The Silk Road's position is that you should not FE and that you should instead use the escrow system.
Blaming the staff because people go against their advice and bypass the escrow system makes no sense at all.
It would be counter productive for the staff to try to stop people from FE'ing when they want to. Freedom is the freedom to do something stupid.
I didn't FE but now my money's been locked up in an obvious scammer's account for two weeks now. That is an administrative failure, as I see it. I'd have ordered from you already if my money was refunded. Instead, it's now too late to get it in time for my travels and there's less money flowing in to legitimate vendors such as yourself as a result.
I agree that getting scammed by FE is simply user error. But there's more to this issue than that.
Considering the vendor was only banned a few days ago how have your funds been locked up for two weeks and how is that an administrative failure?
Seriously I never cease to be amazed by the attitude of some people, you are buying illegal drugs off the internet for fucks sake, am I the only one who is still amazed that you can take your order in resolution and get a refund if it doesn't arrive or there is an issue with the vendor?
I am sorry for those who got scammed, I really am but anyone who FE for this vendor gave up their protection as soon as they released the funds from escrow.
Anyway I have been pressing the FE issue with DPR this week and he has agreed to bring this to the community for discussion soon once the new rating and review overhaul has bedded down so watch this space.
