What is with all the new accounts spreading fear and distrust. Is there some kind of operation going on here. It's becoming more and more prevalent everyday. I suspect LEO is trying to discredit vendors and discouraging buyers to make purchases. Is this because that's the only thing they can do and realize they can't touch us otherwise?
I for one am not falling for it and I hope no one does either, but I hate to say I see it taking an effect on this community.
Thought......?

My thoughts are this.
People need to grow some nuts and stop making ghost accounts.
It's annoying to see 30 threads started by trolls.
This one annoys me too, but it actually serves a purpose.

The worst part is they aren't spreading fear. The only thing they are spreading is frustration and anger.
My guess is we are probably dealing with a few pimply faced teenage wankers who are frustrated themselves because the closest they will ever come to having sex with a woman is by purchasing an inflatable latex doll with 'almost lifelike' action.
I suppose I shouldn't leave out the scammer's, buyers or sellers, trying desperately to get someone to believe them so they can possibly make a few BTC.
Until they come up with a better way of controlling the ability of users to create new member accounts on the forums there isn't much we can do about it other than to ignore the idiots and call out the scammers.
It really is frustrating when somebody with 2 posts to their name creates 10 new threads with the same title 'Because they want to make sure someone reads it'. Or the various douche bags who think they are so smart, setting up new accounts with some variation of the name 'LEO', telling us that SR is going down.
Maybe they should add a feature that if a members negative karma reaches 50 or 100 that their account automatically loses posting privileges for a least one day and is flagged for a mods attention.
If the number was high enough I don't believe they could do the same to us, since I doubt they could find 2 friends to help them, let alone 100. And make it so nobody with less than 50-75 posts can click on karma.
Just an idea I'm throwing out there. I'm sure lots of members will point out all the deficiency's of my plan, but that's OK, that's what these forums are supposed to be for. Members engaged in reasonable discussion, trying to help out where possible.
It's not supposed to be a place for every Moe, Larry and Curly to post their own personal conspiracy theory.
Time to stop before I become guilty of the same thing, wasting peoples time with

Solution: New account cannot create threads... only respond inside them until an appropriate amount of time has passed. Post counts can be artificially increased easily and are not a good indicator of forum-user validity.

Perhaps restrict certain posting privileges. One thread per day until you hit 30 days, or something.
Or give the community more moderation powers. While we have 5(?) members who have administrative powers like banning people, find a group of like 10 active posters and give them the power to delete posts and threads, or "silence" users for up to a day. The former to get rid of the shit and the latter to quiet the potential rage posts that follow.

I saw a picture today that said
War On Terror
"On" was crossed out with a big red X and underneath someone had written in "Is"
Was really eye opening for me and maybe it doesn't apply to SR or this thread directly but still a pretty profound thought imo. ;)

Call me paranoid (and I've said this in a previous rant before) but "Divide and Conquer" is a classic and very successful Pys-Op strategy. I can have no doubt whatsoever that LE have or are using sock-puppet accounts with the intention to divide, disrupt, and make inroads into the Silk Road community.
Thing is: while I disagree with LEO at least I can understand their fucked up motivations (ideology/paying the rent/small penis) which is far more than I can say re: the sudden influx trolls who I suspect are having a rather difficult time trying to get laid (?). Honestly..they are truly more annoying than pop-up ads or that "Who let the dogs out?" song a few years back.
Seriously: you wanna troll? Go to Youtube and get into some epic name calling with a stranger on the other side of the planet who thinks Lady Gaga is better than Madonna.
Recognize the sanctity of what we are doing here, and show some fokken respect.Drug fiends have it hard enough as it is: let us buy our Coke/H/Acid/DMT/Bud in peace and spare us all this DeGrassi High bull-shit.
Fuck... another all nighter.I better get to sleep before I die. :)

What is with all the new accounts spreading fear and distrust. Is there some kind of operation going on here.
I will give you the answer, it is what is commonly known as an "Inundation of Cunts".

Can you be more specific? What new accounts? What vendors are being attacked?
Call me crazy, but this thread is vague and seems to be doing exactly what is accuses others of.

Dude....where have ya been?

In my opinion I think its a little odd to assume all the trolls are more likely to be LEO than just annoying ass people taht get kicks out of stirring shit up. Cops aren't amazingly moral people that just want this site to go away, they want to bring it down and take names. They aren't fucking with us because they think its for our own good. They're gonna more likely act like us and try to get our information then take us out.
War on drugs is bullshit really.
So yea I agree its inundation of cunts as limetless said.
