What it means to be a staff member on this site......

**Hazard** · 02-17-2011, 03:26 PM

There has been an unreal amount of people comming in here lately wanting advice regardless of their age, inexperience, or knowledge. Accepting the OFFER of becomming a staff member here means more than just a color change and a different title. It takes a lot to run a site..... as a staff member we do more than just answer posts. While we do answer posts, we also read through them to make sure rules aren't broken, we keep an eye on the spammers and amke sure they get banned, we keep an eye out for scammers to keep YOU safe.....

You don't become a staff member by being an asshole and not answering questions. The staff at this website KNOW their shit..... some more than others...... yes. It would be flat out IRRESPONSIBLE for anyone, not just a staff member, to give an 18 year old kid advice on how to cycle. What do you think would happen if I told some kid to go ahead and run his Dbol only cycle and this kid does it and gets hurt? What happens if his parents get on the computer and find his posts and they see that I told him to doit?

This sport requires a lot of dedication and hard work..... which goes against everything that a teenager stands for I guess. I have been there..... I wanted a built body as fast as possible..... but it DOES lead to problems. I had to take 3 years off from this sport to get my head screwed on straight and to grow the fvck up. I have made more progress in 18 months than I have since I began lifting at 16 years old.

As a staff member here:
- I will do the best I can to answer any questions as best as I can..... if I can't - i'll refer you to someone who can.
- I will NOT give out wreckless advice...... I don't care if you've been training for 4 years already..... If I don't think you are ready to cycle...... I will tell you just that.

If you have a problem with this website, the staff, or the methods we practice/preach - then go find another forum that will tell you what you want to hear. It's not going to happen here - so don't go making posts complaining about it..... it'll get you nowhere.

Lastly..... show some FVCKING RESPECT! A lot of guys VOLUNTEER their time and advice. Some of these guys (and girls

) have been around this site for a number of years..... they've shown respect to other members and in turn - they get it back. If you're a new guy and you're open to constructive criticism, you act like a human being, and you don't break the rules...... you're time here will be enjoyable. If not..... you'll be banned like the others and forgotten about in a matter of days.

The mark you leave here is up to you......

Well put Haz!

**-Ender-** · 02-17-2011, 03:33 PM

I hope the new members read this. AND understand it.

**Hazard** · 02-17-2011, 03:34 PM

I would also like to note that there are guys who have been here MANY years who are NOT staff...... these guys DONATE their time and knowledge also. Anyone who advises you, whether it's what you want to hear or not, is doing so on their OWN time.....

good post hazyzz

**marcus300** · 02-17-2011, 03:36 PM

Well done Haz,

I agree with everything you have said. Its been hard around here over with the influx of all these newbies but thats the price we take for being the No1 steroid forum on the net.Its so frustrating when you get some kid answering another kids question and he's telling him what he wants to hear,
Good post

**ghettoboyd** · 02-17-2011, 04:01 PM

great post haz and agreed 10000000%....

**layeazy** · 02-17-2011, 04:02 PM

Makes alot of sense i can imagine it wouldn't be that easy...

Good staff make for a good forum...

**Swifto** · 02-17-2011, 04:17 PM

Good post Haz.

I will also add that some of the questions and PM's we/staff get cannot be answered immediately. Please be patient with us. We have lives (like everyone else) and some of us get lots of PM's per day on various subjects and answer them for free and often spend a lot of time with the future progress of PM's as well.

Very true, but I charge kind of makes things easier

First off I agree it is a great post.... and yes we do try our best to protect from scammers...

Now as for the banner above I personally like it I think the colors are vibrant and the font is easy to read... However I do not think that is really what you were asking... No it is NOT a scam... in any way shape or form... while yes the names are close to the same they are not the same... and if you go to the website it clearly states

* These products are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease. These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. Our website and the domain name "********.com" is representative of products that may enhance blood levels of steroid hormones in the body. Anabolic Research, LLC is offering this very strong alternative to the highly toxic drug listed at the top of the page. This product is not to be used by anyone 18 years of age or younger. Use under a doctors supervision. This product is NOT a drug and should be used correctly. Use in conjunction with a well balanced diet and an intense bodybuilding or exercise program.

.Hope this will ease your mind and clears up any concerns you had with them being a scam or any of us allowing a scam here...

Thank you for your concern,

Respect

I think you need to look at it as a first impression, which it is and a bad one at that.

Giving you my own experience-

I found this site a few years ago, first thing I saw the banner....I left thinking this a scam web site.
I ended up back on this site a few months later, this only happened because I often have a lot time on my hands. I'm back, I read some stickies, was impressed and became a member.

First impressions...just saying.

**Inquisitor** · 02-17-2011, 07:09 PM

I am a relatively new member (7 or 8 months) and very inexperienced. This site is my lifeblood for safe and productive information. I have had more than one person on the street give me information that I found out to be harmful or just bogus by using this board and listening to the Staff. I am truly grateful for your help and dedication to us. Don't ever think you're not appreciated and needed, because you are. Thank you very, very, very much for all you do. I mean that sincerely.

**Bertuzzi** · 02-17-2011, 07:21 PM

These types of sites don't run on fresh air, they are not a charity for bodybuilders they need revenue to survive. If they got this revenue from sources (like many other sites do) that would highlight this forum to the authorities and our safety would be in jeopardy. We don't advertise we are a source board and that's why we are long standing and never have any problems with it being took down. The site in the banner clearly states what the products are and are not, if someone doesn't have enough experience to know this then he as no right taking steroids and he would be better off with the supplements in the banner! I think the name of the site and the advertising of the site is very clever and wish I owned it that's for sure! if you look in any bodybuilding magazine you will see many sites with similar names advertising similar products so to be honest these types of sites are all over our bodybuilding world giving the impression they do, its part of our world.

**cro** · 02-18-2011, 04:35 AM

im glad its not a source board. no chance of a shut down .hate not to see you post whores daily

I've noticed a trend lately...lots of mods getting stressed out by the incessent stupidity of spring breakers. Must be like tax time for accountants-the job becomes much more stressful.
