Due to the recent influx of users coming here to advertise their own/others' markets, I wanted to lay out our policy on this. Talking about them is perfectly fine as we believe competition is healthy and even necessary for the stability of the community. It appears that many are using the fact that the Silk Road has a large userbase to spam our forums with these links. Our responsibility is to this community and as such we are charged with keeping it safe. We have seen too many scams take place over the recent months to risk any of our members falling victim to one they found while browsing the Silk Road. The moderators will be taking a firmer stance on this going forward and removing any URL found. If anyone sees one, please report the post and we will redact it.
