I think it's time that this borad finds a new way to classify it's members...I have been learning from and watching this board for over two years and there are 12 year olds that have been on this board for two weeks with more posts...It's time for a new system so that new people to the board will know that the info they get is from a well informed individual and not a pimple faced jr high kid with a lap top..perhaps the moderators who read all these posts everyday should keep tabs on who's posting and at the end of every month make recomendations as to the status of individuals, i dunno just a thought..

That seems like a logical approach to the situation, but, anyone who has a fair amount of prior knowledge should be able to distinguish a valid reply from an invalid one.

This topic has been beaten to death, but I definately agree.

I'm here to learn about AS. I do know quite a bit about diet/nutrition and training, but I don't claim to know much about AS. I have a lot of posts because I'm on here all day while I work.

My point exactly, i have been learning from here for so long, simply because i have had a lot to learn, which is why after all this time i only have a few posts, because i dont want to mislead others..i leave the mentoring to those qualified, but most are not following my lead, at least not recently..

youve been around a while and you should know what to pay attention to and what to take with a grain of salt. i have the "pro card" moniker but in no way am i a pro. its just an ego thing , it means nothing.
example: alot of my posts have been flames and bullshit bumps...a guy like fuckenshredded has half the posts i do but 80% are dead on valid. i guess what i was getting at is a post is a post and if it doesnt concern you , dont pay any attention to it. if you like it , go with it.
besides , the mods have better things to do than sit around and tally up 20,000 mebers post and see who deserves what.

a multiple choice test that can be accessed every 90 days per username....it is like a driver test...gives you a score...you keep it once you got it....not hard to set up and run from the web at all..

All of this when I'm so close to "Pro" status?!? j/k

Seriously, don't pay attention to the titles, let people's words speak for themselves. As far as I'm concerned, we don't need ANY titles, but the current way doesn't bother me either. Judge on what people write.

hey flex, when george redid the board , he added the staus (ama/pro)just for fun. it dont mean anything. i have been here since febuary and your right , they have new people here who dont know !@#$ and have twice of what i have. the advantage of being around and following the board for so long , is you know who you can trust and who you cant. this board is great and i am very glad to be a part of this board i read and post on others and they sure dont compare to this one. george has done a great thing with this board and i am glad i ran a cross it. we have lost some great people because of the stupidity that goes on here but i stick it out, this is another place for me to come home to.

This is getting carried away bros.

I'm sorry but someone would have to be one DUMB SOB to go by how many posts some guy has on a board on the internet without double checking it first.

500 minimum post would be a start, too high for all the stupid kids to hang around and reach it, therefore only people who are on this board for the long term will reach 500 and be pro.

I agree with ajc1977. No one should take anything that someone tells them on here as gospel. Check it out! No matter how many posts the person had. I think anyone that is seriously doing what we do know that anyway.

I have learned more from drawing on the empiracle experiences of this boards members than I did reading countless books, websites...etc. I just got my "pro-card", and am undeserving of such a designation. I have much more to learn...this is a great board!
