This section will continue to grow as the needs of this forum are assessed.
Rules are set to keep this a safe place for members. Mentioning of numbers, calorie intakes, clothing sizes, symptoms leads to competition between members. Eating Disorders feed off of this. So closing and/or editing these type of posts are not to impede on your freedom of speech but rather to keep from feeding into the disorders.

Below are reasons why your topic may have been closed, deleted or edited:

• Mention of numbers, weights, and/or clothing size
• Mentioning calorie intake.
• Asking for medical or mental health assessments. Please refer to your doctor for this.
• Comparing symtoms. This can lead to competition between members.
• Thoughts or threats of suicide. HOTLINES for real-time help
• Seeking member participation in projects and/or news articles. (These will be deleted. Persons joining for this purpose will be banned.)

If you come across any posts that have content that may be triggering to members, have weights/numbers mentioned or have any concerns regarding a post, please PM me. It would be a great help in keeping this a safe forum.

A member with more than 3 posts containing content to be edited will have their posts set to moderated. Moderated posts will not show up right away. An Admin or Moderator will read them and then approve or unapprove depending on the post content. This will last up to 6 days.


Thanks!
