Stop Negative Comments Please!

This comment it meant for when a girl posts her pics on here such as April and Kristi and then some douche-bag
feels the need to throw in some negative comment. 

This is an awesome site and we are all damn lucky to get girls like April and Kristi who not only post their incredible bodies on here but they are part of the community.  Unless you want to see them leave please keep all the negative comments to yourself. Seriously, how would you like it if you woke up every morning and worked your butt off to stay fit only for somebody to tear you down.  It's just not cool ... 

People come in all shapes and sizes and if someone is skinny but really defined respect that.  If someone is huge and ripped respect that too.  Whether or not they take steroids or are all natural it's not easy developing the level of fitness that most of all these girls have. 

Let's congratulate them on a job well done and encourage them to stick with it and of course to keep posting.

Thanks all the members that give positive comments and to all that post. :)

Jon-as one of the 6 moderators of the site  I thankyou for  a very good  & thoughtout thread,unfortunately there is something in the community called free speech where is a person can say what they want  to who they want -as a result of this the site may have lost  April aka BiFlexer to this  great idea created by the mind of man and to Mr Mouse thanks  but  policing comments made by the minority of haters we have on the site is NOT a Moderators job

just out of curiosity, what is the moderators job?

i'm not aware of the situation that has apparently caused biflexer to leave (if she has at all). however, i think she along with kristi add a lot more to this site than a countless amount of rude posters who often times contribute no pics at all. this is not an issue about freedom of speech, it's about courtesy and ultimately what is best for the website. i love this site, and i'm confident in the moderators who have been doing well maintaining it, but i disagree on this issue and i hope that biflexer is not gone for good.

I don't think it's the staff's job to stop/delete all negative comments. Rather, I try to stop many insulting or obscene comments. There's a distinction between the two.

It's pretty much a law of the internet that even if something is generally well-liked, there will still be some negative comments. The way one deals with this is by just paying more attention to the 95% of the comments that are positive, not by censorship.

I've given up commenting, or even reading comments.

On one hand, you can't say the slightest negative thing without the girl in question and her legion of drooling, horny admirers pouncing on you for some perceived breach of etiquette. 

On the other hand, you have people go out of their way to turn every thread into a negative comparison to someone -- I've seen a bazillion comments on April on pictures that weren't even about her.  I don't blame her leaving.

I agree with the mods things shouldn't be censored, but I've concluded many of the people on this site are around 14 years of age, or at least have a mentality near that level.

Well since this got  brought to my attention I thought I would put in my 2 cents, since I haven't gone anywhere!  I have to respect Chainer and his mods, as they are utilizing their "company" rules and sticking with them.  Very professional.  If you take words typed in a comment box too seriously and it makes u leave then your just as immature as the one who wrote them.  I don't think April is gone, if she does, that isn't the reason.  I think most just come here to admire the "scenary", we don't want politics and negative comments.  But if someone wants to air out something about someone or a picture then it's their right to do it.  It does not bother me, as I just move on to the next one.  I may lose my cool every now and then, but isn't that life.  I think most want to enjoy their time here, and the fact that I get to communitcate with some of you is fun for me and it seems to be fun for you guys too.  I do wish we could just leave it at that, but life isn't perfect.  So again we come to the same as above.  It's how you handle yourself when dealing with those negative comments that tell just what kind of person we are.  I say read'em, comment back if you wish but move on after that.  I do enjoy this site and I'm not going anywhere.  Ya'll have been great to me and I love the admiration as much as you do I think, so hugs to you and try to be positive!!!  Life is short.  Laters!!! - Kristi

Kristi I could not agree more with you. There is so much negativity in the world that this is a small haven to come get away from it all. Unfortunately some people bring their baggage with them, they shouldnt but they do. As Kristi says we need to rise above that immature attitude and get on with the business of enjoying GWM. And i would like to add that Chainer and all the mods here to a superb job of keeping up a brilliant site. Congrats to  all of you. Long may it continue!!!!
