.

So back on topic....

Karky will send an email to Sean to see his thoughts.

Did anyone hear back from Sean? What were his thoughts on the idea of having a "locker room" folder?

Personally I think it seems like a good way to contain the vulgarity. If someone posts something that has a more "locker room" feel to it, the post can be moved there.

And what about making it access only? Why not? That way anyone who is interested in participating in it could do so, and those who do not want to see it, don't have to....

Sounds like a pretty good solution to help keeping the main forum clean of the joking while letting some member who enjoy laughing with each other a way to let the steam off without offending others.

I hosted a forum for about 5 years. The forum was a serious support forum where there was a lot of discussions that many people didn't want public. For privacy reasons, I kept the place semi-public and with a request they could be given access to the private folders.

Granted the topic of the forum was different, but the idea the same. It worked well for us. I had about 10,000 members at the time coming and going so maybe it could work here too.....

cheers,
Diane
