Title: nationality discrimination on sr
Post by: k5053 on April 19, 2012, 09:04 am
hi...
some days ago i had a discussion with a trusted seller, that told me he didn't want to sell me because of my nationality.
i asked him if it was because of my nation's drug policy o something like that.. and he just told me "i don't trust people from "your nationality"... in my experience i understood i can't trust... and so on.

ok, i understand that everyone is free to do what he wants... but c'mon still this shit of nationalism also on SR!!!

i think, cause of vendor's profiles, that many of them make similar discriminations in their busines...

does somebody think this is a SHIT.. ? can "we" do something against this?

thank u.

Can't say I blame the vendor, I don't trust cunts from Mars either!

sorry but.. no! ;)
expecially you, "Social engineer"... :P i don't trust in a such name... ;)

for my privacy and also because it isn't necessary to the discussion.. you only need to know that my one isn't a SUSPECT country, and has a good (for silkroaders) postal service..

and the problem weren't my statystics as customer o things like that.. but just my nationality.

Romania? Poland? Russia?
I'm a bit of online poker player and poker rooms sometimes doesn't allow players from certain countries just because high percentage of them are scammers and cheaters. Of course that ain't right, but I understand vendor too.
Hopefully you'll find a vendor without any prejudices and won't scare him away from sending to your country in the future.

Russian/ Eastern Block countries are very well known for sophisticated online scams.

So if that's you, can't blame the vendor.  It's a numbers thing, if he doesn't need the sale desperately why take the risk.

Just don't take it personally. It's a business thing.

You honestly can't blame a drug dealer for discriminating, no matter how professional it is here. I mean...come on, we're dealing with illegal goods here aren't we? ???

yes we are.. but who care? it's easy to understand that prejudices are "stupid".. expecially in this kind of businness!
who care who am i from? if i give u the money (and silk road gives u some garancies about this, that realy don't depend from your nationality ((esgrow, 4 example))) and i'm a "good customer" in the comunity.... really..... who cares where am i fuckinngngngngng from?

sellers are here for selling, and buyers fro buyng. then there are scammers and other shit but... if u know that i'm not a scammer... and u are a seller and i'm a buyer? BINGO ;) but unfortunaly it's not like this.

this because some sellers and buyers are too attached to their stupid life and they take their ignorance and frustration with them in "the business".
(this is alswo why MAYBE ;) scammers exists).

If it's something like Nigerian, sorry but I wouldn't want to play ball either.
In real life I don't care where someone is from but online you'd need to be ignorant, naive or outright insane to not develop biases for things like this.
Drugs in general = full of scammers
SR = full of scammers
Internet = full of scammers
Nigeria = full of scammers

There's a fine line between blind trust and measured risk. If you have buyer stats that speak for themselves I'd overlook being from somewhere otherwise suspicious. If you only have a handful of transactions, or a high refund/auto-finalise rate etc... yeah..

nigeria (niggaz sending mail asking help for money transfer and other such ridicolous things), russia (hacker stereorotyp provenience, linked from a past true) and so on are old school! (i refer to scams in general)... i think that in 2012 scammers could be from EVERYWHERe! so also if i was from there (it isn't), it would be a problem of prejudice.

or not?

Christ! While it could be nationally/ racially motivated I doubt it. I think this righteous indignation is merely being blown up in giving something to go on about. Online, even more than the real world, if you are selling drugs discretion and indiscretion is the difference between easy money and 5-1- in prison. Could have had a bad experience with selling to that country and swore to "never mail another stamp bag to Albania" or something like that.

right.. i think YOU undestood the situation...
but i think that "bad experience with selling to that country ", can't compromise making business with a whole nation. this is stupid. instinctive, retro' and so on...

N.B :-X
at least "nationalism" is not the right word...  otherwise i talked about a

problem of prejudice
... and with prejudice i don't mean racism.. i mean to be anchored to (pre) past (maybe right) "judices", also if NOW they don't works  :P 8)

I am sorry but I find it kinda weird that you cant name what country you are from because of your privacy.  Its not like you are giving out your town or steetname. Unless your country is an island you founded and fought for sovereign independence for and is named after you personally, and only has a couple inhabitants I would venture to guess that you are none the safer for not disclosing it.  Just sayin.  Kinda takes the point right out of this thread since we really do not know what we are talking about, it is all kinda hypothetical not to mention boring.

Maybe he lives in Palestine and the seller lives in Israel.

Agree, very boring if we do not know what country we are talking about.

I live in fucking Brazil, and nobody has refused to send me anything because of that.
Even after several successful orders, I still PM the vendors sheepishly inquiring if my country of residence is blacklisted, because I assume it will be until proven otherwise. That's how shitty Brazil is... and yet, I've made several successful purchases from here.

OP, the only things I can think of are that you either live in a war-torn African nation like Somalia or there's some nationality feud between you and that specific vendor (like Ireland/UK or Israel/Afghanistan or France/anybody). Tough luck.

sorry mate, but you everybody are still wrong: stop asking and thinking this: YOU R WRONG. the problem is just stupid prejudices like i said. but for now, it doesn't seems to be a problem (if nobody thinks something like me).. so maybe it isn't a widespread.

Post by: Spedly on April 19, 2012, 11:31 pm
Maybe it was a misunderstanding?

For example, if I was a vendor I may not sell to someone who lives in China. But that doesn't mean I wouldn't sell something to someone who's Chinese.

Meh, there's lots of drugs on the Road. Ta hell with that vendor and just order from someone else. :)

Sorry did my eyes deceive me???

Wartorn to include France/anybody???

To quote someone into cars (with a little of my own added for the yanks who don't know him): All the French can be described in one sentence...'Cheese eating, yellow bellied surrender monkeys!'

If your implication is that I said France is a wartorn country, then you're wrong. But honestly, I have no idea what this sentence was supposed to mean.
