Ok, so after a bit of thought and seeing a few people having posted pics on the EBC I have come to realise that perhaps there should be a few steps before being labeled as an ADV member on eroids. There are guys with the ADV tag that have honestly never even done a cycle, yet they are freely handing out advice to other members on the board. All they are doing is regurgitating info they have read on hear or elsewhere and passing it off as gosspel. You need actual experience to really know what you are talking about. Experience comes from doing what others are reading and thinking about.

I realise that the rep points goes to some degree of senioriry on this site however it should not be the main factor as to wheather or not the member is ADV or not. Perhaps a few extra categories could be put in place. Example after NEW perhaps Rookie then Intermediate then Advanced and then ultimately Expert. Now I realise that this may be quite hard to work out in the begining. But I feel this may be a better way to gauge who you are receiving advice from. As part of your sign up it could be mandatory to place pics of yourself in your profile with your training history and such. The level that you move to does not necisarily have to go in order from lowest to highest depending on the level of person that has recently joined the forum.

Imagine if someone from this site was telling say Dorian that he needs to read the rules of the forum and as such they Neg him 2 points and this comes from a person that weighs as much as his forearm used to. So thats my 0.02 worth.
