yea x karen.

A "frequently asked questions" section sounds okay but I completely disagree with this idea, especially the "what we are about" part. Not everyone on this forum has the same views so there is no "we" in that respect.

I also feel that there are already a couple of people on this forum that feel it is their place to say what should or should not be said here but they are not moderators.

Freedom of speech and all!

jaymz ... what do you mean "guidelines for our forum"?

I agree!

I also think it would be great to list several links to web pages for them to read and research on their own. Even in the short time i have been on this forum it truly saddens me to see so many trying to jump into this without really knowing what they are getting into.

I just checked the FAQ section and it seems that it is definitely lacking for guidelines and answers to frequently asked questions.
It would be great for people not in the know to have some sort of guidelines before attempting a water only fast.

I just clicked on "I agree" we ought to make use of that feature more often, says I.

yay! the beauty of "I agree" is that there's also an "I disagree", so now it becomes clear one person agrees, (that was me) and one, (at least) disagrees.

You can't really tell how many disagree, but you can see at least one does, by the
word "persons".



Anyway: guidelines. I don't see it as squelching people's freedom, as some evidently do. It's always a contentious issue, and I recall all sorts of discussion about it on the Master Cleanse Forum , where people are always showing up who want to do their own version of the MC...and the 'MC masters', who've been doing it a long time and have taken on the mantel of being experts, feel called upon to repeat *what The Master Cleanse is* and why it makes sense to do it "by the book" (or at least read the book!!!!),how the SWF (Salt-Water-Flush) works, and why, etc. etc.


I'll leave it up to others to come to some consensus. (My experience is, this discussion can take a lot of time and energy, and cause bad feelings.) One thing
that might be worth remembering is, there's always room on curezone for all sorts of offshoot groups, if folks feel this forum is too dominated by 'the old school'.
This is though, the "water fasting" forum, just as the Master-Cleanse forum is the Master-Cleanse forum.
--and there is a "fasting" forum, that seems to encourage much more support for issues outside the scope of "water fasting".

Chris -and his story- might not be known to some people who are posting here. If he's not, all the more reason for a FAQ. It would speak (volumes) for itself.

I kinda like curezone because it is so liberal. However I can't see any harm in having some kind of FAQ somewhere that people could be pointed to. It would save us a lot of time. In fact the forum is already geared up to that now, but you have to know how to use it. Most people don't know. And it's not complete, for example "how much a day can I lose?" is not in the FAQ.

Regarding any other websites, I think it's a benefit for curezone, if their purpose is to direct members here. In the commercial world, such traffic would normally have to be bought by paying commission or a referral fee, so any external links that recommend this forum are something for nothing, and merely reflect what high esteem this forum is held in.
