Knowledge needed for my 1st cycle of TEST

Those are all excellent reasons why you do not fit in here. As we have already stated, we do not advise steroids as a replacement for dedication, and proper diet and training. The OP in this thread is exactly the kind of person who we feel needs to make major changes and progressions before steroids should be used, and while you may feel your advice is sound, we feel it is irresponsible. We try to work as a team and point people in the right direction, sadly one person such as yourself telling them what they want to hear could likely send them down the wrong path.

I'm not advising anyone to do anything. I am providing information which is relevant, truthful and accurate and which is based on legitimate research.

The general consensus in medicine is that advising ANYONE to take anabolic steroids, irrespective of age, experience or otherwise is irresponsible.

Without a medicinal purpose, I can see why one would think. There are obvious risks in both regards. To the millions of men out there who are on TRT for deficiency levels of endogenous Testosterone wouldn't fall in the "irresponsible" category.

I noticed you left out 'helpful' and 'intelligent'.

Again, if you dont like the way we run this board.... there is a simple solution for you, leave.... log off, and dont log back on. Its easy to do... just go to the bottom of the main forum page, on the right hand side of the screen, it will say: Log Out xxxxx <---- This too is truthful and accurate, and it didnt take hardly any research.

My post was reasonably well written. I don't think anyone reading it would argue that there wasn't some intelligence behind it. The statements are there for people to debate. If there is an inaccuracy or the information presents hidden dangers that I don't see then please point them out and I'll correct them.

Comparatively, the moderator posts so far, including this one above have been condescending and dismissive. Instead of using your superior knowledge and experience to point out the dangers or inaccuracies you have persisted with veiled insults and threats of banning / asked me to leave.

The purpose of a forum is to exchange information. The information should be accurate and truthful so that people can make informed decisions about the topic at hand.

You have a hidden policy which precludes people from giving out some truthful information because you have formed an opinion that some hidden danger lies within.

While I am happy to comply with official board policies this particular one is not addressed in the FAQ.

It seems to me that you are confusing optimal muscle building AAS use with safe use of AAS. In effect you are saying if you are not eating like a bodybuilder, lifting like a bodybuilder, don't have the body of a 10 year + veteran bodybuilder then you don't have a right to use AAS.

AAS are not used only in bodybuilding, they are used in other sports and even outside sport. There was a report recently in the news that students were using AAS to improve their academic test scores because they increase confidence, energy levels and improve concentration during study and exam time.

I think you owe it to all users, as moderators, to be truthful. A policy giving flawed information, in the hope that they won't use AAS, is a bad policy and probably not what you were recruited to do when you became a moderator. If you want to dissuade people from AAS's that can be done just as effectively with the truth and people will respect what you say more then if they feel they are being dealt with less then honestly.
