Event Exception ObesityHelp recognizes that there are cases where
sponsored events deserve and require our support, and, in some cases,
individual members may be sponsors to specific assistance from other
members. In order to post under this exception, one of two things must
be
true:
The event must be sponsored by a nationally recognized organization
such
as the American Diabetes Association (Walk-a-thons, bike rides, and
other
such events), or other organization that can be verified by the
ObesityHelp moderation staff. Bringing these events to members notice
as a
public service and providing links to the supporting web sites is
specifically authorized.
For an event not sponsored by a national organization or for an
individual
support such as to sponsor a member in a bike ride or for a local
member
event, these may be posted only when approved by ObesityHelp Member
Services and they contain the following disclaimer:
NOTE: This event is locally sponsored and is neither sanctioned by nor
supported by ObesityHelp Inc. ObesityHelp allows this post for member
information only and has not confirmed the event or the sponsors of the
event.
Civility These are open boards available to all members and we expect
that
members will maintain a degree of civility in their discussions. At
Obesityhelp, Inc's sole discretion, individuals may be moderated or
banned
when it is deemed that they are not acting in accordance with the
spirit
or purpose of these boards. Even behavior which is not directly a
violation, but which provokes or contributes to such actions may be
considered as grounds for banning the member involved.
Adult Discussions Recognizing that adults may wish to discuss matters
which are either sexually explicit or objectionable to many of our
members, we have created an adults only forum, the "Sex Before and
After
WLS forum" for this discussion. Adults who wish to engage in these
discussions may go to the following URL:
http://www.obesityhelp.com/forums/sex_before_and_after_wls/

may
contact our sales office for information about advertising on our site
through email at [email protected].
Public Information Members may discuss publicly available information
but
will be responsible for proving that it is in fact in the public domain
if
challenged. Proof of a release to post in writing will need to be
submitted or the posting will be removed. Posting private information
related to any person living or dead including addresses, phone
numbers,
or other personal details will not be allowed.
