Title: Legal section
Post by: Vincent on December 01, 2011, 04:22 am
Just a thought but I was thinking that perhaps there could be 2 different sections set up on SR. One for legal stuff like radios, book and all, then another for illegal stuff.
Perhaps separate the accounts, one for illegal vendoring and one for legal stuff.

It may entice more people to come by and start using SR and it could remove some of the bad publicity.

Just an idea I thought of as this is mainly what I came to SR for.

I also think that SR has the potential to facilitate transactions outside of the illegal market.  I'm just not sure he's willing to put in the extra effort it would take to make it happen. 

There is a lot that goes on behind the scenes of this place to keep it safe, all that work isn't really needed for legal goods, but it might be worth a shot.

The real issue is the bandwidth that would use. It's just not worth having it all run through tor for (just imagine how flaky the site would be!)

When I saw legal section I thought you guys meant legal advice section similar to NORML. It could be in the SR wiki and have laws pertaining to various drugs in various regions of the world. Maybe even an advice section on what-to-do-if ____?

This isn't really an SR feature but could be awesome for those of us who are not the most knowledgeable in the field of law.

+1 to this idea, but -1 to the idea of dividing "legal" from "illegal"

a. .market :
don't think that's going to work or be popular, I' not sure if SR admins have much of an interest in...nor whether its worth the trouble of someone connecting to an anonymous site with the palava of firewalls, encryption, Tor etc just to buy legal items, i don't know how that can be sold to the general public bear in mind they are thick / one-click / check me email / messenger / youtube...etc
also the unnecessary attention which could lead to stupid comments by idiots who shouldn''t have been the dark alley where drug dealers are to be found.

b. split user grouped legal & illegal:
the user profile could achieve that by changing their "view" thru custom views if that functionality is available, that way there are no split groups of users..
