Hello all, please read this or else!

Hey boys and girls! Check it out. I pay $150 a month for this forum out of my own pocket and purposefully make it free for you. I do this for a couple reasons.

-I think strength athletes need a safe place to gather usefull information, media and contest results without alot of junk circulating the board.

-I personally enjoy internet discussion boards but don't like the way alot of them are moderated.

-I wanted to create a kid friendly place where younger lifters can find proper training methods to safely and effectly pursue greater strength instead of flipping through porno-muscle mags on the news stands.

I reiterate the fact that this forum is free. It is free conditionally however. There is a set of rules in place that I have allowed your moderator team to create. The three primary rules forbid discussion of illegal substances in any way, profanity, and harrassment and/or bold rudeness. These rules are being broken at an increasingly frequent rate. You need to understand that this is a major pain in the neck for the moderators. Everyone loves this forum because it is unique. It's uniqueness is due entirely to the fact that we have some really awesome people moderating this place to keep it under control. Your mod team deletes and/or edits more than one hundred posts daily! When you violate the rules, you are literally robbing time from one of our mods because they have to take a moment of their day to correct your error in judgement. Our mods try hard to make this place a cool spot to hang out. They do a fantastic job with very little reward. Please take the time to thank them from time to time.

This forum is awesome, and 99.999% of our visiters are high class individuals. I love learning and sharing on here daily but dislike the frustration of constantly cleaning peoples posts. So I am taking the time to kindly asking everyone to follow the rules and to alert you to our newest rule which goes into effect now. Any violation of the rules will result in a temporary ban of one week without notice.

Let's keep this place kid and mom friendly. It is our civic duty to allow people of all ages and moral values to safely visit us here.

Finally, please stop emailing our moderators with silly personal issues. They exist to aid you with problems like lost passwords or trouble logging in, etc. If you would like to report a post there is a link within each post to do so and we encourage you to use it.

Thank you guys for being a part of the internet's best strength discussion forum. I wish you all the best in your training and sincerely hope that you reach and even excede your goals. Merry Christmas and happy new year!

yours in strength,
Jesse

PS- Thank you again Ryan for your donation to the forum!


:rofl then I threw up in my mouth.

This is a 'warning' from marundes forum and I know it's got nothing to do with me what other people do but for fucks sake is this stuff for real !

Yea and.
Thats a serious amount of censorship! Maybe I'm miles off here but how is this in anyway in touch with reality. Seems to be more and more forums want to treat the members like children who need to be disciplined. I mean their are rules sure but some off this stuff is pc gone to fucking far. Lets keep everyone happy and safe just in case a 6 year old stumbles on by and starts to read.

And if anyone starts with the marunde type , " I want to thank the mods here" bullshit you can go fuck yourself because we don't need any of that tongue on ring action here

It's the idea that we need to protect everyone from reality in the form of heavy censorship that bugs me. Political correct thinking and it's offspring ' everyone is equal' causes more problems in this world then allowing people to be themselfs

I am confused about the statement, hes basicly turning what was always a heavly moded board into a police state.

I do sometimes wonder what world they live in, then i realised they want to turn the internet forum into a armish paradise. much like what there trying to do on MT.

I think that forum is the worst for having favoured members as well, Have you noticed that some threads begin with "any negative comments about this video will result in a ban" even when its a form check video?

I even outed Savvy, yes thats right Savvy from Bodybuilding.com on there when he was posting bullshit about a 20 rep deadlift program.

I gave all the links to his pervious posts on MT and bodybuilding.com

and NOTHING was done. Its like that place is a home for internet trolls.

In adition the Deasel wheels guy is there - the guy with the worst form on the internet and he is loved like a son by the mods. Nothing bad is ever said about him.

When he refers to kids and wives,

What kid browses a strongman forum? would they realy be that offended by our banter anyway? They say there trying to make it kid frendly ....

Why? why would anyone want kids posting on a forum? its just a nightmare to mod because all your gary glitter types will be makeing a bee line to the forum getting ready to get the kids in there gang :azz

And keeping it safe for wives? I realy think he lives in a epesode of the wonder years..

I dont know I feel realy unconfortable about the way that were FORCED to be PC,
I thought the whole thing about this new age was the right to choose.

Dan I feel it's the age we live in, PC gone to far, everyones equal, Must not risk offending anyone. Lets all high five everyone and god forbid anyone should speak their mind.
Lots of people submit videos on the internet, I'e done it myself, But some then get upset if someone says something negative! If your that fuckin sensitive don't upload the stuff. What do these people do upload their little video's then wait for everyone to tell them how good they are well I'm sorry but not everyone will be jerking off to your video. Pathetic.

What also made me laugh was the comment : "This forum is awesome, and 99.999% of our visitors are high class individuals" then explain why you still feel the need to take matters into your own hands and have to censor over 100 posts a day. Perhaps they don't really see the members as 'high class' as they say, maybe thats just blowing smoke.

You know I just can't believe people would put up with being treated like this; Are they so desperate to 'belong' to a group that they allow their words, thoughts and expressions to be censored like this.

0.0001% of the forum is posting 100posts a day? even on a good day I think they strugle to get a 100posts a day... curious...

I agree with you Tom, If you post a video and thats the only thing that day that upsets you then you have had a prety awsome day.

I dont understand why people use the forums when there that strict its just hinders my ability to comunicate as I cant write what I think. Im always trying to second guess how someone could possibly take offence to a figure of speach ect...

Plus to be fair, I think most people swear or use profanity not to offend but its just how they speak normaly.

And to then threaten the 99.999% of good members (I assume they have already banned the 0.001% who are wankers) with a week's ban
for any further bad post is going power mad. You say something thats not approved of, get an instant week ban and then what, you come back on and say ' Thank you sir can I have another'

Search took 0.01 seconds.


So, 43 posts in 24hrs.

I guess the other 57 got deleted.

But hey, whatever- to each their own. Jesse is a member here, since 05 I believe he has made 2 posts.

We edited the first heavily and deleted the second.

Maybe they are not editing over 100 posts every day. Maybe the clue is in the opening and last sentence of the quote.

Exactly.

"I'm OK, You're OK"

No challenging anything, taking people to task for their bullshit, no nothing.

As for the profanity, why can't they ask their webmaster to put a word filter on the board. EZBoard did this and converted all profanities to %^&#$ or whatever. This would save their moderators more "work" (as if it's work to be a mod, being a mod means you get to fuck with people!) than brow-beating everyone into saying "gosh golly gee whilickers batman!" instead of other stuff....

They want to make the board "mom and kid friendly". Noble goal, perhaps, except that I know plenty of "mom's" whose cussing would make a US Marine blush, and also what kind of "kid" is posting to an internet forum? unless by "kid" Maroonde means a high school kid. IMO, anyone in high school is pretty well versed in "Rated R" material and doesn't need to be shielded, only to learn what is appropriate at what times.

Well I see who's likely to be nominated as the next Mod around here if we should ever need one.

Course as it sits now, Jamie is editing or deleting well over 1 post a day, so...

So, how long do you think it'll be before someone says "You wouldn't say that to Jesse's face"?

I would but this is not directly about jesse, I think there is a real point here about censorship and what people will allow themselfs to be put through just to belong to a small minority group.
Then again fuck it maybe it is all about fucking with people . And if you think you can fuck with people as a moderator you really need to see what I look like in pink lycra! :ph43r:

Do you still have that pic of me? You know the one I sent you by mistake and asked you never to publish. Because some may get the wrong idea, I honestly fell onto it.
