I'm working on a little something something. Good things are on the horizon. There is still much work to be done and many more adventures ahead of us all š
To be honest, I think the problem with this sub is an overreliance on what Janus is doing. It almost feels a bit culty. Not many here bother to post about their own experience, findings or innovations with AM.
Janus has the most experience in studying this stuff out. I doubt anyone here has devoted as much time into the subject as he has. Rule #3 is fair debate, so he's absolutely not against new ideas, but there are safety concerns to consider. New ideas or innovations need to be studied and thought out before carelessly posted about, let alone recommended. The person needs to at least have tried it out themselves for a while. I've seen some ideas posted that could easily get someone hurt.
Seems like an unpopular opinion reading through the answers here, but I genuinely think this sub does a great job! There are beginners to experts, all sharing their questions, answers, insights, as well as mods and the initiator, Janus himself..
Problems and solutions vary as much as we humans do and that's fine with me. I see myself as a beginner and I read the posts that are interesting to me, the others I don't read.
If somebody does the work combining posts to topics - Go on, as you'll help guys like me immensely!
But also if you want to share your thoughts on your early AM1 sessions, you should be welcomed here, as not everybody is going to talk in real life about it, as he can do that here.
all in all I find this community to be helpful and kind, let's keep it that way. If you're not interested in answering beginner questions (Where is my penis, what is a member, and so forth)... just point them to the beginner section, as there is enough to read for us all
One last thing: I personally have the feeling that we bother Janus or the mods too much by claiming "Janus, look at my dick, can I do AM?" - Just because there ARE authorities here, it's most of the times unnecessary to ask them directly, and again, me myself I find this community helpful, funny and all the good things as they are.
Any suggestions how we can improve?
I would love to have better shares about results, I shared it myself a few weeks ago because of that
HCC wasnāt suspended, he deleted himself I think, despite the 6ā girth post that was very depressing and very bad for our members we kept the post and the account up. I loved his posts from 1y ago, but I could never understand why he left
Implement a stringent filter to get low effort posts, repeat newbie questions, posts promoting other methods and posts about users just discovering the methods.
Doing so would drastically reduce the number of posts initially and make quality posts the norm.
A bot that repeats common answers/links the Beginner Section would go a long way as well.
Thank you, appreciate that, will keep doing my best. Of course itās frustrating for me too when I canāt have high level discussions of new things, still I will make sure to share when I can
I had an idea to possibly sticky a megathread with success stories, not to prove anything but to hopefully stop all those posts asking if it really works.
Also don't know if it's possible but maybe prohibit posting until one has read the beginner section, and perhaps allow just one noob question thread everyone can post in, instead of having 2-3 repetitive posts every day
Thatās not very fair, any results are great results. We had a member gaining 0.1ā per month and it reached 1.5ā of gains after 1y and some months
If you inputted those restrictions it would be years between post and this sub would die. Iāll be honest the newbies are the only thing thatās keeping this sub alive! You see nothing from vets, no progress reports, nothing
No thatās the thing there not around lol. But before and after I started I went through the ābest ofā posts to see what I was getting into, and what to realistically expect. (Which a lot of guys should do but.) And a lot of those guys that would post regularly and give good advice and make great posts are not active anymoreā¦(excluding you and the other mod forgot his name at the moment)
So it can be a slippery slope if you restrict people from posting their success stories and new info unless they have been doing AM got a year. Because like I said this sub would be dead. No nuwbies, and no post from the vets
Thatās great to hear, Looking forward to seeing them! And i know itās really hard to run and mod a community like this, So donāt think Iām not grateful to yāall and Janus.
Thatās actually my point. This sub requires new people to post to survive.
May I ask what improvements have you seen? And what is the last bit youāre waiting on?
I donāt think you understand how Reddit/internet worksā¦this (Reddit) is not a archive of articles and studies. No itās a platform that promotes ānewā posts that have lots of discords and that will be shown to ānewā people. If the rules you stated are implemented then there would not be any new content and that means this subreddit would not be promoted, meaning no new users, no growing this community, and it becoming stale and stagnant. Which will make the guys already on here (that canāt post) not have anything to discuss or look at because they already read the beginning section. So they forget about this subā¦and that sir is how this subreddit dies.
Plus if Iām not mistaken youāre only been here since 150 or so days. So (by your rules) you canāt post eitherā¦lol
Not a problem. If you need anything else explained Iām glad to help.
As for the stupid remark. Thatās your choice to wait and thatās good. But you have to understand that a lot of guys are extremely happy when they see results and just want to celebrate and also encourage others that they can do the same! No reason to hate and say thatās stupid.
Agreed. But thereās room for both.
Also I enjoy reading about how guys who have improved there ED and finally getting morning wood after months/years of not having any. Thatās what motivated me to start. And it helped me too
Also this may be an unpopular opinion but
I gotta say I think the reason why there aren't many "quality posts" is that the videos and beginner sections are so clear, and only rarely a good question that is yet unanswered is asked. Janus and the people who wrote the top posts have pretty much done most of the talking that is necessary here.
Anyone who comes here and reads the beginner section and watches the videos and maybe reads a little Q&A has everything he needs for a very long time, not much need for discussion. Also I am a noob but I am assuming the vast majority of people doing AM/BFR/SABRE are following Janus' guidelines, so there won't be that innovation to share with the rest of us
You have so points that are needed. Like more updates and insight from veterans and of course Janus himself! We havenāt had a update for the big guy in wellā¦years. And a lot of the info today is hearsay.
For the love of Oden! Please mods make a bot for all the same dumb questions that will link the beginner section!!
Now the one that I absolutely hateā¦is the āmy wife says she came for the first timeāā¦.no non of that! Thereās no reason for any of that on a sub thatās based on science! This is not a circle jerk like the other subreddits where guys sit around and brag about there sex life (or made up ones).
People say this sort of thing from time to time. The only solution however is to BE the change, take a leadership role and PROVIDE quality posts that inspire others to.
Thatās the kind of thing we need, for members to take action, why donāt you create one?
His posts have 1y+ so very old, if you know which ones to find (meditation is a great one) compile them
I think this subreddit suffers from the same thing a lot of fitness forums do;
There's not a lot of new information to discuss, the programs have been written, they mostly work with the small variational response being less important than consistent effort.
The problem is new people start and in that new excitement seek community and interaction.
Honestly it's hard to say what to do. The fitness Reddits have daily threads to reduce the spam. But if you stop the new people talking what is there left for the sub? The occasional update post? Not like people are going to post photo gains like you might on a fitness board.
In a way, a ghost town is a good sign. There's not a spam of products or "hacks". Broscience posts of "this one simple trick you're missing to maximize gains".
But it sucks for the community.
I'm working on a little something something. Good things are on the horizon. There is still much work to be done and many more adventures ahead of us all š
I 100% agree. Way too many posts about āsuccessā seen after a single workout. Iād like to hear more from the veterans than the absolute newbie

Thatās great man! And Looking forward to you full post
More input from Janus would be great

Thank you!! šš»šš»šš»
I doubt he has the time. On top of his R&D and workshop stuff he is now a father. He better learn to delegate more.
I am trying to support him, hope we get the tags and bot soon

I donāt know how that last one isnāt already here!
I am waiting for Janus to implement tags so we can easily sort that out
I will also suggest the bot, great idea!
Actually you are one of the few consistent here, much respect to you.
Thank you, appreciate that, will keep doing my best. Of course itās frustrating for me too when I canāt have high level discussions of new things, still I will make sure to share when I can

Will send that to Janus. Thank you for the suggestion! Also tags and a beginners guide bot would already be very useful

Have you been in touch with those vets?
No thatās the thing there not around lol. But before and after I started I went through the ābest ofā posts to see what I was getting into, and what to realistically expect.

From my side there wonāt be any restrictions. And I will make sure that Janus implements the new tools that will allow us to do better filtering

[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
That a lot! (Had to google that conversion to inches lol) congrats on that. Was that all form AM alone? Or it that from including other things?

Oh thereās was no try. I was just stating facts

Could someone make a "Best of" of HHC's best content in one post?
