To maintain a smooth flow of conversation, our moderators may not approve every message shared if it doesn't align with the ongoing discussion. This ensures that conversations remain focused and the group atmosphere remains supportive rather than overwhelming. Note that we aim to keep our groups as recovery focused as possible, with the eating disorder always being at the centre of our conversations.
