Formatting of people threads


I have found that some threads are very hard to read especially in the beginner section. I am wondering if we can come up with some kind of standard format for adressing the problems instead of huge unorganized paragraphs. If anybody besides myself is considering some kind of standard formatting of threads let's discuss it here.

I moved this here because this is where we discuss desired changes and such to this site.

What kind of suggestions did you have in mind?

You suggesting that we ask newbs to post in a format like:

Sex - ('No thanks I'm dead' - Peter Griffin rules)
Height...
Weight...
Age...
Typical day diet...
Present workout...
Goals...

?

Something like that and also people try to keep their paragrpahs clean. No offense to tower but check out how some of his paragraphs are formatted. I think people should try to use stuff they learned in english class as much as possible.

It sure would be nice if we all had great communication skills, but I expect that that trying to enforce (or even successfully encourage) quality presentation is probably futile. I do like the idea of suggesting a standardized format for a personal profile format, as noted above.

Well, I don't think you could successfully enforce something like that, but it would be nice if people just did it anyway.

What I would like to see a profile feature, like maybe when you click on their name for example, that would list their height, weight, sex, age, etc. so people wouldn't have to continuously remind people of their stats when asking diet related questions and such.
