JohnnyJuice sent me red karma!!

[slobberknocker]

I respect the fact that everyone has a right to be treated decently and with respect, but I also think it helps to have a thick skin in this world. I would have had more respect for you had you just shrugged it off.


I was banned at another board not too long ago because I told a 190 lb-er that he was an idiot for taking 3 grams of gear.

We live in a litigious society. I just wish people were a little tougher, and a little thicker of skin sometimes. Again, I respect your right to not be harassed, but I think you could just have easily ignored him and not tried to get him banned.

I'm sure you'd find that probably MANY more people than the mere 15 who complained (especially those that have been here for a long time) would rather see him around than to be banned.

Word of advice-you are starting to alienate many long-time members here .

Word. Majority should rule.

It depends on how many complaints we get from new members, current members, moderators, etc. In this case, this was voted on and action was taken after recieving a total of 15 complaints, and him recieving warnings from moderators as well as myself.

Frackal seems to have a thing about giving out red karma, doesn't he?

Yes you are correct in that we are getting rid of a few long term members. Some of these members should have been let go a LONG time ago as well.

We have not enforced our rules as much as we should have for the last few years (here on chat as it is the only problem board). But now we are.

Most of these "long term members" spent time and our money posting on this site for free. They used and learned from the wealth of knowledge that is Elite Fitness, for free. So I guess since they spent years here and broke most of our rules, and never spent a cent, we owe them something? Come on, this is a business, we need to run it like one.

Dont misunderstand, I often times have to let people go that I dont want to, but this isnt my house, its Georges.

Lets just try to have fun and not focus on the bad things. Look at it this way Almighty, you had a free Platinum membership for a while and never even told us. I sent you a PM and asked, you read it and never sent a response, did you get banned? No you didn't. Take the good with the bad and enjoy Elite!

That being said, please end this silly conversation and get back to learning or having some fun. Take care!

Yes, I do understand what it is to have a business, but alienating the people who really made the chat an interesting place to contribute and to be a part of is not the way to keep members here.
The anabolics board is understandably the staple of the site, but I think the chat has made it the success that it has been. I know the reason I stuck around was the not only that I could get good training/diet info, but I could talk to people with similar interests in a 'free and open environment". Unfortunately, it is not as free nor as open, and in my opinion I think it'll hurt you in the end.

Thats true, I did not get around to replying and explaining everything. (I actually had free plat for almost a year )

Nice. So you basically stole (used it without paying) something... and have the audacity to bitch about platinum and complain about things that were going on EF?? I find it even more interesting that the very site that MADE you, you have the nutsacks to come back here and talk shit about it... once you've ran off to a board that WOULD make you a mod.

Not cool bro, not cool at all. We've got a saying from my hood... never forget where you came from...
