This may cause me to get banned....
This is a great board. Lately, the past couple of weeks, Ive found myself reading mostly in the archives. Posting or reading anything new here has become almost pointless. Ive held back on typing my comments and opinions out of respect for Jason and his hard work that he puts into this site. Its almost sad to me that I have to log on at a lame ass hour of the night to get this out. It will probably get me banned but Im not the type of person to just shove credit up peoples asses when they dont deserve it just because they hold a mod or vet position.
In my opinion, this board, even with its "cleaning house" method as of late, is heading, if not spiraling downhill. Sure it is 20,000 members but how many of those log on. Lately, the past few months has been NOTHING but an INFLUX of newbie members logging on and posting no more than five posts before vanishing forever.
This place has become a revolving door for newbie retards. Seasoned members entertain their lame ass questions with the same typical answer to appear as being curtious and a gracious host of the board.
Sure this place is meant to be a site to get info and the topic has been brought up time and time again in referance to the same questions being answered. There may not be a solution to it but the problem has grown to the point where it has become a cancer killing the main concept of the board.
The main concept is to have good posts in the archives. Not 90% of the posts asking for a first cycle.
Another problem is the power trip of some of the mods and then the notion that "THEY" are ALWAYS RIGHT and what they say goes. Thats all fine and well but that doesnt lead to respect. That just leads to bitterness.
Of course their solution is "if you dont like it, leave." Thats a great motto to have. Its nice to belong to a group that backs you up regardless of whether or not you made the right decision. Its also nice to have another group that kisses your ass when you set rules forth like blind puppies in hopes of becoming a proud member of that group someday.
I just dont get it. I dont get how members can be banned for actions ABSOLUTELY UNRELATED to this board just soley because a MOD read a post pasted from a chatroom. Then when anyone disputes it, he gets jumped on by other mods and the famous line "if you dont like it, leave" is typed.
That is such a BULLSHlT way to let MODS run a board. Even if that member was disliked, he should have other issues relating to this board to cause his banning. Of course posts will be dug up supporting his banning.
There are a lot of people on this board and there needs to be a lot of MODs looking over it but this place is getting to be communistic.
Out of nowhere a thread is CLOSED, LOCKED, and or DELETED without any consent of other MODS. A thread is started asking about it and then the MODS threaten BANNING if anyone asked about it. WTF is that all about.
TELLING US WHAT WE CAN AND CANT ASK????
Thats such a lovely concept to have: You can say anything you like but if we dont like it, we just delete it. Even if only ONE person complains about it, we will delete it because we cant have that ONE person unhappy.
Telling us we cant ask about certain members.
Telling us we cant post a thread about an ex member killed in Texas becasue it causes contraversy?
What next? Treating us like fvcking children by threatening to LOCK the LOUNGE??? This place is getting to be ridiculous with the CONTROL of the MODS.
YEAH, SEE HOW MANY MEMBERS YOU KEEP IF YOU LOCK THE LOUNGE.
Of course this is a board for working out. But I can garuantee you that if this place becomes SOLELY a place with JUST steroid info and no form of entertainment, it will fall.
Any form of disagreement is quickly DELETED by a MOD then the member is banned without an explination.
Cant even type the word D A M N without it getting sensored.
Then MODS getting pissed cause they get PMs from members complaining about the lounge. SO FVCKING WHAT. If they have the babies balls to complain about a thread that they did not have to read, then they should be banned for being the biggest CRYING BITCH on the board.
But instead, those TWO or THREE SAME members give a MOD an idea to shut down an entire forum. GREAT and EASY solution. That just solves your SUCH A BUSY scheduled day.
Is this place being revamped to suit the needs of the newbies who come in to post once and then never use that screen name again?
It helps people obtain illegal substances and yet will not display girls in G string bathing suits because female members get offended.
One member complains and 1,000 members suffer because of it.
If you see BANNED under my name, this is why. Or this thread will just be deleted before anyone sees it before Sunday morning. No loss. I feel better knowing I typed how I feel.
