Hi CJ, The question that one
Hi CJ,
The question that one of the site members had regarding the moderators ("Why don't the moderators just DELETE these people so they don't annoy the others? Seems like if they're classified as wannarexic then they would be deleted to save all the REAL anorexics some grief...just an idea I dunno…lol...") is really interesting and raised a set of questions for me. On these sites, have you or Dr. Boero seen a lot of appeal to moderators? Is there a consistent role that moderators take across the sites? Do they respond to the appeals, and if so how? Anyhow, I am looking forward to hearing more about all of this. - Dan
