I previously asked why the mod scout was allowed access to the vendor roundtable but was assured he was a vendor before mod, which is fine. I don't understand how the mod samesamebutdifferent is allowed access though, I know he is not and never was a vendor, just a random who was made mod recently. I know I am treating the vendor roundtable as a public viewing area, and many other vendors should or already do. This guy ssbd is just some random pc powertripper that begged his way into a modship, how do we know he is not a pig? Seems rather likely reading through his posts, he loves to exert authority.
Why was he chosen to be a mod anyway? I assumed he had been around a long time or something but I just had a look at his first post:
New to SR and am interested in hearing other peoples experiences of aussie vendors or international for that matter. Recently made my first order and it arrived promptly with good coms from the vendor, the product though was unfortunately rubbish. Contacted the vendor and exchanged a few very cordial messages and agreed on a possible rectification. A short while later I checked the feedback of the vendor to see if anyone else has posted an issue to see a glowing report of all aspects of the transaction or the same product and this has raised my suspicions as there is no way ANYONE could consider this product any good.
Has anyone else experienced this? I am wondering if vendors post spurious feedback to boost their ratings and discredit genuine disgruntled customers??
So this guy shows up, instantly annoys the mods to make him a mod too, and now has access to the vendor roundtable, only a few weeks after joining? I think a new vendor roundtable should be made, with tougher prerequisites as well, the current one fails in its aim to provide vendors a safe place to converse... about drugs and shit..
-
You still going on about this?
Did you know the vender forum is actually plastered on other tor forums? I bet not. It's even updated daily. Get over it.
-
Samesamebutdifferent is an invaluable snr member of the forums who goes out of his way, hours a day, to help individuals having issues with SR. Until you've contributed something similar you should shut up. It's April dude, that quote you pulled is from September of last year, hardly a few weeks. I trust DPR made him a mod for good reason, and you shouldn't be saying anything in the vendor discussions that can compromise security, so I'm not sure what your beef is. You can go back to talking "about drugs and shit" now.
-
The vendor round table needs to be kept moderated like the rest of the forums, and if you think it's immune to infiltration you're very naive friend.
Anyone can become a vendor and earn round table access, even without actually selling anything illicit.
SSBD has always contributed positively to the forums since the day he joined and I was one of a few that had recommended him to be a mod before it even happened.
I suggest you contribute to the road in a positive way instead of fear-mongering.

I didn't find out that there was a specific vendor forum until right now - how do I get access?

You can request access through profile > summary > modify profile > group membership
there are certain pre-requisites you need to meet before access is granted though.

Really? Might that be the reason I am calling for a new vendor forum with tougher prerequisites? lol
The stupid is strong in this one.

haha he is not a senior member bud, he only heard of SR in sep 2012, and it may be April but he was not made a mod in April
Also I provide more to this community than that censorship loving narc. Drugs > Drug forums

Buddy I'm calling for a new roundtable with tougher requirements to gain access. Did you even read my post?

Ummm no, they can't.
People who are feeling butthurt because I speak the truth about ssbd, go make a 'defend my bf's honour' thread, this thread is for vendors to discuss the current roundtable, and maybe talk about creating a new one.
You guys should be concerned with how quickly and easily ssbd became a mod. If he is not a pig (and I'm not saying he isn't), then surely the fact that he was so easily able to access modship and therefore, the vendor forums, would mean that the pigs will definitely be starting up multiple ass kissing accounts in the hopes of becoming a mod. When that happens (may already have happened), then choosing mods will become troublesome, and errors costly. Come on people think on a higher level.
-
Who gives a fuck if the mods are possibly cops. There job is to keep some order in the forums and answer questions...I think it would be funny actually, a cop doing all this work hoping to gain some "insider" knowledge. They don't get any more info than you and me already.
You should be treating everyone here like they are a cop anyways.
( I know that is not your main point)

Smh, you are too cute. You just don't get it...

Ah, homophobia, that's what I call thinking at a higher level ::)
-
While you're up there thinking on a higher level friend, you might want to consider removing round table access for every single account that currently has it, because it would be impossible for a LEO to pose as a vendor and work their way in, and on the same note, it would be impossible for a vendor to hand over their credentials under duress by a LEO... Shahd1? MiN? all those we don't know about that have been busted?
-
You seem to have a lot of Bees in your bonnet today Roky.
-
I'd like to vouch for SSBD's credibility as a mod. He spends hours every day making this forum a better place and is extremely helpful in his responses to people who message him.

Here's another one for your growing collection, you seem to want it....

Really? haha why am I surprised this place has gone downhill in a hurry. This fanboy defence of their beloved PC brigadier samesamebuttdeliverance is embarrassing, should have closed off SR rego last year before it got mainstream exposure, too many 'mainstream' people in here lately, SR forums or facebook? I can't tell

I'm with the original poster and you as well Rocky! I'm noticing a lot of lax running of SR and a lot of fuckery going on with no answers being provided or responsibility being taken! Im not even a member of the vendor roundtable because I don't trust it, at least not as yet, and this post is slowing that process down! Something about putting all vendors together don't sit quite well with me! I thought we were spose to be revolutionaries, at least thats what the fuckin SR material says! Since when do revolutionaries rebuke each other for raising questions, especially question on security? SR staff needs to step the fuck up! As well as everyone who uses SR! Complacency is a killer!
-
For what it's worth, I can verify that Scout was indeed a vendor for awhile. I can't say anything more than that, but my point is that the whole thing about him being a vendor first isn't a lie.
So now both SSBD and Scout have been vouched for. I don't really see the issue here. If you're worried about LE in general, well, you should be. Always assume they're listening to every word. Nothing is completely secure.
-
Off topic, but are ssbd and scout both guys? I get the vibe from them that they are girls.
Makes sense anyway. I read about bars in England that were employing female bouncers because they are better are diffusing situations without resorting to violence.
-
Scout might be a girl, as in Scout from To Kill A Mockingbird.

We give off girly vibes? Shit!

That is a good idea. Nobody is going to hit a girl, and if they do, every other guy in the place will make sure the problem is taken care of.

scout, ain't nothing wrong that. :)
CrazyBart, the idea viz a viz mods is that girls are less likely to go on power trips and abuse their authority.

I think he clearly answered that question! Either that or "he" is a she! :-*

Hey man, astor's cool. We don't pick on astor around here -- you want to security audit everything remotely related to SR without him? I sure wouldn't :P

Ya, i think we learned that lesson with Lim.
-
I'm sorry Astor, I'm sure you get all the giirrlllss :) Frankly, I don't even understand what "security audit everything remotely related to SR" would entail, so no, I wouldn't.
-

It's funny, because Lim popped in my head as I wrote that.
It's ok Aussie. I probably would get all the girls if I didn't like boys.

Dont attack him for asking questions, its good we have users who are skeptical
and like to point things out that may be odd. I wouldnt call it being a rat because we report it to other members not
LE but SSBD, based on the post you showed us, seems completely normal. Also many other users vouch for him
so i have faith. But keep being skeptical and keep your eyes peeled for real LEO's on here!

suck a bag of dicks

Should he suck the whole bag or each individual dick?

I consider the roundtable to be watched more than the regular forum........ Never expose anything anywhere anytime for ANY REASON!!!! It's like snitching on yourself.

I think people dont realise how massive SR is and therefor how many vendors there actually are.
Every vendor is in theory entitled to have access to the roundtable so to think that such a forum can be kept "secure" or private is a little naive imho.

^^^This
Anyone with any common sense would consider all info posted on these forums is getting read by LE. The very concept of the vendor roundtable being "compromised" by having my mod it is also laughable but everyone is entitled to an opinion. How many members does this place have now? 59,000+? how many vendors have vendor status for their forum accounts? I must get 50+ requests a week from people asking for this, either way the point I'm making is there are plenty of eyes in there already. If you feel the current arrangements are putting anyone at risk I'd invite those people to take a good look at what they are posting, as blueveil said its like snitching on yourself if you are feeling compromised.
And to be quite honest what gets posted in there would be of minimal interest to most people anyway, no offense intended vendors but you know what I'm talking about, its hardly an LE dream database of incriminating evidence. In saying that though I do take vendor privacy very seriously and fully appreciate the need for you guys to have safe space to discuss your business.
Not sure what your beef is with me Roky and too be honest I don't really care as my time on here is spent dealing with far more important matters than whatever little agenda it is you have going on. I'd prefer it if you didn't make up bullshit allegations or try and cast dispersions by spreading FUD but I'm not going to get drawn into another ugly flame war with you. I wasn't even going to dignify this thread with a response but after reading some of the kind words of other forum members I thought I should at least acknowledge those individuals and say thanks.
Back to modding...

+1 for SSBD since we've been having a rough week here.
-
+1 to Scout and SSBD. I don't think people realize how much actual work modding around here must be. I doubt most of you would be able to do it if you even had the opportunity. Who needs the constant headache? Having to keep your eye on everything at once to make sure nobodys personal information is being shared, nothing that harms SR or the community is being posted, the scammers are kept at bay, etc etc. It's much easier to sit back, get high, and let someone else handle all of this shit.

the fuck is with all this +1 shit? this aint twitter cunts
to the halfwits telling me the roundtable is already public anyway.. thanks Einsteins I'm asking for a new one where new users cant waltz on in and annoy us vendors with his whinging
to the fucksticks 'vouching' for ssbd, stfu you twits, you cant vouch for someone you dont know, fkn morons...
ssbd there is plenty off good info on there you knowall, read the first few pages and you have a very good idea about general security procedures, cashing out methods, reviews of companies used... for you to say the police would have no interest just shows you are a dumbshit or a pig, just fuck up and delete spam spamboy
-
+/- is karma. You see that -81 next to your name? That's 81 times people have disliked what you've said.
You're a pretty angry person bro.. what's going on? You realize a new round table will not achieve what you think it will, right? So.. why are you still speaking?

I don't understand why a person would spend some much time complaining about the possibility of the Vendor roundtable compromised and still continue to operate on the site...if you feel your security is at such a risk then feel free to take your talents, or lack of, to one of the other, countless black market onion sites where your every need can be met.

boo fucking hoo
you bitch a lot

This thread is from early April. I am locking as it is no longer relevant, and full of FUD.
