Been lurking around for a long while, decided to finally register a mere tic before the new noob policy was rolled out.. serves me right for procrastinating I guess..
Farewell northsouth.. go forth unto the heartlands and join your fore bearers!

I never knew the joke   "why did the chicken cross the road"   and it's answer   "to get to the other side"   was....

 ACTUALLY a deep and meaningful reply suggesting the chicken was hoping to get killed while crossing the road to get to the "other side"   you know chicken roadkill heaven or the like  :D

I understand where your coming from, before I only posted when I had something to contribute like reviews or help.
But above all I didn't want to come off as a dumbass

This all escalated quickly

on another note...LOL i wonder what those people who were so dead set on "knowing"they were going to die before christmas 2012  are saying now....and i wonder what they said/looked like when it didn't actually go down.


It is a bummer to believe your whole life something and then get spit in your face and find out its the absoulte false speech.  Kinda like teaching your kids about DRUHGS (a lot of emphasis required)

This 50 post thing is a waste of bandwidth and time! Making 50 posts doesn't prove anything that making 10 posts wouldn't!

I'm not a newbie -- I just don't see the point in making worthless posts. I only post when I have something that I feel is worth saying.

Interestingly enough I've spent several thousand on SR and have over twenty transactions. I've also been lurking on these forums for over six months.

i understand your point 300%, but in this case, inorder to make your something even worth something, you have to bite the bullet and give 50 posts. till then, you can only mark things unread and read......which is super lame and i freaked out and closed all these tabs that i was very interested in only to be let in on the secret taht 50 is the new cool kids number

The most annoying part is that I'm unable to respond to threads I started. To make matters worse, in one of the threads I started someone misinterpreted something I said as being an insult. Ordinarily I would post a response and let them know it wasn't intended to be an insult but now I can't. Honestly, in the very least I feel newbies should have access to the "Drug Safety" and  "Rumor Mill" forums.

I am not a fan of this,  I spend hours looking over old threads.  Literally, I have no life, and I have spent hours!  Now I am at the kids table at thanksgiving :(,     Oh well, I guess I will be more chatty and get out of here sooner or later.

Been around since July, just kinda quiet. So they'd rather us post a bunch of bs just to get 50 posts out of the way? Fine.

I wish I had posted some more bullshit before, then I wouldn't have to do it all now.

Of course I am a newbie, just found that forum (at least) half a year ago.

I'd never create a throwaway.

ive spent almost 300 btc in a few months and like to leave fb here on the forum for benefit of other customers. Today I find myself unable to do this.

I see the spamming still continues so what exactly is the purpose behind this new post limit?

IMO its here to protetct vendors, some unfortunately not all honest,  and DPR's bank balance.
Title: Re: Are you really a newbie?
Post by: krugperd on January 17, 2013, 02:14 pm
discovered sr over a year ago and would longingly browse through it every now and then. ~7 months ago I got serious and made a new account and started to implement the knowledge and set-up required to calm my PARANOID mind enough to safely make a purchase.
Made my first purchase of a legal product ~1 month ago successfully as a trial run, now things are starting to fall into place to hopefully allow me to buy some very interesting chemicals I've been wanting for a very long time.

Post by: Thurius on January 17, 2013, 02:29 pm
I've been on the road for over a year but have been somewhat inactive here on the forums mostly reading reviews.
I'd not consider myself a newbie however, so this anti-spam measure felt really hurtful when I've been on the forums for over 9 months.
Anyway, soon 50 posts so I'm not complaining for much longer.

What is this and what am i doing here ? I am not a noob !

I forgot my password had to make a new acount, onfurtunately yesterday i Made ONE careless and possibly rude comment in the open forum while i was on speed ,  Today i got my weed and am back to my normal sober and polite and went to smooth things over in case someone was insulted. But i can no longer reply !

how does this work ? can you register and make one post and then automaticly get sent to whatever limbo thiz newbiezone is ? Or was someone insulted by my post yesterday and this is a punishment ? If it is, point taken how do i get out ? i need to leave reviews this is some good product i got and the seller deserves praise. Am i here a set time or how does this thing work ?

This was the only tread here that made sence there where only 2 treads one about pgp and then endless identical spam treads, i am seriously confused here why is there no FAQ informing me about what type of coold and confusing twilight zone i have ended up in here ???? I feel like frans kafka suddenly will apear as the moderator i am scared (well not really ;-))

You guys DO realize that other people can see when you registered the account, right?  that basically means that this thread is pointless except for the purposes of identifying secondary accounts.. :/

Title: Re: Are you really a newbie?
Post by: weirdal on January 17, 2013, 04:11 pm
cool cool, just so you guys are aware.

Over the years on the forums people REALLY disclose a LOT more information than they should about themselves on the forum.  I don't think they often realize how much or to what extent either.  I just figured I'd make sure you were aware.

Carry on. :)

....48....

Flour, a few eggs, milk.. Who knows. Most people here may be new to SR and the forums but they are probably not new to buying the stuff that is sold. Which means that they could still post some really usefull info, for example in the forums about drug use. *sigh*

I'm not a newbie, but I am still relatively new. I didn't use the forum much, mostly to post reviews of vendors I've used and answered questions where I truly had something to offer to someone. I would rather not use it to this extent, but if I have to, to help other people and leave reviews, I'm going to. That's what this forum was made for and it works...when the people who need to post CAN post.

I created my SR account in September 2012 and my SR forum account in August 2012. With the exception of a few vendor reviews, I rarely post. It's pretty disappointing that I am forced into the "Newbie discussion" just so I can give my vendors the reviews they deserve.

I find myself in the same situation, I was writing reviews 6 months ago. Now I'm a "newbie." Kind of disheartening.
