Anyone else feel like this sub sucks now

What the fuck is the point of this sub if you can't ask about vendors. Why wait until Sunday I asked if anybody knew if 2cb fly made it to the dark net yet and they removed it and told me to wait until sunday. This place isnt even helpful anymore I miss the good old days. I'm going to the hub and I was part of the original migration from when sr1 went down. I even donate to the bookfund. It wasn't even a true mod like Gwen or lobali it was can you taste the waste. Fuck you buddy you've done nothing to earn respect. Is it to much to ask to have a forum that isn't run by douchebag mods on a power trip? It seems like they're spreading these days

I must agree with you, pretty shitty quality of posts now.

Everyone and their mothers are exit scamming.


[24 Points] KarmaTaBurn:

All I can say is this sub was not always like the way it is now.

When this subreddit was under 20k members...we had one of the tightest knit communities I've every belonged to...and I've been around since before we broke 10k...when it was even tighter. Many of the good people now stick to the speciality forums which I have also resorted to myself. This is still the cornerstone with the most important info...don't get me wrong.

However, the more it grew...the more drama we witnessed. Of course it is not the sub's fault as much as it is the fault of the mainstream media shedding light on DNM's...subsequently leading the public to this sub one way or another.

That's my .02 mBTC

  1. Can U Taste the Waste was around long before Lobali
  2. The no sourcing rule is in place so this sub doesn't get shut down as it's against reddit's rules
  3. Suck it up

Also I have been here from day one.

You've been here but don't know WASTE?

Hell, I'm pretty new around here and know he's been here from the early days on.


[8 Points] youtakesally:

Really?

Great. 40% of reviews end with "haven't tested or tried yet" and don't get deleted, but a guy asks about a rare product and has to wait till Sunday? What a load of shit.

EDIT: Also the, "where to go / which is the best market now that X is not working / exit scammed / got seized / or just because" should be deleted before product inquiries.


[9 Points] wordupnicka:

Word man. What the fuck is the difference between asking the question now, and asking on sunday? Do LE take sundays off? Fucking dumbass wannabe-mod. We really need to break off and start a proper forum on tor for all DNM userbase to talk freely. Is that not what this damned subreddit was supposed to be? It has turned into a drama infested cesspit of hypocritical cross dressing fuckheads.


[9 Points] deepdot:

This sub is a gold mine & literally a life saver.

There is a very simple explanation for your concern:

Free for all sourcing threads = impossible to monitor ALL of them and prevent them from being abused to conduct direct dealing = sooner or later this sub is banned from Reddit.

2 Sourcing threads a week = easy to monitor and prevent direct dealing = sub is kept alive.


[6 Points] None:

Oh no I'm not a true mod :(

[5 Points] RennHuhn:

oh, no the: "this sub has gone shit" circlejerk starts where everyone and their mother can be proud how much of an oldfag he is.


[3 Points] WonkyWarrior:

I feel like reviews are all about the same vendors there's not enough on smaller vendors.


[5 Points] None:

You could figure out sourcing by yourself. However, this would require two things: 1. Intelligence. 2. Work. Thus if you are a stupid lazy motherfucker you end up making posts like OP's.


[4 Points] FakeNameISwear:

Every community has at least one rule that is completely stupid. My favorite BDSM forum has a rule against the words child, children, kid, or any variation- not just in a sexual way (which is TOTALLY UNDERSTANDABLE), but as in you can't say "I'm picking my kids up from school" or "You're acting like a child" without it getting deleted.

Overreaction is par for the course. Like Stern when he was terrestrial, the joy is in getting around it as often and as creatively as possible. Make it a game. Or, alternatively, start your own sub without those rules and build the community you want.


[3 Points] None:

I've been on this sub since its started, and the only thing I don't like about it is the auto mix that deletes shit randomly and that you have to wait until Sunday or Wednesday to ask questions no matter what


[3 Points] None:

come to my sub /r/Thebarbarians


[3 Points] agentgreasy:

I can't disagree with the way things have changed, but I can't agree that its all as a result of personnel changes.

Whether we want to truly admit it or not, the last 90 days have not been the greatest in the war for freedom. We might have established some ground, but in the short run the reality is we aren't getting far. As a result, some things have occurred - more importantly, there have been some very clear, very public intrusions into this, our, domain.

It may seem a little jaded, it may seem in the face of the belief/direction/desire/achievement/goal of action, hell - even if the purpose you are here for hasn't even the slightest to do with those goals, the point remains: there will be those who act in both directions while sitting in a public space. Just remember that is exactly what this is, a public space. While we choose to operate in a world of shadows, don't for a second think that just because this is a congregation of those who support, and those who participate, that this is a protected realm. You are not in a protected realm. You are back in the public.

It might suck. It might be annoying. It might degrade the quality of this sub. That isn't necessarily a permanent change. However, I find it unlikely that if in the face of these times we deviate and ultimately throw up yet another one... and try to do whatever we want, well - I won't really be surprised when you either end up back here, or... well, not.

A little diligence and a little self control go a long way in keeping the good things we have.

Yeah, it's all drama now. Not like your sober, clinical opinions.


[3 Points] loveisrealnfa:

I don't think it sucks, but I have noticed an influx of children who seem entitled.


[2 Points] andblowyourhousedown:

Me, I like it.


[3 Points] Taylorswiftfan69:

Thats it. Im going to kill myself.


[2 Points] davaunte:

This sub is trash, auto mod sucks, but everything else sucks too


[2 Points] Shift84:

I was on the original silk road subreddit, I've also been on this one for a bit. Has something changed to where the content isn't as good cause I definitely don't come here as often. Did an administrator give a warning? I feel like the subreddits have been around long enough that rules shouldn't really be changed or strictly enforced unless they have to be. Pushing forward and jumping the gun are normally not good tactics for anything.


[2 Points] None:

Yeah I feel the sub as gone to shit a little bit. We're promoting freedom of speech and market, yet the mods want to silent us. It's ironic if you ask me.


[2 Points] young_k:

waaaahhhhhh


[1 Points] holecloud:

yep it sucks. I actually had fun when the whole sand/belize sit was going o, now I feel like an old fag, and no one knows what the fuck I'm saying. It's a bunch of buyers and a few vendors, and the old fags are just lurking now because its always "will my bitcoin show up", "blank is doing an exit scam", arrest this and that, fucking debbie downer sub.

Plus, when you been around a while when vendors start dropping off and exit scamming it's like you get burnt out and tired, the whole "community" shit is just that, a bunch of shit, at least now


[1 Points] AdrianBeatyoursons:

yes...too many pigs


[1 Points] None:

agreed


[1 Points] None:

This subreddit has been on a downward spiral since Agora went tits up


[1 Points] TheDigitalAgora:

Agree on this. I also find it hard to promote my services


[0 Points] glavnogo-inzhenera:

I mean what the fuck. We need a .onion forum to discuss vendors, product, and be what this sub used to be before the LE takeover. I'm sick of sites modding like bitches and logging IPs.


[-2 Points] LongLiveThe_King:

You know, we allowed people to make any kind of post they wanted before and people complained about that too. Dumbass questions asked by people that seemed incapable of using a search bar became the number one post on this subreddit. Either way people will be upset, at least this way things are more organized and the admins are at least content with what we have going on.

If you don't like our rules you're free to leave, no one is forcing you to stay here.


[-1 Points] bobbiggs69:

No Bailey Jay dude. He/She kept things in check around here.


[-2 Points] LittleNiggerBaby4:

I call for a mass exodus to /r/OGDNM, I just created it right now, you may ask sourcing questions any day of the week!

I'm going to the hub...,

Good luck with The Hub - you'll probably need it.
