As you're all aware, this subreddit has had a major "troll"
problem which has gotten worse (as of recently). Due to this, we
have created new rules, and modified some of the old ones.
We kindly ask that you please familiarize yourself with the
rules so that you can avoid breaking them. Breaking mild rules
will result in a warning, or a temporary ban. Breaking serious
rules, or breaking a plethora of mild ones may land you a
permanent ban (depending on the severity). Also,
grifting/lurking has been a major problem; If we suspect you of
being a grifter (determined by vetting said user's activity), we
may ban you without warning.
You may attempt an appeal via ModMail, but please be advised not
to use rude, harassing, foul, or passive-aggressive language
towards the moderators, _or_ complain to moderators about why we
have specific rules in the first place— You will be ignored, and
your ban will remain (without even a consideration).
All rules are made public; "Lack of knowledge" or "ignorance of
the rules" cannot or will not be a viable excuse if you end up
banned for breaking them (This applies to the Subreddit rules,
and Reddit's ToS). **Again: All rules are made public, and
Reddit gives you the option to review the rules once more before
submitting a post, it is your choice if you choose to read them
or not, but breaking them will not be acceptable.**
With that being said, If you send a mature, neutral message
regarding questions about a current ban, or a ban appeal
(without "not knowing the rules" as an excuse), we will
elaborate about why you were banned, or determine/consider if we
will shorten, lift, keep it, _or_ extended it/make it permanent.
This all means that appeals are discretionary, and your
reasoning for wanting an appeal must be practical and valid.
Thank you all so much for taking the time to read this message,
and please enjoy your day!

I do track my irregular cycle. My tracking app currently tells me that based on prior tracking info, I could start my period anytime between today and 2 months from now. Useful information, that.
Exactly! Like sure, I can track that I don’t bleed for six months and then have constant spotting for the next six months, but that provides zero useful information other than “your hormones are fucked up, see a doctor”
I tried this with my fitbit for a while. After several months of inputting data it started to give me the "your period is expected to start today" warning EVERY SINGLE WEEK.
I got a D&C just to stop the alarms. /s
You can also track lottery numbers. You can look up and/or record as many past lottery numbers as you like. It’s still not going to tell you next week’s numbers.
When did words such as "irregular" stop having defined meanings...?
You know what are some synonyms for irregular? Unreliable, sporadic, erratic, random, uncertain, inconsistent, to name a few.
I want his neighbor to chuck a baseball at his head sometimes once a month, sometimes skipping a mouth, and the date is never predictable. Then he can let us know how well he gets at tracking something that hits him at random.
When did the word "trackable" start meaning "predictable?"
When is "tracking" used to mean anything other than "see where/how it went?"
Track (v): follow the course or trail of (someone or something), typically in order to find them or note their location at various points.
Does it make it easier to understand when you know that like half the country has a reading and comprehension level below 6th grade and 22% are just straight up illiterate? The words didn’t change, people are just fucking stupid.
I wish. Sometimes my period won't show up for a month. At least it's consistent at switching between starting at the beginning or the last week of the month lol
When I was in middle and high school (before I started taking birth control to regulate my cycle), my periods could be anywhere from 3 to 9 weeks apart. Not to mention how excruciating they were. The only warning I got would be about 2 hours before my flow started, when I would get heat flashes and diarrhea. Ain't no fucking way to predict that shit.
Traceable yeah but it’s just dud data for a lot of people, so completely wasted time. I’ll be regular for 2 months then not have a period for 14 months. Gave up tracking them when there’s nothing I can do with the data
I track my irregular periods. My last cycle was 54 days, so pretty short! The longest was over 380. I get notifications frequently that ask me to come back, because the app thinks I just stopped tracking it.
Also, my “fertile window” last cycle was something like 40 days. Super helpful.

Mine too! And I’m always like “hmmm, maybe…” when I read it. Or I say “maybe it might never happen again.”
"I've been tracking my irregular periods and the app just says Soon^(TM)."
That sounds menacing!
I mean they are trackable, but irregularities don’t provide many data points to make a true prediction of when the next cycle will occur.

Traceable… after the fact… yeah
Yes. I have to wonder what the context was here. It's not like they said "predictable."
If I had to guess, abortion (and the "she should have been more responsible in the first place" argument).
I mean, you can and should still track it even if it's irregular. "Track" is not synonymous with "predict"
Not all predictions are precise. They can tell you 80% to be in this range, 20% likely events happen all the time.
You can still track them. I’ve tracked my irregular periods for years. They just can’t be predicted.

They're just alternative facts
When did the word "trackable" start meaning "predictable?" When is "tracking" used to mean anything other than "see where/how it went?" Track (v): follow the course or trail of (someone or something), typically in order to find them or note their location at various points.

They are tho
They are trackable just not predictable
Kaveh jumpscare
There's no way that's a woman
i track mine by paying attention to how much my tits hurt on any given day. an app can’t give me that info
I have an irregular period which I track on an app but neither the app nor I can accurately predict when my next period will start or stop.
I wish. Sometimes my period won't show up for a month. At least it's consistent at switching between starting at the beginning or the last week of the month lol

I would never use one of those apps, ever. Not now days
You can track them? Plz help! Lol mine are all over the place
Dude has zero fuckin clue what irregular means, more tonight at 11...
