I'm getting overwhelmed with complaints about threads, posters, arguments, the general atmosphere on the boards, and more.
If I locked every thread and banned every poster who has someone unhappy with them right now, the boards would be dead in the water.
A few ground rules, please:
If you have a problem with a specific post that you think is inappropriate to the boards, to the point that the post should be removed or the thread locked, DO NOT post about it! Simply email us at Help@HelpForIBS.com, with the link to the specific post, and we'll take care of it.
If you have a problem with a specific poster who has a point of view you simply cannot agree with, please feel free to respectfully disagree with them but if, after one reply post, it's clear that there will be no agreement on the matter, LET IT DROP. There is no point to arguing back and forth.
If a viewpoint is put forth that is clearly contradictory to the focus of the boards entirely, again, let us know with a quick email.
I'm trying my best to keep the boards a happy and helpful place, but I can't do it alone.
The best advice I can give when you see a post that just doesn't work for you, or multiple posts by someone who simply isn't speaking your language, is to just ignore it all and move on to other posts and other posters.
Please keep letting me know about problems via email, and we'll try to keep things going smoothly.
I have to note that at this point, posters who do not simply notify us of offensive posts and instead post an offensive reply will likely be banned.
Thank you to all.
