Issues with the ED Board

[[Purple_Rain]]

No, we're not getting rid of the board.

*phew* thanks sorry for paranoid behaviour

Don't bring numbers/weights into this. I'm still pissed we're not allowed free speech in ranting and venting.

Yeah but you have to admit..numbers and weights are the most triggering things of all and cause competition.

In R&V? C'mon, that place is a trigger-zone. Anyone going in there knows what to expect.

In my opinion, anyone who's stupid enough to go in there wants to trigger themselves, which we can do nothing about.

so....I dont think its very fair..RYL is for recovery..not advertising how much you weigh...if you put it back in R&V it would come back in the ED board, and that is not fair to people that dont want to be triggered. Its not a competition.

Surely you understand that?

i agree with sammie,

numbers will not be good with recovery, to be honest i used to go into the posts that used numbers because i wanted to see how much people was eating, then i would try and beat them and eat less.. ect... i dont think im the only one who was doing that... numbers and weight shouldnt be anyone on a recovery site.. if someone wants it then there are other sites no naming any that do that...

I can only talk for myself cos i dont know what people are like and thinking.. but for me bring numbers back will be very triggering, and i know its up to me if i read them or not but my ED will make me, XXX

AGREED!!!!!!!!!!!

[Casper_Fading]

Allowing numbers in r&v would just end up being a way around the rule for everywhre else. Like... "i can't say how much i weigh eat hre so i'l ust post itin rant and vent whee vryone can see it anywas".

[*Stars_above*]

i think numbers shouldnt be anywhere in the fourm.. isnt that what the Journals are for?? no one has to read it beacuse its not there in your face... if you get me? XXX

[The One Who]

I would agree with the numbers. Although maybe the other rules could be relaxed a little in R&V if that is what people want?

As for the trigger labels, I voted in the other thread but I have said what I have to say (without repeating myself) earlier in this thread. It is too confusing.

NO NUMBERS AT ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!! If numbers come back im leaving....cause all I would constantly be diong is trying to be like other people, not ebcause I want to but because my eating disorder would want me to...

If you want numbers so badly go on a PRO site not this one!!

1000% with this XXX

[Casper_Fading]

I do wonder what the point of numbers are? Even in rant and vent? They strike me as very competitive and in some cases bragging rights... You know "i'mfattr than yu becaueiweigh .7 of a lb more... >.<

[The One Who]

That's what I meant, sorry if I was unclear. I'm not long up. I mean no numbers, but other things people find a bit too suffocating could be relaxed on R&V.

[Snow White.]

'Trigger Zone' it may be but it is still within the rules. There are no suicide posts, no tipsharing information - and therefore, no numbers.

I don't see why you want numbers so badly, Liv. If it's for 'expression' in ranting & venting then there are other places you can do that that are not recovery-orientated, like RYL is. We're not the only recovery forum to have numbers banned and I think it is a very wise rule.

[Oliviaface]

Well, I still want numbers back personally.

I don't really care about the arguments against it, I have my sturdy opinions on the matter.

[*Stars_above*]

numbers = no recovery... fact!

[I am a cat]

Well they are not coming back.....
