John I have a question .. when you first signed up as a member and sent your first post did you have to go through that approval process?

Yes I did. My first two post were checked before they were posted. My first two post included my intro post, And that long how i quit post <-- that was my very second post.

I just figured this entire time if the administration didn't want us there we wouldn't be there. Whether its an AA type site or not. I don't know how else to put it. And I don't believe there was any doubt that the following membership requests were from ecf members. That's why I have always felt within my rights to be there. Whether it upset the members or not its the administrators site. And I'm sorry it bothers some we did it but that's just my two cents.

and for the record I'm referring to ecf members being bothered by it not qsmb's members

Call me crabby or whatever, but it's really starting to bother me when people talk about their "right" to post on QSMB. The forum belongs to Fred and he reserves his right as owner of said forum to allow/ban anyone as he sees fit.

I'll call you crabby LOL

The only reason I could think of is because I mentioned snus. But my snus comment on another thread is still there. I don't know. It was just some advice on determining where you are in the vaping progression and what your smoking motivations were and how to use that to determine your best course of weaning.

Unless you mean is there a possibility that I could have lost my mind then yes - that's a definite possibility! :p

I did read the other thread where you mentioned snus, and was concerned that it might be over the line a bit. It's a shame that you would have to walk on eggshells so much there, because you have so much great info to share.

But... the site does appear to have some general wonkiness, so maybe it just post lost your post in question.

I just made my first post in the Cold Turkey forum. I wonder if it will get blasted or received in the spirit in which it's offered.

You didn't say anything that should get you blasted John - it was very well done. :thumb:

Btw has anybody noticed that there seems to be more members posting and not just the usual bunch?

Well, in my defense, the snus comment was in reference to actual scientific research on nicotine and smoking. She insisted that nicotine use and smoking are always and forever one and the same and that is just not scientifically true! I wasn't promoting the use of snus.

Which, now that you mention it, may be the difference. I did suggest Gary consider snus as an option, depending upon his reasons for weaning...

It would be nice, if they delete your post, to give you some kind of warning or reason, though! :(
