Well, two days into my membership here and I already got moderated. The email I received was from a "Do Not Reply" address, so I went to the "Contact Us" and then Member Services. They want my name, mailing address and phone number just to inquire about being moderated?!

Perhaps this is not the forum I should be a member of after all. That is creepy and invasive.

Hi BigViffer,

I had to check to see what was going on... You wanted to share some of your meal plans with another member and provided a link to the "other" site. Linking to another site is against our Terms of Services. See below. When we pull a thread we send an email notice of why. If that is not in the mail box of the email you have on your account let us know. Not sure if you wanted to take the time, but maybe you could copy and paste your journey here in your profile. Let me know if you need anything else

Hello, BigViffer! I am a "lapsed regular" who checked back in this morning. I am excited to see your discussions on the boards in the future. I have totally missed the drama that is alluded to in this thread, but I have to say that I love this site. I have learned so much, and I find it really welcoming. I hope you will like it too.
