The purpose of the Eating Disorder Forum is to support and provide information as well as discussion on this very sensitive subject. This forum is not intended to be a forum to glorify or promote eating disorders. We are here to support people in their situations, and inform them. Do not encourage people in harmful behaviour, and do not seek encouragement for harmful behaviour. The Basic Guidelines: Be respectful of other members situations.
They came to this forum for support, not be belittled, or called stupid or ridiculous, or anything of the sort. This means just because you may not think someone is overweight, and that they are being irrational, that doesn't mean it will help to tell them that. This is a sensitive subject for many and they do not need to have a topic full of 'OMG UR NOT FAT'. Please try to offer some advice or support to them. Comparing yourself to them isn't going to help either of you.
If someone posts "I'm 5'5" and I weigh 145lbs and I think I'm fat/have low self esteem" it doesn't help them to say "Oh my gosh, I'm the same height and I'm 115 and I'M SOOO FAT!" That just makes them feel worse, and it doesn't help them in terms of supporting them. Try not to make it about you, or your weight - obviously people have different body types and what may be right for you may be way underweight for someone else. However, if they feel like you're fat at 115, they may try to go way under their ideal body weight because their self-esteem is even more damaged. If you don't have anything to offer to them, it's really better not to post. Do not glorify eating disorders.
This is a zero tolerance policy. Any post which we feel encourages or glorifies harming yourself will be deleted. This is dangerous behaviour and not what our site is about. It is not okay, cute, or anything of the sort to make those types of attention seeking topics and we will not condone it. An example of this would be the best way to make yourself throw up, or how to starve yourself more effectively, etc. This type of behaviour can be seen as self harm, which is a violation of LiveWire's guidelines. Please do not post Pro-Ana/Pro-Mia/Etc. sites simply for the purpose of encouraging people.
Discussions about Pro-ana or Pro-mia is acceptable, but if a member is requesting support on an eating disorder, or it's just a general topic, do not give links to those kinds of sites. Thanks! If you have any questions regarding this forum please PM one of the forum's moderators, Hannibal or immaculate. Post edited at 3:49 am on July 2, 2009 by roflfuckyou
