Nasty Post

Please know that all you have to do to get the nasty post off of the forum feed is block the sender.  

 

Thanks for reminding everyone of the Block Feature.This is Great advice to anyone who doesn't have time for drama and is seriously focused on success.

My thoughts exactly:)

Thank you. Being a new member, this information is always appreciated, I am here for info, not drama. I did have to block someone who sent me a CREEPY private message. I acyaully sent it to the moderators, but they never responded. Oh well. I blocked so that screwball won't be messaging me her filth anymore.

They probably didn't respond because they simply deactivated the "member".  Every now and then, someone comes here and sends some either creepy or spam type emails, and the mods get the reports and just deactivate them.  Fortunately it doesn't happen very often.

Thank you!  I didn't know you can do that.  The other day someone left a negative reply on a post and it made me feel bad.  Instead of talking tish back i abandoned the thread.  I don't remember OH being like that. 

Love you xoxo

Yes, if you look at replies by others you will see that one of the options is "report".  If you find something that violates the terms of service (no soliciting, no personal attacks, no lewdness, etc.) you can report it to the moderators. The page that comes up will ask you why you believe the post should be removed. The Report function is NOT, however, just to say "I thought this response was too snippy or is incorrect, etc."

P.S. it isn't always like this.  Isn't most of the time in fact.  We just have periodic bouts of new people complaining that "some people" are too harsh or whatever the complaint is, and when they make general statements like that (it is usually directed at the "vets") it annoys the vets who have been here a long time and yet keep giving of their time and know,edge to try to help (when most people disappear forever once they have lost  most of THEIR weight).

Why even use the word "vets"? Everyone goes through the process differently. I've yet to find someone experiencing the same post op symptoms as me...

Because we are Vets..... we have already been there.....not sure what you are looking for here???? one of us usually will have  been through what another person has and can help  them out, it is a term that has been used here for YEARS and we have actually earned it:) I am sure there are some that have experienced the same as you, many are Lurkers and choose not to post, I can see why!!! in the last few weeks the drama lama has  visited this site a lot and now everyone will feel forced  to but the zippers on. I thought Lora's post above yours explained it well. Denise

Haley, a "vet" is someone over 1 year out from surgery, that's where the term came from.
