We are no longer going to have a thread dedicated to weight discussions. We found that, despite having specific rules for discussion and ongoing moderation, the thread kept going off topic with prohibited discussion of medical advice and unpleasant disagreements between members.
We do not find that this topic contributes positively to discussion at the Fashion Spot.
The rule prohibiting weight discussion in all areas of the forums is still in effect.
A note from the Moderators:
tFS weight discussion guidelines were created to encourage a more constructive and mature discourse regarding weight issues as they relate to fashion, models and celebrities. Prior to our weight discussion guidelines, celebrity style threads were completely derailed by weight comments and the actual style discussion was lost. This is a problem considering we're a fashion focused forum. Moreover, we had numerous members posting pro-ED comments and photos. We have a lot of young members at tFS who may be negatively influenced by such ideas. By creating a single forum to discuss weight issues, we can easily monitor such discussion.
Previous weight threads have allowed the discussion of personal weight issues. Despite our best attempts and guidelines to the contrary, extreme personal issues, misinformation, and diet and medical advice were continually present. In order to refocus discussion toward more fashion industry related issues, personal issues will no longer be allowed. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation.

Moderator's Note:
- In order to improve site performance, long threads that are draining our loading time will be closed and we are going to be periodically starting new threads. This should help pages load faster.
- Please remember that not everyone is on a fast connection, or has a large screen, and keep your picture sizes to 800 pixels or less in the largest dimension. This will also help with page load speed.
- Please refrain from posting the same images as contained in the archived threads (eg in the old closed thread).
- Please stay on topic!
- Please do not power post eg make empty posts with no Info/questions/Images - Empty posts cause threads to grow rapidly and is a nuisance to those who subscribe to many threads. Please take any private conversations to PMs or Profile Comments.
