Bro.....i dont know you at all and i dont wish to come across as offensive but i have to say this.Lately ive received a few p.ms` from you about plat members and bannings and all sorts of other nonsense.

Youre quite welcome to set down whatever rules you want around here mate-its your board after all,but why dont you try coming up with some better ones.Whats with all this plat bullshit anyway.No disrespect to anyone who wants to sign for up it but who are the plat members?.Do they know more than the rest of us????are they better in some way????do they have better ethics or moral judgement than the rest of us.I think not!Theres a vast number of plat members round here who dont even know what they are talkin about..........ive read allsorts lately ranging from "whats pct?", to "can u you drink winny"....all coming from plat members.And these are the guys you choose to moderate and decide on whats right or wrong and who gets banned and who stays???bro........im sure you have more intelligence than that.If you are looking for support for the forums itd be better to put it to the vote or go off reccomendations dont you think.Paying a monthly subscription doesnt automatically give someone expert aas knowledge OR sound judgement does it.
Much respect to all the good bros` out there who contribute to the sport.
Much luv

You know as well as I do that it is all about marketing; trying to get the power hungry types to go plat. It's been 4 months and I still have only 72 hours to take advantage of the savings on the lifetime membership. Unless each hour really translates to 2 days, damn, I better hurry.

I'm plat and really don't care for this bombing feature. I don't want "power"... I paid for this board to support it because I believe in it's use as a forum to exchange information.

Also -- it should take an act of god to delete or modify a thread. The rules for being able to delete a post should be very, very, very stringent (i.e. it reveals a source). As far as conspiracy threads, rants, and bad information go we should leave that stuff alone -- the members can correct that.

True a platinum membership doesn't make us any smarter, and true he is out to make money off us, but we pay because we are passionate about bodybuilding and aspects relating to the sport. I don't really care if he is profiting, the fact is that a niche is being filled and I am happy to pay it. I pay because I want to be part of a community, and because I pay and show a committment, we get certain features that non-plats get. This moderates the board and keeps the board from turning to crap and ensures that this board will continue to be good in the future.

It is just like any other club or whatever you want to call it, you have to pay your dues in order to contribute to the group. Who says that any joe smo off the street has any right to come off the street and do as the please. That fact is that it is a privilege not a right to be part of this board. And as a paying member I have a right to provide my input.

It is totally absured for someone to think that plats think they are smarter or have better ethics, the fact is that I pay and you don't. I am not smarter or have better judgement, I pay and I have a committment and an invested interest in seeing that the board continues to provide a quality environment.

As far as I know all the suggestions have been put to a vote, and plats should only be the ones who should be able to vote since we have proven, by paying, that we have an interest and a committment.

 

[BOOEY]

What about the people who have been here for a long time and have contributed mass amounts of knowledge to the board? Don't they have an interest and committment to EF?

 

[hard life]

Absolutely. But as far as voting and moderating it has to be left to plats. We all know who has been around, by there post count and how long, it is just when it comes to making changes and such, there has to be a safegaurd against people who maybe just post a couple time and then never see them again or people with bad intentions, etc... It comes down to, why am I paying?? there has to be something that sets paying and non-paying people apart. You've been around and are obviously committed, didn't mean to come across that way, my bad.
