when and when not to downvote for dummies
i know there is a rules forum but apparently we having problems getting folks to understand what to downvote on and what not to.
1. dnt downvote just because you dnt like what someone has to say, just because you dissagree doesnt mean its not true.
2. dnt downvote someones personal experience, cant knock someones own experience thats why its called their PERSONAL experience.
3. dnt ask questions unless you have done your research as this will get you downvoted quickly. (alot of us feel that if we had to do the research why shouldnt you)
4. make sure you are putting your reviews on the gear youve purchased in the SOURCE REVIEWS ONLY!!!! the only time you can put your source review out side this forum is when the source doesnt have a webpage, only then you will review them in the source introduction.
5.source reviews is not for gossip and small talk as this will quickly get you downvoted or possibly worse. there are forums that not nearly as strict. try using the anything goes forum as you will get away with alot more there.
If theres anything im missin please feel free to add to this but please keep this thread humarless as this is hear to help newbys and others that are confused on whats ok and whats not.

so I seem to need to bring this post back to our attention, we all are donna have different views and thoughts on different topics, it is against the rules to downvote just for a disagreement that doesnt say that who is right or wrong!!!! this is a web site mainly for people who give a shit what their health and body is like. As you can see below i was downvoted for being funny not that i give two shits but this post isnt about me, its about two others on a different thread that got downvoted just because they replied their belief to a post. I was the up that gave you your votes back because downvoting on here is not a political thing!!!! I will be the 1st to tell you ima come talk to someone with higher rep points about my questions here than someone with lower just due to the fact that they have been here for a bit and most likly have shown me they know their shit! Now I am not sayng that you guys with lower reps havent been around a good while but how do I know that for sure, most of the time if you have low rep that means youve just joined on or youve had quite a few people call bull shit on you. I spend alot of time everyday on this web site and most will agree I have a sence of humar but dnt take credit away where credit is due. greg and tread-m have posted alot of imformative post that has helped me as well as many members here. there are people on here that look up to them based on their knowledge as I am one of them. So dont be so quick to give a thumbs down just because of a post you didnt like. ultimatley we are all here for the same reasons and its not because we are wondering if Obama will get his dick sucked too by another monica lewinsky. If you dnt want a to here peoples views on topics quit posting such debatable topics. thanks.
Sincerely Mr. Pope Boy 1
I basically just want to say thank you and very good thread etc....its been so aggrevating since starting on this site because of things like downvoting for wrong reasons. To be honest i should probably have close to thirty by now but everytime i posted a review or even a comment on a certain suppliers forum i would get downvoted and not just once. Hell my first post ever was a review of my order with a supplier and my experience. I was downvoted more than once for that. Why? Because some people dont like the supplier? ok personal vendettas should not become a factor either. Anyway once again,i just want to say great topic and thanks for the fact that what ive been saying from day one about wrongful downvotes and got downvoted for sayng it is also shared by others.
Thanks, rules for the source reviews are a lil more stricter, however not liking what soneone has to say is not a reason to downvote them. when I post in the source reviews I try to stay out of conversation with others if it wanders off topic. I make sure I describe comunication, the cost of the product and shippment, how long it took for my order to arrive, and last but not least the quality of my gear I recieved, it may take me a month or so to write a full review but I try to keep everyone posted on gains, side affects and anything else that may come from my personal experience, this helps others when they go place an order and reassures them that weve got a good source here or just dnt fuck with them I dnt trust em ya know. this also helps you in finding a good source. some people downvote you just cause your personal experience is different than theirs, I say thats fucking retarded because there isnt any 2 bodies exactly the fucking same. I got downvoted once just because I didnt get pimples from the oils I was using, I was like bra, I havent ever had a problem with zits and just because they got them doesnt mean I will. dont let downvoting get to ya homie I do understand how ya feel tho, now if you post a comment that was completly off topic in the SR expect to get downvoted then. but your gonna have assholes anywhere you go, ya cant hide from dem ass holes seem to find you like your a fucking toilet seat ya heard! just consider the source and go on about your business.
Soooo, ok im trying to find a way to word this without sounding like an asshole because im really a nice guy, I have been a eroider for 2 months and maybe im reading to much in here, it does seem like this is a popularity contest and ive discussed this with a couple of yall about the downvoting part of this site, what im gettin at is there are people that have been members here for 1/2 even 1/3 of the time ive been here and their rep points are way above mine. So im lookin thru and seeing why and its not because of the info they have wrote about their cycle, or even comments on a certain source. Im not hating on anyone I promise but I like rep points tooooo, and im on here everyday posting feedback and trying to help folk out with any questions they may have. I think if you liked my comment enough to PM me that should at least get me 1 thumbs up. I do post alot of serio0us comments and would love nothing more than to be famous too. hell their is a thresd out their just for gettin one guy some rep points, last ime I counted he had went from 0 - 7 just by that topic, hell he probably has more than I do now. I have wrote this mainly outta humor and maybe all I need is a good estrogen blocker im feelin really unpopular now. You know whats gonna happen if my wife sees this and knowing ive been a member here for as long as what i have and theres kids here thats 10 years younger than me and has been on here 1/4 amount of time i have with twice my rep points? She is gonna leave me, that was the only reason that she got with me cause shes thought I was cool and popular. Yall should just feel ashamed of youreselves ruining a good marriage lmao. ima tell you what ima do, im turn my computer off for just a lil while, and maybe, just maybe when I turn it back on my rep points will be like 45 maybe 50. is that not to much to ask ha ha, hell i would settle for 30. ive always liked yall and have even thought the old farts with no teeth were cool too (HG63 & KMC) and have even laughened at 7gothics jokes....... even after I found out he was gay and married lol . im not gonna cry about it (sniffle, sniffle) i give yall the finger when yall deserve it.
(NARRATOR) As Popeboy1 logs off the computer mumbling under his breathe "fuckin fuckers!" he wonders if they will actually givehim points and he thinks how screwwed up its gonna be he comes back to his computer to see all the hard earned 22 points hes got has suddenly dissapeared. He walks to the kitchen to take his flintstone vitamins and to get his a bowl off coco roos cereal only to kick his hello, i mean his daughters hello kitty dolly on the way like it was a rep for naps hoping someday he will be cool too, THE END
AnonWhy not post the topic "What is a review?" since so many people don't seem to know or understand what that might be?
tread-mHey off topic, really nice pic you posted but I don't know if I can ever get used to you without the green hair! I'll try since I'm so damn nice but no promises as of yet.
Anonlol tread. thanks, but I can't have green hair at work.. I had ask my hair dresser to fix it...
Give them a vote if you find it helpful.Permalinki agree, i just figured since we have so many problems with this and apparently we do have some really lazy people here ( you know who you are by the simple fact of getting downvoted for a ignorant question) that are apparently scared of google i thought it would a lil more catchy of a title for them....... you know kinda like a racoon is when it sees something shiny lol you got my vvv...... wait a minute is that a coke can!!!! lmmfao
Anonthat shiny thing you see is a .....fish HOOK...
mmmmmmmmutha mmmfuckers lol
OMG, all those words, I can't read that much from the 2 of you, -2 for both of you.
J/K
I've made what I thought were intelligent answer, statments or suggestions and got nothing.
I've made joke and got voted up, Hell, I even made fun of one guy by saying " Yoda,..........is that you??" and got voted up, but if you really want to rack up points, just go over to the Naps forum and kick the shit outa little William.
No system is perfect,........hell, this is the internet, truth can even be hard to find.
Agreed. No idea how im gonna be racking up points once Naps actually starts delivering goods again. It almost seems as if they never did. thats how long its been.
LMFAO!!! Thats some funny shit.Thats how I got -8 is because I knew that healthy one was about to dissapear right before they did,and I commented on it and nobody wanted to believe it and thaught I was an idiot.But guess what,I was right.But I still got stuck with -8.
we just need to make sure the new guys knows who to look up to because tread-m was right, this is very dangerous if done wrong
I totally agree, I've had guys PM me to tell me what they are doing for their first cycle and ask me question, I tell them I'm and old gezzer (TRT), I try and direct them to somebody that would know their answer, but shit, it's the internet, they all want the answer now without doing their homework, they are just easy prey for some 2 day internet steroid expert who gets confused about the differences between a cycle and a treadmill.
if they are too lazy to do research the dnt have a f*&#in bit of reason doing something they no nothing about. they can down vote me all they want i stand behind my word!!!! by the way how do i get the steroids from that there jar (vial), to in one of them there plastic suckin devices (syring) lmmfao
LOL, I probably pin close to 100 times a year,............and that's just my dogs.
(See my avatar)
tread-mYeah or the guy that says he is on his 8th cycle stacking; creatine, protein, l-glutamine and Gummie flintstone vitamins... Might wanna throw a little special K in the mix padna, go big or go home son!
AnonI really hope you are talking about the cereal man because some dumb ass is going to his local drug dealer and ask for some special k ... and get it..
tread-mYou know it...and how much you wanna bet it wont be a dime of his favorite light and fluffy breakfast cereal?! lol You can't smoke Cap'n crunch playa!
and i like the flintstone vitamins lol the pills hurt my teeth when i try to chew them up ha ha ha I gotta say Betty taste the best, or was it Wilma. i will just add them to the list of women ive tried to eat, at least they dnt smack me and tlk about pressin charges when they wake up lmao
lmao.. Try the gummy bear ones... I can do them with my teeth in or out...
lmmfao thats just wrong lol
So if in putting up pic's of my Lixus TestE, I had it tasteful framed in between my dentures, you would be hitting the report button like a retard with a new drum set???
wit a minute, thats how i play the drums now, you should post that pic, i wouldnt report button ....... i swear lmao
If they are the windup walking kind, hell yeah we would.
Haha, no, but I have been know a time or two to pop them out, when someone comments how nice my teeth are,........."here, would you like a closer look ?"
Their reactions are great. LMAO
Hey,.........I like my Mini Wheats.
tread-mlol....yeah thats too easy a target! Hell thats like fishing from a barrel in an inch of water with a shot gun!
tread-mPope the problem is as I stated to BFG....The "rep points" are really meaningless if they are used other than intended. There is the problem, they are used other than intended most of the time rendering them a big question mark. As a 25 year vet your rep points dont mean a hell of a lot if you are in your first "oral cycle" either. The problem as I discussed with BFG is that they can be used at all in the review pages without oversight to where someone such as an experienced MOD could over ride the down vote. To allow down votes inside the review areas you will cause people who regard those rep points as real life to not speak their true mind on gear when they think loyalists to a supplier will get them down voted. I am loyal to my sources too but if any of my sources get something wrong we should know about it...period! Now I dont know about you, I know my rep and it has nothing to do with a little number by my name on what has become one of my favorite sites. It might mean more to more people if it had meaning and had oversight. BFG has addressed similar concerns and spoke of addressing the problem at some point in another area of the forum. Here is the thing, the rules you refer to above mean nothing without oversight. The MODS have oversight over what you post and where you post it but until they have oversight on up and down votes they will be worth very little. As well, there would have to be time constraints on your rep points going up. You can't come here and rocket to a 50 in a month based on popularity if you're new to the sport and the gear> That gives newbies the crazy belief that you may actually know what you are talking about and I can't tell you, and dont need to, how much bad advice floats around some of the sites from wanna be's that have used 3 or 4 compounds in their glorious 6 month career in the game. This stuff is VERY dangerous under the wrong guidance and very safe and healthy under the right guidance. Rep points should indicate everything but popularity, in fact that little issue might be solved by members having 2 numbers...rep and popularity. If I do look for advice I could look to high rep points indicating you know something and if I wanna joke around I could find the high popularity point guys and fugg around a while. I love doing both but it has to have meaning either way. The person ultimately responsible for bad advice is the guy who took it without doing his homework and getting many opinions but lets face it, there are some young kids that come here and at the very least you hope they get good advice on doing something they should not be doing at 16 or 17 anyway. So I don't come off as a know it all, I learn everyday from a lot of well researched people here. When I quit learning I get tired of something so I'm a long way from getting tired of this. This is an incredible site with amazing insight and is well thought out, its weak link would have to be "rep points" in my humble opinion. I got down voted a while back after being scolded by a MOD for posting something in a review board which was less than a review, the funny thing is, I went back through the pages of the exact review board we were on and the MOD had posted 10 or 12 comments himself that were jokes/having fun. I never complained because I play by the rules and accept the consequences when I don't. Where was the example? why did you become a MOD? Was it because you thought it felt cool next to your popularity number or does it mean something to you for the right reason? I look forward to seeing more MODS like a 7GOTHIC who knows how to have fun doing something he loves, takes it seriously in terms of research/advice and is generally a fair person. Those are qualities you need in a MOD. The MOD I referenced earlier is no longer with us as it was only a matter of time before his IQ trumped his popularity points and he did something the average child would know not to do. Final oversight was BFG! Problem is he cant be everywhere and can't oversee everything. Thats it POPE, I saw your downvote that prompted this page and I bet if you look in the mirror you're just as big and bad as you were before you got it. I would vote you back up but I'm not popular enough...lol
well said tread-m, i couldnt agree with you more, we are all here to make our life healthier and more enjoyable, and I stand behind what you said about needing more mods like 7gothic. i have read alot of comments hes posted and they are all in good character and also very interesting & infromational. I agree this is not a popularity contest this is like going back to school to learn how to take care of yourself, i am always open to listen to an individuals personal experience because everyones affected differently. I also do my research because I like to know whats going on with my body and what side affects might come from what i put into it. also like to know what gear gives you certain results. I do like to joke around as well as I am not an uptite sob but have no problem helping someout when I can. this is a well thought out web site and im very thankful for it but we dnt need to forget where we came from. i still have alot to learn when it comes to this stuff and i have no problem admitting it but I have also learned alot thus far. I 1st started using steroids in 2003 and i quit takin them for 4 years but here i am again lol. my point is this isnt my 1st rodeo and I really hope something gets done about the rep points and until then we need to work on helping educate the new guys and keep learning all we can. knowledge is power and we can all get stronger
