Title: Full members handing out negative karma for shits and giggles
Post by: stryder71 on May 01, 2013, 11:24 am
I used to think the karma idea on this site was a good idea but now I've received -5 karma because I wrote a post about staying loyal to silk road I think it's ridiculous. I got one person give me -karma because she "had to read that long winded piece of shit" and personally I don't think that's a good enough reason to hand out -karma. Clearly others read her comment and followed suit for a laugh.
This does not reflect my posting attitude at all, especially as my post was talking about checking out the other black market sites while SR has been down and how dedicated I feel to SR. It's quite disappointing when you pledge your allegiance to the website and as a result get -karma.
It's a bit of a bitch really.
So yeah, I hope people don't really pay attention to the karma cuz I don't want people not taking me seriously or thinking \i'm a troll or something just because someone didn't want to do a bit of reading...it wasn't even that long anyway so I don;t know what her problem was.

I'm just saying look out for these stuck up, arrogant full members who think they can do whatever they like because they've earned the right to...
They should be stuck back in the newbie section!

That's kinda my point. I know this is getting me loads of negative. I just want to see how pathetic people are on here, genuinely thought we were living in a world of adults but the people that just want to click negative simply because they think it's hilarious that someone is wound up by it, they clearly need to get back on their meds.
But it seems I probably deserve it anyway because even though I feel a lot of validity in what I say and I try not to be offensive, I always get someone who is willing to have a go at me or tell me I'm doing something wrong.
People on this forum can be pretty much up their own asshole.
Just trying to use this forum for its intended purposes but it seems some of the children on here just can't handle it

Well people give out -karma because they don't agree with what you're saying, fin you annoying, don't like your avatar, think you don't say revelant stuff, etc. The most common reasons for negging though is when someone is advocating bad security measures or spamming and trolling, or saying something offensive..
I also find it annoying to be negged when you didn't say anything offensive or something like that... Obviously when you make a thread like "Why are africans legally retarded?" you can expect a lot of flak :P (this thread actually exists).
Here's a +1 to make you feel better ;) not all full members are dicks.

haha cheers guys. I know you're not all dicks and it's good to see some good sense of humour here.
I'm not letting it get to me, had to voice it when I didn't understand the mentality behind it and once they started pouring in the negs I thought fack it, I'll just keep it up

On another note, has the road gone down again? I got an hour

it seems to be a bit wonky, probably because everyone is trying to login.  the americans are awake now.

My first -ve karma was from a post I made in a scammer thread, someone went down the thread giving everyone bad karma.  I was a bit surprised until someone explained that that's not unusual.  Since then they've just accrued and there's not much that can be done.  Just think of it as a way to keep you well balanced (or something ;) )

Regarding negative karma... Who gives a fuck? Internet points don't really affect me, I use the forums to post once or twice here and there and to see if any vendors are up to anything new or if there is any drama, like what happened with coachella420.

Negative karma really isn't a big deal on here mintsmoothie. I thought it was at first, then I just mentioned it out of curiosity and merely mentioning it got me more negatives, then I decided to test the water. Now I couldn't give a fuck, it's just funny

"Why are africans legally retarded?" does not show when i search the forums...
Yeah... I just noticed it got deleted. Too bad, this thread was so offensive and ignorant that it was funny. The OP of that thread apparently got busted so maybe he decided to delete all his posts or something, I don't know.

Post by: pine on May 01, 2013, 02:57 pm
I wouldn't worry about it.

I've received about minus 10 or 15 karma points in the last two days alone, and I always suddenly get a big jump in negative karma whenever I appear and start posting useful information. This pine can only attribute to LE or their hysterical supporters who imagine themselves very clever people. Keyword here is *imagine*.

Some of my negative karma is indeed because some people don't like me. But that is ok. I have also noticed platypuses traditionally appear to be bizarre and are frequently just misunderstood, as befits creatures that are clearly from another world that have (organic) quantum computers for noses. When you get to know them, they are amicable and wonderful companions!

At least half of it comes from the fact I post information that seriously damages law enforcement practices and better yet, their conception of the world. I am quite sure LE supporters or LE agents experience psychological trauma and start kvetching madly about SR when they understood how easy it is for us to run rings about them. They have so much egg on their face right now they look like bacon omelettes.

So be proud of your negative karma! Sometimes it means the opposite of what you think. Bacon omelettes! Mmmmmmm, now pine is hungry.

You will notice that in general people seem more than ready to dish out the negative points but stingey on the positive points.  I wouldn't let it get to you too much.  Also I take some of my negative points as a badge of honor because I know many of them have come from calling someone out on their bullshit.

And Stryder I just gave you a +1 to mess with your plan (and for unfairly calling out your karma stats out in another thread).

Edit: nevermind you'll have to wait 72 hours apparently I've been giving out too much karma lately.

there are people here that love trolling, making people feel bad (especially new members) that way they feel so much better and smarter ...reason...they are here 100 posts (a couple of months) longer than the newbie who dare to post something.
Posts huh....nothing else, not contributing to anything ....they wrote messages venting their wisdom and trolling new people.
They knew all ( really everything) from the start and never asked for a tip or something they did not understand.
They were born experienced ....we have to have respect for those old, very wise senior members who never...never !!! make mistakes. ???
For sure they will not help you because then they are spoonfeeding new members and guess what....as said many times they rather use their energy for putting people down.

Only this post will give me - karma....like I care  ;D

I honestly could care less about karma, especially in the position i'm currently in  ;D. I guess some people got it worse but whatever.

I recommend writing a racist manifesto concerning the dispositions of negros, crackers, chinks, and such. Don't stress the neg reppers, they just think they're exerting some sort power over you. However, in reality they just handed you your shit-printing license and I reckon it's about time you hit the press.

I make all my decisions on SR based on someones Karma, if their neg is really high then I dont deal with them, this Karma means everything, its very important you keep your negs low, any one with high low negs or low high negs or medium low low high negs then its an automatic block, if you press F2 twice you will see that.......

of course I'm being smartastic !

It's good to click with the reasonable people.

I think I've only ever clicked "discourage" once the whole time I've been here, if I find the posts disheartening, abusive, or just down-right retarded, I counter it or ignore it. Don't feed the trolls.

I give little credit to people who disregard things like grammar, spelling, coherent arguments, half-decent content or just having positive attitudes. But I won't "discourage" them. It makes me feel bad :(

I've made a lot of posts on this forum that are quite long-winded, but I try to keep every piece of information interesting and sometimes controversial, to keep attention on the topic full-winded, rather than just idle conversation with no direction. Even though a lot of my posts have been "angry" or "controversial", I like to think I've put a lot of smiles on peoples faces and gotten a few good yucks, hence the positive karma balance.

But, I fucking love this place for it's very VERY welcoming atmosphere, friendly people, and most importantly, rules and protocols of the board that insist on being FRIENDLY and EMPATHETIC to every person, regardless of their obvious misunderstood approaches or incoherent blatherings. I like to know that I can say something stupid, but then apologise without fear of judgement or ridicule.

I love this forum, you guys are really fucking nice. Just for that, +1 for everyone on this page.

I'm not even on drugs. Weird, right?

I like to look at Karma as your K\D ratio in COD. Even the best players die sometimes, but generally most good players keep positive K/D ratios.

And some players are simply n00bs getting pwned all day.

Do they stop? No. Does it change how they play? Occasionally. Do n00bs get pwned all day? Absolutely.  8)

Agree with you there, who gives a fuck about Karma. I use these forums for information, and sometimes out of boredom! Post count and karma does not interest me in the slightest. All that matters is advice and opinion. Some people must just be on here all day everyday wanking over there 3000 + posts! It doesnt matter.

There is no way to tell which of your posts in the entirety of your posting time is the one that somebody read and decided to give you -karma.
IN the case of this particular post, you can infer it's causing a lot of neg because of the explosive growth of neg karma after this posting.
You are right, I want to neg you just for blasting full members - but I won't because for some reason I feel sorry for you.

8 of of 10 peoples butt hurts on SR forums.  I have really come to realize the amount of completes half witted mouth breathers on here is quite high as well. 

Its to bad there is no way to verify your age on here.  That would weed out allot of the "undesirables".   It reallly is just a negitive place so dont be surprised when you get negged.  Lets face it amajority of the pople come here for the hard stuff and with that comes allot of piece of shit mentality, liars, scammer and all arounf scum of the earth.

now I do come here for coke and lsd,  but Im a hard working business owner.  I just like to party.

He is going to hide the forums.   Now, nobody will bother coming here as its too hard to locate.   

The main site is staying as is and using a rotating exploit fix (image uploading for vendors is one of he ways in)

Lol I didn't blast full members, I said "I'm just saying look out for these stuck up, arrogant full members who think they can do whatever they like because they've earned the right to..." - meaning these particular ones who hand out the neg karma for fack all. I've since come to learn it means shit anyway so I don't care anymore, I did at first cuz for some reason I thought it meant something here but clearly I have since learned it's nothing.
But yeah I NEVER group individuals together e.g. black, disabled, gay, full members etc. But in each of those groups you do get complete dicks

But you do now, right? I do occasionally, just not every day.

First time posting in the +karma thread :)

It happens to everyone, me included. Same people. Always same people. Never did get why people negged you in December Jesse and now you've come back, still do it. It's weird. I don't read all the posts around here, though. Tough on newbies as it really puts a bad taste in their mouth when they go through every Newbie thread page clicking [discourage] on every member. By the time they get to Junior member they typically have +0/-2. It;s not fair on them to put up with that as a default setting.

Still can't believe ProudCannabian has come back to the forums (Lol, so has joywind.... ::) ). I remember you slinging it to erm joywind (we all were) in January I think, and talking about sex parties or something ::)

Also, I just want to say (as I feel that was directed at me as well as other high karma members here), no I do not regularly post on the +KARMA thread, I all but abandoned it until recently. My +Karma has come from my posts, and what I presume from the fact that unlike a lot of members here I choose to F1 people rather than sling shit and troll. Also, I try to correct the disinformation that I find here to F1 build a more resilient, savvy forum base. The biggest threat to this forum has never been the police, it has been police masquerading as forum members, and us ourselves with our stupid, juvenile, in-fighting. I have merely chosen to be a tad more productive with my time here. Have a look at some of the members with a high neg/low applaud ration and you will find many of them are trolls. Masterblaster, phoboss, the list goes on.

As to my negs, well, I'll thank Masterblaster who does everybody on +KARMA thread, Newbie section, and other places, as well as the dicks who go around negging the good ones around here. Yeah, the Karma .SYS is vital to have if it is used correctly, but there are many people who are just dicks.

But to clear it up, not everyone with high Karma gets it from the +KARMA thread. I posted today and I posted about 3 days ago, and I received 2 + on each occasion as many do not give it out even they they post there. Apart from that, I can't even remember the last time and the time before that, I abandoned it a while ago for reasons that are irrelevant. I am no Karma slut.

And all this time I thought you had such bad karma because you're selling fake coupons made by couponguy that are widely available on the clearnet, have been posted on 4chan many times, are documented by the coupon information corperation, are in the database at many stores as counterfeit and can get you arrested more easily than private coupons.  Oh silly me.  It's just the same group of people giving you negative karma.  I should have known.

It's not just you guys. After I started the How to stop the DOS attack thread, which got over 3000 views, so I must have drawn some attention to myself, I got something like -12 karma within the span of a day or two, while basically only posting in that thread. I was like what the hell, I guess some people don't want the DOS attack to stop.

True that - someone has a problem with scout, that's for sure. And it is certainly for nothing as scout is really, really helpful and spends a HUGE amount of time here helping people.

Karma points were best described by another user as "anonymous internet points" - nothing to get too bothered about, but nice to see when they increase as a measure of how somebody appreciates something you have written. :)

I get down voted by feminists and liberals. Fucking feminists.  Fucking Liberals.
Just ignore the points they don't effect you at all unless you're a vendor and even then I think it only effects access to the private vendor forum.
I'm not about not stop calling out liberals and feminists for trying to restrict other peoples rights because of some negative Karma and you shouldn't worry about someone giving your neg karma either.  I think getting to much neg karma might restrict your ability to give out Karma?   I don't know if it does or even how to give out Karma.

wat im saying mate is that there is a reaeson Libertas is not being neged. and it isn't  becoz they have "'not been noticed". Libertas has earned their karma

To be honest I think it's mainly because I've only been a moderator for 5 days so haven't yet had the opportunity to get on the wrong side of people simply because they don't like what I'm saying. :P

scout and samesamebutdifferent have done - and still do - an incredible job of keeping this place ticking over properly and the forum would literally fall apart without them; especially without scout - he spends 18 hours a day helping people here and many people don't realise just how important having a moderator online actually is.

If there were no moderator online for significant periods of time then all of the forums will fill with that "bitswing/mt.gix/btkoin" spam and discussion would be next to impossible. More importantly, if there were no moderators online and anyone's information was released on the forum, it would stay there.

i am clearly living rent free in someones head. and i love it. means i really got to them... yes...... i got into their head on an anonymous drug forum / IRC (where im sure my troll began to obsess over me... )   10 shill accounts to log in and out of to give me -10 every 72 hours... now thats dedication.. i cant even begin to wonder how someone can justify wasting that amount of time... lulz

the rest of us bros and bro'ettes are out getting our mack on, enjoying life..... while the trolls are making numerous shill accounts, wasting all that time posting useless crap to get to 100 posts, writing in captchas, all for the purpose of giving negative karma or shit stirring..

karma does not mean anything unless you can see who gave it to you. and since they can stay anonymous, they will continue to dish out negs in order to boost their self esteem because they were bullied at school and have no friends...sitting in their room, while mommy tells them to get out of the house more hahaha.
or worse off, they are an adult, living alone, and spend that amount of time on the computer because they are to scared to go out and talk to people in person..

i think deep down, all they want is some attention and maybe a cuddle. we should start cuddle a troll day ;D

You realise this is a drug forum and not everyone here has gone to uni. There is a shill who posted page or two back on this thread who is one of the ones going around negging people. No, I won't name her. She has had a problem with the Karma system since December and is trying to fuck it up by negging everyone. She is not my problem but I do not agree with what she is doing. As for YOUR negs scout, while not all have come from a single source ( ::) think about it for a second) and some of the people who have given you negs have had legitimate issues with you, yes, I am aware that someone has been giving you some every three days since about -5. I am not going to investigate it. There are others on single accounts who neg every 3 days certain people on a never ending cycle. And yes, of course I know who they are. And no, of course I am ot revealing them. It is not my problem. (I myself am targeted every 3 days by multiple accounts and so are others. Only on Silk Road forums....)

As for Libertas... well... I hate for someone to discredit them (inadvertently or not, I don't know). Lib has received a shit load of +Karma because they deserve it. Pure and simple. Okay? And consequently, no negs yet from people who go around targeting people every 3 days as they never got a chance to finish schooling so they would learn how to deal with their problems rather than let it boil up. I pity these people. I feel like giving them a sandwich or hug or grenade or something. I tend to +K a lot of people in newbies as they are targeted the worst. But... the people who ae negging the newbies are not the same ones as the ones negging selected people every 72 hours. (And don't ask me to list them.)

Anyway. This is one of those threads which you look at think, nope, not going to contribute. But in the end you do anyway. It's a car-wreck, you just can't stay away.

I'm very new to SR and the forums. When I got my first neg, I was like wtf? Then I realized that not everyone has the same sarcastic sense of humor that I have. Then I realized that this is a 100% anonymous forum and it doesn't matter. Scout has helped me more than anyone else on SR, and I'm sure I'm not alone here.

What I think speaks volumes about the integrity of this forum is the fact that the mods DO HAVE NEG karma. I'm not saying it's deserved, but I'm sure there's a way for them to either change their karma stats (or have it changed thru an admin). This is in line with everything I've seen so far on SR. Posts that are critical of SR are not edited or deleted from what I've seen.

Keep up the good work guys because in the end, the dedicated users of the forum KNOW who is helpful and who are TROLLS.

Admins can edit karma.  Max karma is around 30,000 on SMF.  Default setting allows mods to give karma without any wait period. :)

The scammer/spammer(s) that came on the forum last year were just the beginning. It's starting to be overrun with trolls and assholes now.

I couldn't agree more; I miss the good old days, but at the same time I'm absolutely stoked that so many people are finding their way here and getting the chance to experience the freedom that this community represents. Maybe they'll take that back with them into the offline world and it will encourage them to call others to arms in the fight against government tyranny.

I wouldn't worry about it.

I've received about minus 10 or 15 karma points in the last two days alone, and I always suddenly get a big jump in negative karma whenever I appear and start posting useful information. This pine can only attribute to LE or their hysterical supporters who imagine themselves very clever people. Keyword here is *imagine*.

Some of my negative karma is indeed because some people don't like me.

Case in point. When pine stopped posting before her hiatus, she had 1700 posts and -60 karma. I know because I used to check the forum stats all the time and it burned in my brain. Since she came back, she made 300 posts and got -30 karma.

This is the same pine that spurred this thread: http://dkn255hz262ypmii.onion/index.php?topic=96301.0

And about half a dozen others when she left. It's a much different attitude around her.

Also, while looking for that thread, I found a bunch of other ones from the winter. It made me kind of nostalgic.

So if you want to get positive karma, agree with everyone.

I find it quite odd that some people operate a number of shills, I know most of us have done it at one time or another to troll someone or whatever but to actively operate several accounts as full members posting across the forums just seems a bit weird to me. I know multiple accounts are used to manipulate feedback in certain threads, those are normally quite easy to spot, the 3 post wonders chiming in with the glowing review after the previous 2 pages have been from very unhappy people.

It is also interesting to hear that some people claim to know who is up to what, negging etc because I'd be amazed to hear how they got that info when not even the admins or DPR can see who gives who karma, SMF does not support that feature. That would make those claims either total BS or perhaps their powers of perception are infinitely greater than mine, my tin foil suit protects me from the hidden agendas on here though so luckily I am safe.

the main reason you get negative karma: for daring to say "i disagree". No more how respectful you are about it, you'll get negative karma if you disagree with people on anything.

So if you want to get positive karma, agree with everyone.

It really doesn't matter you could be the nicest person on the Road never even engaging in a discussion about what you agree or disagree on and some asshole is still going to find a reason to give you negative karma as you can see with me. I wonder if they have a plugin for these forums that allows you to see who gives you + / - on your user profile somewhere? That would sure be useful.

set up a second account. use it to counter negative karma with positive karma for your main account.

I don't know if such a plugin exists, but it's possible. When you click thank/discourage on a post, the forum software knows which link you clicked. It lodges the karma but discards the info about the link/post. SMF is open source and could be modified to save that info. So someone could write a plugin that lists everyone who thanks or discourages a post, right next to the post. I suspect that kind of transparency would radically change the current ethos around karma, since it would quickly expose the shill hater accounts.

Nah it doesn't bother me that bad, it's just the principle behind the fact that it's suppose to be used to weed out the good users from the bad ones and when a user is consciously making a decision to display themselves as a responsible, respectable user they shouldn't be rewarded negatively.

It's the moral of the people that's doing it that bothers me more than anything regardless of if anyone actually takes it seriously or not. Just would like to return the favor to the people who thought it was a good idea to do such a thing.

astor that actually is a good idea I bet one of the mods could make this happen but they probably don't care too much about it to actually do it. That would be cool though!

Ask around astor and you will see how many full members are getting negged every day irrespective of what they post, it's getting quite apparent now. For my first 3 months on here I got up to -7k and I didn't hold back in my posts, the last 6 weeks though has been -2 or 3 a day, everyday. Scout has been demolished with neg karma, that is a concerted campaign and nothing else. Interesting to see some people blowing smoke up the arse of Libertas saying they are not getting negged because they are earning their karma, well fuck me I must have strong armed mine then.

There is some shonky business going down on here and I'm getting a pretty good idea who is fucking with the system and yes I agree if it's being abused then it should be done away with along with all the shills.

thats some very fuzzy math... that would be -84 to -126 on top of you're previous negs from the other five months you were here. so really you've been getting less than one a day and you just feel like you get 2 to 3 negs a day.

Yeah. You're not the only one to pick up on "fuzzy math". I've heard some "facts" and "figures" about their negs that I know are exaggerated (not saying who). I gave up on this thread as it was a hopeless case. It's like the Blind leading the Blind. There's enough conspiracy theories over the last 3 pages alone to fill a whole Alex Jones site.

(If anyone is reading this post, do you realise that we still have an incorrect vendor's rating to fix up? And it has been inaccurate for months now? And reported time and again and ignore? THANKS!!!)

Moving on. I noticed a few members here seem a little jealous of Libertas's new-found popularity and have offered reasons as to why they are so. I don't appreciate it. Leave them alone. Libertas is a LONG overdue change to Silk Road and has quickly gained our respect. Simple as that. (No conspiracy theories please)

Piece, Love, and Fuck Haters.

Karma...KARMA?! that's what all the fuss is about? Users should use karma a a beneficial tool for our inner circle not to screw with our community, but at the same time, get over it. Grow up.

As for the mods, specifically those hating on the mods, i myself, may not always agree with what they have to say or their viewpoints or abilities, but i am undoubtedly great full for their hard work and dedication (as i am for all honest users, non mods/admins included)

We also have some great users who might as well be mods ( Pine- i am talking about you! among others)

Try and seek answers and solutions to problems on your own, having the mods here is a bonus and a privilege not a right, no one here is 'owed' anything especially by the mods...when did they become the poster child for flaws on SR?...And more importantly why?! All they try and do is help!

I, for one emailed SSBD about a personal question recently and within a few minutes i got a response that answered my question.

THANK YOU TO ALL HONEST USERS ON HERE!

Anyway Libertas is right, there is little to be gained from arguing, I came into this thread to make a point and shine some light onto an issue and it has been quite interesting to see the reaction that has provoked. I spend most of my time on here combating FUD and I do not buy into conspiracy theories however there is clear evidence of underhand tactics at play. Oh and by the way Raz, when you are posting about there being no conspiracy theories are you referring to all that info you have on who is running shills and who is negging who? just checking  ;)

One last little nibble...

Raz it is clear as day you are intentionally trying to manipulate opinion and create a perception in others regarding a number of things so I thought I should draw your attention to some non fuzzy facts.

No one is denigrating Libertas despite your numerous assertions that someone is, the only person posting this is you. I for one am very happy to see them come on board and they are doing an outstanding job.

Using the age only tactic of ridiculing what someone has to say to discredit them doesn't change the validity of the message. It is if you don't mind me saying rather disingenuous of you to assert that certain opinions are conspiracy theories when you yourself claim to know who is running shill accounts and going around dishing out the negs every 72 hours, which if you read my posts is precisely what I have said.

How about we leave it there  ;)

I'm sorry you feel this way as I feel my time has been spent almost wholly in helping the community (that's more than some around here) and a generous chunk defending you and nomad, oh look what I found:

{POSTED BELOW}

I also noticed that you "forgot" to get back to many requests from forum members, but that is not my problem. I also noticed that back in January, that samesame "forgot" to get back to someone about a  request to take down rape material. Initially, I thought that secretly someone approved of this -- let's not say who -- and wanted it left up. It was left to nomad to fix handle it.

I feel sad that a representative of Silk Road, and one whom I at one time spent much time defending, has made an issue where there was none, I have no idea why they harness such hatred to a longtime member who has spent their time helping others, but hey, I guess people change and I while I cannot force people to do the right thing, I can fortunately decide who I spend time assisting.

I also feel it downgrades the image of Silk Road for people to sling at a forum member behind the hat of a moderator, and aggressively and persistently provoke this member by choosing to gossip on this thread when they don't know the subject matter -- believe me, you are not even close -- at the expense of tending to more pertinent areas and helping people in need of attention -- that really is the role of a mod and something that I feel is basic.

Best wishes for your health scout and hope that this issue, which I feel has been antagonized over the last several pages, will not further denigrate Silk Road further than it has today.

As for samesame, I am sorry you have taken an issue with me, whatever it is, it is unfounded, but at the same time I have absolutely no intention of enlightening someone who told me I was a bullshit artist and manipulative to boot. I am sure you understand.

Dude.. that's really unfair. Anything I post is a cryptic hint of some sort? Do other members get this same kind of scrutiny? So Masterblaster and his 20 alteregos can post profanities, death threats, ramble to himself like a crackhead.. yet he doesn't get singled out for his posts? I swear to god I had this view of you being a stellar mod who doesn't try to censor or pick on members or think anything someone posts is somehow negative. This place is all about freedom? Why are you acting like *IM* some kind of nuisance and you're the gestappo? Jeez man.
I've never in my entire time here seen you jump on someones post so fast. Whatever man.

I am glad you pulled this post b/c it is not accurate. The definition of a "stellar mod" is not determined by whether or not they try to censor someone's posts. Anyway, there IS no censorship here. Or picking on. I thought the reply was remarkably soft TBO. Also, if you are Retard Roky, then stop making shills. b/c you are not very clever with them. This place is not "all about freedom" it is about drugs. There are freedom and liberation forums for you on clearnet. Also, if scout is the gestapo you may need to see a psychiatrist, or at least go back to school and learn who exactly the Gestapo were, and what they did to people, and how a soft reply constitutes somebody transforming into the Gestapo.

Scout my man.. I hate to say it.. but.. I'm with this guy on this one.

I'm not.

What exactly did he do wrong to prompt a comment about him posting cryptic hints? Am I missing something?

It almost sounds like it's the end of the fucking world, doesn't it?

Aqua - Bro, welcome to the SR forums. Where hypocracy is the order of the day (unless you're a price fixing vendor who makes the powers that be money), and the mods/admins play favorites yet have the nerve to preach their liberterian musings on how censorship of any form is wrong. I saw your post earlier about the pervert lurking around here. Believe me, knowing the mods here... they never fail to defend such fuckbags and lock/delete/ban/take sides willy nilly. Don't expect fairness. Expect to be signled out for everything you do. Expect, if a vendor cusses at you and you put him in his place, the mods jump over backwards to do their bidding.

Never fails to amaze me this place.

Okay well in that case why not leave? There is a condition called 'paranoid schizophrenia'. Some members here seem to have it and that is to be expected, as there are a lot of members here. I've never heard a mod preach their libertarian musings on censorship, either. I think they're a little preoccupied right now with other things than tracking down individuals on a forum all day and giving kmf-length oratories on value systems in a democratic society. Also, you're a hypocrite. You're talking about mods not clamping down on people under shills when you yourself are writing this from one. 15 posts and you talk like you know who's-who-that's-my-crew on the forums. You're either full of shit and thinks he knows what he's talking about or you're a shill.

Dude.. that's really unfair. Anything I post is a cryptic hint of some sort? Do other members get this same kind of scrutiny?

Because I'm not stupid.  Almost every single one of your posts here has been to talk about this "Bad Guy" and to reveal cryptic little pieces of his information here.  You've posted parts of his phone number, parts of his name, parts of his address ...

I told you before to stop revealing pieces of his information here - it doesn't matter who the person is or what the person has done, you do not post their information here.  Don't act like we're all stupid - from reading "Bad Guy's" PMs and yours, I know what you're doing in these posts and I'm asking you to please STOP posting it here!

This ^^. What you are doing aquadigio is just as bad if not worse and you lose all your convincing power by playing these silly little games. (Lol, there was a digio in Silk Chat 4 weeks ago.... he was booted for stirring the pot against someone he thought had done the wrong thing, and wrote exactly the same as you write....)

Really? Go back and look at my posts.

Second, I agreed not to reveal a single personal detail about "Bad Guy", did I not? And since then, have I not honored it? For you to jump on a post that was well within your 'guidelines' and just mentioned the word Tormail you jumped into a frenzy. In this post, that you're so upset about, what on gods green earth is there that has ANY personal information about ANYone? Unless someones name is "Tormail", they shouldn't be concerned. Christ! I post a message about "Tormail", and you accuse me of something. A little bit of power in someones hands and the hypocracy eventually comes to the surface.

I respectfully request this - can you tell me what about THIS THREAD is violating any kind of your strict policies? Absolutely NOTHING dude. You see how many nonsensical, bullshit posts come on these forums a day that go untouched? People will literally threaten to kill and rape each others orficies, yet its all fun and games? Yet I make a post titled "Check your Tormail" and you start hyperventilating?
Thats not called "moderating" sir. That's called censorship, policing, hampering the freedom and libertarian principles this entire community is based on. Could someone else please explain what is wrong with this thread? In all neutrality and fainess?

Written like Retard Roky. All of it. Any other conspiracy theories you got for us today? Yes, scout definitely jumped into a frenzy all right, you fucking retard. This is scout's reply:

Dude, come on now ... I see each and every one of these little cryptic hints you post, and I'm trying to be patient and forward with you, but you're not making it easy!

Get your head checked. You seem to have a problem with thinking the whole world is out to get you when someone looks at you and smiles. The above rambling I don't think I have to stomach to dignify, it really is quite sad.

I gaurantee I could make a post that said "Twinkle twinkle twinkle little star", yet you would jump in and say "Dude.. twinkle twinkle little star is obviously a veiled thread to out a fellow member of this community who is trafficking in child porn.. and we just cant have that around here. Because although we defend everyones right to say/do what they want.. and built this community on those principles.. we defend a pedophile's right more. And nursery rhymes that might contain 0 personal details of that person still upset him. So please, knock it off".

I can guarantee that I myself could make a post that said "Twinkle twinkle twinkle little star", and YOU would jump in and say "Raz.. twinkle twinkle little star is obviously a veiled attempt to conspire against me and it impinges on censorship." Stop wasting the mods time with your crap and make that appointment with that shrink, you really need it quickly.

Because this is your way of telling him to check his tormail so you can continue blackmailing him for btc.  Look, child predators are some of the worst people in this world, but it does not have anything to do with SR - you want to destroy him?  Do it elsewhere where it doesn't put others in danger.

This ^^. Go elsewhere and do it. Don't attack mods b/c of a persecution complex coupled with a mental inability to understand posts and tendency to misinterpret everything, intentional or not is the real question here isn't it.

I don't really do drama so idk what other posts this guy has (and don't care to look) but at least he's promoting awareness in a board that consists almost completely of spam. not taking sides just making an observation. also because i think tormail could be an easy thing to forget about for some people, especially newbies.
now can we be a happy family again?

The further back you stand the more you see. The longer you're here the less you have to check posts, you get to know who's a troll, who's confused, and who really is in the wrong, a mod for doing their job or a troll who may be pretending to be slow n order to troll a mod and take up their time, and from what I see, possibly from a shill. If this was the first post of mine you read, you'd prolly think I'm a troll. In reality I'm nice and supre friendly, but not to dicks who come here to cause trouble. He is not 'promoting awareness on a board' he is promoting awareness of the fact he has a bit too much time on his hands and likes to twist things, thus actually contributing to spam by taking up time from those who delete it while they argue over this silly little issue of his, while at the same time provoking and antagonizing that mod. You choose who to put your support behind. But I see where you are coming from. Just see where WE are coming from though.

Aqua - if you want to blackmail him, more power to you. Make the motherfucker pay!! Do realize though.. this shit might be better handled via PM or Tormail or whatever. We're a community of drug takers.. we have nothing to do with the darker side of the net. It's a complicated situation I guess.

This ^^. Handle it via PM or TorMail. Also, I already covered this, but scout is not some idiot who misinterpreted something and worked themselves into a "frenzy" over. I'm sad to see I am the only one to see this but then again, I'm the only other vet on this thread so far. So I have the benefit of standing back a little further on this issue. I don't doubt your intentions. But don't let this person twist things around on you.

... aaaand we have a compromise! Now kiss and make up gentleman. Actually no, don't do that.

As for the sick fuckwad that is causing all this - you do realize that the Aquaman is on a mission here. What mission, I don't exactly know. But please, PM/email him off the forums and settle whatever the fuck is going on.. and after that go kill yourself. I seriously can't eat my dinner after thinking about this shit. You realize you are the worst kind of creature on this planet, and deserve to suffer. If Aquaman doesn't blast your ass allover the internet, I'll gladly do it. PM me aqua.

Yeah, good idea, hold off on the kissing. ::) But the only mission "Aquaman" seems to be on is stirring shit up for mods, and under the guise of taking on someone else, attacking a mod so he can go fuck himself and if he is Retard Roky, well, he seems to get dumber by the minute. Don't take up for someone like that. It is not ethical.

We all done here?

Piece, Love, and Fuck Haters

I should have chimed in when I reported this to the mods a few days ago.
(Where the fuck are they when actual important shit happens?)

When you initially reported this, there was no reason to suspect it is/was a scam -- and we are not permitted to delete threads without reason.  Plenty of vendors eventually want to "cash out" ... that alone does not indicate that it's a scam.

The OP did NOT say that he never "cashed out" during his time as a vendor -- he said that he wanted to cash out "the rest" of his coins.  Which, again, is totally normal.

The fact that he hasn't sent the bitcoins since milkload placed the order -- now THAT is suspect and should be looked into immediately.

Yeah okay this is seriously Offtopic but, yay! :D Holy crap! How did you manage to rack up 500 posts so quick?! Congrats scout on Hero Member! :D Yay, lol! Done okay! 8)

I'll give a shit about this thread later, but just wanted to say..... yay! lol

Piece out. Drive safely. Eat plenty.

(.................that must have looked distracting lol ::)................)



...............so don't ever say I didn't try. :-\

^^^ someone clearly has too much time on their hands.

Thank you for finally showing your hand in what the issue is Raz, I suspected it probably went back to the Roky stuff, we exchanged PM's then remember? I told you what we had been instructed to do and I was the one who triggered the whole episode by editing and deleting Roky's some posts and threads.

Shame you blame scout and I for that, why don't you try focusing your attention where it is deserved instead of blaming the mods.

and down the rabbit hole we go........

we were under direct orders from DPR that if either of us engaged Roky in any way or deleted his posts or locked his threads, WE WOULD BE STRIPPED OF OUR MODERATOR STATUS.
