I think to some extent you’re right about giving new people a chance. You came on here and have fitted in, not poked and prodded at people or come across as patronising etc.
Mersey, and this is just my opinion, has joined this forum and is overly familiar/comfortable. Almost like the bloke that goes the pub alone and tags onto you and your mates and starts dictating their views on the world.
you need to remember some of us have been on here years and it’s not just as forum pals either as we’ve met one another in real life or whatever.
Yes you could say it is cliquey, but I don’t see anyone giving you bother as you’ve just cracked on. Coming here and spouting stuff as gospel is always going to rile a few up.
If Mersey tones it back and let’s say isn’t Steve or tank or ketones then I am sure it will die a death. But if he continues provoking people and mouthing off about this 3 strike rule and you’re ignored it won’t improve.
ultimately we are all supposedly grown men, just behave like it and try and fit in and not antagonise one another. This forum used to be really good and there are still a few decent lads, just been inundated with trolls lately so people are naturally more sceptical.

In other words this Mersey guy is acting like a bellend

And he is the tank guy who got banned for being a total fookin gimp, anyone with eyes can see it’s him

I'll take this onboard mate but honestly I'm just being myself and trying to enjoy posting on a forum and I don't feel like I'm doing anything wrong. Some members get along with me, others don't. That's life. Outsiders aren't welcomed here and that's really the biggest problem on this forum. I can see what you want though. All newbs should stay in the background, not post much, and maybe in a few years you will accept me in your clique/club. That's all fine and dandy but it's not how I roll mate.
There's a few agendas on here right now with trolling and a few trolls launched a campaign against me that I got bored of real quick. They wouldn't stop though so I've started blocking a few as there wasn't any other choice. What would you do? Put up with it?

Sorry mate, but I'm not a kiss-ass and I don't do trolls. If that means you don't like me or accept me into your clique I will just have to deal with it and be an outcast from your club.
 
Ah that word, a tank favourite….. “agendas”. Strange coincidence that you both have the exact same posting style and ruffle everyone’s feathers the same way. Uncanny one might say.

He definitely isn’t tank. He goes to a gym about 10 minutes from my house

that tank was from Staffordshire or somewhere like that

As you already know mate, this is where I train. But it's surprising how fast rumours and lies can spread in the minds of people on forums who want to believe daft stories isn't it. I'm not wasting my time trying to convince anyone of anything anymore though. They can think whatever they like. If members bug me too much, I''ll block them and crack on.

I never ruffled anyones feathers so can’t comment. I didn’t post in open forum from the off, posted a training log and then engaged with those that engaged with me.

basically I wouldn’t go to someone’s house and tell them how they should live, I applied that same philosophy here when new.

We're all different people mate. You did what you wanted to on here by starting a log and that's fine.
I haven't come on here and tried telling anyone how they should live or what they should do though so I don't know why you've just said that to me. Is freedom of speech not acceptable and allowed here mate? Am I expected to stand in the corner and be quiet until a probationary period is over and I get the green light to chat and post?

Sorry if I seem over confident but don't take that personally. I'm not stepping on anyones toes here and I'm very respectful to most of the members. Just being myself that's all. I'm on cycle at the moment too and feeling great. I'm not forcing anyone to chat with me if they don't like my persona.

1. Too busy and can't be arsed.
2. It would bore me to death posting threads about my reps/sets/lifts everyday.
3. I'm 44 now mate. I made all my gains and hit my goals between the ages of 17 and 35.
4. I'm not a bodybuilder.

Why don't you start a log mate if that kind of stuff matters to you?

Thats fair enough pal, ive got a log on here when i was competing, since covid ive obviously got nothing to post atm, having a goal is motivational, im just trying atm to build back some sort of shape.

@mal
Waiting for an answer from the guy (you) who is using 2 labs that he won't even dare mention the names of on a forum and yet feels obliged to question me and tell me what to do to get integrated into a clique?
Erm, ok. Nice try. Good one !
