+ 1 KARMA WHORES BANNED PERMANENTLY
We have been tracking karma distribution between certain members for quite some time now, and it's obvious their only objective is to gain high amounts of karma.
The following members have earned a permanent ban:
- cdaddy7
- zewi
- fast48
- last but not least our beloved ex MOD gs9902
(I guess now you know why ex, right bro, right?)
Although there were other members in this "underground circle" the four members above, all received their last warnings months a go.
I'm sure a lot of you are shocked or at least surprised by my decision, especially since all of the above members have proven themselves very helpful and knowledgable on more than one occasion.
However, there is NO DOUBT that these members were operating as a team inside our community with only one thing on their mind; obtain as much karma as possible, present themselves as high ranking members and as such receive kickbacks and free gear from sources.
Karma to these guys was not an indicator of helpfulness or trustworthiness, but a currency with which you can get free gear.
- As for the sources that were knowingly participating in this, consider this your last warning!
- To all the "silent members" of this retarded circle - you have been given another chance, don't blow it.
I'm sure all you idiots will eventually create new accounts, looking forward to banning you over and over again.

im sure bro, now it would be great to see what you think of my current cycle, in my cycle log plzzzzz hehe, i just started my second week
In all seriousness....I would say 80% of what is on here is regurgitated. And I am not trying to be a dick by saying that...but at least here on Eroids with a simple search, it is much easier to find than elsewhere.
This is why you never take what anyone tells you as gold, do your own research and make your own decisions. Also if you do reach out for help make sure you ask someone who has actually done what they say, someone who actually has years in the game you feel me.
Absolutely man...in my own experience recently, I had several members tell me I needed to supp with T4 after I posted my thyroid bloods. Yeah I though about it...and kept researching again(and thinking AGAIN!!), decided to try a few days on a low dose and guess what...I absolutely didn't need it!!! Made me feel terrible...so once again, now THAT comes from first hand experience that when dosing any GH over 3IU's, one would need 10mcg's of T4 for every IU is kinda bullshit IMO.
You got years in the game, right? Don't you like primo?...I guess I should send you a FR finally!! LOL...I got a primo run coming up and I am still indecisive about something.
I agree with this, and that's why i made a post recently about tren and receptors because all those guys above were going around saying it as facts, but when i asked about it no one could back up what they were saying they just repeated what they read on other boards, which just proves what you and BB are saying..
Gotta give you props for that... I'm planning to start a cycle soon that includes tren and I'm still not convinced what I should run my test at... I've got a good friend who's been in the game for about 15 yrs and always runs high test with tren and swears by it. Good call bro
absolutely...I would read stuff on here at times and then go REALLY searching in depth for the actual info. and I could never find it...BUT I would find the 'regurg' on other forum boards, lol. Funny HAHA...or funny, not really!!! I wanna know the answers...not the mystery surrounding the answers! BUT with that being said, we are all engaged in a obviously scrutinized black market lifestyle...and then true answers are always going to be difficult to come by.
Anonwell theres guys like that still here bro
True that! And some of those guys have under 50 karma, point being karma doesn't mean you're smart.
LOL....says the man with "242"
hahaha
in all seriousness tho, the guys i take the most advice from have wayyy less then me, i don't claim to be the most educated dude, but wtvr i do know i try n pass on...
it's cool man...I was just busting nuggets
;-P
lol i know, its all good =}
Hmm...well, I feel as though I should say something here...as it is pretty obvious on my profile page who I have upvoted the most, lol. And I don't want what I am about to say to be looked upon as an attempt to defend myself..because I am not, and I had no part in this alleged planned endeavor. Basically I just want to clear the air between myself, the powers that be and the rest of the board members here, maybe simply in the circumstance that I too am possibly being looked upon with an eye of scrutiny.
Yeah, I tended to upvote these guys, mostly fast and zewi(not that I made a concerted effort to) because they offered me some pretty insightful information at one time or another..OR someone like fast was in all honestly and IMO, an original and upbeat, positive individual here that I felt deserved a lil' bump every now and then. I mean, that is/was the whole point of all the karma thing, right? Helpful, and/or positive information?
So, I used to be on here much more than I currently am and maybe I have missed things going on here in the past few months...which is probably the case, as if I was here like I used to be...then I would've caught on to the 'shenanigans' pretty quickly...because on a personal note, I was considered somewhat a scam artist of sorts(on the streets that is). It's hard to scam a scam artist, right? LOL. Anyway...I just wanted to say a few things and maybe offer an act of sincerity to the powers of eroids...as I am just a normal "schmoe"(dbag?...LOL) who's life revolves around nutrition, fitness and GOOD gear!!
u have 0 down votes, u make me look like a super asshole
I show mercy, lol...I have had alot of things taken from me in life...and it is tough to get karma here(unless^^^...ya know!?!?) SO...I figure that the only time to take points from someone is if they broke a serious rule here OR are being a super superb childish asshole....and I guess I never ran into that yet? I thought I downvoted someone before, but I guess I didn't.
yes i stopped too once i saw my numbers , didnt realize it untill the update.
There is the old saying, "Discipline is not the enemy of enthusiasm." I have been helped by some of those men listed above and I am grateful to them for the help. At the same time I am more grateful to BFG and the mods for without them there would be no eroids and thus no help from any of the above. It is important to understand the chain of command and the saying the tail doesn't wag the dog. Eroids exists and grows because of the discipline that is imposed, on top of that mercy has been shown several times to the offending parties. It is not like it was even one failure and your out. The members cannot and will not ever have the inside knowledge that BFG and the mods have. We make our appeal for mercy out of our desires and feelings for our friends. But those feelings and desires cannot trump the rules or evidence otherwise this place will collapse. So again I say I am thankful for the above mentioned for helping me but I am more thankful for the place that will have one standard for all, regardless of how important any one person is.
ur wisdom is priceless. very true
Ive been here 8 months or so.. and I have no clue how the Karma thing works.. :(..
is it something i should be worried about ?
Make helpful posts, post pics, give GOOD reviews and you will get karma. Break rules and you lose it. You've broken a rule or 2 somewhere with that -1
Lol Foreal?
Help out in the community, post pics of urself proggress, post gear pics etc.
Lol, obviously you aren't karma whoring
This is why I keep my Karma below 2.
Fast48 ? That's Funny !! Sorry !
Whats funny?
AnonI always wondered how they got such much karma so quickly..
Much respect BFG on that decision.
How was it going down? Were they just giving each other karma regularly?
Regularly is an understatement. Statistically they were 11 times more likely to upvote each other than anyone else.
They have been copy/pasting articles from other forums and scientific excerpts from medical sites, and getting upvotes for that.
Creating a private membership group (now abandoned) and upvoting each other up was a good idea too...
Bounty HunterDamn glad you got em
And when that group was formed it was supposed to be to show the eroids community that they were doing it for the benefit of everyone. So why make the group private? They also wanted the group posts to be "Karma free". They told me personally that they didn't want to get any karma for it yet they bumped each other in those posts.
how do i make my group public, it says all my post and dossier31 posts are all privates, help lol
I'm not telling you how to run your group (although we watch). That isn't the point. They wanted their group public (so they told me) but made it private. Right out the window went "for the benefit of everyone". Not to mention copying & pasting articles is dangerous for the site. It can bring drama that BFG doesn't need. If you find something somewhere useful, post the link to the ENTIRE article
no but i want to make it public , its just that i dont know how, i was wondering about that earlier but dont know how? every post i go to , its says the post is set to private
Click your group. Top right corner you'll see "settings". Click it. Follow instructions
scratch that , the group is open but the posts are set to private , how do i change that?
AnonMoral of this story, NOTHING gets past BFG
Damn, i didn't think it was that bad when I vouched for Zewi to RoidNoid, my apology to RoidNoid
i respect the move, it is sad that you have to regulate grown men like this but its necessary for balance and order
wow! So to make this clear.Are we aloud to get gear from a source to use and review for free?
I don't see why not. I don't have anything against free gear. The more the better!
I also have no control over who sends what to who.
BUT
right on
im sure the boss and mods will elaborate but i dont think he is talking about a sample bottle that you post and review like a method some new sources use for exposure. from the sounds of it they abused their "power" here for free packs and sources went along b/c of their notoriety around the community
I figured that but wanted to make sure.
To the rest of you guys who were in on this know we are watching closely this type of bs isn't going to be allowed, this goes for any sources who want to play along.
AnonPlease no , Please . Really BFG can you please reconsider and weigh how much each of these guys has helped others.
I know you have an awesome site here and have created something truly special, I know you cant have people breaking the rules and they have had their troubles before but isnt there any other way ?
Seriously I feel a huge sadness and I believe many others will to at the loss in our community this will create.
Please will you reconsider at all is there any other way ?
I dont mean to question you, its just that I feel it would be wrong of me not to ask given the loss I feel right now.
AnonThey are and will be replaced. The Eroids community is full of very bright and experienced users.
When the decision comes from BFG personally to the public, he means business. He's the man behind the curtain who only shows up when necessary so I would imagine in this scenario the punishment is warranted.
Did you not read what was posted? I don't care how much you like someone, no one will be allowed to abuse the system out of pure greed.
AnonI read it and I dont mean to be disrespectful so please dont take it that way.
Ultimately I know what you have created and maintain here, so I understand there are certain things that have to be done.
But these guys are really friends and people I admire, it would be wrong of me not to at least ask or even as I am doing beg.
Life will go on, but this just feels like a huge blow.
No, they ALL had their chance. All had their points take away before, all been banned before. It's over.
