+ 11 Karma Karma Karma its poison and I dont want it

ad

how do I get more
please check to see if someone downvoted me
please give me some karma
please dont take my karma
im so sorry i wont do it again, JUST DONT TAKE MY KARMA PLEASE
MODs are on a power trip
took my karma for nothing
MODs got a hard on for me
I posted a pic and didnt get no karma
i write reviews and no one gives me karma

so many times users have got a bunch of karma and think they are the shit, untouchable, can tell MODs what to do. I dont know how many people on this site have been banned after getting some karma and breaking rule after rule, started treating people like shit cause they got a tag.

Karma is poison to this site, it makes me sick that people think its worth so much. im tired of the whining, crying, manipulation, lying, dealing, promoting sources, repping, karma bumping clicks, and every other fucking thing that shit promotes. its just a fucking number next to your name! it doesnt make anything more then you are!

I just donated 2118 points to the site, the shit makes me feel like we working against everything were trying to do here, it damn sure isnt making for a safer site. the bads out weigh the goods, all we see is corruption from it.

Im sick of it. I hope we find something better as a site cause this is killing us!

yeah your right these kind of posts will get you banned. if you like battle.net go over there! this is not the first time you have come on the radar for starting problems, but it wont take much more to get deleted. its your choice.

Not sure what I've done to piss you off. Usually you have been a fairly laid back guy. But lately your "wit" has been biting and aggressive. I hope everything's alright for you on the home front.

Roid Noid's picture

I would rather lead by the example that karma doesnt make a user attractive!

Nitti's picture

We are trying. You have any ideas?

Anyone could just google everything and sound like an expert.

Not necessarily. The questions have to be sharp and on point. But they can be made so that you can't answer them with Google. But point taken. We have been brainstorming this and hitting road blocks. Partially because it will be a shit ton of work to readjust things for Bfg

how about no more promos based on karma and no more promos asking for reviews? if a source wants to run a promo exclusively for former customers that would be fine but otherwise they should just be open to everyone or at least everyone that has been on eroids for at least 6 months or something. i think that would cut down on a lot of the karma whoring around here and people would be a lot less interested in racking up these otherwise worthless points next to our names.

Roid Noid's picture

I didnt feel like I was an expert either, advanced I would agree with for me too.

Catalyst's picture

I think that applies to the majority of us. In reality I'd suggest there's less than a handful of people on here I would consider an expert in AAS.

Pale's picture

In a way we already have a tag for the true experts. The Guru tag. Lets face it, compared to the rest of the population outside of eroids we are about as expert in AAS as it gets. The world of mortals knows nothing other than what they hear on the news.

Roid Noid's picture

nah i think my bones are just heavier then others.

growthman's picture

I dont really know about any corruption but when a person who's invested a bit of time over the last three years in sharing honest reviews of sources, sharing honest experiences that I've encountered over my 10+years of AAS usage, etc., accidentally makes an honest mistake by breaking a rule, and without warning goes from a karma of 12 to 3 what sucks now is that person is not really able to participate in certain promos. I could understand if someone were to trespass against the site doing the same thing over again continuously breaking the rules with ill intentions but arent you playing into the very thing you seem to hate by taking karma? Arent sources playing into the karma by requiring this karma stuff? Otherwise I agree and could care less.

for me, karma is associated with doing the right thing. it shouldn't ever become about a traded commodity. way to lead Noid, I'd follow you into combat...

I have to say I agree noid.I have been here for a few years and have low karma points and i am completely happy with that.Im sure if i felt the need to bump up the numbers i could spend all my free time which is minimal, on here writing something to help someone out and possibly boosting karma points.But essentially that would keep me from earning "True Real World Karma".I mean who would be helping the old Lady cross the street?Whom would be rescuing lost dogs and cats?Alright I wont go that far but seriously In my personal Life I try to help someone everyday with something that of which I am able to.Family,Friends,Coworkers someone somewhere may need something and if i can help at all , then I am there.That is why i referred to it as True Real World Karma.That is what is really important in the overall grand scheme of things.Not "Karma Points" just a silly little number next to a fake ass screenname i made up for a virtual site in the digital age."It All Comes Back To You,You're Gonna Get What You Deserve!Try And Test That,You're Bound To Get Served!"I know those are lyrics from an old Sublime Song,but it is true and it is Universal.Words to Live By in my opinion.
These issues with "Karma Points" are many and are complex to rectify.Take for example simple Downvoting for instance.In some cases it is necessary.In others its merely someone whom doesnt agree with what the author may be stating.I mean that is comparable to an individual going about their life everyday and starting an argument with every individual that they are not in agreement with."Karma Points" have evolved to a commodity within this site.Almost as a form of currency in an unintended perverse way .Just like having a large amount of currency in the non digital world isnt necessarily a bad or negative thing , i believe it is what the individual decides to use it for determines if its good or bad.
These issues with "KARMA POINTS" are much deeper than the simple things I have mentioned here.Just like many issues within our society it is my opinion that It is very difficult to legislate human mentality.If something is there that exists , that can be used, exploited etc, there will be some human somewhere ready and willing to do just that.But this is merely my opinion so take it for what its worth.If I woke up tomorrow and all "Karma Points" were removed or abolished I surely would not lose any sleep at all.I would still go about my day helping someone in real life whenever i could.What ever happened to people helping people without earning something in return for doing what everyone should be doing already without saying???

I would like to see the karma for pictures go away. Personally I would post more pictures if there was no karma, I'm uneasy posting now because people have made it such an issue. I do not want karma, I just wanna show off! Lol

PIN_CUSHION's picture

Oh you done fucked up now. No more free gear for you. How am I supposed to take you serious now? I only take advice from ADV/EXP members. 13 Karma? You can't even up vote or down vote. No more sucking your nuts for bumps. Gotta find a new member to buddy bump.

Amen! I do have to say it looks weird to see that little six next to your name...I don't stress about karma anymore, I guess I have come to accept the terms. Karma won't make or break you!! If you have been on this site more than 3 months you know who you can go to for advice!! It is what it is though, I don't get mad about it anymore.

Good question............... and if we could stomp on all this fkn corruption it would free me up to resume the role i used to play here doing what i do best!......... getting you fkers swoled up Smile

It is the members faults (not all members)... why some of us have had to be pigeon holed.

irongame427's picture

Please do that I came to this site to learn from guys like you and others who dont even speak.

VIKING EVOLUTION's picture

you got 6 already....... lmao!

I just thought about zeroing myself just to stand proud with you but then i thought..... "what the fuck i am i thinking about"..... 0 karma is not the answer to kill corruption here, the fuckers are corrupt before they even enter our house!... the karma issues listed above that we regularly get through PM will now just be ignored by me in future.

Unfortunately we have attracted fkn lots of criminal types lately because eroids is so well know on the web as being the "free gear site"..... so naturally here is the place they come to in their droves.

The funniest part of it all to me is that these fkers are queuing up for free gear which is of the worst fkn quality on the planet in most cases... Talcum powder d/bol..... Baking soda anavar etc etc etc...... LMFAO!!.

Quality of recent posts tells this tale also...... "help! i have PIP" "help!.. i have the shits!"....... no wonder with the fkn amount of pure rubbish shit they are piling into their bodies without a single clue what really good gear looks, smells like,tastes, etc etc.

You do a hell of a job on eroids brother!... please do not allow these fuckers to grind you down, you stood by me while i was having second thoughts about staying here!..... this is my way of offering you some support :))

I appreciate that brother, I really do. Im not asking anybody to follow me. this is just how I feel....In addition to all the problems karma cause's on this site, there is other things that bothers me about my karma.....like for example, of the 2100 that i had, more then half of it came from doing MOD stuff, not from any experience related to the tag of experienced. That makes ME feel wrong in representing that number, in essence doing my JOB gives me many more options to get karma then regular members, and when I preach things like integrity to the site it makes me feel like im not being honest myself....Also when im running around scolding people for karma related issues, yet sitting on 2100 myself, it makes ME feel like im defeating the purpose...This is just me, I feel much better without that number. As a representative of the site this is how I feel I should be.....it has nothing to do with people grinding on me, just what i believe in.

2100 that i had, more then half of it came from doing MOD stuff

Same here. Makes me feel dirty

Catalyst's picture

You're a top lad Noid and you always put this place before yourself, I truly respect that.

irongame427's picture

Youre a good dude. Respect.

Pale's picture

X2 that was deep. What about a complete site wide reset of everybody? It will be fun working our way back up.

Roid Noid's picture

Im not gonna reset peoples karma.

It will be fun working our way back up

im also not interested in working my way back up. I just simply dont want it anymore. I dont believe its good for the site and I have no interest in promoting it any longer.

Dickkhead's picture

How bout this bro? The moment I accept a "bribe, kickback or payoff" (from Back to School) or get some of this free gear I keep hearing about that I'm not supposed to get, you can reset my karma to 0 or permaban me.

WINNING's picture

.. 0 karma is not the answer to kill corruption here, the fuckers are corrupt before they even enter our house!..

Truth!!!

Roid Noid's picture

sure it will not kill all the corruption here, but the vast majority of it. Most of these things that happen here behind karma are from people coming here AND THEN REALIZING that with karma they can be corrupt or MORE corrupt. Plenty of them show up here without the knowledge of how karma works or what can be done with it. ITS THE SITE, THE MEMBERS AND THE SOURCES THAT TEACHES THEM to obtain more karma.

a different system needs to be put in place to get that tag.

something that proves you have the knowledge associated with the tag, not just some knowledge on one thing, not just cause you got great genetics and dont know shit, not just cause your funny, not cause you spend 15 hours a day on the site. Something that shows you got knowledge.

like put together a test of 50 questions, covering different compounds, Ai's, SERM, PCT, Nutrition, Vitamins, peptides, HGH, training, blood tests, and things that are relevant to the success of goals. Based on that test score you get a tag, you can only take the test once a year, set up 3 guys to score the tests and administer the associated tag.

Something that has REAL legitimacy in what you know....keep the karma as a means of how active you are and thats it. you can get karma for any damn thing you want then, because it doesnt effect your tag. you can have 20,000 karma with a basic knowledge tag if you cant get some questions on the test right.

at that point, people might actually study and try to learn in hopes of getting a better tag because there is no other way to get it. Sources can start offering promos based on tag and karma if they want, but the tag of experience will mean more.

Something has to change, it almost did awhile back, I remember a discussion with BFG in the MOD forum where it almost got yanked a couple years ago. and nothing has gotten better since then.

irongame427's picture

The test idea is great I'm all for that.
