I'm utterly shocked - regarding new Mod choices

[mvmaxx]

I realize the point being made about the # of posts and I think ironmaster already addressed that better than I could. But what you guys need to realize is that a lot of these guys being recommended for mods, even though YES many of them being mentioned are qualified, obtain half their post count from the chat forum.

ironmaster and genarr3's posts are all strictly AS forum.

A Mod's disposition is actually more important than their post volume and, to some degree, even their AS knowldege.

It's important that any Mod NOT be a drama-magnet, and that they tend to calm people down and SOLVE problems, not be the cause of drama and controversy.

THAT is more important then their AS knowledge IMHO.

There are a bunch of guys who have AS knowledge. But to MOD the board, you need some knowledge, but more importantly, a level head and good sense of diplomacy.

In my opinion, there are a few names that are being nominated that do NOT meet that crtiteria. They all-too-often end up being involved in arguments and bitch-fests.

Again we are not nominating "the most educated and knowledgeable AS users and training experts" we are nominating people to MODERATE the boards and to help keep ORDER and keep things CIVIL.

If you can find BOTH in a person, great. However if they are an "expert" but cause too many arguments, too much drama, too much controversy, then they should NOT be a Mod.

It's like that old saying, deepzenpill......"still waters run deep".

Seriously, you are right, I don't jump on every thread even though I read the board every day. I like it when newer members get the opportunity to answer questions. It gives them the chance to become known, to be a part of the community, to pass on the knowledge they possess. This is how the brotherhood has always worked. The outside world is hostile to our way of life. It's important to have a place to go where we can find acceptance and understanding. I do post in those threads that I feel have not been adequately answered, or in which I have some unique information to offer.

My PM inbox and email are always maxed out because many good brothers prefer to ask questions in a more private way.
By the way, you have certainly become a real asset to the forum.

Thanks bro, and I completely understand where you're coming from. Participation on the "normal" threads definitely comes in waves. I've watched plenty of guys be extremely active and then get tired of saying the same things over and over again. I've gotten tired of reading the same things over and over again myself on the anabolic forum so I haven't been visiting it as frequently as before.

I guess that's why half my posts are now from the chat board

There are quite a few that have slipped through the "voting" process. IronMaster knows my respect for his knowledge, hell I've PM'd and sent many people to him with regards to HGH use.

Let's not forget 40butPumpin, and there are many others. SofaGeorge, I could go on and on.

I greatly appreciate all the support I've gotten from you guys, but as has already been posted, the last wave of new MODs had at least a few that weren't even members here. They were very knowledgeable, but as you might notice aren't here anymore.

I'll also add you might see some MODs listed that never seem to post. Some I imagine have been asked to resign, but the ones that remain are truly Elite MODs. So don't get down on Admin for keeping them.

Just as one example. Andy13. Do a search on his posts. You'll see REAL facts, not what someone has read last week, or gym myth nonsense. Some were flat out brilliant. I highly suggest some of the newer members go back and read them. You will learn more doing that then just browsing the most recent posts of the day.

Once again thanks to everyone that believes I'd be a capable MOD. I really don't have the words to express my appreciation.

 

[drveejay11]

I really appreciate the thought, mvmaxx. It's especially significant to me coming from those whom I hold in high regard like maxx, huck, drveejay, fonz, ulter and supergirl.

I have been saddened by the negative turn that this forum has taken of late, and I would make time to help in any capacity just to see the anabolic board return to the stature it once had.

This was a place where the brightest and most dedicated members of the enhanced bodybuilding community shared information and ideas. We treated one another like family. It can be like that again.

My boy's got SO MUCH DAMN CLASS!!!!!!!
