helping members

i hate coming on here now and going to steroid questions forum,because with every post asking for advice it's always the newbs telling them the wrong thing to do. not only that but when someone(mod,vet ,respected member etc) tells them the proper way of doing things they argue with them! WTF!
just seems to me there's alot of newbs giving bad advice for example...."oral only cycles" "cycles without test" etc...

well... correct the ill informed and try to help these guys out

**SwoleCat** · 04-22-2005, 07:31 AM

I hear ya, there will always be people giving out "advice" that they think is good. It would be impossible to catch EVERY error that exists, but that is why one must use discretion and research around when deciding to take advice. I deal w/the same thing in the diet forum from time to time, but I have to remember to use the phrase "to each his own" after I present what I believe to be the best viable option.

You can only hope people make the best/informed decision that they can.

I agree with EASTCOASTER. If you see bad advice being given correct it. Many Novice users come on and already have decided what they are going to do. Their buddy did a dbol only cycle and got huge so that is all they want to hear. You can't force them to take good advice but hopefully you will reach some and educate others who read the thread.

Im not trying to piss ppl off with this.....but isnt it possible for some newbies to be more experienced than some of the vets. I mean whose to say some of the senior members arent just skinny smart kids who just know alot about the topic but have never experienced anything. If ppl want to get the right info pick up a book writen by a reputible source.

and remember this is just my opiniion

This is true but if you are chosen to be a VET here or at anyother board I would hope it is because you have very good knowlege on AAS and other topics of this type of subject.

But in the end it your responsibility to know what you are doing to yourself. I could give some people some off the wall answer and because I have X amount of posts, either senior member, or whatever some will take it as the truth.

They dont know any better. Offer suggestions try to help the misinformed, and try to fix the problem rather than knock the site. I understand your frustrations, but this will accomplish nothing.

I agree. That is all you can do.

Remember we are here to help others out and expand our knowledge on things we don't know about...

don't listen to a thing I say I'm a senile old man

**juicehoe** · 04-22-2005, 08:51 AM

I will say the steroid section has changed in the years (been a member since 02) and we seem to have less people with a lot of knowledge

i agree 100%

Stop whining like a little girl and instead try and help out. You can't make someone follow good advise, all you can do is give it to them, explain why it's good advise, and hope they follow it. If they choose not to, and instead do something stupid, that's on them.

Well...if you know tha right thing to do, why don't you just correct them?

**SwoleCat** · 04-22-2005, 10:55 AM

Amen.

The members make the board. It's up to the senior members of the board to educate the juniors and correct them when they are leading others astray. If you are attacked for that or they are handing out bad advice you should then report them to the leadership of the board.

Work to improve the board......don't make comments to bring it further down.

You could always direct people to the (*ahem) new profiles forum....

Most (90%) of the questions in the AAS forum could be answered by reading a few profiles, IMO.

**flabbywussy** · 04-22-2005, 06:04 PM

i help whenever i can
