An online shopping & health resource for plus-size people.

" Hi Hayley

That website looks good. However I see that you have written in the Diets and Weight Maintenance group in your intro that you work for "an online health resource for plus-size people" - which I assume is this 100percentpeople thing. I hope you can understand why advertising is not allowed here. This is a support group and there are vulnerable people on here, it is not for making money. If you genuinely have experience of weight gain or loss and want to post about that, this is what DS is for. I am sure you meant well posting this and it looks like a good resource from a quick glance. But if you do work for this company I think it is a little dishonest writing that "they believe..." rather than "we believe..." especially since in this group you have not been as honest about saying you work for this company. I don't want to offend you but I am not sure about this post. I hope you understand my reservations. "

" Dear Lizzie,

Yes I do work for 100% People and after coming across Daily Strength I thought that the members of this site may benefit from knowing about us and what we do.

The above copy was actually copy and pasted from some promotional text.

I was merely passing on the information.

100% People do not charge visitors for the use of the website, membership is free, and the little money that is made through affiliate advertising only covers the overheads and administration costs.

I apologise if my discussion post comes across as an advertisement preying on vulnerable people- this was not my intention at all.

Hayley "

Thanks for replying. I hope I didn't offend you. But sometimes we get some pretty weird characters here. The website looks great. "
