Stop with the rampant sarcasm.

It's fucking annoying. Whenever people ask serious questions about ordering, security, LE, etc, and then they get a barrage of "OP, you're fucked. LE is coming for you! Burn your drugs, hard drive, house". This is supposed to be a supportive community that helps others out and makes them feel welcomed, not making them feel uneasy and scared shitless.

Sure, an occasional sarcastic comment doesn't matter, but it seems like a trend in this subreddit to be a sarcastic a-hole when someone asks a innocent question.

i would like to thank you for making this thread. without it i would not know how to respond to serious questions


[61 Points] None:

it's so bad that i am suspecting that this thread is satire


[44 Points] None:

This entire community has been sarcastic for a long time because we are fucking TIRED of directing people to dnmnoobs or explaining to people that they won't get CD'ed over 7 grams of weed because their mailman didn't come at the time they usually do, for the fucking 742nd time. It get's tiring. The community probably will not change because the community is not open to idiots and has a mentality of "If you can't utilize google for basic questions, you shouldn't be ordering drugs over the internet"

and I can't say I blame them for it.

Oh dear. I hope we didn't upset you.

Is there anything else we can do for you? Stop talking about darknet markets and drugs? Talk about fluffy kittens instead? Can I get you a pillow, your lordship?

We are SOOOO sorry that the tone of our posts doesn't meet your standards, Sir. And I always enjoy a lesson on how to use the Queen's English from a fucking yank. Trust me to run into the first one who "gets" sarcasm.

"Ooooh, look at me! I'm from Texas. Have as many guns as you like, but don't let the nasty man hurt my ears! I'm executing a 12 year old as an adult later, and i want to hear his screams as he twitches in old sparky"

I'm going over here now to type out "I must refrain from sarcasm because an American teenager on Reddit says so" a thousand times.

On my imaginary typewriter.

Wait,,,What's that noise? Did you hear that? Quick, it's the postman! And i think he wants you to sign for a letter!

Run for it, thr0w_4w4y_420! Run for your very life! Pump those crazy legs! Don't worry about me,.I'm in my 40s and i'd only slow you down. Save yourself!

Wow. look at him go. I once saw a giraffe being chased by an ostridge, and they didn't have legs as gangly as that.

I wish you hadn't posted from a throwaway. I was actually thinking about saying the same thing a few days ago but I realized I didn't have enough 'cred' with this account to have any influence.

I mean, some of the posts should be met with a simple, 'check the side bar' or, '/r/dnmnoobs' response, but the number of just unhelpful, asinine responses has started to bug me a bit too. Edit:words


[6 Points] wldcrd73:

Thank you, as a complete noob, I am scared to ask anything, lol.


[7 Points] evil_olive23:

I agree with you completely, OP. However I also don't think information should be spoon-fed. /r/DNMs wasn't around when I began using SR. I'm glad it wasn't; I worry about the people who post here expecting to be spoonfed. "Low-hanging fruit" is a common phrase, but I don't believe joking about any "noob's" freedom is funny.

Nudges in the right direction are more helpful than giving a step-by-step reply, and also more helpful than the sarcastic replies that are all too common here.

[3 Points] entactoBob:

Given that the alternative is a giant circle jerk, the sarcasm isn't so bad to deal with most of the time, but I agree that we could use a bit more positivity and understanding – there are so many young-minded, ignorant, and/or inexperienced ppl here it hurts my brain sometimes, but patience is key. We're all we've got, because our respective countries loathe us all, right down to the U.S. declaring "War" against its own citizens and locking up record numbers that far surpass any other countries incarceration rate by a long shot.

"In October 2013, the incarceration rate of the United States of America was the highest in the world, at 716 per 100,000 of the national population. While the United States represents about 4.4 percent of the world's population, it houses around 22 percent of the world's prisoners."

So when someone makes a stupid noob post why not just ignore it? You're not forced to make a comment.


[2 Points] lsd_related_name:

I think that when there is no need to be frightened people will respond sarcastically. When there is a need to be scared people will respond seriously. We all have a common goal on the darknet, which is to remain safe and sometimes when there's nothing to be worried about it's okay to have some fun. A simple answer might be better but in all honesty I think sarcastically or straightforward OP gets the same answer.


[0 Points] honestlyimeanreally:

Agreed, it's annoying.

Just downvote and move on boys, downvote and move on.

What's a trend is unrelated bullshit like this.

At least we're past the sand and Belize jokes. Holy shit they were annoying.

Burn your house down and move to belize.


[1 Points] None:

Although I agree you must see that some questions are purely stupid, I mean even I who am a fucking n00bie don't ask these questions like "Help I accidentally downloaded Tor, Where will the police most likely show up?"

But like I said, I agree it's been getting out of hand a little.


[1 Points] None:

The sarcasm comes from the fact that no one really "knows" when one is fucked or not. And that's where the (dark) humor stems from.

The alternative to sarcasm would just be a bunch of people saying with straight faces "you just asked "what are the chances of me getting caught if I ...." which is really stupid because no one can give you an actual percent probability for something with so many variables, please do not ask this question again" and it would just be that 10x in the thread.

If you want, we can just report the posts that are ridiculous questions so they can be removed before they even hit the DNM frontpage.


[1 Points] troubledteendwight:

It's the troubled teens I tell ya! Have you spent time browsing other popular subreddits off the front page? There's an entire young generation who've adopted sarcasm as their go to humor style. Why? Because it's shallow humor that you don't have to put much thought into. I blame social media for the rampant spread of it's use to the point where "/s" was born. The funniest people to me will always use a different style of humor and actually say funny things based off of say for example, observation. Now if you'll excuse me I have to get these shit eating teens off my lawn.


[1 Points] None:

What about.. "can u get this on a black market?? Link please."


[1 Points] PartyPplz:

far from supportive bud, read the posts, i.t.s. .really. not. The so called community in itself is full of jaded know-it-alls and noobs unfortunately.


[1 Points] agorathrow8080:

ITT: butt hurt kids that helicoter mom cant yell at, cause drugs And people that can fend for themselves and use a side bar. Yes even on the reddit app..its super easy to find.

Also, instant gratification freaks. Its not amazon sometimes you night wait two weeks. If you hate it. Get it from your dealer...oh wait you dont trust him, you dont know one...then fucking ait back order, dont fe and fucking wait. If your festival.is in 3 days, plan better. You wont succeed well in life if you are missing a basic function called planning


[0 Points] LedLevee:

It's sort of what you can expect when OP says "gaiz I ordered a key of coke from this shady FE vendor to my parents' house, am I fucked? P.S: I bought the coins with my dad's creditcard"


[0 Points] Stretches_the_truth:

OP, you're fucked
