Once again, Flagging non-vios is flagging abuse...

...and is against the Community Guidelines. You cannot flag a post because: -You disagree with it -You don't like it -You become butthurt by it -You are offended by it -You think it is "harsh," "mean," or "rude" -There is no name calling, personal attacks (and no, telling someone their idea sucks...

...and is against the Community Guidelines.

You cannot flag a post because:

-You disagree with it

-You don't like it

-You become butthurt by it

-You are offended by it

-You think it is "harsh," "mean," or "rude"

-There is no name calling, personal attacks (and no, telling someone their idea sucks does not qualify), stalking, etc

Posts to flag:

-Advertising

-Posts that include name calling (again, as the Mods have stated many times, calling an IDEA stupid is okay, calling a PERSON stupid is NOT!)

-posts that are personal attacks

-posts that tell someone not to post/how to post

-posts that tell people to leave

-"Bye Felicia" posts, UNLESS they are directed to someone who has announced they are leaving

-posts that announce the person is leaving

Flagging non-vio posts is a strikeable offense, so keep that in mind.

Regulars: Feel free to email mods at community@weddingwire.com about the unreasonable flags, as they CAN see who has done the flagging and take action, esp. on serials.

    Mobile sucks because I can't see that a comment was flagged or hidden. It's just not there.

    I don't believe I saw her call anyone a "fatty" I read that she called you "grabby" and "alcoholic" but not fatties.

    And frankly, in my opinion, she makes a very valid point that I whole heatedly agree with. Now I cannot speak about the flagging issue. I don't understand why that aspect of this conversation matters.

    I'm wondering if the disconnect here is that some people aren't understanding that the wedding is for the couple and the reception is literally to thank the guests for coming. "It's my day" is true in the aspect that everyone is there to honor, love, and support you and your spouse. It's not true when you want to walk all over your loved ones. Just because they say they don't mind and will let you, doesn't mean you should.

    Yes, she did use the word 'fatties' in a sentence. And chastised the posters here because they give advice to anyone who thinks a salad and a glass of water is an inappropriate wedding meal.

    If that's so appropriate, maybe she should serve that too. You know, in solidarity with those she feels qualified to speak for and against.

    The fatties comment must have been posted in a separate comment. The post that Beatrice posted did not include the use of the word fatties. I think her point was that we are all very fortunate and that we shouldn't look down on each other think we're better than others. Some people truly do the best they can. I don't believe they should be chastised because they didn't meet a society standard. At our wedding we provided beer, water, and lemonade as far as drinks went. I'm sure a lot of people on here would say that I mistreated my guests, but it was truly all I could afford.

    @Mrs. Spenc -you missed an entire thread and now you are trying to gain insight from a couple of screenshots. Good luck with that! Also, you are one of the first to become anally agitated and white knight all over the place.

    @MrsSpenc - There are many budgets across WW. And we all do the best that we can, while taking care of our guests. It is how some people present themselves on here that is tacky. It is not meeting "a society standard," it is being a gracious host. There are things that should come along with being a good host - whether it be at your house or at our wedding - and when special snowflakes come here thinking that their situation is different, they will be told about it by WW members.

    Also, speaking generally to newer members, their ignorance of "hot topics" and questions that have been asked/answered many times can wear on active members. This is where/when the user is encouraged to "lurk" for a while. This is when you begin to understand how WW "works" and you get to learn a lot of the members' personalities.

    There is also the issue of passive/aggressive comments, arguing that the rest of WW "doesn't know" what is best for the poster, and a lack of being humble that causes uproar on the forum. I will be the first to admit that I said/asked some stupid things when I first joined WW. And I was told about it. However, I took what was said to me and thought about it. I did not argue my point. I did not say "It's my day" and stomp my feet because nobody agreed with me. I stepped back, looked at the forum a while, then made my proper introduction and joined the discussion.

    I'm not trying to white knight anything. I'm simply suggesting what her thought process may have been.
