George Spellwin could you explain the logic behind the moderator position?

Did the thought ever occur to you that though all of the elite board members had the chance to voice their opinions the opinions that carried THE MOST weight and THE ULTIMATE DECISIONS were not voiced PUBLICLY?
The last time I checked the vast majority of information whether it be valuable or frivolous IS FREE.
Though George is EXTREMELY TOLERANT and NEARLY BENDS OVER BACKWARDS TO ACCOMODATE THE MASSES.....MY PERSONAL OPINION - that is ME ALONE - is that all of you whiners oughtta be still. If you do not like the choice of mods, so be it. You have voiced your opinion and that's fine.
But for God's sake...if you do NOT like the way George runs things you can always frequent another board. I doubt you will find the diversity and wealth of information FREE OF CHARGE that you find here at eilte. Yes some of what goes on here is downright silly, but that DOES NOT NEGATE all of the serious accurate info that is dispensed on a daily basis.
When I was first made a moderator, I was stunned. Nobody asked me and I did not even think that I was REMOTELY qualified. Heck, I remember posts congratulating me and I thought it was a joke! There was only one other female mod at the time - TEXAS GUNS....and I did NOT KNOW THING ONE about a/s. I still have very limited knowledge about that particular topic......but still George and the some of the other mods before me felt that I had much to offer and would carry out my responsibilities well. Have I committed any errors in judgement? Of course! Have I done a good job? I dunno, haven't seen a paycheck nor a pinkslip.....when I see one, I will let you know.
Having said that, I was and still am extremely pleased to moderate George's board. It is a task that though I can not always give my full attention to (a little thing called life gets in the way sometimes hehehee), is one that I do attend to gladly. The benefits that come with the position have surpassed my wildest imagination...but they can not be characterized easily as you get out of it what you put into it. There are no set "perks" to this position. There are no "magic" powers. We are only supposed to keep the schmucks at bay and try to help people out if and when we can....as those before us did.
Could we PUHLEASE just give it a rest already?
Is that a good enough answer?

OK...so you are telling me that the supplements you purchase do NOT do what they SAY they are supposed to do? Are they cheaper quality and more expensive than what you buy at the local GNC or at any other place on the net?
I for one have seen MANY other sites that sell competing supplements promoted in countless posts...so what does this say?
Cone on, you can do better than that....that is quite a stretch wouldn't you say?

Free?
You raise a good point bikini.
George does do wonders. Runs a pretty good board and keeps it fresh by inducting New Skool mods every so often. He spends a good deal of time/money keeping the board running and updated.
But I don't think it's free. The e-mail address I use for this board is unpublished, I never use it in connection with any other sites. I run junkbuster for privacy and disable cookies. But I still get one or two fitness related spams daily (not including the cool mail [which I read] from Elitefitness). Selling addresses is a good way to make a little bit of cash on the side and there's nothing wrong with. But if you can profit off users, it's not actually free. If George doesn't do this, then I apologize, and you are 100% correct...but being 99% correct is good too

Well then when money stops coming in from my trainning programs I hold You can tell Mr. Spellwin why the percentages are down. And he is going to cut a few of these boards because bandwidth is to expensive!!!bikinimom said:
I never said his products don't work so not sure where you got that!!!!
I'm not here to argue I just saw no purpose in certain people becoming mods.
But as I said before this is a chat board!!
Re: SlashCode
And B.K. MOM!!!!
Nice Abs your doing good!!!!
Alot of people wouldn't find the time while raising children.
Keep it up..
Again I'm not arguing with people just looking for anwsers.
Hope you understand.
HAHAHAHAHAr00+ said:I say we switch to SlashCode bbs. That would end this problem right away. But then people like May would be modding down all the hetero's on the board

Yes BigJay.....Debate is good. New ideas are born out of conflict.
The supplement comment came from your mention of supporting the site with supplement purchases....
I don't want to argue with you or anyone else. It just seems like much adue about nothing.
If would seem most prudent if you would privately email George and I am sure that he would answer your questions satisfactorily.
I for one am glad that there are more moderators...this means more eyes to see negativity that needs to be dealt with and more help when members need it.
No more ARGUING!!!
Tequilla shooters for everybody - ON ME!!!
Nighty nite elite!
I'll see you all in my dreams.
