What is "unjust criticism", what constitutes "popular system", and who exactly decides that?

Why not trust in the ability of the forum members debate the issue at hand, and then decide for themselves what equals "unjust criticism"? It is my opinion that criticism is always valuable--if nothing else, it throws light on existing biases present in individuals involved in debate.
Naturally, you are well within your rights to fill the boards with threads discussing the symbolic and allegorical implications of the song "I'm a Little Teapot" if you so wish, and delete the rest. This is your forum, and you are free to do whatever you want it. And I'm not making some stand for freedom of speech. What I'm saying is that if your concern is with the intellectual growth of the ideas within the community and the personal development of its members, I would thing the repression of criticism, whether or not you believe it is unjust, would be contrary to this goal.

Fiction while I appreciate your help and doubt any of these Mystery Method advocates have as much experience with direct as myself we should just let this go; I'm sure they have some but not a refined and mastered degree of skill with it.

I personally don't think full grown adults need to be moderated in this manner and while I haven't broken any rules if Brad wishes to be a babysitter or cult leader and decide what is "appropriate content" on behalf of a fourm comprised by and large of adults it's his choice.

P.S - In consideration of what was said earlier my marketing angle I do agree with you in a sense however I don't think it's your place to criticize my marketing angle. I'd imagine registering the domain pick-up-artist-forum in conjunction with Google got you all the advertising you needed and was quite possibly the most intelligent yet simplistic marketing tactic I've ever seen however in such a case I doubt you even needed a marketing angle. Would I be incorrect in saying that registering that domain name simply opened a door for your forum and people walked right in?

I have the experience to tell you that what I say is far from assumed.

Yep, if it were only that simple. I estimate that over $15k has been spent in developing/promoting the forum.

With the upcoming launch of PUALife, perhaps there's space for your ideas (inner game development). Send me a review copy (brad@pick-up-artist-forum.com) and I'll talk to the mods.

Don't mistake my resistance to excessive moderation and the locking of threads for a support of your ideas. To be honest, I disagree with you take on the entire issue.
I agree that it is his legal prerogative to moderate this forum in any way he sees fit. Whether it is the right thing to do is a different matter.


Sidenote--is there a clear set of rules established here? I looked around for a little bit, and there doesn't seem to be a stickied set of rules established here. It was just a once over, so I could very well have missed it.

I'm out and not a moment too soon. I'm as tired this shit as I'm sure you all are. Think what you will.

Okay I read maybe 5 posts and I'm getting irritated.
First off, cn_12 you need to stop brining up this "fake alpha male vs true alpha male" bullshit up. These boards are getting flooded with topics on useless discussions that are NOT helping anyone improve their game. Just brining up heated topics that go absolutely nowhere.

I've seen a few of what you would call "fake" alpha males run canned material and get a lay that night. So what? the guy wanted a lay, he got it, and he's on his own path of creating a system that works for him to be a better PuA. This game isn't about everybody turning into natural alphas, its about creating the lifestyle that you always wanted. For you it may be being a natural alpha, for others it may be wanting to be the life of the party that peacocks and runs canned mat. Others may dig NLP and psuedopsychological techniqes.

I dont mind you critiquing MM, DeAngelo, NLP, ect. but bashing is bullshit. Nobody wants to hear you rant about how terrible any method but yours is, and that you have the fastest, most natural system of getting a lay or approaching. When other members of the community actually start seeing your magical approach powers and word gets around about what a mPUA you are, I'll believe. Until then, youre just a keyboard jockey.

Chris, I'm reading your ebook now. I'll post a quick review shortly.

I take your response as youre done flooding the boards with your marketing campaign?

It'd be nice for someone with your "experience" as a PuA to actually share, and contribute to the developement of skills for other PuA's instead of trying to convince us to buy an e-book.

So c_n12, you like this forum so much, you'd like to replicate it: PICK-UP-ARTIST-FORUM.ORG

As for the topic of this thread, i suspect 'fake alpha' is close to your heart!
