+ 6 The trouble with getting Karma these days...

ad

FACT: It's just not as easy to get Karma as it used to be. For those of us that have been here since the eroids BIG BANG it was much easier then because it was the few (attempting)to school the many and a lot of EXCEPTIONAL knowledge was going around. THIS particular EXCEPTIONAL knowledge has evolved into eroids GENERAL KNOWLEDGE so what was once deemed knowledge of the few is NOW knowledge of the masses.

Then we had the issue of Karma exploitation which had dulled the motivation of the more serious eroiders to step up and (now) most of the educating goes on behind the scenes where those of us aren't very concerned with karma (YES, I know thats easy to say when we already have karma but its true). We also had to black out Karma in certain Forums due to exploitation. With ppl giving karma for the MOST ridiculous bullshit it was truly diminishing eroids primamry purpose.

So for those of you frothing at the mouth for karma all I can say is either be EXCEPTIONAL or post a shiitload of pics

I like the idea of placing value on the karma points. When I look at a profile I mentally place a value on the points they received from different places. Pictures being the lowest and forum contributions being the highest with advice being second highest. So if a person has a ton of points but has written very few forum posts than I know to only place a certain amount of stock in what that person is saying. If they have a lot of points but have written very few post but have 20,000 comments I know that their points came from helping others. That can also be a grey area do to the fact that fanboys and nut huggers can rack up points in the good ole boys club. Still beats having a thousand points due to popularity or pictures. I do not see how that would be too hard to have as a point system.

I don't have much Karma, nor do I really care to have it. But I think if you know what your talking about and try to help others by keeping them safe it should come to you easy. I like to lookout for the beginners and their beginner cycles, it's very fresh in my mind, since I just went through my first and learned a lot from it. I no want to help others that are going through what I went through. So I think their is a audience for everyone out there. It's nice to see people with higher Karma looking out for people like me, who try and consistently help those starting out.

So thanks to those that give Karma to others that help keep this site and it's members from doing stupid things! LOL

It's hard to give advice when there's a lot of body builders that know not only what we do but also a lot more from experience! I mean since I have got myself a GP that's down with what I do and helps with advice I can give really good advice especially in pct but vice found you get trolled with low karma even if u are right or your point is valid. Think the system needs a small tweak to ensure everyone can move up the ranks according to there exp

Karma comes easy when the info is spot on and the guys actually do see great gains from the guidance given....... only a few months back i actually gave 1000 of my personal score to a member who really caught my eye with a cycle plan he built for me.... unfortunately through having a bad illness lately i have not been unable to run it personally but i have it listed for fair trial on my team for the upcoming season Smile

Heres +3 to get you up and running........ uncle vike prefers having a strong pack, rather than lone wolves begging for scraps and eventually dying alone.

irongame427's picture

And that's a huge issue . Like you and me know who these people are but new guys come on here and they don't and they get some truly awful dangerous info from these people ( happened to me when I first came on here ) thinking ok he's got 800 karma exp tag he must have put in his dues not knowing he's never posted in the forum and all karmas came from picturS

cry_havoc's picture

That's a pretty smart cycle you laid out there Wny. I like the reasoning you put into effect if I am following it correctly! I'd love to pick your brain some time>

Iron_Addict0929's picture

Absolutely, fr accepted

VIKING EVOLUTION's picture

I would love for you to dip your toe into advanced waters....... i dont mean for you to start stupid pinning abnormal amounts of juice but more for the learning trajectory for your ever hungry enquiring mind Smile

cry_havoc's picture

I'll post up my current cycle in the advanced group and let's pick it apart! At work now but will get to it a little later.

It's not huge but it has tren e in it and I don't like to post that in the open forums very often.

Toddy Loola's picture

Cheers heaps bro I appreciate the advice and look forward to speaking to you in the future.

Pale's picture

And lets not forget, you can just wait a couple weeks and take new picks of the same bottle. Done and done!

irongame427's picture

Man i considering my self somewhat smart and i never even thought of that. I could just take new pics of the same order every week lol. EXP tag here i come. Im gonna pay more attention to peoples pictues and see if people are actually doing this.

VIKING EVOLUTION's picture

lol... they do it alright, and then they PM buddies to go along and hit up karma............ we know whos doing what bro!... every point for every member is on a big log right in front of my eyes.

Not only piccies........... this shit goes on for simple forum posts too!...... folks think MODS are stupid because we stay quiet most of the time..... give a man enough rope and he will hang himself eventually Smile

irongame427's picture

Idk man I don't usually see very many up votes in the forums that shouldn't be. Maybe I need to look hardr. But I do see a lot of people with orders with like 30 fucking thumbs up and some of my damn pictures don't even get one lol. I'm bitter about it I'm gonna start pming you everytime I post a pic so you can give me a nice +3. I'll give you a +2 back on all of yours to hows that sound? Shit we should probably keep this to pm lol.

VIKING EVOLUTION's picture

LOL........... I havnt posted a gear pic in like 2yrs so im fucked on that score bro :(

Thing with you is that you dont run with the SI fanboys........... fanboy karma means nothing to me, you get karma for good advice!... now to me that not only creates karma but also creates respect, which in turn creates depth and longevity.
