Fair enough Wretched. The bottom line is you in fact have no idea at all..but felt in the best interest of safety you should throw a post in that we should be cautious about any modifications that SR makes to the forums to make sure it does not compromise us in any way. See I understood your post right away. What I didn't understand is why you made it. You clearly have no idea what you are talking about and yet felt a need to "warn" us on something that CAN NOT HAPPEN! Also lets assume for one second that their modifications could indeed, maybe, put us at risk... Do you think they would make them? Now let us get back to reality... There is NOTHING they could do that would ever put our anonymity at risk here on the forums that we all access through TOR. I am not trying to jump in your ass. But I am trying to make a point that we do not need a member with such high regard as yourself, making post about security in threads that not only have nothing to do with security but in fact your statement is just impossible to happen. It would be like me warning someone about the dangers of flying yet they are walking to the store. And then when someone calls me out like I did you...I say " Should you not be concerned about a plane crashing? And then you say " well I guess except for they are not flying, they are walking and they are in no danger of a plane landing on them. And then I would say " But did you see the episode of shameless?? When the engine fell out of a plane and almost killed William H Macy? At least in my example a plane can actually crash and a falling engine could hit someone. In your "warning" the think you actually said we should be careful about......COULD NEVER HAPPEN. So would it be possible to have a thread on here when some Hero member does not chime in with their security or Leo concerns? Even though since the very beginning of Silk Road there has NEVER been a LE incident or a security breach of any kind!!! I think the worst thing that happened is a vendor got pissed and actually put a customers name and address in the forum. And that might have been in the first 3 months. Yet there is a group of HERO posters (meaning they made over 1000 post..that is how you become a hero member) that in the real world they would be like the group of people that believe that the world is going to end in 2013... Nothing wrong with them at all and most are really smart guys. But they are often throwing out make believe stories that could happen so they have something to talk about.that have never happened and telling stories how you must use pgp when in fact there is no security in pgp at all and the only thing it is good for is if SR gets compromised. The best argument is why not use it as it does not hurt anything and I totally agree yet they tell new members if they do not use it they will not get vended too or if a new vendor wont use it they won't sell anything. (both of course totally false) I just want a less paranoid, safe road! Nothing more or less!
