What's LMAO mean?

Can we start a menopause thread if we promise to whisper?

daisy65

LMAO- Laugh My !!! Off
Yes pretty please we wil keep it down to a dull roar, please reinstate my thread.

choille

Well you could start a new thread and call it something coded.

daisy65

Hmmm thats an idea, although i did swear never to post any more threads on here again, im just reading stuff on a certain menopause website at the mo without wondering if i'm going to get slapped legs for anything i may post

choille

I need info.

I really think that we should have a thread on this.

daisy65

I agree, its a normal part of life i'm suffering like mad here until the hrt kicks in but cant say anything because it will get deleted.
You start one? ive reported to abuse but they wont give me a straight answer to my question so whats the point?

Absolutley crazy, we all need each other's support. xx

choille

Okay - I'll start one.

daisy65

Locked again!

Hi

the second poster in this thread provided a link to a post by Martin (the owner of the site) explaining the rules of this board, part of which I'll quote here but please read the whole post

MSE_Martin wrote: »

What it is for

This board is a discussion of all issues surrounding health, diet, nutrition and how they relate to MoneySaving. Discussing medical insurance policies, cheaper ways to see consultants, cashback for alternative health treatments, how to get specific medication cheaper (legally) are all perfectly acceptable forms of discussion.

What it is not for

It is very specifically and strictly not for the discussion of what to do in the event of certain medical problems. Please do not ask questions about this. If you're having problems use facilities such as NHS direct and your doctor to go and talk through what you should do.

Martin

basically it's a board for threads about moneysaving and he also states it is not for the discussion of certain medical problems

just to try and answer a few other points in this thread

the menopause threads were not about moneysaving (so if posted anywhere on MSE they should have been in the arms or DT) and some of the answers were giving medical advice

a lot of posts in this thread have said no explanation is given but when I close a thread that breaks the rules of the health board, instead of just deleting it I leave the OP and then post the standard phrase written by Martin, I do this so the OP knows why I've had to close their thread

MSE is a privately owned site no one 'owns' a thread here and there is no right to 'free speech'
the family, health and pet boards are moneysaving boards, the arms and DT are for non moneysaving chat

boards go through phases and also MSE continues to grow and get more popular, so sometimes there does seem to be a clutch of threads on similair lines and therefore a few will be closed all at the same time
