[mekannik]

"The Shadow" stopped by last night . . . and his first order of business is threatening to ban Glenn Pendlay.

You know Glenn -- the most respected, most experienced poster on the training forum. You know, the guy who coaches olympic-level lifters and has been involved in strength sports for many years as both coach and competitor. You know, the guy we hope will critique our vids when we post 'em. You know, the guy who's comments are always positive, inspiring, and spot on. You know, the guy who knows more about olympic weightlifting than pretty much anybody posting online. But, yeah, maybe we should ban him b/c he's offering personal training now. Unbelievable.

How many mods have EVER offered helpful assistance in the training forum? How many have stopped by your journal and offered useful insight? But one stops by last night and does nothing but threaten to ban Glenn. Nicely done, The Shadow. Thanks for your support. Glenn is really a threat, you know. Banning him would be really helpful. Fact is, his offering on-line assistance is MORE helpful than any of the other CRAP that gets posted here daily. If he comes on here and lets us know he's got a book coming out, are you going to ban him? Because guess what? That book will probably be more helpful than anything else we get on here . . . and that's not b/c he's God, but b/c most of us are just feeling our way through this stuff, trying our best to learn w/ the resources at hand. And having support from, and access to, such a well-respected coach as Glenn is just an amazing resource. You should thank your lucky fucking stars that he's even posting here.

But, yeah, ban Glenn Pendlay. I mean, he doesn't have over 30,000 posts like you, The Shadow, so you know . . . Nice move. Glenn's a menace and really destroying EF. Unbelievable. I've got an idea: if you're a mod who doesn't do ANYTHING on the training forum, stay the fuck out. "Next time, try doing a little research, OK?" We're not talking about banning a spammer here. We're talking about banning a fucking top-notch national level coach with experience who's WILLING to offer positive, helpful comments FOR FREE. Banning Glenn would be an absolutely retarded move. And it's just disgusting that no mods EVER post anything useful here, and then one drops by and threatens to ban our key fucking resource. Get your head out of your ass.

Ban me for this if you want. But I challenge you to find ANYONE here who disagrees with me on this.

So does this mean we can bring back WalkingBeast as the resident mod?

Just asking....

Uhm, you're forgetting about Mr. Emperor Anthrax Invasion God - remember what I did for you!?

Better yet - what DIDN'T I do?

i second biggt's vote for AI being resident mod..HAHA.. freakin hilarious..

 

[Smurfy]

It's pretty sad that on a Fitness Discussion Board, there is no Resident Mod on the TRAINING FORUM - of all places for there not to be a Mod. WTF.

Meanwhile, there are about 80 Resident Mods over on C&C.

What would seem reasonable, would be to take the offending post down. Since it is against the rules to advertise, and as long as the post is up, Im still advertising!!!

This board is run for money. It doesn't make a lot, and it's very expensive to run, comparatively speaking.

Thus the sensitivity about any revenue generated from this board for which "a cut" is not received.

I think the staff here realize you're not going to be adding zeroes to your income from that one post, and are content to let it lie.

Don't worry about it, and welcome!

Everything has already been said by those that matter. However, here is another vote in support of Glenn!!

When i read Shadows comment on Glenn's post, i just thought what a dick this guy is.
