Announcement What would you like to see changed on the forum?

[AstroSky]

I'll be the one to fix the user ratio of being active. We just need more promotion on TikTok. Dean can run ads soon probably or banners to make some income too.

 

[Whitepill]

@Dean @Nihilus
at the moment, we have 26,284 members. of those, we see max 100 active. that is 0.4%ish of the forum users active.
if someone is inactive for a long period of time (say 3-4 months) and has few messages/no sustenance, send an automated email saying that their account will be deleted. they have a week to respond, if they dont click "Do not delete my account" or dont respond, then delete the account automatically. ez

That sounds good ngl but they should have to have 0 posts

 

[Whitepill]

because inactive accounts with posts are usually significant and have threads/posts

 

[Whitepill]

It may have to be evaluated case to case though

 

[RAJ GHRANDHICK]

No it would be cruel and unethical

have somewhat stricter entry for accounts, because i see advertisements a lot. their usernames can help decipher it because usually the username will be the name of the product or company. also get rid of those call girl ads. so stupid,
also too many inactive people. make this place more active. people make an account, post 1 or 2 things, usually related to being asked for a rating (they contribute absolutely nothing and just want to feel validated).
basically better members
~0.2% of the forum is actually active and contributes

quality>quantity

hmmm maybe, get rid of accounts that have no activity and no sustenance as well (a few posts with no high iq info)? send an email telling their account will be deleted automatically unless they say no

@Dean @Nihilus

 

[sigma]

?

 

[RAJ GHRANDHICK]

?

I wouldn't my acc deleted if I didn't post enough

 

[sigma]

I wouldn't my acc deleted if I didn't post enough

no, i mean like if you had 5 messages that had no usefulness and were inactive for 4 months then delete

 

[RAJ GHRANDHICK]

no, i mean like if you had 5 messages that had no usefulness and were inactive for 4 months then delete

Those account should be temporarily terminated until the owner logs in and applies to get it back then its for the mods to converse with them and take their decision in 1 week

 

[RAJ GHRANDHICK]

more emojis and more reactions
get rid of the homepage asap

I want frog and wojak emojis and more emojis like this forums own emojis

I'm particularly getting very annoyed at the clear bias that is being seen against me and my threads. I provide advice because people want me to share OFTEN what iv done and what I personally do. If you don't like the advice I offer. Ignore me. Do not let biases get in the way of having a productive conversation. That is not needed. It's also a clear hindrance for knowledge in general. My of my threads is personal experience and what I adhear to.


I fully understand most of my advice is not scientific in nature. That's now how I approach things. Iv always done things holistically and I experiment and ask other people if they experienced the same results

Much like mewing which equally does not have enough scientific studies to back it up so can easily be dismissed by people who feel it's not worth trying because someone didn't do a massive double blind study on. Alot of the things I do is considered fringe. If you don't like this. Then ignore me. You clearly don't know how I do things or followed me long enough to understand that. If you don't care that's equally OK with me. I don't do this for instant gratification of validation. I do it to make a difference one step at a time over the long run. I prefer my advice to help people years later when they run across it and somehow it solves a issue they had. That's all I gotta say about that.

@Dean handle this dog and banish him forever he is an uneducated cunt that barely graduated high school telling an advanced degree holder like me that I am BIASED?!?
How the fuck is posting peer reviewed data that supports my claims biased in anyway? It just means what I am saying is scientifically proven to be a fact not an opinion

people are allowed to argue points... nobody is expected to constantly agree with you. a productive conversation is not everyone collectively nodding, it is open discussion. censorship prevents that, and it causes lack of trust and negativity

i am sorry but i am not a mod. if i were i would obviously prevent the mod abuse

Not a mod anymore and this is sad tbh

Exactly
@AstroSky please make my post visible again I did not call you any names I simply disagreed with what you said because it’s simply not true.

As an ifbb pro I actually have experience with this and have had discussions with phds that have debunked the caffeine causes fat gain argument. It’s simply not true bro you just can’t go deleting comments that disprove your claims!

 

[Rkelly]

@Dean
This forum has great potential but forum growth should not come at the expense of taking away the freedom of speech.

I’m fine with @AstroSky or anyone else making claims even if they are incorrect, after all being wrong is just part of the growing process.

What I’m not fine with is people abusing their privileges to make incorrect claims and then preventing anyone from rebutting their false claim.
Both sides, incorrect and correct, should be allowed to speak.

This is especially harmful when people who state objectively correct information get muzzled because the very next step is the ensuing of dangerous misinformation which can result at best in suboptimal results and at worst bodily harm or even death.

Nothing wrong with saying caffeine should be moderated.

 

[AstroSky]

@sigma @Rkelly weren't you a mod, please handle him

Honestly fuck you in nicest way possible. I don't like you. Eat shit.

 

[Rkelly]

Nothing wrong with saying caffeine should be moderated.

Nothing wrong with what I stated either.
Please make my post visible again, what you are doing is abusing your power by making it impossible for others to respond to your false claims.
And you did in fact state more than moderating caffeine intake.
You made reductionist mechanistic claims that don’t actually pan out as expected when you perform scientific experiments on humans that investigate the very claims and concerns you have.

 

[softlysoftly]

Honestly f**k you in nicest way possible. I don't like you. Eat shit.

boo hoo you don't like people that prove you wrong who gives a shit you egotistical low iq f*g

 

[AstroSky]

Idc? With out me this site wouldn't grow like it should. I'm needed. You don't need to be respected when you got influence. So eat my protein filled shit. Ignore me. Move on.

I don't know how you have the patience to respond respectfully to someone who is so arrogantly incorrect and abusive of their powers.

Never I will continue to call out misinformation. People literally die and go the hopital and have their livelihoods destroyed because of misinformation. The truth must prevail not you precious little ego you braindead monkey

Avoid coffee If your addicted to it and limit things in moderation guess my info will kill people.

Holy shit you see this @sigma @Whitepill !
Bro that’s borderline power tripping megalomaniac type shit akin to what someone like hitler would say.

I understand you have influence but with great power comes great responsibility.
You need to be careful of what you say and fact check your claims because many gullible young kids will blindly follow incorrect advice given by you leading to their demise.

 

[softlysoftly]

not what you said you slimy cunt you claimed caffeine intake will lead to fat gain which has been patently proven to be false!!!!!
GO LOOK AT THE HUMAN RANDOMIZED CONTROL TRIALS!!!!! What you are saying is false and reductionist like @Rkelly already pointed out!
You failed to look at the big picture mechanistically and you failed to look at the scientific data that already investigated your claims leading you to come to erroneous and false conclusions.

All we did was like point that out and instead of being humble and taking correction you abuse your powers by taking away free speech just to preserve your ego.
It can be embarrassing and hurtful to the ego to be wrong but its far worse to take away free speech and stifle those who speak the truth.

 

[Rkelly]

@Dean if this isn’t resolved within 24hrs I will officially leave this forum, I’m not going to put up with power tripping maniacs hellbent on spreading misinformation and stopping free speech just to protect their overinflated egos.

Yeah... youre basically saying that other people's opinions dont matter and you are more important and can do whatever you want because you have power and influence. you abuse your power and reputation. its akin to those celebrities and politicians which get away with whatever they want

That's a interesting perspective. I just respond based on how I'm treated. I'll match your energy. It's that simple. I'm liked by many people and hated by few. That's because I make friends. But of course I don't make friends with everyone. That's fair too.

Dude I didn’t even call you any names or curse you out.
I never even questioned your intentions I trust they are good.

I just ask that you please reverse the posts you deleted? Can you do that much? Why do you get to make a claim and keep it up while mine gets taken down? That’s not fair bro my intentions are as just as good as yours.

I noticed you didn't get involved into this and i must have deleted assuming it was to do with softly sorry. I'll restore it. My bad i take full responsibility

but not too busy to respond??! do you really think we are as stupid as you?

 

[AstroSky]

but not too busy to respond??! do you really think we are as stupid as you?

My work requires me to manage various aspects of a facility, which involves intermittent breaks throughout the day. This setup makes it challenging to use the site. I assure you that the irregularity of my responses is not a matter of preference or selective communication. Running a business demands my attention in multiple areas simultaneously, from overseeing operations and managing customer relations to ensuring all paperwork is accurately processed. Despite these demands, I make a concerted effort to respond whenever I can. I am not working at midnight or morning. In the case of what your referring to. I had a ton of work to catch up to and would quickly dip in out chipping away at what I had to.

 

[RAJ GHRANDHICK]

hmm, i was thinking an email, and if they dont respond in a week or they say "ok, delete my account" then have it deleted

Most people don't check emails

[tami_26]

BOTH SIDES NEED TO CHILL
@AstroSky you need to reflect cause you are starting to sound like some narc cult leader, it's good to challenged idk why you are offended by it, maybe your ego got hurt (happens to everyone) or something idk.

@softlysoftly I get you disagree but throwing insults doesn't resolve anything.
You both let this get beside yourselves so fix it or just draw a line on it.

I understand you see it that way and see me react but I only have a problem with softly. Iv been on these places for years. I have my own community and have dealt with hate for as long as i can remember. It gets real old when it's the same users but with new faces. I am a character unintentionally as I'm just being myself. I already did "reflecting" as I'm no longer interested in entertaining softly. He's about to be ban for breaking the rules one too many times. For good reasons. He is a legit toxic bully. My reactions to his abuse is narcissistic abuse. Plain and simple


This is much like how someone is abused in relationships and the narc records them having a freak out and then people assume the person having the freak out is the issue when really it was the narc that provoked the person to react defensively. Very common tactic.


It's covert and gaslighting.
