Silk Road forums

I try to delete most pm's after i'm done with the pm but i do have about 45 in my pm box from yesterday and today that I have not deleted yet.

I'm up for looking to find under mods to help as I very much need the help.
So speak up in this thread if you would like me to assign you and under mod position.
I'd like to have under mods that know what they are talking about and experiences with what the types of issues that come up on a regular basis.

I do give freely advice on the forums but when i get the same questions on the forum PM's that could easily be found with a few differently types of searches which can found by sinply changing a few words in the search feature using a different wording it becomes overwhelming.
I'm sure very few envy the position I am in and the misinformation placed around on the forums I can't stand and prefer to answer with correct information. It has been told to me that I do too much work on this forum and should really cut back my time i dedicate to the forums and that the forums are a place that rarely get thought of and is the last thing on someones mind...I do not except this as the forums are the most looked after places to help those with real answers to real problems. I don't do this for bitcoins but they are overwhelming me to provide correct information has caused me to feel obliged to help in any way i feel helps for each person that comes to me for answers.
I will be cutting back my hours on the forums to a less stressful position on the forums, this includes going on a vacation in the morning and being gone til Monday.

I love this community and want it to prosper and it's a place I want members to feel to ask question but the questions should be more directed at the community at large to receive the input of various members and not just my opinion. I am not doing this for BTC but some small compensation would be nice I felt a 3 cent donation would not be that big of a deal for receiving correct information but that was largely ignored as I am now flipping the coin to ignore questions that the community could help answer or Silk Road himself would have the very factual answer to some questions which I can not answer all questions because in most cases I am left out of the Issues with SRM just the same as every other member.

Do not take me for a greedy person looking for payment for simply talking to members via PM but as a frustrated over worked person with too much weight on my back. Maybe I do work so hard on the forums like a drug addict would work all day to get their fix that night but I do care for the community and the care to have the forums grow and become a safe environment for all to enjoy.

honestly, I don't know how you do it.
especially in the recent climate. BUT things are looking up.
Happy to donate when I need something.

Things are looking upward in the last couple days and I hope it does become a fabulous October for each and every forum member and for the Silk Road site in general, we have an honest overall positive vibe here and a very good thing going for us at this moment. I very much appreciate the fact I have Silk Road to go to as a source for much desired drugs that in the past have been obtainable to me in the past and I think many overlook that fact and take for grant the fact that we have this site with us for now and tend to dwell on the few issues that do pop up in a flamboyant way overshadowing the fact that the majority of us wouldn't even have access to such things in real life.
I'm going to remain the best moderator I can for the forums to my abilities but It's tends to get overwhelming having the entire forum on my back, I do appreciate the other mods that do help, jowblow2 esp helps me out greatly in the cases he steps into and seems to me to do as good a job as I can when he does post and chronicpain does what he can for the site, but Kind bud disappeared the second day after being upgraded to mod and DigitalAlch is a great moderator but he has personally medical conditions IRL that doesnt allow him to put in the time and effort as much as he likes, so it puts the forums on my back and the lack of compensation for the position from Silk Road and the community have greatly gone ignored placing a high amount of responsibility to me to do the best I can for the community which I adore and want to do the best I can for but was recently really slowed down my time to take care of the situation in my assigned areas of moderation.
I just cant read every post by myself anymore and and provide answers to every single question.

It seems to me being a nice guy and ignoring the fact that 20+ PM'sa day come to about advice and not any kinda btc tip for said advice in compensation has forced me to ignore such advice in the future without a donation to my  moderation tip jar on SRM under the name "nomad bloodbath".
It saddens be top have to appear so callous and sounding like such an asshole but I spend so much time practically modding the entire forum not just my section lately that I do not have the time or strength to deal with these  common questions.
I suggest sending your questions to Silk Road himself on his PM either here on the forums or the SRM.
It seems he would be better at answering most questions anyway.
I will however will give the best advice I can and work hard to find you the facts myself for a single BTC donation to my tip jar on SRM.
Like i've said it saddens me to put this into effect but the time and effort I put into the forums seems to greatly be ignored with any kinda compensation or appreciation. I'd rather just have you direct them at Silk Road and see how his advice helps you instead for a period of time. I tend to average less than 5 btc a month as it is yet answer over 500+pm's a month.
I'm very very open to discussion of this matter and would appreciate any feedback on this situation.

Was wondering if mxe or ketamine would help my slight depression from time to time would be interested but idk im iffy on the mxe id rather go with K what do yall think?

I tend to wake up in a rather fine mood mood the day after but I do half some side effects for a couple hour s after using it. For the first couple hours the next day I tend to be slightly out of balance with my body movements
a small equilibrium issue nothing major just kinda clumsy a little, but you have to take in my i usually take 4 times the suggested dosage on a MXE night...but it definitely helps with my depression for a few days. I'd need to try popping a antidepressant before bed after using MXE and see if that even further helps with depression.

How the hell did i miss this thread?...lol
I got some from you on tuesday I think like 500mg...it was all gone by wednesday night.
I fuckin love MXE.
I tend to  take like 200mg a night of the stuff...of course i feel like a madman behind the terminal with my hair blown back like i'm in a tornado.
Sweet thread RapidImprovement guess i've been kinda occupied in other threads lately, but great job on boosting the community moral around here, I myself have felt very depressed when I login everyday but I got a few orders finalized tonight and it seems to have renewed my faith in the forums a bit so I'll be back in here tomorrow with my mp3 player blasted and working my ass of as usual.

You are a fine American my friend.

people shouldn't be lazy dealing with their own security. This is official SR forums, same owners etc. I remember forums used to be on the main site. There must be a good reason for them to be separately. One thing that pops into mind that this one even if the main site goes down we will still have a way to get official information.

This is correct.
The forums original were on the main site and of a poorer quality forum.
Also the forums were put on a didn't server so when the main site went down there could be some kinda communication between the members and with Silk Road.
After the Mt Gox Black Friday incident and the Gawker Article the SR main site was flooded with so many ppl that it was crashing on a regular basis so this forum was created to help alleviate the traffic and two keep communication between members intact both vendors and customers could still talk to each other and the panic of not have an order trapped soley on SR was some what lessened.
It was also instructed to not use the same passwords for the main site and the forums because of the Mt Gox security incident.
So many members actually switch their passwords up on both sites on a regular basis to keep up personal security.  It;s fairly easy to exchange a encrypted message with someones PGP public key to verify that the vendor/person on the forums is the same as on the main site.
