B5150, I really think you are way off here. Playing hear no evil isn't how this board (Especially YOU) really work. If you review that old thread, you would notice that this 15 year old kid is discussing steroids (A no no), and not only that, but offering sources via PM. If that is a serious offer or not is irrelevant, and should have warranted the ban stick. I have seen others booted for less.
But that is only my opinion, and I am not trying to speak for others.

Here's my view of the matter so please be patient with me and try to understand it from my perspective.
I see the thread original "xxxx you guru" and I don't waste AN OUNCE of my time in bothering to open it never mind read it.
If there is a board rule violation of undergae steroid discussion, source posting, or any other board rule violation...REPORT THE POST. That is your's and anyone elses obligation if you are a community minded member here at AM. It is not on the other hand ANYONES role to flame, attack, insult, abuse, offend or post anything of that sort and or otherwise about the matter. There is no reported post it does not get seen by the staff. There are few active moderators here and I am not going to baby sit every single thread and every single post that gets submitted here at AM. Just ain't happening.
I did on the other hand receive a reported post regarding abuse, flaming or some sort of nonsense like that. So I closed it down because the reported post and several to many post before and and after reflected such behavior. There were 25 pages of garbage posts by ALL of you. As I said I am not going to waste an ounce of my time reading this stuff to do detective work in a thread.
So here we are again in this thread and you guys are doing the very same thing. Where is the board rules violation reported post? Your discussing it here and now but yet no one is reporting it.
You don't like a thread and its content stay out of it. You find a board rule violation report it.
DA, I am not directing this at you but making a general statement to ALL of you.
help you guru 2 is closed. To the OP...don't start an other one please.
DA again not directed specifically at you or any one in particular person or meant personal in any way....please no PM's
