Silk Road Forums

Barack Obama. I am not ignoring your messages, I have responded to each of them and there is nothing new in my inbox. Attempting to only give half the story is not going to help your case, especially pasting private messages out here in the open. I have been as fair as I can regarding the situation, but ultimately a protocol is in place to prevent people getting free accounts despite only just joining Silk Road since the free accounts are for established vendors who have proven they are not scammers. Again, the bond is also refundable so in the long term, if you can prove you are legitimate, this shouldn't be a concern.

Topic locked. Mail me if you have further queries.

The email requirement has now been removed.

Some of you have now been granted vendor privileges. For those that haven't, re-post and ensure you have a PGP signed message and link back to somewhere on the old forum where your account posted that same public PGP key to prove ownership of the account & PGP key.

Message one of the staff with a PGP signed message of the public key which is on the profile and they will reset the password. Make sure you date the message and state the account name you're posting from so we can be certain who the account belongs to.

We are still figuring out how to remove the email requirement, unfortunately the forum software has deeply embedded it into the code and if we remove it, it breaks a whole series of features so we are thinking of a way to handle it.

I have reinstated and added several more vendors above. If I have not added you at this point, it is because you have not given me any information to work from. Please include somewhere from the original forums where I can verify your PGP key such as the link to the original PGP key post from the vendor account.

I will clarify point 1 again, I probably should not have rushed that answer.

1. Your private messages are not being watched by LE, but you should be using PGP anyway.
