Title: what do the parentheses next to the names of the vendors represent?
Post by: marcstheman on April 11, 2013, 03:34 am
i have been on the silk road quite a bit and have noticed that all the vendors have numbers in parentheses next to their names and i would like to know what these numbers say about the vendors. Please reply to this if you have the answer.

each feedback has a max of 5 points
the parenthesis indicates the venvdors' scores
If a new vendor has 10 feedback the max point is 50
but then he turned out to be a douche and only gets 20 points
20/50= .4 =40% and thus he will have a 40 in the parenthesis

oh, i see, thank you for helping me with that. One time, i ordered heroin, i finalized early, and this guy Frank Matthews sent me shit that was no good. I didn't use pgp at the time to send my address and so i was wondering if that might have an affect on the person not sending me the stuff i ordered. Do vendors ever treat customers poorly if they do not use pgp?

I don't think a vendor would treat you poorly, but many require using PGP. Its really for your protection, not the vendors, so please for the love of everything learn to use PGP. Its so easy, only adds 30 seconds on to buying stuff, and it covers your ass.

Also, never FE, just dont. Plenty of other vendors out there that dont require you to FE. Escrow is there for a reason, and no one can help you get your money back once you FE.

Wasn't just you, my man. He was sending out suspect "MDMA" a while back as well. Did you ever message him about it? You are well within your rights to do so, you know.
