To those people here who are critical of choices any one of us have made, why don't you get in touch with one of us directly when you have a problem with something we do?  It'd be a hell of a lot healthier for the community than simply festering in anger until it explodes like this has.  I have only ever received one single PM from someone who took issue with something I wasn't doing, and I took what they said to heart and tried to address their concern.

This isn't high school.  If you have a problem with someone, TALK TO THEM ABOUT IT.  Directly!  Give them the chance to understand where you're coming from, what's wrong, and how they can do things differently.  We won't all agree 100% of the time, but I guarantee there wouldn't be this ridiculous amount of divisiveness if people would PM each other rather than stew in their anger over something that the other person might not even realize they have done!  Or maybe they had a good reason to do it that you are unaware of and can't know unless you talk to them!

I keep saying this, but if you have a problem with something I am doing, TALK TO ME ABOUT IT.  Please!  Most of you all know very well that I have no problem admitting it when I'm wrong, and I can take criticism when given the opportunity to understand your side of things / your perception.

This thing where people get pissed off about something and then never say anything about it until it blows up like this is ... not working.

You don't have to like me, or any of us, but we try to do our best for the community and if you approach any of us (without the personal attacks) you would see our hearts are in the right places, even when we do something you don't necessarily agree with.

First I pore over the forums, looking for guidance, and horror stories of teenagers sentenced to long restrictions from Facebook as a result of SR packaging found in their rooms.  Then, properly paranoid, I don two pairs of latex gloves, pour rubbing alcohol into a bucket, and soak the packaging overnight.  In the morning, I shred the mushy remnants by (double gloved) hand.  Then I ball it up and wait until dark.  After dark, I dress in black (choose fibers that don't shed), drive to the nearest mall, stroll casually through the parking lot, and drop my anonymized, sterilized, shredded ball of packaging into a lucky pickup truck, which then redistributes it somewhere far away from me.

Or sometimes I shred the address label and recycle the rest of the packaging in a random, confidential (locked for shredding) bin at work.  Depends on my xanax supply.

lol :D

So what is the answer to the question in the title of this post?  I thought that FE funds were already in vendor's possession and therefore unrecoverable by SR anyway.

What happens when a confirmed scammer gets banned while orders (non-FE) are pending?  I would hope funds are returned to buyers.

Any orders in escrow are refunded to the buyers.

I don't want anything. I hope that all information from the SR is kept private. I am making the point that since it is private then it doesn't work as evidence to justify rude remarks.

I understand you didn't write the support messages. Just for the record I didn't write them either.   :)

If you understand that, then why were you directing your comments toward me?  I had nothing to do with this situation, but I absolutely will defend the admin here!  Have you read any of coachella420's posts?  Have you read InfiniteSource's?  Have you talked to any of the people he threatened or any of those he scammed? 

The "rude remarks" you are referring to - if you want all of the info to remain private (which obviously it will) then why are you judging the situation without full knowledge of it?  Then again, you are free to read through InfiniteSource's post where he publicly admits doing the very things he was banned for doing.

Threatening to set someone up for a bust, or threatening to release someone's information, are some of the MOST serious offenses here based on the nature of the marketplace.  It's not a joke to threaten a customer like that, and it isn't something SR Staff handle with kiddie gloves and niceties!

215
If you want to argue that point then you need to present the evidence. Since you can't you might as well stop bringing it up to support your point - it doesn't work. You are not beyond reproach.


The very fact that you can't present the evidence makes it extra important to remain professional. You have no defense to back up the rude way in which you are responding to those who message you.

First of all, what evidence is it that you are wanting here?  Evidence of InfiniteSource's threats?  Evidence that he was coachella420 (he has admitted this publicly on the forums)?  Evidence of what, exactly?

People who message me do not receive rude responses!  I am a forum moderator here, I am not an admin - I do not handle anything over on SR itself.  The messages posted here were not from me, as I only work here on the forums.

216
If the OP was thought to be being only investigated at the time of the first message then they should have been treated with the utmost respect. If a honest vendor has his shop closed while SR is investigating his activity then he is making a sacrifice for the good of the community.

At the time of the vendor being investigated, it was already known that they were threatening customers.  It was also known that said scammer had scammed under another username - coachella420 - and was simply using a new account to continue the scam and the threats. 

Why should scammers who threaten to send drugs to someone and then report it to LE - AND STEAL PEOPLE'S MONEY - be treated "with the utmost respect" ???

Got my funds, all is well, Thank You!

Glad to hear it!

This issue should have been fixed days ago ... but it happened to me yesterday too.  I'll make sure to let the admin know this is still going on.

Silk Road discussion / Re: Are headshop vendors illegal on SR?
« on: June 01, 2013, 05:40 pm »
Not sure - don't forget that you're financially supporting (and profiting from) a criminal enterprise by selling here ... so, there's that.  Then again, others know better than I do about this issue.

Scout---Are you saying that if you set up a vendor account and you sold...lets say...model cars....that you would be breaking the law? That selling model cars is against the law because other vendors sell illegal items? Meaning that because SR is a criminal enterprise (your words) that you would be contributing to that..hence breaking the law....is this what your saying?

(FYI--I am just asking you if this is your opinion or if I am reading it wrong...I am not insinuating you are wrong in your belief)

I'm saying that is what I've read here in many threads similar to this one.  I'm not sure if it's accurate or true, but I would think that to be safe, if someone is selling something legal, they might want to sell it elsewhere to avoid any possible issues if LE were to want to fuck with them.

Ok, I've received a few posts/messages from different people telling me its their money, so I think I'm gonna keep it unless someone can prove otherwise. Though I've already spent a bit of it on drugs.

 Where do I go to report to SR in case its a bug?

I spoke with DPR about this - so it can be looked into, please PM me the name of your SR account where the coins showed up.

221
Did they show up for you?

Newbie discussion / Re: finalizing before shipment
« on: June 01, 2013, 06:28 am »
We always advise that you stay in escrow and do not finalize early.  If the vendor is requesting that you finalize early, you can ask them to cancel the order, and you can place it with a different vendor.

Your buyer stats will not be affected negatively at all by taking it to resolution.  The only time it would affect your buyer stats is if you:

a)  let it autofinalize
b)  receive a refund from SR

DO NOT finalize early!  Stay in escrow and just extend the auto-finalization!

Yes, you should click "resolve" and extend the auto-finalization date.  That'll give it a little more time for the package to get to you, and it will NOT affect your stats at all.

Good on you for not FE'ing!  :)
