“Rate My Physique” is de facto how this forum originally operated. Most of the people would readily critique posted physiques. It was when a newbe posted his picture and asked for help that caused all of the “problems.” This way, with the new title, everyone knows what’s in store when posting a picture. It should, if anything, discourage what most forum fans consider inappropriate participation.
Pardon me, sir, but what the hell does this have to do with anything? This is my job; it isn’t like I stand to benefit any more if this feature succeeds. The fact that I get paid is one small part of what keeps this site running for you… for FREE.
I think it could work as long as people know this particular section will end up being a joke. Those that dont want to look at wankers posting pics of themselves can just avoid the forum.
People who have serious pics to post can use the Bodybuilding forum.
EDIT: I should say that I will be one of the people that will visit the forum and have a laugh at the wankers. I just hope that there is a place where people can be taken seriously.
Thanks to T-Nation for being willing to change and try out new stuff. It is part of what makes this site great.

It’s actually exactly the same as it was, except now you can include a numeric rating with your criticisms. Makes it easier to determine which threads you want to look at with the rating displayed right in the category.

Well, I say KUDOS to T-Nation for always looking for ways to improve this site. Some people will complain no matter what.
Many of the threads now under “Rate My Physique” simply don’t seem to “fit” there. Also, Jillybop has brought up a legitimate concern about people perhaps wanting ADVICE…but not a “rating”.
It also seems to me that “Article Discussion” could have a separate heading.

So my thoughts/suggestions:
Article Discussion
Bodybuilding/Training Logs
Rate My Physique
Supplements and Nutrition
Strength Sports
Sex and the Male Animal
Politics and World Issues
Steroids
T-Nation Tech Support
Mufasa

I agree with this. Is there any way there can still be a separate forum for strength sports and the other forums that never caused problems? It just seems that there are alot less options now and I’m not sure that is helping. Any response is greatly appreciated.

Strength sports still has its own forum.[/quote]
Yea I realized that after I posted but I mean Beginners, Over 35, Building a Better Body type of stuff. It’s fine if Bodybuilding is the new Better Body forum but what about the beginners and the older crowd forum? Just seems like there aren’t enough forum choices as there were before.

AHAHAHAH. Rate me hot or not!
The 125lbs-ers are going to have a field day with this, then again, so are we. Nice.
That’s exactly what I thought when I saw the new name of the forum. Hot or Not.

I agree. Before you know it there’ll be temo’s. (Testosterone-emo’s - for those of you that haven’t caught on)
Meh, Its going to happen. We can sit back and see if it works. If TC doesnt like it then it will probably be changed again.
Forget the image of other sites with rating systems and think about what this could DO with the forum. The physiques get rated ANYWAY, those that are great are reviewed well, stay at the top longer, and get resurrected often. Shit physiques get 10 pages of mixed advice, argument, etc in 1-2 days then fade away. Its allready hot or not just without numnbers.
Its worth a try. Like TC said: “My progress, and Advice Wanted” threads can go anywhere else…

Agreed. After spending some time with the various changes here I find I like most of them. Take a day or two to acclimate, then if you have constructive criticism or a suggestion, feel free to hound TC. 8^0.
Mufasa, that’s a great idea about adding an “Article Discussion” topic. I also think a link to MWA should be in the list regardless of whether or not they have the big banner. Hint, Hint, TC! 8^[

Regardless of past threads fitting or not, it’s time for a change with the photo forum, especially since you can post pictures in ALL of our forums.
We aren’t taking anything away from anyone. We’re simply narrowing the focus of this forum so that there’s no ambiguity about what to expect.
Posters seeking advice, for the most part, were not welcome in the Physique and Performance Photos, anyway. And many were humiliated when they tried.
With a title like “Rate My Physique,” there should be no doubt about what to expect.[/quote]
In a weird way, I think (and hope) this change is going to work out for the better. Think of it this way: There is nothing about this change that takes away from the fact that if someone wants to step into the limelight and say “Rate me”, we will be more than happy to provide a dead honest assessment sans the delicious sugar coating.
You will get a cold, plain, in your face score if you step on up. Period. You have been duly warned and there is no need for coddling.
