For anyone that is not aware of the feature, the Discourse app offers a “Flag” function that can be done by any user.
This is TR’s preferred option if you see a comment that potentially violates the TrainerRoad guidelines. They review all flagged comments and respond appropriately.
I feel that the few rules omit the obligation to respect groups. Yes, these are just collections of individuals, but they are regularly seen as “other” and thus open to abuse. Perhaps the guidance needs to be strengthened or clarified. In the absence of such, I feel it is a collective responsibility of the forum contributors to challenge such behaviours.
Forum mis-interpretation due to poor writing and/or reading comprehension reminds me of this Key & Peele skit. I’m guilty too…
edit. I think an add will show up sorry.
I would also just like an example. Obviously I have no intention of disparaging any groups, but I consider this a very inclusive and considerate forum compared to the rest of the internet. Therefore, some context would be insightful.
Honestly, that seems a bit benign for a post like this, doesn’t it…? I assumed it was more along the lines of nationality, race, sex, age, or something a bit less, well, insignificant. But who knows, maybe I’m totally misguided.
People posting here who clearly hate TR and/or indoor training
People who think accurate FTP testing is really important
People who, no matter what, think the problem is that your FTP is set too high
Or are you thinking of more broad social targets of prejudice?
