TIP! Something VERY important I learned as a NEWBIE!

[PTFC]

Couldn't agree more @2earls!  I haven't said it in a while, but we have a fantastic community here, if you follow the rules and the good advice posted in this thread and indeed throughout the forum your chances of being scammed are very low,  however I'm seeing more and more pleas for sources via PM, this really has to stop, that's a scam waiting to happen. Be safe folks.

this is great advice! you can never be too prudent and reading more is way more important than reading less. felt like a kid in a candy shop when i first joined and went a little crazy with ordering at first but dialed it way back. learned a LOT along the way and i am still learning. you will figure out quick who are the people that are hard to satisfy and the ones that actually give great reviews. complacency on my part is an issue i have ran into recently like forgetting to read recent reviews and provide them myself! and i paid for it. but another issue is making sure everyone follows the rules so we all stay safe! I cringe every time I see the exact type of payment method being used or when actual products are named without the least bit of concern for using more ambiguous and non-descriptive words. Less is definitely more when it comes to sharing your journey. Keeping everyone here safe should be tantamount. Reading and continuously reading is just the start.
