Whats this crap?
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.
DOES THIS MEAN WE HAVE TO GET PERMISSION BEFORE WE TALK ABOUT OUR OCTOBER BASH? Tammy... What have you done to bring all of these rules about?!?!?!
Sybil Did It !!! Not Me !!!
Honestly, I think OH is scared somebody somewhere & some how might make $1. off of something by mentioning OH & OH not get any of it. Because if you notice, you don't have to use a disclaimer if some of the "Big Dogs" are involved. That tells me they would prefer to be talked about & involved when organizations such as the "American Diabetes Association" are involved. You see, this way it looks like they are in the same "Major League" & maybe they will get some "Major League" sponsers here on OH. Therefore, their pockets get padded with more $$$.
OR......
Maybe OH's scared of getting mixed up in some advertising for "FREE ***** LOVE ALL WEEKEND THANKS TO OH". And I can see avoiding that type of exposure. Heck, I'd run the other way. FAST !!!
Now for MY Disclaimer:.......These are only the opinions of Sybil & nobody else. Sybil, who twisted my arm to get me to type & say these things, claims bodily injury will happen to me if I do not type what she says to type. Sybil also claims that she does not give a rats tail of who has, can get, or wants $1.00 as long as she has $1.00. Sybil thinks that OH should try & get Coke, Pepsi, Frito Lay, & Moon Pie to be sponser's of OH.
Tammy errrrr I mean Sybil
