Suggestion: Force Users Requesting a Pardon to Bench Their Bodyweight or Lose Weight

Title says it all really.

We’ve all seen the same types roll up to pardon requests — walls of text, excuses, and zero accountability. If you really want to prove you’ve changed, let’s see some real discipline.

Proposal:
Before being allowed to post a pardon, users must either:

1. Bench their own bodyweight (video proof required, with today’s date visible), or
   
   
2. Demonstrate measurable progress toward a healthy BMI (verified by staff or trusted members).
   

Why? Because physical discipline often reflects mental discipline. If someone can’t commit to improving their own body, how are they going to convince us they’ve improved their morals?

Optional incentives:

• Extra support from staff for users who actually hit the gym.
  
  
• “Fitness Achiever” minirank for those who submit verified lifts.
  
  
• Public shame tag (“Still Can’t Bench BW”) for those who fail twice.
  

Let’s clean up the pardon section — both morally and physically.

Thoughts?

Credit to @Jibby Jibby for inspiring this suggestion, and thanks to @Yoshiki for proposing the idea of a mental evaluation. A great addition; after all, mental strength fuels physical strength. Strong mind, strong body.

 

100% support this, nothing screams rehabilitation like forcing people to hit the gym before they can say sorry.

Also force them to drink a protein shake daily.

 

I love it. By the 7th rep they'll feel "sorry".
