I was fooled into thinking Alin was a selective scammer....

[hooker]

Unfortunately, I was one of the people fooled into thinking Alin was a slective cammer awhile ago, by some sources who work on the board I was a Mod on. The recent newspaper article clearly shows that I was wrong (lets say mislead) by people with their own ulterior motives.

Unfortunately, those people are still mods on that board, and the New admin is allowing them to continue sourcing there, hiding the fact that they are doing so, and taking advantage of members.

I just want to publicly apologize for being mislead by those sources who tried to damage Alin's credibility by bringing my name into it.

Takes a BIG-MAN to admit that brutha, thats cool as hell.:)

It sucks, yeah....I admit when I'm wrong....those two fooled me, and when I posted a thread about them being sources with vested interests in the mod forum, it was removed by an Smod. Basically, I tried to make good on being fooled, and was prevented from doing it....so an apology is all I can offer. Those mods and Smods still work on that board dealing and deceiving. It would be a great board without them.

[theshiz777]

a couple Vets posted a thread sayin how bad it sux to have lost you. Vette was sayin you could still post, but nobody was sure. loved your threads in the profiles catagories, hope you keep posting on this board!!!! They run that site like that over there, kinda sux cause they got a lot of good exp. people there. Im gettin sick of it to though.....some of the mods are to calky when asking info........then they suspend you when you speak out at them.

[hooker]

My posts are premoderated. If I try to present evidence of anything (Vette being a liar, etc...) it goes through him first, and he simply will not allow it to appear. It's a waste of my time to post when he can simply never let it appear or just delete conclusive evidence if he now chooses to not premoderate.

[bdog]

thats some messed up sh**.....

Hooker,
Thanks for all the time you put into the profiles on that board. I learned alot, and still do from those. They are the only reason i go to that board anymore. I go, read the profile and leave, too much drama there. Thanks again.

[Alin]

The accusations of being a selective scammer are complete nonsense. These remarks are typically started by "competiton" trying to destroy my business. Anyone who know me and has worked with me knows I will go beyond the call of duty to be sure my customers are 100% satisified. If there is ever a problem I will rectify the situation immediately. Customers are my business and my priority is to make EVERY customer I have happy. I have been in business 7+ YEARS and have MANY very satisfied customers and athletes I work with WORLDWIDE! Dont beleive all the negative hype you here from other boards. ALINSHOP is here to serve the customer with the highest quality products and BEST customer service available.

CHEERS

It's easy to be fooled, all it takes is some a-hole with some credibility to start talking smack. It does take some balls to admit to it though! Hey bdog I gotta ask is that a sunrise or a sunset on your avatar? It must be a sunrise, because i'm sure getting a rise out of it. Maybe i've had to much test today!

[hooker]

;) I posted this at 6pm yesterday on Steroid.com and it was never allowed to show up.

[Edit: it showed up, then was immediately taken down and I was never given the powers necessary to prove my case]

Quite simply put, there is an easy way to settle all of this. All that needs to happen is the feature where all editing that is hidden needs to be removed totally (i.e. when any staff member edits a thread, depending on their status, the fact that they edited it is hidden). Then I need to be given Smod/Admin access. This is for a several reasons. The first is so that I can get everyone in this thread’s e-mail address and send them my findings. This will make it futile to edit my post, proving all of my claims, as everyone in the thread will have all necessary information already. The second is so that I can get a view of Vette’s friends profiles and ALL of their posts, so I can prove they became active “coincidentally� just before he removed several vets for inactivity. The next thing I will do is to bring back all of my posts that were deleted by vette….they were deleted because they show his next mod choice “bigN� to know very little about steroids…hence, I will prove conclusively that Vette is simply favoring his friends and putting them on staff without merit and thus the first part of my PM from yesterday is true….(and remember, I can not edit something because it will show up as clearly as anyone else once that feature is enabled…and….we also need to enable that feature for the board owner also…just to keep things level). And clearly since my financial stability in reliant on Brian’s publishing my book, I wouldn’t do anything except what I am saying I will do in this post.

Moving right along-

Next, I will post a screen shot of the thread in the Smod Forum, which is titled “Lets review the AR no-sourcing policy’ “ at the end of that thread where I call out mods for sourcing (who are still on staff), Vette moves it to the Smod forum to hide the truth. I will simply post that thread, openly (move it to the lounge) where everyone can see why my idea of a “1-on-1 with the staff� sourcecheck forum (which would prevent staff from sourcing) has not been implemented. Clearly, as the last post in that thread will elucidate, Vette moves it in order to hide the truth- that he knows and allows staff to source.

Finally, giving me Smod access will allow me to view the Admin CP to see if anyone has accessed it after my posting this thread. Anything done re: editing or in the AdminCP will be accessible to me, and can be considered an admission of guilt. Again, editing threads or interfering in the AdminCP after the time of receiving this, could be considered an admission of guilt. In short, I can easily prove all of my claims regarding Vette’s favoritism towards friends and away from members, and in addition can prove he hides the fact that he allows staff to source. I can also…easily prove all other claims. I will simply then post a screenshot of the AdminCP having been accessed, as proof that things were altered, if anything happens in there past the time of this post.


I finished writing this at 6.06pm. It has been e-mailed to several people in that thread already, so not allowing it to appear will also be construed as an admission of guilt.

It can also quite simply be PMed from those members to everyone else in that thread if it doesn’t appear.

Unfortunately, Vette has placed the business interests of this board to where they are contrary with mine. So I must respond, and get this board in concert with my interests again…luckily, my interests lie in the truth, and seeing thinigs be done fairly: all I want is for the members to be treated fairly, no favoritism shown, and no illegal (and vested) interests to have a place on staff, regarding sourcing.

I would also ask that the Mods who source be immediately removed, and all staff breaking the rules (vets included….even Vette’s friends) be banned.

If the actions I request are taken, it will be impossible to not recognize the truth of my claims and the invalidity of those contrary, and it will be impossible to hide them. Also, the board is backed up nightly, so if I can’t find what I need to, I can simply call the server with Brian’s permission.

I want things to run fairly, and allowing Vette to have his friends come on, break the rules, have status and do whatever they want….while the members suffer and don’t get promoted-while his friends do for political reasons…is bullshit. Sorry…but that’s why I stepped down as a mod, and also REFUSED vet status. I’m here for the members…too bad Vette isn’t also. But

In short, allowing me this access will prove all of my claims easily. Not allowing it will clearly prove things are being hidden- again suggesting strongly that all of my claims are correct. Not allowing this post to surface is just silly, because it’s already been e-mailed to people in the thread.

Alternately, I can be called and this thread not posted..and an agreement can be reached which shows fairness to the members and (secondly and less importantly) protects my business interests. In that case I will ask the members I have e-mailed it to not to PM it to everyone…

Anyway, this ends my involvement with Steroid.com in all shapes and forms unless the current staff is removed totally. They tried to scam me into thinking that Alin was a Scammer, and then the Admin hid the facts from the members, while all the time putting his friends into Vet/Mod spots in order to have people to back him up. There is absolutely 0 good information on Steroid.com given out by anyone on staff currently...and every time I showed a staff member to be incorrect, it was edited by the Admin...consequently I feel that it is a waste of time for anyone to ever go there or support that site (unless you are going there to read my profiles of course :D or buy my book ;) )

[Gregalmighty]

Another reputable member to prove that there are shady f@ckerz out there trying to make a buck. Welcome to this side of the fence Hooker
:)

[hooker]

The worst part about it is that their Admin (Vette) and the rest of the staff calls Alin a Selective Scammer when they get source-checks about him!

(I just found this out)

I mean...can't they read the newspaper article that was posted on their own site?!?! It PROVES Alin is one of the best on the net!

[Gregalmighty]

I wanna post that article on every site i can find. Alin don't play! That comparison proves it! I read that piece more than once just to make sure i read it right. Alin IS the man and i want everyone to know it!

[hooker]

Yeah....it's shameful...just as bad is how they've treated their most recent sponsor (Synthetek)...to be honest, it embarrasses me that I actually brought Steroid.com a sponsor at all....although, I did try to make it up to Synthetek as best I could*. :D

(*Mentioning them in my book....which I hope brings them some buisness)

All of it is because of their admin and the choices he has made with the staff.

[rAJJIN]

Hooker is a good Honest Fella!! Good to see you here man.

A year or two Back I called a board Owner out After I caught
him reading thru My private messages......

I took this to the "mob" (what a Joke the Mob is)
and all the other Board Owners with the exception of a VERY FEW
seem to think its perfectly ok to read thru member and moderators PMs..

Hooker Is one of them very few he spoke up and told them it was bullshit.
Needless to say I was done with that board owner and the "mob"
from that day on... I try to avoid shady and sneaky people in this bussiness
and there everywhere you turn!!! Just be carefull aND STICK WITH THE GUYS YOU KNOW AND TRUST.

[hooker]

Yeah, man...that was me....funny how the board owners in the MOB all thought it was cool to read PMs...

For 2 years after that thread I refused to enable PMs on almost every board....

Even at BB4L, I caught the owner reading them...

Hooker, you know where you are welcome ;)

[Tyree33]

Hooker way to nut-up bro I think steroid.com has gotten 2 big for their own good, I thought all of the mods there thought their sh*t doesn't stink. And G-almighty, I second that idea.

Currently, one of the girls who is part of the LOI mods and a bunch of other boards actually comes to me for most of the information she needs....which to me says that she knows the knowledge where she hangs out is garbage.

Thats what I think of the mob and invite boards in general...

These are all reasons why I stay away from all the boards on the net. I'm only a member here (Because I really like Alin) And SE

[Beetlejuice]

You are safe here brutha! We are all here to help each other period! It all starts with Alin. Because Alin is for real and has integrity it draws like people. I hope you stay here. We can't get eneough honest people.

Hooker,

What a reidculous game of politics....
Seems like many boards have this administrative (mods, etc.) system where it's a "you scratch my back, I'll scratch yours" environment. Seems like that is why you got censored (or whatever happened) over there. I guess you have to be part of the clique, huh? Kiss a lot of ass, etc.? We all know it's rediculous bullshit. I can't believe the amount of politics that go on. Sounds like your a better man just being rid of them altogether don't you think? That pretty much sucks about Synthetek though but it wasn't intentional. Shit happens.

Pretty honorable thing for you to admit it. Regarding the boards, in a way, you personally sort of have to (or at least should IMO) exist outside the "chain of command" or whatever you want to call it. I suppose in a way, in your position, you have to be on the outside, so that your informative material can be presented without bias and your motives coming into question which I know you've been the victim of (even by me). Was there a time when you were a mod on this board and, at the same time, considered Alin as possibly a selective scammer? I would think a man in your position would have left a board if you felt those were the circumstances. I know I would. I'm nobody though. You have a name to protect.

What's funny is that you contributed many articles and profiles to that board more so than the people that are moderating you it would seem. Is that correct? If so, and you have copyright, you should pull those articles.

Later.

Scamming or selective scamming is for loosers...and gives a short life for your bussiness.

I first learned about Alin as a member of SE, then my years subscription ran out
and I did not want to spend the money again, however it was very good with lots to learn.

I have always found Alin to be great to deal with and I was one of the first to try out the new Stealth line a while back.

Hooker brought Synthetek to steroid.com as a sponsor, and steroid.com cahrged Synthetek $3,500 for one months advertising ($2,000 more than any other sponsor). For that, Synthetek was supposed to get banners and a mass mail out and support from the mods for one month.
Synthetek got the banners, but never got the mass mail out and the mods bashed it openly.
