Fictitious Members



Recommended Posts

I typically check new members a few times a week.

After I checked this morning 11/22 there are several that their information is bogus including kids and reports of weighing 60 pounds after a 60 pound loss. Surgery dates that are older than the are.

I love this forum, however I do not plan to put my self out there for ridicule or for someone to have a laugh on.

Why is this not monitored !

I will be leaving this board today for this reason.

I have not detected it to that level, but I have scratched my head a few times concerning posts that were illogical from someone who supposedly underwent this surgery. Perhaps it is one and the same.

I'll look deeper when these posts are made.

there are trolls on every message board.

don't give out more information than you want to give out, but don't let a few bad apples ruin the bunch. otherwise, you should stay out of public message boards for good.

I have run acrossed some bogus members as well. I just flag them. It doesn't get to me though. I don't care who reads about my experiences.

Ok guys and gals, this is the deal....there are automated spam bots that sign up to forums such as ours for many different reasons (post spam links, send spam PM's etc.) We've recently implemented two layers of security checks that access third party spammer databases and we should see a major decrease or possibly a total elimination of bogus members. If you see a member that looks fishy, please use the report member feature! The report member link can be found on the bottom right of any member profile.

The members you're seeing are actually most likely real members. We disabled the surgeon/bandster profile search and other related features until we completed our site upgrade. The data you currently see is something these members didn't have control over. Things should be back to normal within 24 hours.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
