after several trolly types cameinto the group seeking to publicly humiliating and degrade the people of this group, we as a group decided to move into the club groups.

    Charter for
news:alt.discuss.clubs.public.talk.general.fluffynutters

This club group is for people of size to come together in a safe place to talk, laugh, share, and make friends where there is always acceptance of them based upon who they are inside, not the outer shells, in a world that focuses on what we look like.

    Topics of discussion may include, but are not exclusive to,
SSI and Disabilty cases/ benifits,
Dealing with public situations,
Clothing,
Emotional support,
Family,
Health, Products geared toward the obese,
Diet,
Recipes,
Living Life to the fullest,
Medicines,
Nutrition,
Medical treatment,
Tips On how to deal with "normal activities" when you are not able to,
Being fluffy while living in a thin persons world,
Relationships,
Trivia,
Quizes,
Interesting sites,
Links for "causes" (i.e charity, issues of injustice, etc..Use your own judgement, just make sure its not offensive, like no KKK or anti-fluffy websites),
Basic Chitchat,
Sounding off about mis-treatment,
and Living with obesity.

     The rules include:
1-No SPAM,
2-NO FLAMING (i.e attacking, insulting, harrassing or rude behavior towards someone in the group) (this is a BIG issue, since the obese are essentially "flamed" in life),
3-No sexualy graphic or soiliciting posts (this does not include jokes and puns made by the regular posters, use the common sense God gave you in this),
4-No Porn,
5- No solicitation for votes for other news groups,
6-THIS IS NOT A DATING SERVICE! Any personal ad type posts looking for men or women will result in banning! This group is for support and platonic friendship, there are groups for finding dates and this one is NOT it!
7- No degrading of the disabled or the obese.

8-There will be a strict ZERO TOLERENCE policy of "fat jokes", and any source of rudeness or disrespect based on size in this group.

     Violating these rules will result in a permanant ban from posting in the group.

Any poster who comes in and consistantly disrupts the group, causes aggitation or unrest in the group and its members, whether intentional or inadvertantly will be banned, after consulting the clubs members, at the owners discretion.     

 Above all, It should always be kept in mind that the disabled and the obese are feeling, needing, breathing humans, just like anyone else, worthy of love, comfort, peace and respect, and a place to have that on the web.

Responding to rude posts are not needed, Heather will take care of the offender.

Policy on bans:
Heather will not discuss in email nor in the group the reasons for banning nor the ban it self.

Any emails on the issue will be ignored, any rude or abusive emails on the issue will be reported to abuse.
