I am putting this in AAS and not the gear pics board so more members will see it.
I get PM's from members on a daily basis asking about the gear pics board and what's allowed, what's not, etc.
EF has never been and will never be a source board, period. We aren't about that. Think of EF like this - should you happen to find some gear on the side of the road and want direction on how to use it - then you've come to the right place. Never mistake advice here for that of a doctor. EF is a conglomerate of users who speak mostly from experience and hear-say. Every now and then someone will cite medical journals or speak from a more scientific background. Take everything with a grain of salt and use it safely with regard to your health.
That being said, when someone straight up asks about a lab without posting pics, it is very often taken as spam. Think about it. If you wanted to advertise your own brand of gear, wouldn't you pose as a normal member and get the name out on forums? There are a shit ton of newbies who are always looking to get their hands on gear. Elite Fitness, being a site where AAS discussion is allowed, unintentionally acts as as venue of sales...but it's NOT! Newbies constantly PM me where to get AAS and I tell them they are on the wrong site. We do NOT and NEVER will condone sales of AAS. Nobody here is a source.
Now, when you post a picture on gear things change. It no longer seems like intentional spam. Rather, you are posting a stock photo of gear you happened to find somewhere and simply want to know if it's good to go before putting it in your body.
Under no circumstance do we talk about prices or list source emails, pages, without approval from admin or mods. And even then mods do not have authority to do this without permission from admin.
Any questions? Post them up or drop me a line. If you ever post something you think might be breaking the rules, you probably are.
I'm always here to help you stay safe and informed. And I'm not the only one - needto, alc and the rest of the mod team are here for you as well. All it takes is for you to reach out and we'll be glad to help.
swolio - OUT!
