Silk Road Forums

If you are aware they are trolling then why are you feeding them? this is precisely the reaction they are seeking, stop feeding them, you are just perpetuating this pointless and unnecessary drama.

I would speculate some of those who are citing the CP issue as a soapbox for the censorship debate are more interested in stirring up unrest and vitriol on these forums motivated by less than honorable intentions rather than any real sense of moral outrage at a perception free speech is being stymied.

I have yet to see any thing less that outright trolling on the matter, there was considerable debate on the old SMF in a dedicated thread that for the most part only served to elicit very angry and vitriolic responses from most community members.

This is such a non issue here, can we please have some perspective and see the trolls in our midst who are simply stirring up trouble just for the sheer hell of it and not let this degenerate into another shit storm for no reason whatsoever.

Do not feed the trolls, this is internet 101.

 

Perhaps the ignore feature only applies to messages, and not forum posts?

This feature should hide all posts by those in your ignore list, if it is not working I will bring it to the attention of the admins however most efforts are being concentrated on preparations for the market site launch at this time so it may need to wait a short while before being attended too.

"None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe they are free".

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

This is our slice of freedom and I am very VERY excited about what is about to happen. Many in this community know how corrupt and morally bereft our governments are. What we are doing here is taking the power from those who seek to oppress us and are keeping it for ourselves.

Yes we will run the gauntlet, yes we are at risk of severe punishment if we are caught but they cannot stop us all and the more we stand up against what we know to be wrong the more chance we have of effecting some real change against the fucked up systems of coercion and control that we are subjected too every single day of our lives.

I'm ready.

Not long to go now everyone

Are you all ready? I know I am.

Hi everyone

I just wanted to introduce myself to you all as a new global moderator on these forums. I am very excited about having the opportunity to serve the Silk Road community and with the launch date for the new market site getting closer it will not be too long now until these forums are bustling with Silk Road related activity, can't wait!

Yours in service,

Synergy

HI synergy , congarts on your position , i am a long time sr customer and i have to say i am appalled at how some of the high ranking sr members and vendors reply ,mock and insult some users for expressing there thoughts , the more i read these forums there more i want to have nothing to do with the new sr , the sr yes there was some arguments here and there but this new forum is turning in to a circus with really bad acts

Thank you babeandweed, I think a few people are more on edge than normal at the moment, with all that's happened and with the site being seized we are going through a period of transition. If you have been around for a while you would have seen other periods in silk roads history where the community has become quite unsettled, I am confident when the new market site launches we will see things start to settle down again, let's just hope that happens soon

Is Inigo here as well?

inigo is here under the forum name 'inigoSR' at this time, their account is global moderator and they have been verified by Libertas.

What is a "coachella"  he/ she /it  seems to get  the hackles up, can someone fill me in ?

Not for the feint hearted but this will give you an idea:

http://www.[Beware - This subreddit belongs to Coachella] www.reddit.com/r/silkroadUNcensored/

Clearnet of course.

Holy fuck, I descended into madness when I read some of those posts. Bug-eyed crazy.

Pretty sure that this whole coachella thing is a long running joke by the staff when they are bored. The whole thing is like a episode of law & order.

If it is, it's well fucking schizophrenic - I remember long argumentative threads on the old SRF, and there's been one or two on here too. If it's the admins playing both sides then they got some serious mental issues... Can anyone link to one of the threads on here?

kittenfluff, you have just been sucked into the world of coachella, did it ever cross your mind that the poster above yours, Captain Jack Sparrow could be yet another coachella account? I may be a new moderator but I am not not knew to these forums and the very suggestion coachella is an invention of the administrators/moderators is one of the most outlandish speculations yet and is worthy of a place in coachella's subreddit along with the other crazy conspiracy theories

Uh, if you're being serious I'm not coachella. Hate to say it, but that cat's got you throwing wild accusations everywhere.

I'm not really concerned whether you are or whether are not coachella, the point being made was what you posted was in the same league of ridiculousness as what coachella posts.

Are you really suggesting the moderators and administrators of this site have so little to to with their time that they have operated and banned at least 5 vendor accounts and literally dozens and dozens of shills across multiple platforms including reddit and BMR?

I think you might want to reconsider your original post if you want to be taken seriously, coachella or not.
