Me too.
They are willing to post half-nudies for the world to oggle, but gawd forbid they broadcast some a 1-5 number that ambiguously suggests the amount of money they have dropped on this site.

This right here illustrates one of the major problems.
First of all…MOST of those who can no longer post NEVER posted in T-Vixen.
However, for those that did, how exactly do you equate the willingness to show your body with forgoing all rights to privacy? It’s right up there with, “In that outfit, she was begging for it”. That’s bullshit. Yes. Anyone can find you on the internet. Also, anyone can follow you home from the grocery store and stalk you. Doesn’t make it right.
This isn’t directed specifically at you, but as a general statement. It just happened to be yours was an easy quote to grab.
Damn near anyone could have seen the path SAMA was going down. I personally find it laughable that topics like, “Rape tips” were NOT the reason it got shut down.
I would like to know what not to do to not be banned.
seems fair?

You should go back and read all the posts by TC, LowFatMatt, and Tim Patterson. They have hinted very strongly as to what happened to get those people banned and I doubt they will go into any more detail, nor should they have to.

Indeed. So what? Does it really affect your life that an online website levels 0 complain about its changes? Are you one of the admins or contributors?
I’ve spent thousands on this site’s supps on another account and I have posted pics of my ass on SAMA using this account, without showing my face. Still doesn’t mean I shouldn’t have any say on TN website changes because I’m 0 on the DN account. I, feel that I have contributed to the TN business hence I know I should complain if I’d like to (though I’m not even complaining about any change).
Whatever the mods and admins have decided is fine by me. That’s change and we deal with it.[/quote]
If you don’t mind my asking, why do you have a separate account for buying your supplements?

Now calm down, okay? If this wasn’t such a big deal to you, you wouldn’t write long paragraphs on the issue.[/quote]
Thanks for assuming discussion forums should be about something other than discussion – hey! Looks like we’ve inadvertently stumbled across the reason why some forums here are in the shitter! Thanks for (finally) pulling your weight around here, Nancy Drew.
TBH, though, I both understand and fully appreciate how difficult it must be for you to converse with another human being who happens to share an opinion different than your own without resorting to comments about sodomy, transsexualism, bleeding/traumatized genitalia, closet racism, your vast fortune and all the other intellectual gems you’ve left behind in your wake here.
If there was ever a case in point for what the Admin have been griping about…[/quote]
Maybe this is “off topic” with the tone of this thread, but it would be nice to have at least the standard training logs on the main page of the forum. Seems to me that would be on topic and with the best interest of Biotest. Plus the logs are my favorite part of the site.
I had also noticed that some of the logs I keep up with have gone dead. Is it safe to assume these logs are dead and for me to find them elsewhere?

No, they have not, in fact answered it at all. Several of the people who were banned did not post anywhere, really but in lifting logs.
The people who have been banned do not know why. Hinting will not answer any questions.

Maybe one persona was posting in the lifting logs, yet they had another account which they were using to create chaos?
I’m guessing that they know why, they are just playing innocent.

As I said in an earlier post, I only use that one when I’m in the States as it makes shipping easier.
I travel quite often, not in the States all the times and shipping taxes and costs can be a bitch. I consider that other account as my ‘‘business account’’. This one is just my ‘‘fun’’ one. I like to keep the two separate. If that makes sense.
My guess is the mods didn’t want the site becoming Memebase or 4Chan, either. After hearing some of the names that have been banned, I recalled that some of them tended to spend an inordinate amount of posts on memes and such.

The Sex and the Male Animal (SAMA) forum has been removed from the site due to its strong sexual content and the escalating problematic behavior exhibited by some of the members posting in that forum.
Specifically, the sexual content of SAMA was hurting our search-engine rankings, as well as getting the entire site locked out of many privately held Internet service providers.
Additionally, members would post photos and comments that they would later regret, which ultimately led to some losing jobs, getting divorced, and being humiliated. These individuals would often contact us and ask that we delete some or all of their posts, which placed an enormous burden on our staff.
In the end, SAMA, which is completely unrelated to our core business, cost us a lot more than its worth.
It simply had to go.
Please respect our decision, regarding SAMA, and our choice not to comment beyond this statement. [/quote]
More strictly enforced moderating would’ve, I think, solved your problems without chuckin’ the baby out with the bathwater.
Maybe I’m wrong.[/quote]
Well Tim said himself that the moderation itself was causing a huge burden on the website staff.

They have decided not to spell it out for you, so I will not do so as well out of respect for their decisions on how to run their company, but go back and read the posts again and this time keep in mind that your friends might not be telling you all that went on between them and people that they met on these forums and that the things they were doing was causing the company harm by creating excessive work for the staff and hurt the company’s image.
