Abbreviations, DM’s, and using the Search function

This info is from 2 old posts. It’s important, and explains why names of mags need to be changed up, why sending sources through DM isn’t allowed, and how to use the search function. The answers to many questions can be found by searching.

Abbreviations

The reason we use codes like trams, tramps, tr@madol is so when someone does a search for the drug our forum won't pop up. This is especially important in the forums open to all. You never know who is reading here and it is best to be safe than sorry. At first it was difficult for me to figure out what the codes meant but that is one of many of the good reasons we advise new people to read as much as they can.

It is against the rules for anyone to send you a good source via PM (private message). It is a way to get scammed. You can find what you are looking for in practically any of the vendors so be sure to read at least 20-30 pages of each vendor you are interested in from the end going back to get an idea of recent feedback.

There is a ton of information on here. Just make sure you read up and you will find it. You can always use the "Search" Box to search for anything. It will search all of the Forum Postings and bring up any posts with the word(s) you are searching for. The Search Box is located on the Upper Right Top of the Screen.

@Gracie5 Thanks for stating this clearly and plainly. Way, way too many people do not realize just how/how many "web scr@pers" just operate worldwide, without any effective regulation or control. (Both "governmental" AND NON-governmental.) They operate off of keywords that they, themselves, have created. And our current attempts may not be as effective anymore, but still...

We can't prevent any or all scapers, but, sheesh folks, at least give it the "old college try," okay???

Yes, @CBL it’s an issue, especially in the free forums. Anyone can see those posts. The “Who has it? How much?” and “General Talk About Online Pharmacies” areas are accessible with a search, not only the vendor threads.

Can you help me figure out how to get established here, and lmk how things work?

We all start somewhere. Need to read, read and read again. Ton of info on here just got to put in the time.

Exactly @timyboy . Those of us who have been here for a long time know we had to read and donate to have access to the entire forum.
I would start at the top. Here’s how to donate:

You do.

We all can agree to this…the mods and especially @Gracie5 are badass! This is a community that cares for each other even if we only know each other through posts. This thread is a reminder to just look out for folks getting to casual and it was needed. At first all the reading is overwhelming and trying to figure out what’s what, but any new member should donate as fast as they can. Read as much as they can because it’s invaluable. So is learning what members are active and have been around for a little bit and know a few things not much but a few things. We are here to help each other into stay safe. Good looking out to everyone.

HI I donated right before we lost the site, now when I log in I can't see anything or message any of the admins to ask why. Sorry for the inconvenience, but why am I locked out? Please someone message me to explain. Thank You

Sponsorship is valid for one year only.

Yeah some of this nuances can be a bit of a learning curve for new members. I will admit I experienced some difficulties myself at first but now it's all good, at least so far so far good lol.

Excited to donate and keep learning!

We were all new once!

I would like to highlight this thread- I feel like lately there has been an influx in new members, and with that a noticable lack of this practice or any attempt to use it.

For phone posters, it's stupid easy to use vöwêls like this that bots don't recognize. Or just thr0w1ng in numbers if it's too much work to hold down the letter for a couple seconds. I personally like to use a combination of them with abbreviations and random hyphens thrown in. Phonetically spelling parts out is great too. 1f yew cãn ræd this, u can doo it yøurs3lf!

It's about safety, and more importantly keeping this forum a safe place to subscribe, and sell subscriptions. We're already being stupid- no need to be extra stupid

Such an important thread that is DETRIMENTAL to DBGs longevity as a forum, as well as OPSEC for us as individuals! The last thing that we need being an open forum is to pop up under simple search results. No, it isn't fun to decipher messages all of the time, and yes it can be overwhelming to some at first. But the payoff is our safety as a whole. Just be patient and soon enough it will come second nature to type and read messages in a safer way that keeps our forum a safer space.

Thank you for posting this Gracie, this thread is so important and I hope everyone gets a chance to view it. The importance all members adhere to these rules are so serious for us and our forum.
