I notice a little war brewing further down this thread!.......... it is Nittis thread and i think its best if i leave it to him to deal with BUT!..... i am on patrol and if it gets much hotter in here i will be handing out some tickets........ if you guys want to have a dust off take it to fkn PM before it becomes a board problem and i have no choice but to step in.

Damn Nitti! Never seen a thread explode so fast. A lot of good ideas with most being along the same lines and I'm not necessarily disagreeing but perhaps we need to consider other factors. For example, most of the recommendations assume that the Boss created Eroids as a Not-for-Profit or out of his love for all things AAS. I am almost certain that's not the case unless he is very rich and has a lot of spare time. Eroids is a business whose goal is to make money for the owner. It does this by providing value to the members and sources with the key being the sources because they pay the bills, NOT us. First and foremost it is a steroid review site that just happens to have a vibrant community of mostly knowledgeable members that offer advice. That aspect is what makes Eroids stand above other forums but again that does NOT pay the bills.

Sources pay the bills. Sources love gear pics or selfies from members that have a nice physique and link their pics to the source. These pics = sales which results in happy sources, more sources on eroids and therefore more money.

Compared to other sites, nothing comes close to Eroids. That's why we are here. No system is perfect. Never will be. It's always a work in progress.

I'll leave with this. The Boss seems like a very smart man to me. I would guess that the system as it's currently designed wasn't done by accident or without a heck of a lot of thought. Perhaps we instead need to work within the system and let the Mods deal with abuse.

I really don't understand where anyone gets the time to come up so fast. i see a couple guys that started the same monnth that i did, have advanced tags and over 300 upvotes. i got a lot of mine from gearpics but you woulx have to understand that at the same time i found this place i had the most financially successful period in my life. so all the new access and srcs to choose from, i was goin around the place like a little kid in a toystore. over the last 2 months i havnt really been ordering anything or posting gearpics though so i think its getting evened out. it will be that for a while cause I'm probably stocked for the next 2 years, much of it i may never use. i do post in forums, but I'm not really comfortable giving advice so its mostly selfish posts when i need a question.answered or a worry alleviated. So i have 140 karma points, 40 upvotes and 9 downvotes i think. downvotes are either spam mostly and a few got my gear gtg reviews. i have seen guys that started 5-6 months ago, same as me with adv tags near 350 upvotes and as many downvotes as me. I'm not knocking anyone just wonderingg where the time comes from. i love to read thru archives there is a lot to learn in forums, all of them. i spend several hrs a day on this site one way or the other, i think i wanna be morree advanced before i have an adv tag tho.

Award points for giving good advice and donating their time to the forums. Other than that, you get to post a single self shot post (you can put multiple pics in a single post so all the silly "Monday I post my legs , Tuesday my guns" , etc. is out the window) per month
And a gear pic that is attached to your 1 review per order. All open for karma as some reviews/pics are better than others.
Putting a cap on karma in pics is good in theory. But think about it. What if you post a pic of a very important concern and show that concern in the pic. Like a pube floating in a bottle. That is a pretty important pic and I would want to know where that came from. It's valuable to us all. But there is a cap on karma. So you get the same 3 points (or whatever) that the guy who posted his single bottle of test p. Is that fair? Or do you think the person with the helpful, informative pic/review is deserving of a little more? Is just my opinion but I'm just a manly girl with a tucked panty sausage in my progress pic. What do I know.

Ok not sure where all this stuff is coming from. I can only read this shit on my phone but I see a lot of personal attacks from low ranking members against someone that has helped me a lot. As in low ranking I mean just started an account yes. Wtf. I can't keep up with all the bullshit with members being banned and stuff. Or haven't been here long enough to see trends. I think it's bs. I haven't been here long but I can see people have personal adgendas or vendettas against someone. Make up a lot of accounts and attack. Get a life. Get to Fuck.
