Title: [SOLVED] I'm a new vendor, and could use some help with posting restrictions.
Post by: MUSHBUD on June 06, 2013, 12:52 am
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.

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.

I was trying to circumvent having the only meaningful post I could make, being made to the Newbie section, which would then be pushed out of view by the dozens of  "Spam to 50" posts taking place in there right now.  $500 should account for some credibility which is what you're hoping will be gained from 50 posts, but if you're going to allow "Spam to 50" posts in newbie then whats the point?

I have a reputation, fragile and under scrutiny right now, and I'd like to be able to defend myself.

Can I make a spam to 50 post or is this considered in bad taste?

Thanks for your help.

I understand your frustration, but the 50 post rule was not brought in to establish "credibility" or anything of the sort; it was brought in to keep the mass-spammers that attempt to direct people to their scam website confined to the Newbie discussion forum as much as possible so as discussion can take place in the main forums relatively unhindered.

We do not condone spamming, but if you feel it is necessary to post a "Spam to 50" thread, then do what you consider necessary.

Sorry that we can't lift the restriction - moderators have no power to do so in any event, and it would create a 'two-tier' system that goes against everything that Silk Road stands for.

I understand now thank you.  The logic didn't make sense but the situation does.
