Getting frustrated with Steroid.com

**and1_headach** · 05-24-2010, 01:36 PM

Does anybody else feel my pain, trying to find new questions that people ask and have to sift through 100 pages of retards that do not know how to use the search bar. i seriously find it excruciatingly painful, maybe even enough to severely limit my time on this site or leave permanently. i know im not the only one that feels this, what are some suggestions we can leave the admins to eradicate this bs?

RRRRRAAAAANNNNNTTTTT!

limit your time? you still only have 14 posts!! its always been this way, their are some people who come on and talk rubbish, but the guys asking the questions are at least trying to get the right advice etc!!

Id be more worried about the newbies who give crap advice when they clearly dont know exactly what they are talking about

these types of forums are always the same .

Why dont u just use the search feature to find what you want instead of sifting through all the threads

There will always be idiots that join these forums and many others. its easy to find what your looking for. you just need to know where to look and who to know

Couple things:
*There is a obviously a wide knowledge gap in the membership. When you have over 100,000 registered members it's bound to happen. What may seem like common knowledge to some is not to others. This doesnt automatically make them retards, just means they dont have the knowledge that you do. If you notice many of the respected long time members here (Big, D7M to name a couple) rarely speak condescending to anyone regardless of their knowledge level unless they are disrespectful.

*For basic questions and research the search bar is a great tool. But lets face it, how many questions are asked each day that have never been covered before? Not many. If everyone used the search bar for every unoriginal question the board would come to a screeching halt. Now when there are 9 active threads in the workout section all asking "whens the best time to do cardio" and someone starts another one. Yes, that gets a tad annoying.

laugh @ gettingthere... i only have 14 post since i have probably only have had a handful of questions that either haven't been posted or i haven't found. but yeah maybe a mandatory rules and regulations page when you sign up that basically says how to use this forum and you have to scroll down through it and check the box to proceed to account activation when signing up. im not saying it will completely solve the problems but limit them. then they can get crazy and put a 10 day ban on someone that posts and basically doesnt follow the rules.

i think its funny cuz if i used my own advice i would probably find another thread about this same thing. actually i think i read one the other day. i think its not about beating a dead horse per say, i think its bringing a matter to every ones attention regularly.

RAWR!

Have you ever gotten to one of these pages and actually read all the stuff before clicking the box? I sure as hell haven't, and I am almost 100% positive that everyone would do the same thing... scroll to the bottom and click the box to continue.

Good idea, but just would not work.
