+ 1 New member etiquette
Hi y’all I’m a fresh newbie here. I came here because I love armwrestling and know that 90 percent of the top pros are on some sort of gear so I wanted to learn what it’s all about. After reading a few forums I’ve seen these new guys making some major mistakes that everyone jumped on. Anyway I was in another forum and saw A few people arguing and one came up with a great idea for topic that I think would help all the new guys here especially me. New member etiquette. Besides the obvious of reading all the rules and doing a butt load of research what are the biggest problems that most of you see with new guys and their posts? What are the biggest mistakes us newbies should absolutely avoid and what are some things you guys would suggest that we actually do on here. Maybe a guide for new guys so that we can all just be safer and a better more intelligent community all together.

Newbies throwing up forum posts straight away in order to generate karma to enter promo's, rather than taking a few weeks to have a good read around and establish some good steroid knowledge and practices on how to run them...
Or having multiple accounts
Yeh, remember that Supamangohan and his various forum posts?
What a caratcature
Do you think he'd be dumb enough to register on here again with us two watching?
Surely not
Ah so that’s what karma is used for? Good to know thank you for the knowledge my friend! I do plan on reading a lot as I love to read. Also I hope other newbies are learning from this too.
I'm sure you know that as you've already entered into a couple of promo's..
I did enter into promos but I don’t remember reading anything about karma. Now I know though and I don’t want to be one of those guys that jumps into all of them.
Use the search function. This post has been made and answered countless times.
If your new, spend time reading and seeing what’s appropriate.
I’ve never seen anyone flamed for following the rules and asking questions, once they’ve done a little research. Problem is that too many folks want to be spoonfed and that doesn’t play well here. This isn’t rocket science.
Ok my mistake search function will be my go to.
Not really directed towards you. Just new folks in general.
Ooo I get it haha. Thanks for the great advice my friend!!
Read the rules!
Read the rules again!
Don't break the rules with any dumbass questions about sources or labs in open forums (exception the highly recommended CENSORED LABS with those amazing badass gymbags)
Karma is a bitch... so NEVER ask for karma, earn it by being a helpful part of the community! Just share your experiences with training, nutrition, gear and karma will come by itself.
Everyone loves free gear, BUT don't jump on each promo you see just for stocking up! Just jump in for a promo, if you wanna use the gear in nearest future. Or let the free space left for another user.
This are my tips, mate. +1 for the topic
Thank you my friend those are some awesome tips and I really think it will help a lot of us new members out! Number 4 and 5 are great too I have no idea what karma is for though haha. I hope all the new guys get to read this and I hope more experienced members like yourself contribute their vast knowledge. You’re the man tattoofreak!!
