Im just curious but why would DPR want to block new registrations? If even more people are trying to get on isnt that a good thing? Do we (you) not want anymore users in SR or is it full? So the vendors that are there can have the existing buyers only. As time goes on and vendors fade away does DPR open it up to just new vendors? As well as you are restricting vendors to the existing members only. Where will new registers go? Thats where the vendors will follow to and SR will lose out on all of that business. When you say "a way to block all these morons" I assume you are refering to all the current members who flipped out while SR was down? Both vendors and buyers. As well as you must be refering to the existing members that are trying to scam for BTCs. Has nothing to do with new registers. I think the bottom line is you have an account and its working and thats all you are thinking about. Also if you consider the site going down and having its members freaking out about being ripped off is limelight I question your thinking all together. If anything it made members pull their BTCs out and others steer clear but thats what you would have anyway. New registers they wernt here when you were so by seniority that makes you superior. I have met people like that. They usually wont help other users (definately not newbies) and look at themselves as privlidged for "being there first" although they are just another one of the masses. Its easy to call others behaviors obnoxious when you have no investment in the object that is at risk. I would like to see (although I can predict) how you would behave if the situation was different. If you had a large amount of BTC or maybe someone elses tied up. Maybe you can afford to juggle the money around but not everyone can. Im not saying everyones reactions were sensible but there is a justifiable reason to be worried and for that and combined with their different characters and the variables of their addiction as well as their financial state--I understand as I think DPR does. Thus the reason he has handled this professionaly and not got caught up in the commotion. Everyone understands the risk and I dont think there is anyone who doesnt thank DPR and everyone else that contributes to what makes this all work (its not just DPR) but at the same time these people are also contributing to the community that is at the heart of this. They pay their fees and follow the rules. These people make the system possible and in that respect and in this particular case forgiveness and understanding should be at the top of everyones list right now. Then there is the other foot that you can try my shoe on: im a SR member who split with their significant other. I need to start an account of my own now. I have been waiting just like you. Should I be "halted" from registering a new account? What if it was you that just found SR like some of the new registers have. You remember how excited you were to see it? Well you cant join because your new. Hopefully you can understand where im coming from and you take this the right way. Try not to have a "spazathon" over it.
I appreciate the quotation marks on spazathon since it is my use of the word that you now misuse it.
Vendor accounts are more dangerous than buyer accounts. Sorry you lost your SR account access with your gf.bf whatever significant other means to you.
Barely missed the registration being open huh, I do not think personal issues with your love life are gonna hit a sweet spot in The Staff's hearts to make this one exception. I wished it had been invite only or 1 day a week randomly allowed to control userbase about 7 months ago. Too many abuse the system as it is, but never the less the registration is not closed forever so maybe your personal spazathon should relax down.
These threads are pointless. Registration will be allowed when it is allowed, no one even has a quote on why it is not currently allowed.
