Deleting an entire thread started by someone......

  1. 1. Deleting an entire thread started by someone......

    • Should LBT remain the same... that the thread starter has the ability to delete their thread for an ungiven amount of time? (Its their thread - they can do with it as they please.)

    • Once a thread is created, the starter is only able to delete their post - and not the entire thread.

    • The starter has the ability to delete the enire thread in a certain time frame.

I voted. The only issue that might come up is if someone quotes the thread starter. In that case a private PM to them to remove the quote would be in order.

This is a great poll, and hopefully can be useful to the admin in making their decision. I voted.

I voted....I hope this poll is taken into consideration in the final decision of the owner & moderators. Isn't it great to have a place where members can have their voices heard? I love LBT!!

I think when I changed my name it was changed on everything I previously posted... am I right on that? If that's the case then anyone who wanted to delete a post (or thread) for privacy sake could achieve this by simply changing their name.

I think it would be fine the way it was. or w/out the delete button after say 30 min. then only editing there on out. w/ the option you can ask a mod to delete if you were 100% you want it gone.

And the name changing is very smart idea..Most may not know its even an option.

I think we should keep the thread, but someone can remove their post. I agree that we'd need to figger something out for if a post is quoted, but if it doesn't happen very often, maybe our wonderful mods could just edit the quote also or something?

I don't think that the individual who started the thread should have the right to delete the entire thread once other people have committed their time and attention to it by posting on it and/or simply voting in a poll. I do think that we should all retain the right to delete our own posts, however.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
