Silk Road forums

But wouldn't of made more sense to delete the quote or the thread?

As goldenrod stated, it is left in place a) so as others viewing the thread know what sort of things really shouldn't be discussed on a public forum like this for security reasons and b) so as the the person knows that this information was in the public domain the second it was posted and leaving it up will hopefully prevent them from using that method at any time in the future.

We do not delete threads here in order to ensure that freedom of speech is preserved, and I very, very rarely edit anything I've quoted unless there is a pressing need for me to do so.

Silk Road recommends that you do not use Bitcoin exchangers that operate on Silk Road - please see the following entries on the SR Wiki:

Please note that, while there are many vendors offering to sell Bitcoins directly from this site, we are not set up to facilitate this and it is very easy to get scammed this way. Until we are set up for it, we recommend you get Bitcoins from a third-party exchange. If you do get scammed we will have no way to help you.

I need help with a bitcoin transaction from a Silk Road vendor.

Unfortunately we do not offer support for these kinds of transactions because we cannot hold your payment in escrow. If there is an issue, you'll have to work it out directly with your vendor.

O kay, I did read this but thought there must be some Vendors that are trusted and used by others?  I do apologize if I did anything wrong by posting this.   

Oh no you didn't do anything wrong, not at all! I just wanted to point out that we recommend you get your Bitcoin off-site because we can't protect you due to how BTC purchases take place when buying from a Silk Road vendor (requiring you to send your Bitcoin to the vendor before they send anything to you).

Yo Libby, I'm gonna slide a couple ones in your G strang.

She got a donk! She got a donk!

I can assure you, Jack N Hoff, you would be in for quite the unpleasant surprise...

Are there even mods on the boards? I looked on the member list and theres 3 admins and everyone else seems to be regular members.

Yes, we are here and we do generally keep a good eye on the place to make sure those spammers don't get a foothold.

Regarding how they can post so much, I believe they are most likely using bots and captcha solving software to launch their spam walls every hour or two, sometimes more often. Their tactics do seem to vary though, so there is definitely some manual input on it. Either way, they're gone now and they'll be gone when they come back again.

As this is clearly in breach of each of these thirteen rules, why have you allowed this material to remain up without not only removing it, but even contesting it?

Those "rules" are part of the standard registration text for these types of forums.  You also know very well that we are not permitted to edit or remove posts unless they are scams, spam, endanger someone, or involve CP.

Is that a fact? Why did you allow MB's "Can I Cum In Your Kids?" up for a significant time? This was very cleary CP related material.

Piece, Love, and Fuck Haters.

The moderating team will not be engaging either of you further in any attempt to stir up dust that has already settled. The simple fact of the matter is that moderators do not have to justify themselves to you regarding decisions that are made; this is a privately owned forum and we are answerable to DPR, and DPR alone - not to a member or two who bear grudges for whatever reason they believe they have to do so. That reason is neither here nor there, and we are all entitled to our feelings on the matter, members and moderators, both.

It would be a lot more productive for all concerned to let sleeping dogs lie and move on from this discussion, and get back to helping out the community that we are _all_ a part of. Though our views on things may differ - and nobody is forced to enjoy the company of anybody else - we are all on the same side here.

Please take those words into consideration... Arguing on the forums like this serves no purpose but to fracture the community we are all building and contributing to.

That will be the last comment I'll be making on this matter, but I sincerely request that all of us - myself included - take a few moments to see that a fractured community is weak and open to attack from its enemies, something that we are certainly not lacking. We don't need to make their job easier by making enemies of each other as well.

It is escrow (btc)  and 0 escrow (usd) , but there is a different order mixed in with it that is in transit to me now.

Then yes, your order is unhedged and you will receive back the exact amount of Bitcoin that you paid in.

Hey There.

I am a new Vendor using the SR name MUSHBUD.  You can view my SR profile here:

http://silkroadvb5piz3r.onion/silkroad/user/8304d94b9f/10

There is a post located in Rumors posted here:

http://dkn255hz262ypmii.onion/index.php?topic=165850.0

I'd like to address the situation in that post, and let the people involved know that I am aware of the problem with some
of my earliest samples, and that I am offering them a new sample that I have personally tested, and I will do this at my own expense...

However,.

I don't seem to meet the requirements necessary to create a post and address the problem.

Are you able to help me by increasing my post count to what is required to make this post?

If not what must I do?

Thanks for your time.

_-MUSHBUD-_

Hi MUSHBUD,

I'm afraid you'll have to reach 50 posts like everybody else; it wouldn't be fair to have a two-tier system whereby those that can pay for a vendor account can skirt the 50 post restriction when those that cannot pay for a vendor account remain bound by it.
