Mod???? (training board regulars get in here - George - BRR you too! - vel)

BigNate was one of our finest. He was a frequent and regular poster, always informed, considered and a pleasure to read.

One day they made him a mod and it all ended just like CasualBB before him.

Does the bane of mod-dom drive people away?
 
Re: What Happened To Our Mod????

You can't take someone who isn't actively involved, make them a mod, and then expect them to become active. If they're already active, and they become a mod, they'll remain active.

I hope you're not suggesting that anyone would be chosen to be a mod due to not posting much. That would suggest a conspiracy to keep us effectively modless with only a string of paper figureheads for our beloved forum of small bros.

We haven't seen Madcow posting on here for a month or so. Maybe it's time he was made a mod.
 
Re: What Happened To Our Mod????

Look guys. Fact is, we've been down this road before. The decision was made to appoint a mod who was not active here and has not become active here.

THAT WASN'T AN ACCIDENT.

It ain't gonna change now.

My best guess is what we mentioned before: people who would make good mods for the training forum don't push supplements or try to sell bullshit. This forum makes no money. The "powers that be" would be happy if we all left and the BB'ing voodoo / supplement whores took over.

Actually I asked him - can't think of a better person.
He doesn't have the time.

:(
 
Re: What Happened To Our Mod????

I remember Madcow was on the list a couple of years back. I think the role of Elite Mentor would be more suitable for Madcow.
 
Re: What Happened To Our Mod????

One more thought and I could be wrong - it seems to me that the majority of people post on the Women's forum or the AS board (including their training) so this board doesn't seem to get the traffic you would think it would. Yet, the group of people that do make up this particular board (you guys) really just look to each other and truthfully the fact of the matter is none of you are Plat so you won't get looked upon being a mod. (I'm not saying this to be bitchy - I'm just stating the facts of which no mod here has any control over).

So since we've been here before...


Who would YOU like to see as a mod here (keep it on this thread) - post up your top 3 people (plat and not plat).

There are definitely many other great & knowledgable and helpful bros, but the three you've listed are three of the best.
 
Re: What Happened To Our Mod????

Al would also be a great mod choice haha I thought about ya after I posted already bro.
 
Re: What Happened To Our Mod????

I'm sure that some of the non-Plats here would be happy to re-up their lapsed Plat membership if the need arose.
 
Re: What Happened To Our Mod????

I wuz gonna suggest Al.
BiggT, Tweakle? Don't know them that well, but they seem sold bros.

Re: ...Our Mod???? (training board regulars get in here)

Sarge, BiggT, Tweakle, Al420, Cynical, Wump. I think you've got the good ones already on the list.
 
Re: ...Our Mod???? (training board regulars get in here)

Make sure you pick someone who takes the position too seriously and thinks they've been endowed with god-like powers and deletes every post they don't like.

I don't think any of those guys have that quality we're looking for here.

Oops, sorry.
 
Re: ...Our Mod???? (training board regulars get in here)

In seriousness: cynical simien, blutwump.

Same people we said last time we had this exact same conversation, which resulted in absolutely nothing except a carpetbagger being appointed "mod" and then disappearing after 5 obligatory posts.

Actually, if you appoint me Mod, I could do the exact same thing. I've always wanted to put "Internet Mod" on my resume. I ain't gonna earn it, so I'll try begging, LOL.
 
Re: ...Our Mod???? (training board regulars get in here)

I swear by all that is good and free in the land...

If I receive Modship, no one shall e-starve, be e-wimpy, or be e-scared of e-asshats any longer.

Just be careful what you wish for. I'm real ignorant of how modding works on this kind of board but I do know that when your get away/escape/hobby becomes to feel like a job, that's never a good thing. So make sure u know what u're getting yourself in for guys.

Yes silver shadow is a great guy.. and I think proto is a great choice as well, don't let his sarcasm fool ya.
 
Re: ...Our Mod???? (training board regulars get in here)

LOL, I'd volunteer, (been a mod on various other boards), however, it appears the forum is looking for someone to mentor and advise as opposed to actually moderate the forum.
 
Re: ...Our Mod???? (training board regulars get in here)

it would be even hotter if it were nearly-passed-out drunk puke, that's the ultimate come-on for us internet don juans

I prefer to be able to act like an immature douche when i feel like it & I R INTENRT mod already @ IAs

BW for mod. and CS. and Al if he sends me free amp 360 and gives me some phat K

To mod it does restrict what and how you say things, the information is the same, but there are alot of politics that go on... if you can stay out of that, stay true to yourself and negate self righteous thinking you can still be effective..

I think BW, CS and Sarge have what it takes to do a good job at moderating the forum as well as mentoring and advising. I never thought madcow would have been interested in moderating, even though his advice was second to none.
 
Re: ...Our Mod???? (training board regulars get in here)

I agree with who everybody mentioned...Sarge, CS, SS, Tweakle, Al.

I'm flattered I was mentioned, but honestly, I'd be happy if I could just get the subheading under my handle changed to ''good bro''.
 
Re: ...Our Mod???? (training board regulars get in here)

not trying to be too negative but the exact same thing happened last time. we made a list, had mods coming over saying they agree with us and they would discuss it. later we got bignate as a mod...

Re: ...Our Mod???? (training board regulars get in here)

Ah. Come on. I was expecting some more speeches than that. How about free steroids for all. Or taking steroids off the control substance list. Or free oly weight sets for all. Insurance coverage for gym dues. :Popcorn:
You guys can do better. That list looks good tho.

Re: ...Our Mod???? (training board regulars get in here)

I'll vote for you! Too bad AI/LT got kicked, he'd have made a great court jester.
 
Re: ...Our Mod???? (training board regulars get in here)

i believe that I should be considered for mod in the long term. I am more in touch with unorthodox areas of weightlifting.

e.g. you shouldn't wear gloves

that's a very overwhelming statement, but probably just short of the popular vote. maybe next campaign, chief.

we need a 'jkurz only' section where he can answer AND ask the same questions over and over and over and over and over and over and over and.........it would help him beat the disease of posting in the AAS section.

mad dipz said:

yeah, I mean I've got lots of new ideas on weightlifting.

for example, don't wear gloves, don't use a smith machine, dont use back supports, use cables, take 145g of whey protein per day the list is endless.

don't be too hasty with your votes, I feel I'm primed for this position

As long as the new mod deadlifts then it's ok with me.

Re: ...Our Mod???? (training board regulars get in here)

Oceano said:
So you're one of those gym baldies???!?

I'd love to know the exact science behind it all so I can make an informed decision about whether to return to lifting.

All replies are welcome...

That guys wide of the mark.

Oceano said:
I'm genuinely concerned.

You see, I'm not the normal train three times a week sorta guy. If I train I do it every day and at full 120% intensity.

Now, I'm sure this isn't good for my follicles. But if I limit my sessions to 30 minutes I'd be able to get the benefits without the cortisol being released. However, I'm still concerned about the DHT...

I would like to know why Oceano should be considered for mod (which he shouldn't) when he obviously
a) doesn't lift right now
b) doesn't plan to lift
c) doesn't listen to people in his own threads
and d) doesn't know that much about weight training.

I repeat my earlier statement Al420 and Blutwump for mod. BiggT would be awesome, but I doubt he has the time. AB would be cool, as would Illuminati, and G5. Please, stick to people that KNOW about weightlifting through experience, not morons that think they know everything.

Its off-season for me in my chosen althletic endeavours

Of course I plan to lift and when I get going I'm more obsessive about it than anyone.

s8nlilhlpr said:

Of course I do. But none of the responses showed any understanding of the hormonal complexities involved with mpb.

s8nlilhlpr said:

Dude, I've been doing it for almost a decade now. I know infinitely more about it than you do. Keep workin those mirror muscles noob.

Stop tryna jump on the jocks of other posters. Stand on your own to feet.

I will bring enthusiasm and dedication to the position of moderator as I do to any other positions which I acquire in real life. I also bring an alternative perspective and believe that if you do the same as everyone else you will never get ahead. You must on occasions think outside the box

You my friend seem very negative and I would not trust you advocacies.

Again, I would urge the mods to consider my application very carefully.

Re: ...Our Mod???? (training board regulars get in here)

Hope this is not a dead issue - seems like EF has some other crap to deal with right now, but I think the issue needs to be addressed.

Blut may be needed on the AAS board it seems... Maybe myself as well. Can Fat Lifters Juice?

Yes they can.
 
Re: ...Our Mod???? (training board regulars get in here)

I prefer the term 'portly'. I guess 'stout' would be acceptable, too.

No other drinks come to mind as euphemisms for the more Falstaffian physique.
