My Question for everyone...
If you know of a Club in the area where several people have tested positive for Covid-19, would you like to know which club?
I know of one club but I don't know if it is okay to post on this site.
I don't know if this club is a member here or not but I was told by many people at this Ft. Worth club that several have tested positive. They were all missing from work this week. I guess I should leave it at that so I can stay out of trouble. I will not be going back anytime soon... Originally Posted by LookOutNowI have heard the same about the club in Ft Worth.
Well, the Forum Guidelines say this, but it specifically says "another person's medical condition". It's not clear if it applies to multiple unidentified persons at a particular facility. Yes I would want to know, but my guess is you would be treading on thin ice.That guideline is for members talking about other members and naming their handle associated with the medical speculation. But like all the guidelines of this site, all can be interpreted by a mod how he sees fit.
#15 - Posting about/Speculating about another person's medical condition is strictly forbidden. If a member encounters a medical issue and would like to get feedback from others or share it with the community, this would be allowed, but under no circumstances is a member to discuss or state anything about another member in this regard, unless it is in response to a question posed by that member.

And let's not forget, it is not the opinion expressed, but the member expressing the opinion that is the key on mod action/inaction.
So, which is it? Another person or another member? As you say, I think it depends on the mod's interpretation at the time. That's why I said I think posting about the club would be skating on thin ice, because who knows how a mod would interpret it? That is, assuming you've seen a mod around these parts lately. In past times, I've seen guys avoid discussing AMP girls for fear of violating this rule, and would only give details by PM. I'm pretty sure the AMP girls are not members here, or they may be but they don't want to be identified as such. I don't recall if anyone ran afoul of the rule by discussing such a case.
If it were me, I might be inclined to go ahead and name the club but not name any individuals. But I wouldn't miss this site for a short vacation anyway. It's not all that useful any more. Maybe I could use the time I spend here more productively.
*Edit* By the way, I've been thinking lately about going back to my favorite club and checking out how things are, but technically I'm sure I fall into the high risk group being over a certain age and having certain underlying conditions (although they are well under control). I feel perfectly healthy and active, so it's hard to convince myself I need to stay away, but it's probably best for me to wait a while. Originally Posted by billw1032
If you are old and unhealthy. Stay home. I have 2 hobbyist friends hospitalized w Covid. This shit is real...Conversely, even if you are healthy, everyone knows the risks by now. We need to open society and get back to living!
Been to 2 clubs since reopening and it's business as usual. At Bucks Dallas, they took away bar stools at the bar. It's only noticeable difference. Lodge VIP is same. Originally Posted by Shep3.0
