Has anyone?

I new to this site n only use it one my mobile so i havent read the rules n im jus goin along but it kinda seems like some of the rules r kinda strict. I mean i can understand the no insulting other members rule, cuz if u put a bunch of meatheads(no offense to anyone) together then shit is bound to pop off. But if someone wants someone to pm them to try n get sources for gear n take a chance then that kinda seems that it should be up to each of the members or not cuz they r the ones takin the risk. But hey its the rules n we jus have to follow them i guess. This is a pretty cool site i jus wish more ppl were willin to help out instead of their only advice bein either dnt do it or do research. Cuz if ur dumb enough not to do research to begin with then that person is the idiot right

It's not strict... That's like going on to a cop website and asking for info where you can bury bodies, cops are against crime... And there are 'laws' in place to stop people doing this, you can't turn around and go c'mon... But I should be able to know good burying places!.
As here there is, a non sourcing site, asks politely to not try and source... Here on the site. But go down the road and ask a guy where to bury a body and if your source is real, there's no strict rules against that, but goodluck with getting credible info.

Here you get great information... With a few rules in place to keep the site running and the majority of members safe.. Be pretty annoying if you got scammed every week wouldn't it, wouldn't be rushing back here to happily post in threads..

With your research though, just search up all the diff esters in there, quiz your mate on why it's so mixed, if he's completely clueless. Move on. He wants your money.

it shows this board is different and that people care.. if you allow people to just pm random people for sources all over the place w/ no restrictions then you are gonna have a lot of your members scammed, arrested, and more. there are open boards out there and they are nothing like elite.. nothing. if thats what you want go for it but you wont find the community you will here. this board is different because there are a ton of people willing to help you out and get you through anything that might come up.

take 5 mins at home one day and read the rules.. and look at the different boards..

Naw dude im not sayin anything bad bout elite. Jus thought it was kinda strict. I myself would never hookup with anyone on here to get gear. U never kno who is a cop or whatver n ppl bullshit nowadays too much n would prolly jus give ya some bullshit gear. Im not disagreeing at all. I jus thought that if ppl wanted to be idiots n take a chance then thats on them. But u all do have very valid points n make perfect sense

looks suspect,

READ THE RULES. my gawd there have been so many rules broken on this thread. asking for sources, criticizing the rules, insulting each other...

closing this down.

if the rules are too strict then the door is wide open.. you can go to another site that doesn't give a hoot about its members or protecting them. here we practice safe AAS use

It's not that difficult to realize that the rules are in place to protect members as well as the site. Like I said, 99% of the time people saying, "PM me for a great source" are out to scam you. You PM them and they give you an email and you get a list. List looks great and prices are awesome so you send money and you either never get anything in return or you get fake or severely underdosed gear. That's how that rule protects you.

How the rule protects the site is that if we allowed open sourcing or sourcing of any kind here we open Elite Fitness up to more scrutiny from the law. We attract attention already due to the nature of things we discuss here. Why give room for them to have probable cause?

This is something that is so obvious that I shouldn't even have to explain it, but now that I did...do you have a better understanding now of why the rules are what they are and in reality aren't so "strict" after all?
