I know this has been going on long before I joined, but some of these clowns on SI pages kill me. I'm talking some EXP tags who haven't contributed shit to the community other than posting some pics of gear to get some karma. So you think yea this dude knows his shit. Then you read his comment where he says he's ran 1,000mg of Tren and 1600mg of Test, but fuck brah got me SWOLE! I know this ain't nothing new, but it's fucking bullshit, and pathetic. Just a little rant.

just worry about the advice you give, if you see bad shit pull them up on it and correct them and explain why.... easy.
I know, and I do, it just gets a little ridiculous sometimes.
Like H says below ... it wont take you long to realise who the real deal bro,s are..... someone gave me that advice 2yrs+ ago and it stood me well in choices of friends.... just like in real life i can count "real brothers" on one hand.
You're right, you have to surround yourself with good people.
as far as I am concerned EVERYONE on this site is an IDIOT until they show themselves to be responsible members... And that has little to do with karma, tags or even knowledge... If you stick around long enough you can spot the difference between the solid bro's and the karma whores
No discrimination with you, you hate everyone equally, lol
RustyhookerSi pages are almost as bad as cycle logs. Other day i saw a newb with exp tags. All pictures. Gear pix needs overhaul.
Hold up a second my dude, if you mistake high karma as an immediate sign of knowledge, then it is you who is fucking up. As long as karma is gained in accordance with the rules, a member can choose which ever way he wishes to help out and gain some points, wether it's selfies, gear pics, forum post etc etc it's never been said karma is solely down to aas knowledge and how much cycle advice is given.
For example, I've said many times you'll never see me in the cycle logs dishing out advice because I simply don't have the years in experience to play with someone's health even though i may have the answers to certain questions. I choose to leave that to those who truly know there shit inside out. Does that mean I didn't earn the karma I have fairly? Or by helping and contributing to site?
No I think you're misunderstanding my point or maybe I didn't get it across properly. I was looking at it from the new guys on here who don't know enough to wade out the BS. A lot of guys go to the source pages cause obviously they're looking for stuff. Then they come across someone with high karma and read the bogus stuff they post and then replicate it.
I never said you have to be in cycles forum to rightly earn karma. I don't care how people earn it. I think some should be a little more responsible. Personally I look past it,but some don't.
Ah ok fair enough, I think I see your point. I do have a habit of picking things up wrong lol
It's all good man. I see where you were coming from.
your looking into it too much mate, the mods have a handle on it all, yes we are safety first but we have ppl from all walks of life, all different experience levels, fighters, athletes, body builders, gym rats, models, juice heads, power lifters etc etc we can only try our best to school ppl the rite way, a 300 pound power lifter is going to cycle alot more than a 150 pound under wear model, just relax mate the board is running the mods have it under control...... whooo shah. and like always dont worry about karma, if your correct and can prove it never back down i remember being here 3 month like you, only my karma was 8.... i had a massive full blown war with a guy with 400+ karma.....he is no longer with us.....
Yea I'll pick my battles carefully. And besides, make love not war, lol, can't we all just get along, haha
High Karma is easy to spot; when you look at pics and see like 500 and only about 4 forum posts, do the math LOL.
FantasiathescammerYou're right when you say it's been going on long before you joined eroids. That's because it goes on everywhere you find social interaction. People misrepresenting themselves bothers be the least on forums. Primarily because I can just stop reading and move along quickly.
Ill tell you where it bothers me the most. Im in my late 20's and It really irks me to have to hear all my peers describe their desk jobs as if they are CEO's.
I wouldn't worry about everyone else bro. Granted they have the tag and should be respectful with what they divulge in post and in general to other members. However, that's not always the case. You should be looking for a member in your stat range, with the body you wish to have and pick his/her brain for knowledge. That is like telling Professional Gambler, not to spend all his money at the crap table( not that EXP, means professional),But Its asinine to think people will ever change, you cant control everything either. Let it go, no need to start drama, just do you.
Godspeed ............Winning
I hear ya, it's just that it's detrimental to the guys who don't know any better, cause let's be honest most dudes head straight to the
SI pages. Personally I could give two shits about what they have to say. It's just counter productive.
Valid concern indeed! However two ways to handle it would be with a mod or with the person in general. I prefer the ladder one, but both are choices. I'm sure if you contacted that person with a general concern excluding argumentative antics, he/she would be greatly appreciative. This place ultimate is about improving yourself and others, were a fckin team bro. haha. Voicing your concern here wont do much unless he/she reads this and he/she wont even know if this pertains to them. Just my two pennies brother!
True dat, but I think these certain individuals will argue anything for the sake of arguing, I guess I was just venting.
I generally stay out if the SI pages for this reason and especially all the fan boy crap.
I agree that expert members have a great influence over newer members and that can be concerning if they are spouting crap. That being said, I think we can only do our best to speak up when we see dangerous and asinine information being passed on.
Amen brother
Damn u got me .. :). I feel ya just pick through the bull shit
Frustrating, it's like a pissing contest with some of these dudes.
High karma Doesn't mean knowledge . Now there are some high ranking members that forgot more than I will ever know tho
And, there are newer members that will climb very quickly because of their knowledge...
That is the truth, I lost count how many times I have been taken aback by a low karma members knowledge..
That's very true
