There are several boards that I know of on ivillage that only allow members who fit a certain criteria. For example, the "Teacher's Circle" on ivillage has this at the top of it's board:
<<>>
I have seen parents who post there GET THEIR POSTS REMOVED because they weren't teachers and were asking teachers questions on how to deal with teachers at their kid's schools!
Perhaps this board should adopt a similar policy, disclaimer at the top. Maybe something like this:
NOTE: This board is reserved for people weighing 100lbs or more and THOSE WHO WOULD POSITIVELY SUPPORT THEM IN THEIR EFFORTS TO LOSE WEIGHT. It is not designed as a forum for fat bashing or debate. If you are a person who would like to debate the different issues concerning weight loss, please visit the debate boards.
Just a thought....

Why not? Why is it allowed on other boards but not this one???
From the "Child Free by Choice" board, here's another example:
<<<<>>>>
So, if disclaimers/policies are allowed elsewhere, but not here, isn't that discrimination?
Seems like that to me.
Good idea.
