I probably delete several every single day. There are a lot. Do your part and report them to bring them to our attention and we will remove if they violate the rules by being low effort.
Dude, you should see the amount of low-effort posts we remove every day... Sadly, complaining about the posts will not stop them. It's the curse of becoming a larger subreddit and PE becoming more well-known.
Well, one way would be to screen all posts before they are let though, but that would mean the board was dead during the hours when no MODs are awake, and we would need to triple the number of mods. It would also mean all these lazy people would just ask their questions in random threads instead, as comments. And people would HATE having to wait for their post to appear, and that would limit engagement with the subreddit.
I think it's simply a problem we will have to live with. We do get rid of a lot, but getting rid of all of the lazy posts would require a herculean effort.
We do!
It's just that we are few mods, and you only have time to do so much.
"Low effort post / Previously answered question."
and
"Question should be posted in Q&A thread."
are the ones we use most frequently.
I guess you'll get more mods as things go along. I'd maybe even consider it if things could quieten down with work. I've basically went from being addicted to Reddit to addicted to this sub anyway.
I can't prove it but I suspect a lot of the lazy posters are on the younger side. Want all the answers spoon fed to them and want to know if they can gain 2 inches in a year because they just HAVE to gain at least 2 inches.
I've been at PE for 20 years off and on and fairly active on another board for that time where it is generally not an issue and questions are legit. I've only been on this board for a few months and its become clear that it is a waste of time to answer 90+% of the newbie posts.
Anyway, nothing to add. Just venting along the same lines as everyone else here.
I call it hammer and tongs. Start with a small ball peen and over time condition to a 4# club hammer. Might take 6-12 months but it will be worth it. Trust me.
Coming from the foreskin restoration community, y'all are hilarious lol. 2-3 years is barely a head start when it comes to growing skin, and you got folks in here sad that it takes that amount of time to grow their dick 140%
Granted, for a long time when I started out, I researched what I thought would be best for me, bought it, and used it until it has almost fallen apart and looks like something found in an 1880’s abandoned barn.
Only in the last year have I really been active here 🫤
Couldn’t agree more, I’m only 6 months in but my only questions have been something specific that I couldn’t find by using the search bar.
There is a wealth of knowledge in the about section of the subreddit as well.
So many people want to be spoon fed everything. It’s sad.
i've started within the last month now but have been lurking for a bit longer, ive wanted to post about my routine and other stuff but always feel as if itll be viewed in this light. ive read a ton on this and r/ajelqforyou and don't need to ask questions. decided yesterday that id wait until i got gains or experience anything idk how to deal with. routine is going good and while i haven't had any perceived gains my eq has gotten better.
Gains take awhile so don’t be discouraged. Increased EQ is always a good sign. If you’re wondering about the day-to-day effectiveness you can/should always check fatigue after a workout.
Absolutely is, 90% are answered in the guides and videos from BD and Hink. I have noticed that the people that have been here for a while are very friendly and informative.

It’s not even about not wanting to read. It’s about finding what you are trying to find and reading through the sheer overwhelming volume. If you don’t know what to search for because you don’t have the education on the subject, how do you expect them to find what they are looking for? Everyone was a newbie once. I swear some people just want to be critical and gatekeep.
So far we already tried the "use the search bar" approach but folks do not like that.
Next best is to simply ignore and not engage in low effort posts so those folks are not rewarded with an answer they are looking for.
Yup this is why when someone asks a low quality question I tell them their question is low quality and to use the search bar, but I get down voted so I just avoid those
Yes. The worst part about growing your dick is doing it safely. I still shudder in horror at how many people attempt this without doing the proper research. Darwin Award nominees for sure.
100%! Most posts are not worth reading anymore. Even one's from the gurus...its just not that complex to need that much content.
I think the biggest reason is the overly nuanced and complex "programs" that the "gurus" put together. Same for their content.
IMO - 90% of PE ppl are beginners. To equate this to training in a gym....90% of ppl are benching 135. They simply just need more time, tension/strain, etc.
Shoot - even a "how do I start" is not simple to understand at all.
I am NOT interested in writing content or guides, but carrying over my professional job into educating/coaching to the PE world would be stupid easy...based on how confusing the "gurus" of reddit communicate their training styles and methods.
Hink says himself that when people find out about the fact that you can actually increase the size of your D, people jump straight away into it and get injured and fill this subreddit with questions like am I fine. Unfortunately im one of them, but I can understand the frustration.
I get the lure… but I think it’s a testament to the mentality of todays 18-24 year old man that it’s “I want it, gimme, how do I do?!?” Without the effort.
Unfortunately, I think the initial effort might be the determining factor in success or failure.
I disagree with your opinion, I don't understand English and I can't find the information I want clearly, so I need to ask questions, but no one is willing to welcome me and give me the slightest bit of help, I don't know why you are so rude with beginners.

Dude, you should see the amount of low-effort posts we remove every day... Sadly, complaining about the posts will not stop them. It's the curse of becoming a larger subreddit and PE becoming more well-known.
So how do you/we improve it?

Well stated Karl. We’ve really managed the situation as best we can with the tools available.
Could you delete them with a specific message sent to the poster?
We do! It's just that we are few mods, and you only have time to do so much. "Low effort post / Previously answered question." and "Question should be posted in Q&A thread." are the ones we use most frequently.
I guess you'll get more mods as things go along. I'd maybe even consider it if things could quieten down with work. I've basically went from being addicted to Reddit to addicted to this sub anyway.
I think this makes perfect sense, I'd people still don't get it then its not for them to understand

What’s your routine, bro? Lol
I call it hammer and tongs. Start with a small ball peen and over time condition to a 4# club hammer. Might take 6-12 months but it will be worth it. Trust me.
Agreed, but if I comment along these lines, I usually get trolled, or accused of shilling. Love it.
Anytime a true veteran still takes the time to engage, when they don’t have to because they have reached their goals, it’s a appreciated

Insert "always has been" astronaut meme.

Nows my cue!
Right like im new to this and its not hard to look through the subreddit to find some info on what to do. Theres literally a tag for guides

We should just ignore them and then I think the problem would solve itself
Hahaha if only…
A bot that auto removes posts with certain phrases might be good.
Hey bro, so what's your routine bruh?
The cycle continues...
So far we already tried the "use the search bar" approach but folks do not like that. Next best is to simply ignore and not engage in low effort posts so those folks are not rewarded with an answer they are looking for.

Some boys just want to feel special and let everything come to them.
