stevo1 GRAND Pooh-Bah Registered: 08/08/06 Posts: 2750 Loc: Top of The World!	Inevitably you will always have people who will post their experiences..... and those who will lurk and Not Post!....I really Don't think that the Pooh-Bah's have a better handle on the Best Places to go with .....More like the Ones that Read A Lot and do their research are the ones in the Know. The Pooh-bah's might be a Little more savvy to the Scamers/ Shills from experience!....but that's about it. There isn't some underground special place for the senor members to go to....to get the info...It's all about experience/ Info and Reading. JMHO By the way I have Never used these services(IOP's & BI Sites) I would rather go to the Streets If I had to! But thats just Me.

crab Journeyman Registered: 12/23/07 Posts: 71	I know I am no where near 200 posts, I am not a Shill, and I share when I do have some information that I feel someone may need. So I guess I will not be able join your posting club and stay on the island. Although I do have to say it gets a little scary around here when someone is called out as a Shill and their posts are scrutinized word for word. (oh great I think I just spelled something wrong) Alot of times I think it scares people off from posting their experience or input when it happens.

This will happen SOLELY because they choose not to post much, for whatever reason. Edited by oic181b4u (07/02/09 08:45 AM)

dixiechick Old Hand Registered: 11/29/02 Posts: 420 Loc: Deep South	You need to spend some more time on this board before you start making assumptions on what old timers do and dont post. FOr someone who has only been here for two days, you are very wound up about this. As admin and another poster said, you will be able to read what everyone posts, just not post.

kdc Stranger Registered: 03/04/07 Posts: 13	my input- I am one of those who read daily to keep updated, have experienced most of the good and bad things here, and will only post if I see what I would have said has not been said. So I probably have a handful of posts, and been a member for a number of years. So- I would think lowering the qualifying number of posts or perhaps adding the qualification of the number of years membership/combo number of posts- might let some of us shy - wait and see types to still offer valid input

Administrator Administrator GRAND Pooh-Bah Registered: 11/18/01 Posts: 6596 Loc: DrugBuyers.Com	Originally Posted By: snownet under the section expected to be scammed it has a header stated Enter at your own risk... (200 posts required to post)" That to me only increases the odds of getting scammed, which is a direct result of controlling the free flow of information which means there is a control over what is being reported on these ops, especially since there are a consideraable fewer number of members with that much experience that would be involved in that many new, somtimes shady ops. Anytime you reduce and control the flow of info you decrease the value of the evaluation. MO ps that has been demonstrated by governments throghout history. why would this be done. I could see taking it over to the VIP section, but stiffiling informationnis about the worst thing that could be done to the freeboard members, skewing infornation on selected iops. Originally Posted By: youshoiz I can see the part about the scammers but they could simply put their place in a thread someplace else. It would make it harder but 200. I think thats a bit much to foil a scammer as opposed to inform users about who is receiving or not. Example. DOC sent, in theory a pkg. and don't pay till I receive. I would like to know if others are receiving. How many 200 post members are really going to send this guy money? The prices are crazy low!. Now, even though he sent for free I'll not be able to update the others that are actually involved. Oh well. Whatever. I can see why it bothers the "two" of you. You are one person with two accounts 1. snownet with 30 + posts 2. youshoiz with 160 + posts and it looks like you also posted as tyler5 that has already been deleted for harrassing WholesalePharmacy People like you that spend a lot of time trying to fool us all with multiple ID's are the reason for this kind of measures... Both remaining accounts are under 200 posts put together you would already be there... once you provide an explanation and I ban your two accounts you will have to start from 0 again... _________________________ >>> I welcome all PM's but please do not contact me by PM for lost or forgotten usernames or passwords.

snownet Banned. Multiple ID shill. Same as youshoiz Newbie Registered: 04/15/09 Posts: 35	As you wish but show me clarkey00 and admin where I have shilled for anybody, more like pointed out the deficiencies. Show me 1 thing that was not the truth. If you disagree, does not make it not true. nobody pays me to post anything. Show me a post that someone wold pay for, that is not true. of course that is not relevant since you have closed yor mind. I use a proxy and different screen names for security, and as it turns out that was the right thing to do. Safety first as they say. So do what you need to do. I still think this is a bad idea about reducing freedom to post on relevant topics, but I am sure you guys know best. ps why do people agree with an authority figure with doing due research to find out if there is factual matter to warrant any action?

crab Journeyman Registered: 12/23/07 Posts: 71	Well enough said.... So do we need to join as a VIP to be able to comment on our experiences? or is this going to be a 200 minimum as well? or I guess everyone will turn to PM in order to help people out on the site. Please... everything going on above is why I shy away from posting.

crazywacat Journeyman Registered: 06/23/09 Posts: 74	Well, I just realized that this new rule is going to make the scam websites ALOT OF MONEY!!! I have talked with 4 different people, through private message, and we all realized we were scammed by the same person, but since none of us has over 200 posts, we cannot warn others about it. And now, new visitors to the site will see these scam websites, see that there are no negative posts about them, and they will give them their money. I know it is 'Buyer Beware', but this is just plain wrong. This is so frustrating. I bet the people that run this scam website are celebrating the new 200 post rule. It is going to make them a whole lot richer!!! It almost makes me wonder why this rule was REALLY put into place. Hmmmmm......:(

crazywacat Journeyman Registered: 06/23/09 Posts: 74	True, but people with over 200 posts have been around awhile, and have enough sense and judgement NOT to order from questionable outfits. The newbies have to learn the hard way. And now there will be ALOT of newbies learning the hard way, that's all I'm saying.

roze_a_LEE_ta Enthusiast Registered: 06/10/05 Posts: 210 Loc: midwest	crazycat why OH WHY didn't you tell me I had this good sense and judgement before I threw $500 into the wind known as "yourxneeds.net"? Maybe I could have tried to stop me!! Yeah-RIGHT!! Really, I think that when you want a package delivered badly enough - the sense and judgement goes right into the wind along with the $$$$!! Darn wind anyway. Glad I don't live in Chicago. On a different note: has everybody noticed there is just above 0 posts on the BI forum since the 200post rule? Admin-please PLEASE do not be offended- but you say "don't let me be a thread killer"; That is nearly a killed forum now, I think. I don't have any real big problem with that - except it's sorta boring around there now.

Ferkelchen Member Registered: 04/06/08 Posts: 111	As a lowly journeywoman and infrequent poster, I'm bummed by the new 200 post requirement. Are there other threads about BI that one w/o 200 posts could ask questions? I understand the reason for the new policy; however, it's not just newbies that Shill...funbag had how many posts (?) and was a member for years...There have been others too, I believe. Oh well, it's admin's ball and he gets to set the Rules of the game, but sitting on the sidelines sucks. _________________________ “The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way it's animals are treated.”
