Tell us how your Weight Loss Injections and Treatments community works

[Eleanoratmumsnet]

What should a new joiner know about this community?

Tell us about the tone, how people support one another, and any unwritten rules, customs, or in-jokes that help make this community what it is.

Reply to this thread to share your thoughts.

Do you mean through threads on here in the WLI section or out there in online or RL communities outside MN?

Yes, agree with @MargoLivebetter that it's not clear what you mean. Can I also ask why you want people to comment on this - what are you going to do with the comments?

Hi @MargoLivebetter @SilenceInside thank you for your replies, and sorry if the original post was unclear.

We’re exploring whether a Topic Guide could help new joiners quickly understand how this topic works and find their feet, while protecting the established tone and sense of community that existing users value.

We’d love to hear your thoughts.

For this particular section, it would be useful to be clear that discount or referral codes for weight loss are not allowed to be posted and will be deleted.

The tone, customs, unwritten rules and in-jokes totally depend on the culture of specific support threads, not sure that I could generalise about that.

Thank you for this @SilenceInside

Ah, ok. I'm probably not best placed to answer, as I was a starter in August 25 and the thread I was on was supportive and really helpful. I don't think it needed any guidance, but it maybe it is different on other threads - I haven't looked. I think it may still be up and running. Amazing poster called @blondeshavemorefun ran it and I think still does.

I kind of maintain (for want of a better word!) a maintenance thread these days and again I'm not sure what kind of guidance would be helpful, as everyone seems really friendly and good spirited. I'm not sure if there are other such threads though and if maybe they need guidance.

Other than the kind of guidance you give generally, I'm not sure what you would specifically say that is specific to WLI, but again, for all I know there could be mad trolling on some of the threads! I agree with @SilenceInside that reminding posters not to post about discount codes needs to be clear.

I think it’s very supportive and very experienced members, who are willing to advise and help, but misinformation will be corrected, as there does appear a small contingent of folks who post scare mongering and made up erroneous stuff then take issue when corrected. Any question is welcome but using the search function is always a good idea,
