Why is "Being 'fat'" closed?

It was friendly(ish) debate yet it was closed...

That's a good question. Someone probably reported a post in there or something so they closed it to deal with 'rule breaking' I guess.

can you please explain which part of my post was so bad that you removed it yet you've left pretty much every other post in that thread and that my post was in response to a comment which had been previously made, so the post before it should have been removed for posting to cause an argument

also why was my post removed, yet this wasn't.

And also the HEAD of science at our school taught us only last week about this.

And what I said about the fat = overweight is true, considering once again, we learnt it in school.

Did I ever say she evolved to have a rugby players body from her parents? No. What I said was that SHE is a rugby player, so her body ends up adapting its self in slight ways to suit being a rugby player.
If she had tiny little bones, like some people, they'd just snap.

And about the BMI, you said 'Some BMI calculators may ask you for your body type, but that doesn’t matter' so I just replied that it does matter.. before you start to try make me look like an idiot on saying stuff about BMI, maybe you should remember stuff that you wrote on previous posts?

Oh god. Arguing about something which I'm obviously correct in (as most people know) with some little child on the computer.

You know what? get google out, and find out that you're making yourself look like an idiot.

Which is a direct insult (little child comment) yet pointing out that being 5ft 8 and weighing 5 stone is serverly anorexic is posting to cause arguments? and since when have 'posting to cause argument' posts been removed? they are usually just modwarned?

The reason it was closed was for the thread to be read through and dealt properly rather than leaving it open for it to continue. I believe it had been opened again or will be.

[@]@The Don[/@] If you have a problem of whats been sorted then Pm me or Chris or report anything you think is breaking the rules. It doesn't need to be discussed in a feedback thread.

I love how moderators can't do their job in real time anymore.

I wont discuss moderation issues with you publicly, as I have stated many times in the past!

& Jordan is dealing with that post now, thanks for letting us know!

Well thats not true :P It's sometimes easier to temporarily close a thread when there are offending posts which need going through.

Haven't been as active on the forums recently, but when I was there was quite a delay in terms of some threads being dealt with that should have been quicker. Issues in the whole thread should have been picked up when it was "temporary closed".

The fact they have no one from the international side on the team either doesn't really help things!
