EVERYONE READ - NEW BOARD RULES

This is being implemented immediately. All the sources have been notified. All related old posts have been edited or deleted.

Please check the laws of your country before you order any sponsor products. The onus is on the buyer, and the sponsor or ProfessionalMuscle.com will not be responsible in any way if you break the laws of where you live.

The sponsors are legitimate legal companies in their own countries and they do not break any laws where they operate. That is why they can advertise here.

Lately we have given too much leway to everyone that is posting (sponsor and member). As such, being implemented immediately, this will apply:

THIS IS THE NEW BOARD RULE:
You cannot discuss openly a sponsors products or ask a sponsor about shipping methods or if they can get you certain products on the open board.
if you need to know what a sponsor carries or how they ship, go to their website or email them.

If you break the rule, just like if you would break any of the other board rules, you will receive an infraction/warning. On your third infraction/warning you will be banned permanently.

ProfessionalMuscle.com DOES NOT condone illegal activity, so if you wish to break the laws in your country, then it is your responsability.

I think this is a real good idea. Go Back a bit more to the way things use to be!! Anymore It seems everything has been talked about WAY to openly.
A Lot of questions such as products,pricing,shipp etc etc Should NEVER be talked about on an open forum IMHO That stuff should be handled in emails.

I think its a great rule and long overdue.

Great new rule, Big A.

This is my favorite board for a number of reasons, not the least of which is that the sponsors are all good people. AND they add valuable information- Alin, Malic, etc all help me and others out with "generic" answers. I would hate for them to have any problems because of stupid questions ("how do you ship to...").

Sometimes I cringed when I read a post about sponsor issues. After all these years, I implicitly trust anyone that Big A trusts to be a sponsor. Ennuff said.

Yea i agree. i thought there was a little too much talk about the sponsors on here and who got what how fast and how it was sent and etc....Yes they are here to help us and get us great products if we would need it, but this is a bodybuilding board and should be sticking with that topic, not talking about who buys what where and everything else it entails. Questions should be behind closed doors and not be making those faggots(cops, agents, etc..) jobs(ha) any easier ...with nothing better to do because they cant stop any of the real drug lords or crimes or maybe they are just afraid to stop the drug lords cuz they are pussies and dont got the balls to do their jobs... so they come after people tryin to better themselves.... right.

how do i always end up wishing to see a cop (DEA agent) die lol

Smart!

I am glad you established this new rule. I don't condone illegal activity either.

This one is absolutely a must! better protection for all of us

Good job BigA on the new rule. It is better for everyone.

everyone needs to stay safe this is a great idea, and should be hevily inforced.

FINALLY!

It's about time, I have taken notice to this the last few weeks. Everyone very open in their topics and alot of them have not even been here awhile or giving any thought to what they post. Big-A great move and way to get things back to what they used to be...

I agree with this 100%. Way too much open discussion about sponsors and such. Good Rule.

Completely agree. I've always thought to myself that if everyone is so open about everything it will go away fast. Glad I'm not the only one.

So simple its easy

This is one of those things that's always been known by most of us around here

But to sum it up for those of you who were a little slow, the only word that comes to mind is


DDDUUUUUUUHHHHHH!

Agreed!! Good one Big A!

Yeah...things have gotten a bit out of hand with some of the questions, etc...

Originally, the lack of "open talk" was one of the several outstanding qualities that attracted me to PM. Glad things are coming full circle...

BUMP!!!

sweeeeeet looks like A LOT of NEWBIES will be banned

Big A

How does this relate to actually getting feedback from other users on sources? I am assuming ppl can still post and ask about source A's level of service, turnaround etc? As not allowing to do this, kind of sheilds the sources from reputation (good or bad) and if bad, im sure many would want to be aware of whats going on, rather then hear it from a Mod; possibly summised.

I 100% agree that we are our own enemies here! But alot of boards are going private with sources and glad this place has followed suit!

I agree and I am guilty I have asked a few shiping questions and that is my fault. I understand and than you BIG A. Sorry PM bros

We still Have the best guys in the bussiness and so Far Ive not heard one source have a problem with it....Its needed all the way around for everyones good. Everyones still here...Same good service and products....Just that you need to handle your "bussiness"off the open board and in emails...Which it should always be done that way anyhow.
