Rules of the SB Diet Forum
From the site administrators:

"The rules are simple, no flaming, trolling, profanity, racist remark, spamming and advertising...etc. If [the moderators] find any unsuitable posting [they] are allowed to edit, delete or move to appropriate forum."

Just thought this would be helpful. The moderators can and will "...edit, delete or move to appropriate forum" if it appears necessary. We also reserve the right to delete any avatars that are deemed too wide for reasonable viewing of posts for the community. Please do not link your ticker image into your profile avatar.

Missing Your Post?
Here's the deal if you are missing a post or it is not where u placed it, it is MOST likely because a moderator has put it in the correct forum. Look in the other forums before restarting the same thread. We will delete anything we see duplicates of. Remember these are all steps that need to be made to keep this forum clean and in order for all of you to read and use for help.

Questions?
Remember, not all of us moderators are always in the forum. But, you can send all of us a private message and someone will eventually do something.

Phase 1 Forum
This is a "phase 1" forum, which means it is for folks in phase 1 who would like to chat with each other and share experiences. There aren't people monitoring this forum to see if there are questions that need answering. It is just a bunch of folks who are in phase 1 together.

If you're not getting an answer to a question, try posting it on the Southbeach Diet forum. Now, we don't encourage you to post any question in two or more places....clogging up the forums by doing that. You should try to get your question answered in one post first. But, phase 1 only lasts 2 weeks so it's possible the people who could answer your questions are either on the phase 2 forum, or in the Southbeach Diet forum.

Thanks and good luck on the Beach!! :P

I'm not a moderator, but I just wanted to add a helpful note about how to find your post if you can't remember where you posted it, or in case it was moved:

Click on "SB Diet Message Boards Forum Index" at the top or bottom of the page.
You are now on the Forum Index page. Click on "View your posts" on the right, somewhat near the top of the page.
This brings you to a list of your posts, organized by Forum and Topics. You can click on the topic name to see the full topic and read any replies that may have been given.
I hope that is helpful! With more areas here, it definitely gets confusing sometimes to remember where you asked a specific question.

P.S. Clicking the following link should allow you to skip instructions 1 & 2: View your posts

A troll is someone who posts something on a message board for the sole purpose of getting people riled up. They choose a stance or a topic that is sure to get some heated reactions.

The best way to react to a troll is to ignore them. If they don't get a reaction, they go away.

Been awhile, but yes, they do exist and we have had our share in the past.

Wickipedia wrote: An Internet troll, or simply troll in Internet slang, is someone who posts controversial and usually irrelevant or off-topic messages in an online community, such as an online discussion forum, with the intention of baiting other users into an emotional response[1] or to generally disrupt normal on-topic discussion.[2]
