You don't need Karma to be heard. I have seen many knowledable people come on the site who have great posts and questions who started out with low Karma just like everyone else. Contribute with well thought out questions and comments and your Karma will increase. Research first on the site and if your question/answer isn't there, ask it.
I know quite a bit, just joined here and have no karma...but I can give great advice on many subjects about AAS or Peptides or training
(Field of study is molecular biology with a focus in biochemistry)
Also its worth noting that i've seen quite a few high karma people give out shitty advice, the important thing you need to realise is not to take everything at face value, question everything and do your own research on stuff, listen to other peoples opinions use them to form your own, backed by your own research.
If you have a question you want to ask then ask it, but its worth noting that a lot of the basics have already been covered and are in the sticky sections of the various forums. Noone is going to downvote you or ignore you just because you have low karma, on the other hand if you ask a questions and its obvious you havent even read the basic guides in the stickies then what can you expect?
Members are here to help you, but if we spoonfed everyone then we would be answering the exact same questions in every thread
Everyone starts at 0. People make their presence felt and their voice heard and gain karma along with respect and credibility. You should post up more. I have never seen you here before.
to a certain degree i think you definitly do. i mean, karma to me seems to be in place as a general guide to whos contributed something worthwhile/meaningful to the community, has shared certain insight or demonstrated a willingness to teach AND even more importantly learn (thats why we're all here, even the vets imho), and/or is practicing what they preach (progress pics are best proof the way i look at it). guys with more karma i tend to take just a few seconds longer to read their posts for example because clearly they EARNED that karma somehow. by no means am i sayng that guys with lower karma dont know their shit tho! i understand completely we all start out on this site with 1 pt, but that doesnt mean someone is new too AAS cause theyre new to eroids.
i think some posts by lower karma members can go unoticed because just like any other community, eroids can be clique-ish and members seem to almost "follow" each others posts. dont get discouraged over lack of feedback on posts yo, just keep asking educated questions and learning all you can.
sorry if its in the wrong forum wasn't really paying attention to what forum I was in...
has nothing to do with the guys on the site...ive typed a couple of things and reviews and haven't seen them posted and I was wondering if it had to do with me having no karma ...not trying to achieve nothing...and it was just a question ,, not petty whinning... why would I even post this ..newchapter... just maybe I thought there was something to this karma that would or wouldn't let me post certain things on the site..
Shoot me a fr if you want bro
Iv seen ALOT of people with close to no karma give great advice and help me alot so not in my opinion.
To be honest, I don't care at all about karma, neither do I care about my tag. What I care about is the fact that people hit me up for advice before they go off and do something stupid.
I can sleep better at night when I know that somebody out there won't embark on some ridiculous cycle and possibly mess himself up for life.
Struggling to see what you're trying to achieve here?????
Contribute, help people out, entertain, motivate, inspire etc. Karma will come. Writing stuff like this doesn't fit into to any of those categories.
The people who have karma earned it from bringing something to the table. You should try it sometime.
apparently you didn't even understand what I was asking.. and your reply was funny..
go head drop the site. what do u have to say? it will be heard by someone if you put it out here. everyone starts at the bottom boss. I think when i joined I started with like 5 points tho...
Sorry bro I'm calling it a night. I hoped you'd come back and tell me/us what's on your mind. Maybe next time....
WeatherwedMy respect for others is rooted in trying to see everyone as multidimensional beings. You never know who you're talking to. OP may have low karma, but might be a great athlete, high ranking member of another forum, a great father... etc etc.
I agree, he could be one of those. But if he is gonna be a contributing member of this community, why would he post petty whining like this? OP like you were told everyone starts low. If you have the knowledge to help others, just start showing it. I know what your saying about guys ignoring lower karma members, but you'll never get off of 0 without at least trying to be heard. You have to come with a fresh perspective or good experience you won't get karma just by parroting common knowledge. Good luck brother, this place is worth the effort to be heard.
your post to me is what drives new guys away from even asking a question...
I could be one of those??/ what was that about...
Don't take it wrong brother. The guy that I replied to said you may be an athlete, or other such knowledgeable person. I was agreeing with him. As for your post it was fairly unclear as to your intentions and sounded vaguely like you were complaining. Its somewhat natural for people to get a little defensive if they perceive an attack. You also have to understand karma has been a bit of a hot button here lately. You did the right thing by coming back and clarifying yourself. Don't hold it against me or any of the other brothers. We love this place and respect the vets, and most if us will go to great lengths to defend our friends. Plz also note that I gave legit advice as for how to get heard. Stick with this place it's a valuable tool. You accepted my FR so if you have any q's pm me. Good luck bro.
No, everybody starts off with 0 karma.
If you have anything to ask etc, put it up. If you got gear and/or self pics, put em up, this will help kick start your eroids experience.
1 thing tho, have a good read round the forums, a lot of answers are waiting to be read...it's all here bro, jump in!!
Everybody starts with 1 karma*****

Why would you even post this bro? Just wondering where all this came from. So what's up? I'm listening right now bro. Lets get it off your chest so we can move on to something productive...
WeatherwedX2 We're ready to hear it.
