I propose a T-Cell for all those who subject someone to a Tribunal out of spite or grudges from other forums. Also included should be a mandatory Scarlet Letter to be placed over their avatar until 90 days have passed or some kind hearted old timer cancels it.
Finally, anyone with less than a year on T-Nation (like that asshole Dickie_B) who tries to trib someone gets put in the Hall of Shame for 6 months.

Interesting, huh?
Due to the $99. a year membership fee, I imagine a pretty impressive fleet of folks talking endurance. I’ll give it a whirl and let you know!
How about a “Vice Cell” or “Luxury Cell” where people could talk about things like beer, cigars, and other unhealthy and self-indulgent habits?
I am drinking Superfood in a bottle of water right now; but last night I had a small glass of Ale Smith’s “Horny Devil.” And I just finished smoking an OpusX robusto.
Haven’t read through this entire thread, so forgive me if I mention something that has already been posted: I would love to participate in a steroid t-cell. Only “vets” and no “newbies”. Not that I have anything against the noobs, but I would like an area where experienced discussions on people’s usages can be discussed without the same old questions being asked over and over again. I think this is actually a common complaint in my favorite forum, the Steroid forum.

That is actually an awesome idea. Ive been staying away from posting as a way to self-punish myself for not having more tact, but when I saw this, yes, yes. I ask that a moderator please put a scarlet JWS over my avatar. Jackass with Sense. Slammin. Also, if their is going to be a hall of shame I want to be the first one in. I will wear my badge and rank with honor. Honor at telling it like it is.
I still dont get how even though I posted really early in HH’s trib, and then said point blank anonymity is a waste of time, that no one could interpret that as, hey I did the trib. wow! And cudos to rainjack for doing exactly what I did to HH, to Live. He just was classier about it.
Im rambling. I seriously support HH on this. I would like to see his grand vision come to pass. Bye, HH, my new gal pal. LMAO!!!
Having not read through the entire thread, I also apologize if this idea has already been suggested. How about an Outdoor sports men and women cell. This would be for fishing, hunting, shooting, hiking. No politics involved (gun debate) as we already have a political forum, just people sharing information related to the activities mentioned with slant to physical fitness related to these endeavors.

I also support the asshole forum. It’d be nice to be able to shamelessly rip into people and be a jerk in an appropriate context. I’m wanting to do this to bout half the posts I see, but I hold my tongue because it wouldn’t be appropriate, but in a forum just for flaming…
We could call it the Flaming Forum…

I vote for either FYAD or /t/. Both get the point across of an uncensored forum quite succinctly.
T-Cell Personal Trainers could have potential. Designed for folks who make a living through personal training in a gym or independently.
It could be a place for professionals to talk shop and discuss effective strategies. If T-Cell Alpha is a current rendition of the old Dog Pound, this could be a current version of the old Think Tank Dialogs.
I’ve always thought that a trainer/fitness coach/strength coach who subscribed to the training principles discussed on T-Nation is a different breed from the ACE-certified* meatheads wearing the t-shirt that says “STAFF” on the back.
Yes, we reserve the right to make fun of ACE-certified T-Cell members. That’s just the way it goes.
How about a paid membership T-cell. Charge a monthly or annual fee for people to join. This would have several benefits:
Increased income to the website
No trolls
Online coaches could give preference to paying members and be more active in those threads
Paying members could get cool stuff. Bring back the old try-cool-stuff program where random members were chosen to test equipment or other things, evaluate it and rate it. Paying members could also get preferential access to new supplements (e.g. Surge Fuel)

Does my CSCS mean I have to make fun of myself?[/quote]
Damn, I’m CFT through ISSA. Does that mean I can come in, but be a failar?

I think a T-Cell Sport Training.
This could be a range of sports, I am preferential to combat sports, but it could be other sport training as well - sport specific training, conditioning, recovery ideas, sport nutrition.[/quote]
I like this idea. I know prof x said he thinks str sports covers it, but i think CJK means something like football training, soccer, and the like. not strongman comps and the ilk.
