Here be contention......re: a mod

Now, I'm not at all suggesting anything (OK alittle bit), this is an observation and private opinion.

Gabralkhan. Did anyone else feel like he/she was trying really hard to get moderator status? Admittedly I didn't check his/her post history, but whilst I was lurking over the last two months he/she was being super active. Not only in the amount of his/her posts, but in the thought that went into them. < That reads like a reason to make him/her a mod, but the time from first posting reasonable theories, to being a mod seems very short. Gabralkhan has made some errors of judgement on here, and seems to get involved in conversations about contentious issues in the same way he/she did before being a mod. Am I out of order? I'm super suspicious, much in the same way that I'm super supsicious that the_avid has gone from arch-enemy to friend of Drugslist in a week. I don't doubt the_avid's skills, but his motives, although friendly now, could be used against us all. Although unlikely, he really may be LE. Use unique usernames, always PGP and only FE for vendors that can prove themselves to you. Play safe. p.s. Drugslist works well, I've used it. Follow the advice above and stay safe.

Well, you basically answered your own question. Khan was invited to mod because he's helpful and very active. It doesn't take much to be a mod here. Most of us are just security conscious users, enjoy the scene, and like to help others out. Being a mod of this place doesn't really give you access to anything you guys don't have as readers of this place. Khan hasn't abused his position as a mod so I see any reason for him not to be on the team. On the contrary he's been very helpful and is always thinking up ways to improve the sub. Plus he's in a different timezone than most of the other mods so that keeps this place on watch 24/7. And like I said, being a mod isn't that glorious. You don't get anything but upvotes for the time you put into this place and its not much more than removing referral links and invite codes so that the spam here is kept to a minimum.

Hi,

first to say I have no problem if my role and interventions are questioned, to be honest i like debates and i stand for what i say and do.

I have asked for excuses for things in the past here that were my fault (the Jabber comments with The_Avid for example) but not for a lot of things to be clear...

I stand for what i do and i have done, if you refer to the investigation i made on Profesorhouse you have to know that it was published before i was invited to mod the Sub,and anyway i tried to close properly this episode with an invite to "Profesorhouse" to answer to the accusations. Nothing could be done to go further in the investigation and find decisive and more consistent proofs.

I engaged myself with Profesorhouse considering the situation to not comment his answers to my investigation if he was doing a public declaration so i will keep my words on that.

If the question is more about DL and my point of view that i have given on it, and impartiality regarding DNMs, i always took great care to advise DNMs saying it was a personal point of view, and by the way i never advised DL exclusively and it wasn't even first on the list.

You will find also that i have advised BSM a lot, I do that not because i have interest in DL or BSM or take money from that, but because they have prooved themself reliable in the large numbers of DNMs that exists.

Some DNMs are not taking care of their customers and are not helping them to manage their problems, they don't advertise or maintain a presence here in Reddit even in its simplest form and don't interact with the community outside their forums, sometime acting in very shady manners to cover scam problems or collusion with Vendors.

To my point of view when users ask for advices and a point of view it is even a duty to help them and direct them with good references like any old and respected member of the community would do.

To finish with that you should understand that Reddit and this community is a whole small world by itself, with its rumors, dramas, news,....and that goes at near the speed of light...

A lot of people know how to use that and have effect on this small Reddit world using Shill accounts for example or using the rumors to achieve their own agenda.

Concerning my links and personal conversations with various admins, vendors, users, there is a lot of these conversations that happen as a Mod due to my presence and my disponibility...

fuck now i'm super paranoid about using DL in the future

You sound like a nutbag. Khan ain't fuzz.

Am I the only one who is feels like I'm reading something out of context? And, I got the feeling even if context was given to me, it wouldn't help it all?

Also, to be quit frank with you, it's none of your damn business who Astrid and the other mods choose to be a mod. If you don't care for that mod, ignore them. If it bothers you to the point you can't stand it, go somewhere else.

Considering the popularity of this subreddit and overall approval rate, the mods method of choosing new mods seems to work.

One last thing, this accusing people of being LE with out ANY proof at all is whiny little kid shit. It's people like you that start all this drama driving people away from this sub. Your lucky I'm not a mod. I ban your ass heart beat.

Go kill yourself.

Twice.

EDIT: I went to look through your post history and didn't get further than the first page. So not only do you troll but you even give false information on subjects you have no clue on. So, I want to amend my previous statement. Kill yourself thrice.
