I think a comparison chart would be a good idea, if they don't already have one. I have been reading almost non stop for a week now. (need to do laundry) I got my first pv the 23rd of December and I haven't smoked since. The point I was trying to make is if I had found this sight first I would still be smoking. No matter what anyone says it is contradicted in the next post. I guess you just have to decde for your self. Good-Bad-Good-Bad-Good-Bad-Maybe! Micki
That seems to be true of all forums. I'm involved with 8 or 10 forums on all different kinds of subjects. You should pay close attention to WHO is posting and how other forum members react to their posts. You will begin to recognize who puts up information that is useful and who posts {complete nonsense}. I realize it is tougher here, since there are so MANY people posting, but even within a few days of reading the forum I have found a few recognizable good posters and a few bad ones. And you can't judge simply by number of posts, either, although that can help. I hope to be eventually recognized as a 'good' poster, but time will tell.
Another forum I frequent has 'buttons' for 'helpful' and 'unhelpful' in each post. They get credited to the posters account, and you can tell by looking whether some particular poster is generally giving useful advice, or {not}. I think this is more useful than a 'like' button for the posts, as you can see the trend on all of their posts rather than the helpfulness or {not} of one particular post.
{} are used to enclose words unfit for general reading.
