Is there somewhere on the home page where a nice little reminder about not asking for sources, not creating posts asking for sources,or something simpler.

When creating this, I noticed the red reminders for required fields. Perhaps a little remark, sourcing not allowed, near the title box?

Just a thought.

 
I like the intention of your idea, but in my experience, a lot of the people who jump in with "where can I get XYZ" would not read it if it was posted a line above where they are typing.

I wish we could enforce a one hour of reading before posting anything rule. I have learned never moderate a forum if you don't like to repeat yourself constantly.

How many times do we see "where is the contact information?". Even if someone just posted where to find it 2 posts above. I don't mind assisting a new member with sources if I see that they have made some efforts to understand what's going on.

I don't have anything against your idea @AngryBird but I don't think there's any way to stop the people who want instant gratification even if it was on a banner scrolling across the page, they are still going to ask.

 
I have no doubt you are likely correct, @2earls. I like the hour of reading thought, too. One thing for sure, I'm with you on helping out someone who is really trying, versus the instant gratification folks.

 
Spot on @AngryBird, you can spot the instants straight away, it's always disappointing to see, though sometimes they go on to be good members. I joined here and read for a good few days, tentatively ordered and then posted a review, though I wasn't afraid to ask a question if I couldn't find an answer. The search function is really underused too come to think about it. 

 
I think some have maybe found this forum after being members of that old snake pit Topix?.When that was on the go people often asked for (sources) on the open forums,which of course turned it into the scam and shill fest it was.Thank god for this forum as it really is a family who look out for one another.

Btw I was a member of (Crapix) before and the one good thing to come out of it was I learnt how to spot a scam at a hundred paces.I did have a couple of legit sources there but they were far and between and I never got scammed,unless you count bad copied meds once that turned your whole mouth blue (di@z) pure coloured chalk!

Peace 

Bliss.....

 
You're probably right, @blissopifree 2. Once upon a time, I, too, was a crapix with a T member. There is no doubt it was a good training ground for scam spotters. Some were so obvious it was unbelievable. I did get very lucky and discovered one legitimate person, a Canadian. Until then, I didn't know there was such a thing as vegan shoes. Learn something new every day.

 
I found atleast 3-5  "legit" sources and as you said @AngryBird it was great training in spotting scams,although some of the attempts were laughable!!.

I used to go on to have a laugh at some of the OBVIOUS scam and shill accounts,I couldn't believe some fell for them but most were just people talking to themselves with multiple accounts and saying what a great vendor thread it was!.Some were so lame it was Hysterical?.Mind you benzo Lee made a good few quid outa the site,I allways thought he'd get his but it never seemed to catch up with him?,the ultimate faceless scan I suppose..

Peace 

Bliss....

Ps mods sorry for straying from the thread but I couldn't help but reminisce about "crapix!"?...

  1. crimp @ crimp: do you live in a dangerous area maybe try moving to the country when you get back on your feet you seem to understant crypto beter then me so youll be on your feet in no time
  2. crimp @ crimp: glad youre good buddy
  3. CalFresh @ CalFresh: Thanks everyone. My family and I are safe ATM. @mellowella thank you, but they cleaned me out. the shelves are empty but I'm hoping to call in some favors to restock ASAP. @xenxra I will reach out to set up a secure comms channel for us. Thanks again all. Yesterday was tough, but the support I've received from those I can share is with has been a Godsend.
  4. tiquanunderwood @ tiquanunderwood: Mad love to you and your family @CalFresh
  5. xenxra @ xenxra: @CalFresh if you are able to DM me (in a secure manner) the transactions associated with your btc theft, i can look into that part for you at least. i;m still 99% certain if the fbi didn't discard my leads they could have gotten some of my coins back and considering you had your coins stolen within the us, you have a much better chance of recovery than me. unless they went through mixers i could probably trace them myself.
  6. O @ Outsider9173: @CalFresh Haven't been here long but I want to wish you a fast recovery
  7. crimp @ crimp: neck spine surgery 8 ribs broke and scalp split onen about 6 inches
  8. crimp @ crimp: need some help dude im so injured its not even funny dm me for details just need someone willing to help me fust for a week
  9. CnC5 @ CnC5: @CalFresh if theres anything i can do brother lmk!
  10. M @ Mokachin0: @CalFresh email me I may be able to assist
  11. mellowella @ mellowella: I will always remember what you did for me the very first time I donated. I have been waiting to pay that kindness forward.
  12. mellowella @ mellowella: @CalFresh are you and your family safe? You’ve helped me in a pinch and were more than generous, and I’m sure you’ve helped others. How can we help you? Does it help at all if we completely buy out what’s left? Maybe that gives time and funds to restock and rebuild? I don’t want to break any rules here, but please let us know if we can do anything. All on your time of course.
  13. CalFresh @ CalFresh: thanks guys. I'm pulling together what I have left and leaning on the kindness of folks who support me to restock my shelves so that I can keep the lights on. Having my savings drained and my security vanish in an instant is paralyzing and the repercussions will only be realized in the coming days and weeks. for now I'm just trying to stay focused on the immediate priorities for ensuring this doesn't. cause cataclysmic failure to the life I've built for my children and I.
  14. H @ hotdog45: @CalFresh hey man if I can do anything, anything at all to help you get back on your feet let me know. Truly my heart goes out to you. I sent you an email also
  15. G @ gfunkster: @CalFresh im really sorry to hear that. But remember karma is real my man. They just fd their karma for a long time.
  16. Telp @ Telp: @CalFresh Thats so fucked man. Im glad you’re safe! And wishing you the best. What a bunch of scumbags.
  17. 0 @ 0osten: @CalFresh wow man.....I'm glad you're safe. Keep us updated, prayers for you bro
  18. CalFresh @ CalFresh: everyone here is safe. I was here alone.
  19. CalFresh @ CalFresh: friends, about a few hours ago my home was invaded by two punk thugs with guns. They stole everything I had in my home: cash, electronics, and mags, and forced me to transfer $20K in Bitcoin. it is a huge loss and I'm still reeling trying to figure out what i.can do to recover. For now I'm just trying to secure what little I have left so they can't take anything else. I'm telling you guys cause theres not many others I can tell. please bare w/ me, it'll take a few days to get back up and running
  20. CnC5 @ CnC5: @xenxra awesome
