    Verified members. . .

    just an idea, to throw out there. . .

    a lot of online forum sites, and social sites have things like verified memberships and/or proven members.

    so just as an topic to spark debate/discussion, what do people think about having this as an added option. I mean, we have had over and over people that claim to be 250lbs and 6% BF. So what if there was a system done by admin or monitors where you could get another add-on or color to your name/profile for people that can prove their stats. . .

    would it add to their rep when they give advice or would you be more willing to listen to somebody with more proven real life experience?

    or does the knowledge somebody have have little to do with how they apply it there for if they lie about themselves has no bearing on advice given?

    take in mind in the mythical world we had this feature, I do realize some might not want to apply it because of topics they have talked about and legal connection to themselves.

    Some people wish to remain completely anonymous. This is a steroid forum, after all...

    The only folks you can trust 100% are the ones you might know off this site as well. There have even been faker/scammer mods before.

    I know guys that don't know anything about dieting aas or proper form and are in great shape. Just cuz they look like they know what there talking about doesn't mean they do.

    One more thing to think about if you go by looks are the people here for trt. They may not be into bb'ing but rather just health and well-being. They may have a wealth of knowledge and hands on experience but look like they've never even looked at a weight. I know this isn't the norm but there are knowledgable members here for reasons other than bb'ing.

    or the older crowd that are no longer in it but still like to work out and stay up to date.

    Reminds me of a clip I seen recently of Lou Ferrigno, dude looks normal.

    I prefer sites that have a duplicate member feature..
    Lets say a member : Ferocious Bubble for ex. makes a new account as LittleGirlyMan69

    a thread will pop up notifying everyone of this...

    The guys still pretty big but nothing out of ordinary for a guy who trains hard. You talking about the Toyota commercial?

    LMFAO! Exactly what I was thinking......

    Me and my father were just talking about him a week or so ago. He looks great for his age..... regardless of the fact that he's a straight up dick......

    Well this was mainly a thread out of boredom to see what people would think...
    my real thought was not so much on credit of advice, just merely BS stats.

    but I do agree many times personal results or body genetics has little to do with actual knowledge. .

    I worked at a moving company in san luis obispo and my work mates moved Lou's house (this was 7-8 years ago).. He gave each guy a hundred dollar tip.. I was like "did you ask him for help moving the amoir??" haha

    but as for the verification thing.. anyone on here long enough knows who is who here.. but verification to what extent?? i don't think anyone here wants to give out their real names to be on a list somewhere that can be subpoena'd by the FBI
