Well its been awhile since I posted and I have a few different post im going to do , so lets start with this one. Lately ive noticed a lot of new adv tags and exp tags, i've also noticed that not many of these new members do a lot of work in the trenches and some of them don't have a lot of the knowledge youd expect an adv tag or an exp tag to have. For example ive seen posts from adv tags/exp tags that have to do with with common knowledge like your blood pressure and what will make it raise and how to bring it back down , to me that's common sense, or posting about sources in the open forums, giving advice on compounds they themselves have never used. Now im not talking about advice like hey don't use tren on your first and second cycle but shit that you would have to know from personal experience, like proper prolactin control aka caber dosages and such and knowing that every one is different and their dosages might not be the same as the next person but how to know when to up the dose or lower it which only comes from experience , or using more then 1 new compound at a time which ive seen a few do. I just know that many on here look up to these guys and girls for advice , but when they haven't earned their karma in the trenches or been in the trenches flexing their knowledge and trying to teach others, and all the have is a bunch of pics of gear selfies then why should they be able to sport these tags if time and time again they continue to prove they are not able to be respectful member who has the knowledge and deserves the tag , who contributes whenever they can. What I also see is a lot of guys abusing their tags trying to get deals on gear , or other low ranking members feel intimidated by them because of some of their actions. Now in my eyes you don't have to be a gear guru , but have some level of expertise if you sport the tag , like maybe your strong point is diet and nutrition , carb loading, depleting , carb cycling etc, or maybe your expertise is training, maybe you compete , maybe a personal trainer in real life. All im saying is act like someone who truly deserves the title that you have, because there are plenty of new members that come on and see your tag and expect you to know your shit and act like a responsible member. It just seems as of lately a lot of things are changing here , and not for the better. This site is a tool for people to have knowledge at their finger tips, to know how to spot scammers, to get a few different peoples opinions on their cycle, diet and training, to know how to spot fakes, to recognize side effects from bunk pct meds , I could go on and on about this but I shouldn't have to. It just sucks to see a site that has helped me and many others going down the shitter, and theres only so much the mods and bfg can do its up to us to weed out nonsense its up to us members to steer the bus in the right direction not all over the road because people cant work together.
