Attention please members

[needsize]

This situation in here without any mods is kinda starting to get pointless. There are certain members in here that are purposely starting flame fests with every post, and frankly I'm getting sick of it as this was the one forum where we didnt have to worry about that.
So why dont we use the karma system for what it was meant for, everytime someone starts a flame for no reason, give them red karma and eventually they will be banned for their actions. For example, AA started a post asking for an intelligent debate, so I responded to his post in the way that he asked, with no insults. His reponse was to insult me yet again, so I am giving him red karma for his childish actions. But on the other hand debaser gave me a good arguement, so he gets green karma

This is what the system was designed for, lets use it

 

[Tweakle]

agree in theory, but someone needs to get huge amounts of red before they're kicked off :Z

 

[ohashi]

I'm trying to do something about this...

 

[KillahBee]

I also agree in theory, but I am not sure this system is feasible. Why can't we get a mod here that cares about what this forum stands for?!

 

[WalkingBeast]

Its a start

 

[KillahBee]

Its a start

true. but what if this starts a ridiculous flame war or this forum turns into C&C where half the posts are people crying about getting flamed? I am not trying to start trouble, and i agree with both of you, I am just trying to do some forward-looking.

 

[forty-six & 2]

is it possible to simply ignore these immature wannabes?

 

[Toozee]

I completely agree.

 

[muscledog95]

sounds good. Also, I think if we just ignore them, then the pointless threads will be forced to the other page. Just don't respond to the pointless, childish posts. Just my opinion

A fine plan if I do say so myself.

 

[needsize]

sometimes its hard not to respond to an insult that is aimed right at you, or even a post that is supposed to be a debate, but quickly turns into a flame war. I'm always into debating as thats how we learn, and all of us have lots we could learn.

The situation really does need some regular mods for this forum, I cant be one for some silly reasons, but BRR and I have worked that out, but I have given my recommendations as to who I think would be good for this forum

needsize YOU have a problem with ME that's clear. I did not say ANYTHING to you,I made a comment about juicers and you ASSUMED i meant you..that's not my fault or my intention.

How dare you claim i try to start flames,i act ONLY to try and help others avoid OVERTRAINING like i did for TWO years! sorry if my knowledge conflicts with your distorted horizon of truth.

if you have a problem with me pm me,or better still ignore every post i make ...but don't try to make me an outcast and be banned, THAT IS pathetic.

no wonder Dogg won't post here anymore..this section gets less and less members because of a clique of volume trainers who hound out any dissenters.

hah, crime? i didnt know people take discussion boards so serioiusly... its not worth it

 

[muscledog95]

Just keep in mind everyone. Its just the internet. The people that are blowing smoke out of their butts don't know you or I from adam. Ignore and the trash will go away

For those of you who haven't heard it before:

"Argueing on the internet is like competing in the Special Olympics, even if you win, you're still retarded."

Yep. That's a classic. I have to tell myself that periodically

And Needsize, this is a good idea. As some pointed out, it might not solve the whole problem; but the way I see it, that's no reason to not try it, either. Even a small return would be worth it IMO.

 

[Buddy_Christ]

hmmm, certain karmas aren't working. anyone know why?

 

[guldukat]

hmmm, certain karmas aren't working. anyone know why?

Curious. I just sent someone some karma and it seemed to work.

I tried to give Needsize some as well, but I need to "spread it around more" first. D'oH!

 

[Buddy_Christ]

everyone's is working for me (i've checked, havn't handed any out yet, i'm new and learning still ) cept one person's. maybe i already karma'd them, i can't remember.

 

[needsize]

AA, you have gone after me several times with your adolescent insults, so when you quote something that I said, along with the same insult yet again, its not too hard to draw conclusions...
I dont have a problem with you, I have a problem with your attitude. There are no cliques here, but everyone else is smart enough to recognize that not one single training system or approach is the best for every person in the world. But as soon as someone posts something that doesnt agree with the vast amount of knowlege that you have read, you immediately start insulting.
This forum is a place to share ideas and knowlege, not trash every training philosohpy other than the one you follow

That *might* be it bro. If there's any doubt, I'd ask a mod!
