Silk Road forums

How can I put this any more clearly for you:  SR DOES NOT MAKE ANY MONEY OFF OF VENDORS WHO SCAM BUYERS OUTSIDE OF ESCROW.  And you should NOT have finalized early.

Silkroad only takes a fee off of transactions completed IN ESCROW.  When you go OUTSIDE of the escrow system (against our warnings!) SR does not earn anything on the transaction, so get your facts straight before you start accusing the staff of this bullshit.

The way to fix it is simple: DO NOT FINALIZE EARLY.  ALWAYS STAY IN ESCROW.

These are things we have ALWAYS ALWAYS advised. 

Yes, it should be in your forum settings - something about not warning you if there has been a reply.

Whats the point of this if i am not going to be able to warn others of the inside scam thats going on here folks its real easy to see they dont want to fix this problem there making a shit load of money off og your ass lossing your money wtf is that all about really think about this . Silk Road Forums mean shit ... if they want to just let the vendor fuck us. Really how would you put this any other way . i think its time for someone to come to the front line on here and be a leader of the site or be a chicken shit thats in on it , has to be ... my moneys gone wtf really come on ... this is BULL SHIT ..........................

I'm sorry that you lost your money, but FEing is advised against constantly everywhere including by SR itself.

Also despite your assessment that "Silk Road Forums mean shit", you would see in a search for "MendicinoMistress" (if this is what you're still talking about) that every post mentions that they are a scam. SR doesn't have your money - MendicinoMistress does. That account is no longer even listed as a vendor, so SR took as much action against them as they could.

Re-read what onetwothree wrote and let it sink in.  We advise SPECIFICALLY AGAINST FINALIZING EARLY.  We can ONLY protect you when you remain IN ESCROW.  We do not have your money - you made sure that there would be no way we could help you when you decided to FE against all warnings otherwise. 

I'm sorry you were scammed, but if you had done a search you would have seen that others were having trouble with this vendor, and that you should never FE.  The vendor has been banned, by the way, which is just about as much action as SR can take in this matter since you FE'ed.

Yeah, I don't think this is anything, but maybe I'm misunderstanding?

Yeah, I received all of the coins I withdrew last night without issue.  That tells me that this is not a universal problem ... which makes me want to suggest again that if you are having problems and have not yet contacted support, you probably should do so in order to help them know which accounts are having issues.

Contacted support 24 hours ago, has not been read yet.

I'm not sure if that makes me more concerned or less concerned.   

Did anyone ever consider the possibility that they have it set not to notify the sender when they read a message?  I know it shows that on our normal accounts, but they could have theirs set up differently.

And I know for a fact they've been on and have responded to some messages within the last 24 hours.

Have you contacted support?  Is the issue with withdrawals, deposits, or both?
