Health / Fitness / Gym Channel (Discord) - jax - 08-03-2021
Not sure why we don’t already have one, but I think a health / fitness / gym discord channel would be a good idea.

There was one, but it got removed because the topic declined rapidly.
RE: Health / Fitness / Gym Channel (Discord) - Jammin - 08-03-2021
It got archived due to rampant toxicity. This is well before covid hit.
I am all for bringing it back but it'll be under stricter rules than the last to avoid it growing toxic again.
@jax what kind of content are you looking to see? Like posting gym reps, cardio times, etc?

If you remember quantum community gym channel, that, but probably a little stricter.

As for the wellness portion, that can be anything from diet/food/lifestyle changes, etc.
What type of “toxicity” was occurring?

@Jammin gimmegimmegimmegimmegimmegimmegimmegimmegimmegimmegimmegimmegimme. it'll be like 6 of us in there anyway. is there any chance we can whitelist it so only certain individuals can join? randoms/people who randomly join the discord wouldn't be able to look into the channel to see videos/pictures of individuals. we can make sure there are no creeps.

Bring back health and wellness, was yeeted instead of the shitposters smh
RE: Health / Fitness / Gym Channel (Discord) - Jammin - 08-03-2021
The posting pictures/selfies is the main issue I see right now but I like everything else. Possibly will be rolled out with a whitelist/18+ requirement initially.
I'm not sure what the toxicity entails, but it appeared to divulge into arguing/bickering when it was finally archived. I don't anticipate this being an issue with the proper policies in place

If selfie’s are the main concern, I’m fine abstaining from that until we get a whitelist 18+ system going. That being said, I think progress pictures on any lifting / fitness forum is a big part of said forum. As long as there’s no sexualizing, I don’t see why it would be a problem. Anyone who makes creepy comments etc == ban. Not to mention the fact people can just go to the beach and see the same thing. But honestly, not a Hill I’m going to die on because I don’t really mind leaving that out for the sake of privacy / being safe given the history of some people on the server.
@Jammin Another option could be making the channel locked, unless you explicitly ask for it or whitelisted for it via a role.

Great suggestion Jax!
