Without FLAMES, With RESTRAINT!

[Ercole]

I don't want to suggest that all young posters are immature, but it does seem that the "mental age" of posters has declined in recent months. I think there's been an influx of youngsters who are more interested in goofing around, typing dirty words, and namecalling than in more adult discourse.

One way we can discourage this is just by ignoring trolls. If we take the bait (as I've been known to do from time to time) it just makes things worse.

This sounds negative, but I still love these boards and have gotten to know some really interesting, intelligent, informed people on them.

good post slopain, i also really like how the board was 2 years ago, thats when i thought it was the funnist cause no one really insulted people that much and there was too much good info that everyone new, and the debates were great, back then thats all i used to do was read,learn and read even more, i didnt even post untill i was on the board for 3 months, i just did what all the vets said to do which was read and learn as much as u can before u start sticking yourself with something u have no idea about, which is what alot of the newbies r doing these days. i think a post block would be great, where u cant post untill u been on the board for 3 month that way people can just read and learn for 3 months and then come out and ask the technical questions. just a suggestion

i am new to the board .i found the board by accident .but glad i did.im in my 30s i have done almost everything.i started doing juice when i was 20 yrs. old im not proud of that but im not ashamed either.when i started taking it you could get almost anything and everyone seemed to be willing to help out.now the laws make us hide behind keyboards.but i think androgens has improved my quailty of life.ive done a lot of sh t some i would recomend some i would not. i will try to help out when i can i hope you can help me when i need it just wanted to give a little bio. like each other or not were all part of a twisted little family h-train

BTW the Platinium board is probably the only place on EF where you can have a civilized discussion. It looks like EF back in 98....

It actually scares me that some of the idiots that post here may have access to gear.

Great post Slopain!

I have been here since Jan.2000, and have learned so much.

The wealth of knowlege here is First Class!

I dont post much here cause theres not much need to, when you can search the old post and usually find the answer.

You guys are absolutley right. I have been here longer than alot of people, and all I do is read, read and then read some more. I don't give info. because I don't feel that I should or that what works for me would work the same for someone else, but alot of knowledgeable people are here and people should be reaping the benifits instead of flaming every damn post.

I agree 100%. It is a shame as this board was always the provider of excellent information and as you say good DEBATE. It is through this that we all have a common goal which is to laearn about the subject.
IMO the flames and the unwillingness to help has taken this board backwards instead of forwards and hence why many post elsewhere now.

Wrongun!

a simple BUMP for slopain, even though this has/had been said time and time again......
.....some will just never learn....thats mainly the reason i myself have dissappeared for some time......
...is the platinium board; really like the old elite....

..one other note..it is good to see some of the vets popping back up, i cant remember the last time i saw skywalker lurking!!!

Same old *%@#...........

So your a vet if you've been here for 2 years. That's a joke! Anyone remember Rockforrest or Slim Whittman? Only BigPappaPump probably does. That was about 5 years ago. Anyway, that was when this board was the best and it's only gone downhill since then. I come back once a year or so to see the same old crap about flaming and 12 years olds giving out cycle info. This place will never change until it's moderated properly and you can blame George for that. Until next year........get your act together kids!!!!
