Why not post sources?

[Skepticore]

All right, just thought I'd start off with a subject sure to draw fire on my ass! But please hear me out. I'm a newbie and just want to see what the logic is on this one.

Why are sources not posted?

If it is to protect the source from prosecution: could not one of our wonderful 3LTR boys (DEA, FBI, NSA, CIA, UPS, ha) pretend to be one of us and eventually weasel his way into the system? If not, that is assuming that they are less smart than anyone else using the boards (never underestimate your oppenents). However, surely the sources already have enough confidence in their own abilities to be in business in the first place, so why would we need to hide them?

If it is to protect the post-er: that assumes someone is watching the board who would bust you if you mention a source. This then questions the entire safety of the discussion board community as a whole. Think of it this way. Thinking like the enemy, if I were a 3LTR man and I knew I could bust anyone who actually posted a source, then that means I have the ability to track down the post-er in the first place. Since I can do that, and since I'm not really tied down by any REAL laws such as the legal process, I could just watch the boards long enough to get a feel for who really had stuff, then locate the individual and execute a search. If the 3LTR man can't find our locations, then it's reasonable to assume we're safe enough to actually posts sources.

If it is to protect our source from being overwhelmed with business: I totally understand that. No one wants less attention from their source.

This is too long already, so I'll stop here. I'm not trying to be an ass - in fact, I can't tell you all how much this board has meant to me, to be able to know I'm not insane in this quest.

You should not really need an explanation for this one. I am not trying to be a dick and I understand what you are saying.

It has nothing, I repeat, nothing to do with protecting a source. It has to do with protecting our members, and fellow iron bro's and bro'etts.

Lets try and end this thread fast, and lets be clear on a few things (this is not direct at you Skepticore )

NO source posting
NO price checks
NO NO NO NO

Peace

I would think the reasons would be obvious.

 

[DepressiveJuice]

whats wrong with price checks? i've seen them here and there on this board

 

[Zoomster]

Your kidding right?

 

[Zyglamail]

Now I have officially seen it all.

 

[DeepZenPill]

All the different reasons have been repeated over and over again. But it's mostly for the protection of the board and its members. Not to mention all those guys who come on here wanting to juice without putting in the work or research. Source posting just lets them jump into a cycle without bothering to at least educate themselves.

If souce posting was aloud it would only a matter of time before the board was shut down.

 

[little chris]

I've seen price checks left and right.

 

[HULKSTER]

I've seen price checks left and right.

And every time I speak out against price checks, I, as well as others, get slammed for it. This is not fuckin' TRIEDIA or Network54.com. If nobody likes it, then get the fuck off. Why should sources and their customers face possible jail-time because young, eager, wannabe juicers who've probably never done a cycle in their life don't want to wait around a bit and educate themselves first.
