EF should make a test(exam) for newbs.

[reaper99]

I think they should have a test for newbs to see what basic knowledge you have here before you can thread start. There is so much garbage shit here started by dumb teens and newbs who have no clue about anyhting in the field of AAS. We all say research but I think they take that as looking around for 10 min as hardcore research. for example what was the thread about a reputable supplier who was a top ten search on google. hilarious its nonsence and I am tired of seeing useless info take up valubale space here.

The forum would be empty...LOL

true.

Im a newbie and maybe they should have some kind of test before we get on here and that will give us the initiative to go and hunt for info to be able to chat with more advance people. But at least give us the direction to go to and learn. I think most new people get the wrong idea of this forum. I think most of them think this is a site know one has heard of and its really underground and this is where all the shit could be found. Maybe they should break up the forum in 2. The first half is for newbies to get all the stupid questions out of the way. (Including myself) Then once we advance to having more knowledge the moderator gives us a test and if we get a certain amount correct then we can move on to the 2 part.

But like stated above then the ones who know it all (smile) would not have any fun laughing at the stupid questions.

Well its more the approach to the question. You will be taken more seriously then alot of other newbs for that reason. I am not harping on all the newbs more less the youngens who have no business taking them.

 

[suaveyankees]

I understand what you mean......

 

[NickyE3]

yes
but it will never get implemented

 

[big.nad]

i think it could be a good idea. still basically a newbie myself altho i have to admit, i have done plenty of research myself, lots and lots of reading, but i would also point out that i have learnt just as much if not more by asking questions. i can see that some newbie questions r hilliarious at times but if some good bros actualy take the time to respond to newbies then that is also helping them along. isnt that what thiis forum is about??

The big thing is that an internet board is different than sitting down with someone. You type a few lines and you look like a moron. In real life you can interact with the guy and set him straight without him getting flamed. If we had a test on this board 99% of the new guys would fail it but that 1% of guys like us that really do some reading and research are the ones that generally do not need much help anyway.

What I think is needed in this sport is "An Idiots Guide to AAS Use" Many of the larger books are long and tedious to read. There needs to be something that covers the basic substances, PCT, abscesses and injecting etc. plus throw in a few other odds and ends. Make it like 20-50 pages and break it down into monkey terms.

I am the type of person that can read a PubMed article and understand it and I don't even have a med degree but there are guys out there that don't have that ability (or more importantly the desire) and they need good solid general info that they can use as a base to start their progression in the sport.

When I first looked into AAS I was 17, skinny and just joined the military. I had a friend give me some pills yet despite my ignorance of AAS I knew better than to just take something. I ended up getting the Underground Steroid Bible and read that bitch like it was the gospel of god. I did more reading and decided I would stay natty until I matured or hit my full genetic potential.

The greater problem we have is we live in the Fast Food/Internet/Instant Gratification age. People want big bodies NOW and they will risk their health to achieve that end. The greatest obstacle is the ignorance associated with that mentality. You can get your Big Mac and eat it too but there are consequences. Too many people do not understand that in this day and age there is no easy way out. Pop a pill and get big is their understanding of the sport.

If I ever get around to it I plan on writing a small book and getting it published. I have started working on a site similar to basekiller that will go over homebrewing. That is another area that we as a group of informed individuals need to work on.

The essence for me is that we do have a duty to the sport to help inform people to the benefits and dangers of this sport. There are too many people out there working against us and these newbies that enter the sport are not helping. They end up on MTV or the cover of the NY Times crying how AAS screwed up their lives.

I think there should be a minimum membership time before you can start a post... say minimum of 2 weeks or 20 posts

something liek that would work for the stupid can i drink winny... or can i cycle dbol, anavar, anadrol and proviron together for 8 weeks and do i need PCT for that? lol

thats really the best thing to do, then start posting when you know your shit!!

read read read and read some more. There is a big difference in starting a dumb thread and asking a dumb question in a thread to clear things in your own mind....make sense?

 

[cadey]

yes drrman im learning very fast and coming on the forum twice a day to read up on anything new and interesting and anything i might b able to use for future reference

I understand what you are saying. But think about the old saying, the only dumb question is the one that you don't ask. everyone here was a NEWBIE at one time, fact. Do not be afraid to post because the question you may be asking (no matter who ridicules you) may be the one that 50 people want to ask but are too scared to for that simple fact. Post up, you have alot of good people here that will help you trust me.

Implementing some type of exam for potential EF members is a step in the right direction, but it would never happen. Instead, perhaps having an age requirement to become a member would be more beneficial. The would prevent people who are clearly too young to be taking AAS in the first place, from acquiring potential sources and wasting our time reading their ridiculous posts and questions. There's a lot of great information on this site, but it should be reserved for those who have put some time and effort into building a solid body, naturally, and maxxed out on genetic potential before resorting to AAS.

difference in asking a question people might think is dumb and one that is dumb because they didn't read the rules or do a bit of research.

I mean its just fucking dumb when a guy says "im 5'8" tall, 150 lbs, i've been training for 6 months and am afraid of needles, my friend at the gym says i need winstrol only for 6 weeks. what kind do i need and where do i buy it"

Or they will just go somewhere else without anyone telling them they are too young.

That's unfortunate, but we can't police every site...just our own.

i do believe that newbies need to read the rules and do a ton research on anything that aas related. But yeah, to ask where to buy and what kind is just plain fucked up. k to you.
