A Petition to iVillage
46
Sun, 10-24-2004 - 3:21pm
This is a community of women - a support group where women who have/had 100+ pounds can come to safely visit with each other.

As the disclaimer states "This board is a place where women who want to lose more than 100 pounds can find a safe and supportive community. It is NOT a place to debate obesity. More importantly, this board is not a place to attack or judge other members who are seeking support. Posts of this nature will be removed and may result in loss of membership and posting privileges. If you are seeking to lose under 100 pounds, we suggest you visit Diet & Fitness's list of boards and choose a board that fits your needs. Thank you!"

iVillage prides itself on safety of the members. Hence, the Terms of Service

"At iVillage, our goal is to provide a safe, friendly community where members can find the information and support they need. When you join, you agree to abide by our terms of service. The terms of service set standards for our website and our community. The rules of play provide additional rules and information for our community, so please take a moment to review these guidelines"

This board is not safe. This board has been stalked for the past year and a half by an individual who has repeatedly created new names. This individuals posts are all the same - mean spirited attacks. A few members have been particularily targeted by this poster and the sense of fear is present.

The members of this board have repeatedly asked for ivillage assistance in removing this individual. The members of this board have compromised their safety long enough. iVillage must do something to protect the members of this board from harrassment. This is a hostile environment.

iVillage employees have stated that they know the identity of the individual behind this harrassment. iVillage has an obligation to protect the members of this board. Legal action must be taken against this member before the members of this board file legal action against iVillage for violating our right to safety. Since many members pay to belong to iVillage a lawsuit would not be unrealistic.

iVillage all we ask for is a safe place to post.

"Don't ask yourself what the world needs; ask yourself what makes you come alive. And then go and do that. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive."

Harold Whitman
