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.

A mod explained the no price checks policy is because price check posts tend to quickly turn into source posts.

Correct.

And for those of you that have sen price checks, you also see them get locked as soon as we find them. This may have not been the case in the past, but over the last few months it has and it will continue to be.

Again, NO - price checks, NO - source posts, NO - Dude, where did you get your gear..etc.

Peace

gotcha. i was just curious since i've seen a few price checks here and there and i really didnt see any harm in them....but that was a few months ago

 

[little chris]

This isn't my site so I respect the rules. But honestly as long as a price check stays a price check I don't see the big deal. But its like you all said a price can quickly turn out to be a source request.

 

[Skepticore]

Thank you for the best answer I've heard

Your point that it forces newbies to educate themselves is well taken. I myself was eager enough to have jumped in a little sooner than I should have. It was just so frustrating in the beginning when I had no sources and I kept threads about "my source said this" and "my 400 vials of sus don't look level". But all the while I was learning more and more. In retrospect, I'm glad it took as long as it did to hook a solid source.

So, well enough then. I also understand a couple other points made, such as the board's getting flooded by what would essentially amount to spam.

Case closed bros...

Wow, this goes down as one of the dumbest posts ever.

It doesnt matter if it visably turns into a source post, becuase people see prices that are lower than what they pay and then that guy gets a PM saying, Dude where did you get your shit, etc. Make sense?

That kind of stuff happens all the time with those posts. It's a very smart move to discourage those price check threads.

 

[manny78]

Easy and obvious: to make feds' job a lot harder. Why make it easier ? Why draw so much attention ?

 

[HUCKLEBERRY FINNaplex]

Are we allowed to price check with mods through pm?? Is that allowed?

Absolutely,but be sure to use an encrypted account such as Elitemail,Hushmail,or Cyber-rights.

 

[granby140]

to keep the good bros out of jail and to keep sources supplying us.

 

[Canuck4]

This gotta be one of the dumbest threads.......

 

[manny78]

through secure mail.

 

[little chris]

True, I see your points about the price checks.

 

[thx9000]

Am I the only person who comes here for knowledge ONLY? Honestly, I have NEVER IM'd/PM'd/EMAILED for a "source" to any member of this board. Sure, I've asked for quasi-legal items (took me a week to figure out what PnP was), but that's it.

There is a difference between the discussion of illegal activities (along with many legal activities) on a forum and the running a business (or discussion forum) with a stated mission of intentionally facilitating illegal activities.

NO SOURCE POSTS

NO PRICE CHECKS

NO MATTER WHAT

 

[Tricepratus]

I dont see reasons to not post sources I was jocking. It is for security of members, maybe a little paranoia, but it is prefereably. I dont think that DEA members or others loss time searching on forums to uncover something, but I can be wrong.

It's not so much for this reason... but if someone asks for a price on something... he will no doubt, and frequently get PM/E-mailed by someone who can get a "better price" for them... and then, noobs get scammed.

As for posting sources... that is flat out stupid. I dont think DEA would be surfing the boards... FDA more likely... since steroids or other drugs fall into their jurisdiction.

Basically... it's a rule. Deal. Frackal's post should be a freaking banner....

C-ditty

Oh sure, like he said it first. Fine then, be that way Fucker...Heh Heh Heh

 

[eastarr69]

I haven't been around for a while lately....I think you could misconstrue the following that you see all day as being taken as a source post:

Here is MY cycle....

1000 of this, 50mg of that daily etc....

If you are stating you are doing it, that means you can get it, which means you can be contacted, which then can lead to you being a source...get the drift....

If we can see this all day, what is the dif on a price check.....

My .02 (not a price)
