All members must read, understand and agree with the rules of this board prior to posting. If you are unsure, please ask a moderator before posting. Ignoring these rules may result in a ban or deletion of your account.



THE BOARD RULES

1. This section is for 21+ members only

Underage Users All members of the Steroid section must be 21+ years old to post. Any underage users found posting will result in a lock and possible deletion of thread along with a possible ban, depending on the severity of the post. Underage users may feel free to read all you want but do not post or ask questions. This is an attempt to protect the members and integrity of the board.



2. Source posting is not allowed

Source posting is the practice of referring users to a steroid source or supplier by name or via email address in any way. This rule is to protect good and reliable sources from getting busted, as well as to protect member from breaking the law by openly discussing how to purchase steroids. This includes naming UGLs (underground labs) as well. This will not be tolerated and will result in an instant ban.

1. Discussing sources and their practices. If you have dealt with a source and are discussing his ways of conducting business or shipping your post will be deleted, and you will be disciplined (banned). If you receive a temporary ban, and violate this rule another time you will be permanently banned, and your IP address will be blocked from the forum.

2. Source advertising. If you are a source, you may not openly advertise on these boards. You also may not PM (private message) members advertising your services. Doing so is illegal. Sources who violate this rule will be banned, and their IP address may be publically posted for the authorities to investigate.

3. Human or Vet grade name brands may be discussed, as they are legal with a prescription only.

4. Do not post pictures of your gear without editing out the lab name. This is just as bad as posting the name itself. This includes all UGLs..

Do not discuss where to buy research chemicals or related. This includes web sites selling all research chemicals, mixing solutions or related?etc, this is to ensure safety to the board and its owners, as well as the members. No hinting at names or using initials or acrononyms for any AAS sources or labs or related


3. Do not openly ask for sources

Via PM, Email or Thread
This is for the protection of both members and sources. But mostly the members. If you openly post asking for a source you put yourself at risk for every scammer lurking these boards to email you. You stand to lose a lot of money this way, even your freedom if you are set up by a federal officer. Along with the first rule this is a point that will be heavily enforced. Posts will be deleted, account will be banned. No warnings given. After such a post you become a threat to this board.



4. Rules for "Off Topic" threads/posts

An Off Topic thread or post, is one that is posted in the steroid forum, but has little to do with the discussion of steroids (or related) issues. Our forum is a community, and thus there is a desire to share certain things with the community you "hang out" with. Therefore, members who regularly post on the steroid board, and ONLY regular members may post off topic threads, but within these guidelines :

1. The title of the post needs to start off with "O/T:"

2. The remainder of the title needs to be an accurate and detailed description of the content, so that members who don't give a **** know whether or not to skip the post.

No exceptions will be made, the rule will be enforced. the first time you are given a warning and your post will be deleted or moved to an appropriate forum, the second time around your account will be banned.



5. Giving out dangerous and/or ignorant advice

For some reason, there are members that come here from time to time and dispense very poor advice on how to use steroids. Sometimes they recommend dangerously high doses. Other times they suggest using compounds together that simply should not be used together (ex: running deca and tren only for 12 weeks). It is always dangerous and ignorant to give out AAS advice to minors.

It will be up to the moderators to decide what advice fits into the "dangerous/ignorant" advice category. Bans can (and will) be issued depending on how severe the mods feel this dangerous/ignorant advice is.




6. Flaming and cussing

Excessive flaming, cussing, or insulting will be dealt with harshly. The goal of this forum is to help users educate themselves. Remember that we were all new to this at one time. If you cannot help someone who obviously needs to educate themselves, dont post. Ignore their thread and move on.

If someone disagrees with you, this is not a reason to start name calling. Debate them intelligently, or leave the thread




7. READ THE FAQ !!!

Read the Frequently Asked Questions (http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=111070131) before you post. We should not need to explain this. The FAQ is a list of regularly asked questions we are tired of answering again and again. Do us all a favor and read it before you post a common question and make a fool of yourself.




7. Please be patient with the moderator staff at bodybuilding.com

We have a very broad and extremely knowledgeable crew of moderators, all of whom are either veterans or experts in the field. All of the mods put a lot of work into making this board the best it can be. We try our hardest to keep it that way.

Sometimes we may seem strict, punitive or irrational, when dealing with newbies and stupid questions. However, we are trying to keep standard of this board the highest on the internet. Since our forums have such high traffic, we must sometimes be harsh to try and maintain these high standards.



8. If you do not like steroids, DON'T DO THEM. But DO NOT come in here to start trouble.

This forum is for research and learning about the proper/safe use of steroids.
If you do not agree with this you don't need to be here.
If you come here JUST to start trouble, you will be banned!
Don't like it, STAY OUT!!!

9. This is NOT a forum for the discussion of recreational drugs.

If you are into recreational drugs (coke, ecstacy, etc..), that is your personal choice. However, most of us here are pursuing a lifestyle where we are trying to better ourselves... not destroy ourselves. Keep all discussion of recreational drugs off our forum. You will get banned here if you bring them up. This is not the place to discuss them. Recreational drugs have no place in the bodybuilding lifestyle. There will be some leeway for serious, informative questions regarding AAS usage and rec. drugs such as marijuana, but the line is very thin and shall not be taken advantage of. Keep the questions limited regarding rec. drugs.



10. There is no advertising allowed on the forum, and posting links to outside vendors is not allowed.

This board is run and sponsored by Bodybuilding.com, but we want the truth about the products, good or bad, to be posted here so you can make a smart decision.

You are welcome to post links to the cyberstore within the site, but we do not allow discussion of other supplement store sites for obvious reasons. If you attempt to post about other stores, you may notice they are blocked out with asterisks (***). Although you are welcome to discuss any manufacturer?s products, you may not publicly display other places to purchase these products.

Other unrelated advertising is not allowed, but you may PM a mod if you wish to post a link to your website in the misc forum. We do not allow links to online auctions or to advertise to other members if you are trying to sell your supplements. We also do not want links to steroid vendors, liquid research companies or sites that sell kits.



11. Do not ask what the pros used.

This has been covered countless times and the simple answer is that no one knows. Some people might claim to know, but in reality professional bodybuilders use countless drugs and have rarely admitted to their cycles. Please do not ask these questions. Threads on this topic will be closed or deleted.


11. Do you think you have been scammed? .

Checklist:

1. My package never arrived!

Are you giving them reasonable time to ship to you if international? Did you contact the source? If not, this is the first step. Sometimes things actually do happen in shipping. All reliable domestic sources send things via "delivery confirmation" if they are able.

Do NOT "call out a source" to *anyone* as a scammer without trying to contact them first. Give them reasonable time to get back to you, also. Just because you emailed them at 9am and haven?t heard from them by noon, is not a reason to claim they are not replying.

Still no reply and you have been patient? Contact a moderator via PM or via SECURE EMAIL, explaining who the source was, when the order was placed and any other details you can think of.

Do NOT post publicly on any forums that you have been scammed. Do not start rumors amongst your forum friends about the source being a "scammer."'

2. My gear is fake/bunk!

Did you contact your source about the problem? Did you compare your gear to the many images of real and fake gear that we have in our archives? Are you sure you know how to use it correctly? Do you know how to eat right when on AAS?

In extreme cases, gear may need to be tested by a lab to see if it is real.

DO NOT accuse a source of being a "scammer" unless you have definitive evidence that your gear is fake and can prove this to the MOD staff.

99% of the time when people claim the gear was fake because they did not grow, the real reason is because they do not know how to train and/or eat!

GENERAL RULES

DO:
contact moderators
keep track of ordering and shipping dates
compare gear to images of those posted online
be patient
research how to use AAS
research how to TRAIN on AAS
research how to eat on AAS


DO NOT:
post openly on the forums you have been scammed
expect your gear to arrive overnight or unreasonably quickly after you order
assume gear is fake if you did not grow
think that AAS is "magic" and you will grow if you dont train and eat right.
gossip about sources to your friends (you never know on the NET who your friends really are).




12. Do not discuss shipping/delivery methods from sources.

This includes how it is packaged, how it was sent?etc. We do not need to publicly display methods of shipment to keep both the members and sources safe. Threads will be deleted immediately and members banned, depending on severity of the post.


13. Do not ask for prices.

Do not ask how much steroid cost. If they are illegal in the country in which you live, you are lucky to pay whatever you attain them for, granted they are legit. Everyone pays different amount depending, leave all information regarding how much you paid or how much it may cost OUT of this forum.




14. Do not troll or spam .

This means do not post multiple threads on the same subject. If your thread is deleted, do not re-post it. There was a reason it was deleted in the first place. You will only be warned once before being banned if this happens more than once. In addition, do not post spam pictures in threads. That is for the Misc. members, and in no way does it help the AAS sections? members.
