With my tin foil hat firmly attached I would allege some people are operating an army of shill accounts they have groomed up to 100 posts and are now negging the fuck out of the mods, Libertas hasn't come to their attention yet and posting this will probably attract myself some more negative karma but so be it.

You know who you are you miscreants :-)

now mayte, that is not  a very fair thing to say about Libertas. at all. and its wrong anyway

What do you mean? I didn't say anything about Libertas, you sure you read my post properly?

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.

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 appreciate the sentiment though, I'm glad to hear people are finding my posts helpful. I'll do my best to keep it up!

No problem, sorry I didn't see it a little sooner!

Libertas

Eh ... you don't need to be apologizing - we can't be expected to be here 24/7 but we are here for the majority of the day/night and delete it as quickly as we can.

Indeed! We get to it as soon as we're able to do so.

Thanks for your reply! I understand how the process is done and that there is a lot to catch up on with regarad to recent event. I was just hoping for a current ballpark estimate with this in mind, are we talking a few more days or a few weeks. Somethjing like that. I understand that itś difficult to give an exact answer, but i thought if i throw it out there maybe iĺl get a little wiser. Thanks again mate.

No problem! Given that it was put into resolution a few days ago, I'd imagine it will be seen within the next 24 hours, possibly a little more, but certainly not weeks!

Can you please expand on what "archived" means? In other words, does it mean it can be queried on the search engine and found and/or linked to? Maybe this is more complicated than I know (I don't have a degree in computer security), but I'm not sure why, if it CAN be done, that it wouldn't be done. I imagine for any vendor this would be an essential feature to delete any potential evidence of any sort of activity on the site, especially given that every sale and amount sold is right there on their profile as public record.

By the way, Libertas, how long have you been a mod?

I'm not entirely sure but I'll attempt to find out for you.

It's not really necessary for a vendor to be able to delete their accounts or evidence of their activity; the police would need their password to prove that they own the account, and no vendor is going to incriminate themselves in that way. Most vendors are also employing security measures such as hidden encrypted volumes etc. thus negating the need for things to be deleted.

If a vendor were able to delete their accounts on a whim, what would stop them from switching to FE then scamming and suddenly deleting their account, disappearing without a trace?

I have been a Mod since May 03, 2013, 12:32 am, but have been a member since late 2011.

Hey just a quick shout to say hello. I'm a newbie for sure, just made my tails live bootable usb stick yesterday, got some bitcoins and sent my first deposit so I'm stoked, but I am a little concerned with how long it's taking for my deposit to show up. I checked it out at blockchain and it looks good with 21 confirmations and I'm still at a $0.00 balance.  I made the deposit around 3 hours ago. Should I be worried about my money or is this normal for a first deposit?

Hi mrmilleripresume,

Welcome to Silk Road!

Don't worry about your deposit, it will come through. Once you see it at your receiving address, it's been received by the system and will be credited to your account shortly.

You can read more about deposits on the SR Wiki here:

The withdrawal you are seeing is the Silk Road tumbler in action:

was reported weeks ago 

Unfortunately due to the DDoS issues all hands were preoccupied with securing the site and dealing with the aftermath. A vendor must receive X amount of reports before they are suspended, and investigative action is taken when those reports are seen by an Administrator.

All buyers please note for future issues with any vendor: if they are scamming, or there are issues (apart from resolution issues), please click the 'report this vendor' link on their vendor page!

Libertas

Looks like this scammer bit the dust.

I had an order in escrow with him that I never received. It is two days out from resolution dead line. Am I likely to get my money back?

Thanks and regards.

Rejoice all, the wicked old witch at last is dead!

Yes, you will receive a full refund. Put it into resolution and request 100%.

75 k later...

You're a scumbag, SamGiancana.

Libertas

Thanks, Libertas. Yes, I'm still able to find them. I just noticed more activity than usual, so thought I'd ask. And thanks to you and all the moderators.

You're very welcome!
