Newbies need to turn their VIEW SIGS on!

[SwoleCat]

If I get one more half assed, disrespectful, mis-spelled, 5th grade composed, totally assinine request for a source check, I'm going to suspend the person who does it. It's very insulting to be asked such stupid shit when I am here for one purpose only, that being the workout/diet forums and moderation of those and the Lounge.

Kiss my ass on your illegal activity involvement and trying to involve me in it.



I will no longer respond with a quaint little explanation, but will just hand out suspensions. Not even giving one the respect to have looked over the entire signature and disclaimers before asking such a question, is immature and illustrates nothing but a lack of respect.

most newbs are usually to lazy to read that it it says NO SOURCE CHECKS OR AAS INFORMATION WHATSOEVER!!
I AM HERE FOR NUTRITION/WORKOUT/FITNESS EDUCATION ONLy...and if they were here long enough they would know ur tryin to run a business and cant be involved with that shit...oh well...

[SwoleCat]

Exactly.

There are quite a few mods/vets here who do not do source checks or wish to be involved w/that at all. Just because it's an educational board about AAS doesn't mean that the mods all know where you can get steroids.

We are here for other reasons you know. Where this mis-conception comes from I have no idea, could be immature assuming, but I'm going to do what I can to put a stop to that shit.

Maybe it comes from the fact that you are a Mod on a boadr called STEROID.COM? Sure, people should read the bottom of your sig, but a mistake is a mistake and like it or not we all make them. Handing out a suspension for someone asking a mod for a source check is asanine in itself.

Personally i believe any American staff members on this board should avoid doing source checks, that’s aiding someone in acquiring illegal drugs.

I hate when people miss the obvious stuff I've already covered.

You will want to read what I wrote ONCE AGAIN above.

People are ASSUMING that mods are automatically involved in illegal activity (in the U.S) and that's wrong.

As to your opinion as to what is "assinine" regarding suspensions, I couldn't care less.

Exactly. Those asking such sensitive questions should also have the respect to seek out who does this "CHECK" shit and who doesn't.

There are instructions to newbies that says to FIND A MOD WHO DOES CHECKS, so when you contact one who does not, what does that say about following the rules/procedures here?

Not much.

hey swole, can i have a source check?

[SwoleCat]

In all actuality I won't suspend the person, no, but they'll have one hell of a hard time gathering the information they seek.

It's insulting, and if you aren't one who is insulted as such, don't pass judgement.

All I meant was that no matter how many threads you start about not asking you for source checks, you are always going to get new members asking you for them. You are a well respected member here Swolecat, and who's to say some guy's friend didn't send him here and say "hey this guy Swolecxat knows his shit, I'd listen to whatever advice he gives."? Weren't you excited when you got your first source?

I understand that my name is well known, that being said it should also be well known why I am here and what I assist with and do not assist with.

As far as me being excited about a source, no, I don't have any reason to be looking for illegal activity on the Internet, that's not what I'm about and I've never done that and won't ever do such a thing. Not sure why you would think that, but that's my point about people assuming.

To a point I agree with you. "we are here only to hand out advice"...usually to gain enough perspective to give out advice, you have to have experience. If you are claiming to be the guru of steroids and fitness. Then I'm sure it is obvious to see why "noobs" ask you for sources. Don't forget the meaning of the word noob. It might aid you, while wondering why so many questions come your way.

On the other hand. It is illegal in some countries. (obviously) And to be even more obvious, asking someone from one of those countries for a source check....is a tad bit careless.

exactly...people take it to lightly and think they wont get caught. some people dont want those email's/pm's on there comp...sounds stupid but source checks are a privilage...u cant just sign up and ask for a source check u should contribute to the board and earn it...

Bumpage...

K, my rant is over.

I'll just handle these on a case by case basis, dependent upon mood.
