I have more problems with non-contributing morons, like YAGR and his "mononisation" members, who feel the need to attack/stalk other members.

As I understand it the organization is one guy LOL.

I find unrelated spam in good thread that has good information very distructive. In my opinion it's almost as bad as telling lies.

There are specific boards where trolling is not allowed....The Positive Board, The Training Board, the nutrition board....and on. If OTH or anyone else wants a troll free thread I suggest posting on one of those boards and not the G&O. :)

It was brought to my attention this morning, as I sipped on my cappuccino that some of you felt it was a little unfair to not allow "everyone" to bother or troll ukjeff as he spoke about his particular dietary methods.

That said, I will post a simple exchange I had with another member, keeping his identity undisclosed. You (the GetBig family) can decide whether the topic discussed makes sense, after all, we moderators are here to serve you as a whole.

********

You need to calm down. You can't just take every little thing you read to heart and then go on an avalanche of emotions.

There was a thread made about Jeff whereby many people complained regarding his trolling. Some people suggested, very aggressively might I add, that he should be banned.

Here's the thread, I'm sure you remember it, as you participated in it:
http://www.getbig.com/boards/index.php?topic=491655.0

Main Issue: Jeff trolls incessantly and because of which derails threads in the process, hence why he should be banned.

Problem with the issue brought up: Trolling is not against forum rules.

That said, it was made pretty clear yesterday (by me), that if a person like no one, Galeniko or OneTimeHard creates a thread chronicling their diet or contest prep, that it would remain centered around the subject at hand, as to not lose the point of the thread to begin with. In order for the thread to remain centered around the subject at hand, trolling material from Jeff, Yagr, the organization or whomever decides to act like an idiot will be removed. Why would we remove it? Simple, because YOU guys (not us mods on the G&O) want it done that way, as evidenced by:

So, in light of what the greater masses want, we have determined (Grant, Princess and I) that things need to be fair and balanced. If Jeff is no longer allowed to destroy quality threads (Threads about serious aspects of bodybuilding) with his incessant trolling, then likewise, you guys aren't able to destroy his threads that are also serious in nature.

In other words, you guys can't expect us to heavily moderate Jeff when he trolls you guys to death and then not expect us to moderate you guys when you troll him to death. One thing Jeff is not, is dumb. He knows how to develop a very coherent argument and can debate the vast majority here ad nauseum. So, in order to defeat a seasoned troll, you need to apply the rules in a consistent fashion that doesn't allow for a loophole to be found in our justification of rule employment.

Does this mean that no trolling is allowed on the forum? Absolutely not. Part of a huge cornerstone of GetBig's greatness circles around the popular trolling seen on this forum. We enjoy trolling here, because it's funny, leads to great relationships being formed and adds an element of chaos that is often very entertaining.

So, if there are random threads revolving around gossip, rumors or just different variety that doesn't qualify as high-quality material, then the trolling is just fine. That said, NOT every thread here can revolve around the personal feuds between Jeff and everyone else. This isn't the UkJeff show and by allowing yourselves to get sucked into his trolling methods, you are ALL proving that he has gotten the better of you.

So, to bring this debate to a close, realize that in order for the pendulum to swing evenly, we moderators have to be fair in protecting Jeff's rights, just as we protect your rights.

Does this sound fair enough to everyone?

Reading this makes it seem like jeff is the victim here, nevertheless I respect OMR and his judgement is always fair and I back him up on everything he says  ;)

that being said if he is more positive i will stop giving him shit

imo he is still playing the game just in a more subtle way

and yes it is obvious from the posting style that the quote from omr is me

Just to set the story straight: Dropping Plates has launched bizarre attacks like the one above, accusing guys of being pedophiles with no cause. He evidently did it to an Organization member and now demands he not be treated has he treats others. In other words, he can dish it out, but he can't take it. He becomes noticeably defensive when his pedophelia issues are pointed out.

Asif, why don't you post under your average rim rat name?
Quote whatever you like, pathetic stalker.
For the record, saying "bizarre attacks" is pretty gay (yes understatement)

You old cynic you.

im from the uk i undertsand your mindset

do you stand by your words below and if you do

do you accept that you lost sight of the entertaining part and just became annoying  :)

One more time for OTH as he doesnt seem to grasp it.
I KNOW I ENJOY AND ARGUMENT, ITS WHY IM HERE, I HAVE EXPLAINED THAT OVER AND OVER AGAIN AND SAID THAT I JUST TROLL, BUT I TROLL IN A WAY THAT ENTERTAINS OTHERS WHO READ THE FORUM.

In real life I am nothing like I am on here, this is all an act, its not the real me at all.
Oh and me and OMR are fine, we have an understanding.

As soon as you realise this forum section isnt meant to be taken seriously maybe you can join in the fun.

As for any "alliances" they dont exist for me on here, I work alone and that my dear OTH is why you and a few others dont like me, you want me in your little "click".

Of course I stand by those words, I was trolling, I wasn't interested in doing anything else.
I was just playing a part.
Im now being me, posting my thoughts and ideas through my real personality.

I dont know what you want from me?
