Hi all,
I hope I'm not out of line,but I would just like some feedback on how you feel about 1st timer and newbee's starting new threads on looking for certain sites.

I'll go first. Recently in my opinion, there have been way too many 1st timers opening threads and asking about site and drugs before reading anything. They don't seem to bother to read anything or search. When i first registered I read through all the Rules and just about everything. You have so many days before you can even post and then gives you time to search. I also think this is a way to cut down on the Shills.

What to you all think. I think the there should be a limit on when you can start a thread, just like the limit for posting in the NROP sites. JMO
Taz

Newbees should not be able to start threads, IMO. Not even in the Who Offers it, How Much forum. Almost ANY information can be found on the board by doing a search and the posts are redundant. It would also keep scammers/spammers from flooding the place.

Thanks Cleo for replying. A agree with what you said. I've gotten on a few new threads and kindly explain that they need to read the Rules and do some reading on feedback from others.

Hey Cleo... We See Eye to Eye on this!!!
Admin ...What do you think? ...I think it would save you a lot of Time Deleting and Such! JMHO

Excellent Idea Taz

I am divided on this.

It is one thing to limit posting in one small section, but I am not sure if I feel the same about restricting the opening of new threads.

While on one hand it is good to search or find an open thread on a subject, would this also not increase the problem of people posting off-topic in existing threads?

What is the definition of a newbie? The official definition here of someone below a certain number of posts?
I am more inclined to factor in a combination of registration date/quality of posts, rather than a certain number of posts.

While the 200 thread post requirement in the blatantly illegal section was created to deal with a particular issue in a particular section, this is a different situation. You could have someone who has been a member for 4 or more years who would be unable to open a thread about something very valuable and relevant, and instead be forced to keep it to themselves or take another thread off-topic.

Lately we have had one person coming on and starting 20 threads right away.

It seems to happen on Friday or Saturday nights. About a week ago I counted 17 threads opened by one person and they were continuing. I pressed the Notify button but it went on for quite a while. I know admin is busy.

I am hoping these people get banned. It is obvious they are playing around and trying to disrupt this site.

Hi, Musician. I agree with you - having anyone just starting threads, disrupting the site - is NOT OK.

BUT, let us not be "elitist", ya know? There are plenty of folks who have much to offer who are new. I believe the "Notify" button is useful and sufficient. Too many Rules and you end up with a site that only works for "old timers".

We can all benefit from what new people have to say. Yes, the climate has changed (in more ways than one, lol)

Maybe a warning? Don't request a ban or anything, but just a "watch" thing? Would that work?

"you are beauty and elegance". Song is swimming thru my head.

Anyway, if someone is "over posting", than there are tools to deal with it. Right?

OK, I'm falling asleep again. Could it be that I stay up too late? And get up too early?

I could be naive - wouldn't be the first time. If someone could tell me why "Notify" wouldn't work, please tell me.

I guess miracles CAN happen About the 'Notify' situation ----- my feeling is that half of the reason for this change is to save mod/admin time from having to delete the damage done by all the clown disruptors that keep coming around. As for what constisutes a newbee, I think that should be Admin's domain to decide on that and I don't really have a good answer to the question that isn't completely arbitrary.

This is one example of it being abused:

http://www.drugbuyers.com/freeboard/ubbthreads.php/topics/923156/Nealoren#Post923156

Also, you get people who join thinking that they can ask where to get oxycodone without a script; clearly they have not read anything at all. When they are informed that it isn't available, they are never seen again. These are minor inconveniences compared with the above example, which are a real pain.

Perhaps there could be a standard link one could point the "Where can I get oxy?" people to?

Yes there may be some newbee's coming on asking about a place they have found, but the one's that are most happening is they are coming on starting threads like, "Where can I get this", Where can I get that", "Do you know where I can get **** fast".
Those are the threads that I worry about. It's a waste of space. It annoys me. I click on a site that say's "Need Help", then get in there and it is a first timer wanting to know where to get their drugs.

When I first came to this site, I didn't say much. I read thread after thread for knowledge. I have learned a great deal. I didn't need to open a thread. My first thread was a couple of days ago. About Ted Kennedy. Where posters can give there opinion or blow off steam. No matter, it still make you feel better after giving your 2 cents.

I'm sorry off topic. But what I'm saying is everybody can find a site they are looking for and get itn it. They can go back as far as they want, and ask about an old site. No biggie.

Taz

One problem with excluding "newbies" posting, starting threads etc. is not every "newbie" is really new. I use myself as Exhibit A. Joined db in 2006 and posted occasionally but due to technical issues was forced to reregister this year...hence I'm a "newbie", but I have found db to be an incredible source of information--not only general but specific to my situation when necessary and posting has allowed me to get a variety of informed answers.

Just a thought...

What about putting limits on the # of new threads a newbie can start? Example: Maybe 2 their first month of registered membership, then add to it, for say six months?

Newbies have limits on PM privileges (or do they anymore? I've been away for a couple of months, almost!), & personally I think their ability to start new threads should also be limited, for all the reasons already stated. But as others have pointed out, we might also risk not getting important information, feedback, etc. if newbies can't start new threads. + I'd be afraid of them responding inappropriately in other threads already opened.

You also might think about starting this thread in the "suggestions" thread/area, and or maybe starting a thread in the "polls" area too-

Great topic & I hope the Admin sees this & considers our ideas!

Welcome back Secondstar! Hope you have been well on your time away.

I honestly don't think there is a way to make the site "perfect". There will always be people who come on here and create a havoc, of sorts. We must deal.

For those of us who have experience, yes, "where can I get Oxy quick" is annoying (for me too), but it has to be assumed that these posters just don't know. Maybe they assume we'll just chime in and say "oh, go to this site or that". I don't know. They'll find out soon enough.

Anyway, please know that I am not condoning this behavior. Au contraire. I am just acknowledging that I don't know.

The prayers to the universe have been flooding. And if I have one more car repair bill (daughter) or medical bill, I just may scream in agony.

OT warning! Hey PRNRain - glad/good to see you again! Trust me, car repair bills & medical bills are something I can relate to right now! Won't go into specifics, but if you get a chance, check out my thread in the "family, friends, etc" thread. I'd Pm you, but I'm just relearning how to type, & it is just to exhausting to do to much of it right now.

Other than that, I sincerely hope everything else in your life is going as well as it can be!

Hey PRN -check your PM's, just sent you some personal info about my 'wonderful' summer, so far! Lucky me, I have my next round of injections this Tues., the 1st!

Yankeefan,
I'm not suggesting tht newbee's cannot post at all. I'm suggesting that they not start threads until admin can set a limit on when they can. Ok, so you have been around a while. Do you get right on and open a thread and ask "Where can you get this and that?", without bothering to look it up yourself? I bet you didn't. That is good if you didn't. These are the reason's we need to have some more limits on things. Have you looked lately and seen how someone with 1 post and is dated the same day, starting a thread sounding like a junkie needing a fix really bad. They don't bother to read anything. Look around the boards, you will be amazed.
I also was one of them that was under 200 post when they changed that rule. It didn't bother me, cause I read. I have over 200 post now and I still do not go to sites and ask questions that any of us can look up on our own.

Taz, I "hear" where you are coming from and I understand the frustration. It is just that, well, we are not in charge of monitoring the site.

I really believe that using the "Notify" button will get you to where you want to be. Use it liberally. Admin does not want his site to be used for illegitimate purposes.

I personally believe that is the best recourse. Have you tried this?

I was just posting for feedback on the suggestion. I know that we are not in charge of monitoring. I also know that the admin is busy. I figured posting a thread will be easier for admin to notice.

I have no problem w/newbies starting threads. They are here to learn and share like everyone else and may have a valid question.

Trust me, there are always posters on EVERY board that annoy other posters for a variety of reasons. Try to ignore. Only choice really, I have found out - kind of the hard way too I must say.

Spam is the only true violation, I think.

Taz, your input is most welcome. I, for one, understand where you are coming from. I just don't know how anyone can prevent the posters who use the site for nefarious purposes.

Having said that, I'm up for anything that would make the site "purer".

Please know that your consideration is taken seriously. I completely understand where you are coming from. I just don't know how one would separate the wheat from the chaff.

You hit that just right. "A valid question". I don't care of someone starts a thread with a ligit question about health problems. I'm sure PNWRain will love to chime in and help. It's the ones looking for drugs ASAP. Since they cant go and reply on the NROP side they open threads here. They just go around the Rules in a different way. Under a different catagory. That is all I'm saying. FOR NOW.

Taz, points all well taken. Do I irritate you? Gosh I would truly hate that. I suspect I can be irritating, lol. Never mean to be.

Yes, new persons whose sole purpose is to procure drugs - well, I don't like it either. Just don't know how to stop it. I'm up for a solution, though. Maybe just ignore it? It is usually pretty obvious. Not always, but usually.

Anyway, if I am being annoying, please tell me. I'll do my best to NOT be that way. Good Monday morning!

There is a wealth of information on here and sometimes it's hard to get to the information you need. I ask annoying (I'm guessing some people find them so) sometimes, but I don't always have the luxury of searching for hours. I've been around awhile though. I think limiting the number of new posts or making them post in current threads is best. Why so many newbies any way?

Well lately, there are a lot of scammers. They ruin it for everybody. They get on and post tons of threads during the night. For example look at last night. I couldn't find anything. I think I was following you. LOL

I'm not a scammer! Just an insomniac. LOL!

Tiades & Taz - I'm not an insomniac, but I crept into bed at about 8:00, got next to the living, breathing heater (otherwise known as my husband) and fell asleep. Didn't make the coffee, didn't turn the lights off. LOL. Now I'm up. Made the coffee, cleaned up the kitchen, turned off the lights.

I am always so cold. And it it's not like an external cold. I go to the grocery store and it's awful. Freeze. Yes, I lost alot of weight, but my weight is OK for my height. 5' 1" and 115 lbs. I was 157 lbs. Why am I so cold? I did not try to lose this weight, but here I am. It just melted off. My GF say "beatch". LOL. But in truth, it is worrisome. Have had CAT scans and the gamut and the cancer has not returned, but I still worry - cause I'm a worrier.

Sorry. I know this is OT. Just that I am concerned. I apologize.

Admin - please do not count this.

Another new title? I like the old one better. Just got in from the hospital. Yes it's 4am. I broke my knuckle of my 1st digit. Well, it's either an avulsion type break or a deformity from birth. What a start to the week! It can only get better!

Secondstar, that is a good idea. This is why I started this thread. For ideas. The mods and admin have their hands full already and don't need such things as people coming on the first day and first post, "Where can I get some Oxy's" for example. Isn't that why there is a waiting period before they can get on is for reading and getting to know the board and threads?
Good idea

Taz

RAIN, you pain in my butt? Yes. But I still love ya,

Taz

Tiades so sorry about your knuckle ouch! Hope you heal fast.

I notice that many times there are people who sign in just to make trouble. They will have a run on this site and open threads all over until they get caught.

We all need to watch out for that and ignore them and Notify. Last time they brought up old posts from banned members. I felt it was one of them getting even.

So we need to pay attention before we get drawn in. I learned a few months ago.

I hardly ever open a new thread.


I think I fear rejection.

I might be somewhat out of line, replying in this thread as I have only been a member for less than a month. But there are a couple of things I just feel compelled to mention, and please know that I mean absolutely no disrespect or offense or anything of the sort to anyone else.

At the time I ran across DB, I had been frantically searching the Internet for somewhere that I could purchase a particular med that I had been legally prescribed for years by my doctor (psychiatrist). A month prior to my frantic search, it never would have even crossed my mind to be looking for such a place online, and if asked, I would have vehemently swore that I would never consider doing such a thing. Espeically since after much trial & error, a medication had finally been settled upon that worked for me in my particular situation. Once it had been established what worked for me, even though I had changed doctors a few times since, there was never a question of changing what worked, and of course IMO, getting a script from my own Dr. would be the only way I would consider going about acquiring my medication. But, I was in for a nasty surprise when I moved 2000 miles away - back to the town where I had grown up. I no longer knew anyone here (except my Dad who has Alzheimer's), my old GP had passed away some time ago, I had not needed a psychiatrist back when I lived here before, and when I tried to find one, I was alarmed to find that of all of them, either they were not accepting new patients, or the ones who were, did not accept my insurance. Out of desperation, I finally made an appointment that I can't afford with the one who could get me in the soonest - that being near the end of November 2009. At which point the panic set in. I was at the end of my last refil, basically all alone, and knew from past experience that if I didn't find some way to stay on my medication long before the end of November, I would surely end up in a mental hospital, as well as lose my rights to my money as well as my life in general - it had happened before. Hence, my Internet search began in earnest. It only led to more frustration.. either the sites sounded "too good to be true", usually with no way to contact them for information without getting replies in the form of 'auto-replies" that were generic, never addressing my particular questions. Often they stated they were not pharmacies, but wanted a "membership fee" to get acdess to their pharmacies and refused to answer any basic quetions prior to purchasing a membership. With no extra funds to experiment with, I couldn't take a chance on those. The ones I came across - mainly in Google searches - that seemed to be genuine pharmacies that you could order products directly from them seemed to have a very limited selection - mainly Viagra and the like - not at all what I was needing. (I'm sorry, I know I tend to be too wordy in everything I write - I'll try to get to the point now).

When I ran across DB during on of those searches I had alrady about lost faith in, my mental state was not good. to put it nicely. But after glancing over the site, I did get the feeling that this was more than just a scam, of the few posts I read, I got the feeling that this was a different kind of environment, and a concept I'd nearly forgotten existed. People here seemed to be actually exchanging experiences and information.. and I sensed a feeling of genuine good will and caring that I had not found anywhere else - on or offline if quite a while. It took the last bit of .... whatever I could muster up to join this site, and put my last shred of hope in the hands of the people who were already members.

And yes, I started a new thread as soon as I had registered, detailing the problem I had encountered in trying to transision to a new doctor in a location that was once familiar to me, but had changed so much over the years and basically asked if anyone had any suggestions. At that point, I simply did not have it in me to be reading all the available information contained throughout the site. When I checked on my post the following day, I was both surprised and pleased that there had ben several resposes. And here, in particular, I sincerely hope that none of you who had very generously taken the time to address my concern will take this next sentence wrong, as I know that all comments were made with only the tbst oof intentions. However, unfortunately, I found no information to speak of contained in the replies that I thought I could use in order to solve my immediate problem.

But, what I did find, was an outpouring of understanding, caring, and what seemed like genuine concern for my well being. I suddenly felt less alone than I had prior to having made the post, and I was able from thete to draw on the strength that I felt from those who had replied and use it to explore the rest of the Site and discovered much of the information that was readily available on this site, learn how to use it in a constructive way, and espeically I learned about the value of reading through the various threads pertaining to what I was looking for myself. And in a few days, I was able to make a fairly educated decision as to what place I would place an order from - based of course on he feedback I was seeing from others. Of course, I made several more posts of my own along the way.. mostly wanting to clarify something or other.

Anyway, with many thanks and much gratitude to the wonderful people of DrugBuyers,com, as of yesterday, I sucessfully received an order of the exact medicine which I had so desperatley needed... and just in time! I am already feeling 100% like myself again now.

I guess the point to all of this is that when I made that first post, I was less than a "newbee", I was a mere "stranger". And I honestly can't say just where I might be today - physical location, mental state or both had I not been allowed to make that initial contact [post] that got me the support that turned out to be so necessary in my ability to keep on going until I accomplished what I needed to in order to carry on.

I will never be able to thank you enough, but I do hope that those who wish to prevent people from posting or starteing threads because they are new might think a little harder on that before making it a permanent restriction, as all peole are different, with different needs, and spammers will be spammers - be they new or old, and hopefully they will not ever have the power to prevent people with a legitamate need for help from being able to receive it.

On another note, even being as new as I still am, it did not take me long at all to notice, as well as be annoyed by certain posts that either contribue nothing to the converstaion and/or repeatedly omment in everythread the same irritating and obvious solicitations to email themn for a "list" of every medication available and they will ship it asap, or the ones interupting a discussion of a particular IOP (for examle) to plug whatever pharmacy they are there to represent... "Shills" I had not known that particular word before, but have been aware of the concept for a long time.

I hope my posts have not come acoss in any sort of off-putting ways such as that. I think my main annoying habit is the fact that I am way too wordy in everything I write. I've been working on this for years, but have yet to be able to correct it.

Well, anyway, I believe I've made my point in regards to this.....

If you have made it this far, I thank you for reading.

I'm happy that you received your Clonazepams that you ordered. Have you read this whole thread as to the reason why this thread was started?
It is people that come on here soon after they register and open a thread "Where can I get Oxy, hydro, ect..."
The easiest route is to do a search on what your looking for and find it. It's not that hard. Not trying to disrespectful to you and most people on here for similar issues with illnesses. The only way to stop this, is to put a limit on the new registered people coming right asking for their drugs to get a high.
Those are the ones that ruin it for everybody else. We get so many just like that. Don't even bother to do a lousy search.

Taz, while my post was really long, it was very heartfelt and I'm glad to see that someone (you) actually read it. And yes, I did read through the whole thread - at first, just out of curiosity - and I did understand exactly what it was that was bothering you and others in regards to the many posts similar to your example: 'Where can I get Oxy fast', etc.. And frankly, those type of posts irritate me as well. As a matter of fact, I have pushed the "Notify" button on a few of them myself, only to get back an auto-response that Admin has already been notified about that post. (At least I knew it wasn't just me...). Anyway, While I may be new to this particular forum, I have participated in various forums/discussion boards over the years, and it seems that regardless of the subject of the forum, the same types of annoying and unwanted posts will show up - varying in content only in an attempt to fit the general subject of the particular forum they are using to spread their spam and other nonsense. It also quickly becomes easy for regular participants to recognize them as such... I'm sure that seeing a registration date that is the same as the offending post makes it all the more obvious.

I did not take offense at all personally in anything I read in this thread, as like I say, I did understand the reason for it. It's just that I knew that I started a thread the same day as registering (with no intention of shilling, spamming, flaming or intentionally causing trouble in any other way), and that it had ultimately led me to a very positive result I'm not sure I would have been able to find had I not been allowed to make that initial contact with the caring people I did - given the frame of mind I was in at the time. My decision to make the post here that I did was mainly because while I can't speak for anyone else, it is my belief that my story is not unique, and that it's likely that more newly registered people than not have come here for the right reasons, and IMHO it seems more important to accomodate them than neglect them in the interest of punishing those who are here to cause trouble. I may be wrong, but I do feel that the troublemakers are in the minority - though it might not seem like it because they are the "squeaky wheels".

Again, I mean no disrespect to you or anyone else who has expressed similar opinions, and I neither have a better solution to offer, nor do I feel I'm in a position to be attempting to do so even if I did.

I only meant to offer a different point of view.

P.S. A bit OT, I know... but a few days ago, I took a peek in the "Sin Bin" and was somewhat shocked at how blatant some of those were... in particular, one who 'wanted to be a RX drug dealer' and was with the Mexican Mafia....... hmmmmmm.. good thing there is a speical place for those! lol

Why not allow for all of us to be equals? If there is a problem with a specific person - newbie or otherwise, ask the admins to deal with it. Most organizations or communities allow full benefits of membership when you become a member.

Employers usually have you on some sort of probationary period with newbies. Lasting a few months to a year. Most people don't get a new job and immediately get dental insurance.

I've been registered for almost a year, longer than some pooh-bah's. I'm still considered a "newbie" simply because I rarely post. I am by no means NEW to the board. I'm just a quiet lurker. I would hate to have even more privledges taken away ie, the 200 post rule, and now the this idea. Why should I be banned from starting new threads or posting just because I don't type a bunch of nonsense to get my post count higher. I think, like one poster said, other things besides post count should be considered before making new Rules. Even people who don't post a lot may have much to contribute. I get what you're all saying about people registering and posting questions the same day about drugs without researching. Yes it's annoying and people will continue to be annoying, but changing the Rules just to aleviate annoyance isn't fair, especially to people like me.

I don't know if there are enough people working on this site to monitor all sorts of different areas to monitor as far as newbies go. This is a discussion and information website.

Quite true, but this is hardly an employment-like situation. Probationary periods for employment purposesis to see if there is a "fit"and allows for an easy termination if the employee doesn't cut it. There is much less at stake here. This is a public community board on "the internets"...

I disagree. Persons who break Rules are not fit to be here. And I see an overwhelming number of blatant rule breaking going by newbies/strangers.

Swimer, You did just like your suppose to do. You read and found out where to go on you own. Post as much as you want if it's going to help somebody. Were all in this together on each site we go to.

This thread was in the past. It was just a suggestion on feedback on what to do with the ones I was talking about.

My next suggestion is when someone comes on asking "Where can I get Oxy's, hydro ect...". Ignore that thread and let them find out for themselves. One thing if you tell them where to go and it doesn't pan out, then you are blamed as a Shill for other sites. I know poster like you and some of them in this thread that come here and need real help I feel for. I'm not a bad person. You just don't know a newbie on first day until you start talking to them.

It would be nice to have some suggestions on how to handle these situations, like I just did. Any takers or anybody agree to my suggestion. It will not wok unless we all work together on this.

Taz

Who said anything about breaking the Rules? If you do, you can be banned regardless if you are a newbie or an old-timer.

True, but if your here long enough and go by the Rules, you will be here long enough to be a old-timer. Smart assses get banned also. Tiades has seen it happen and so have I.

Is there a problem with the Rules?

What irritates me far more than newbies looking for help or high,
are those 'Poobahs' that have become 'Poobahs' in a couple of
months. I've been around here lurking since '02, and a member
since '06, and haven't enough posts for full privilege. That
job you speak of with the probationary period before receiving
dental insurance.....Get one!

Most of us came to DB for help. Most of us were also a little
more subtle in our questions than others, but we all had to start somewhere on this board. Not all first timers are scammers. Be patient with them. Availability of relief is not nearly as easy to find as it once was. DB has been very good to me over the years. Info used to be more freely shared. Researching sites has become much more difficult. People keep their sources close to the vest. It's almost reached trial and error. Throw enough sh*t at the wall......and you may eventually get relief. Remember why this site began, and don't be so paranoid, just be careful.

jessecat,

One thing you have to remember. You have to post informational, helpful posts to get to be a Pooh-Bah. The funny stuff, gifs, jokes and meaningless posts are not counted. It takes a very knowledgable, helpful person to get to P/B staus in a few months. I hope I haven't offended you, that was not my intent.

Khilee

Here ye, here ye!!

Khilee I think the Rules have changed because I know a few people that became pooh bahs in a couple weeks.

I was making so many mistakes when I first got on here changing threads and I was doing such dumb things.

I think reading and looking around in time a person can find what they are looking for but it is much more difficult now.

This site is a free site and it costs plenty to run.

I have found that by posting and letting people get to know me that I found friends who showed me the way and
told me which sites I could trust and also which ones to avoid. So posting is a good thing. I was even helped with my computer skills which are sadly lacking.

musician7, that was a nice thing to read and I hope that in time I will be able to find the same. Thanks for the encouraging post...

I am sure that will happen. There are such nice members here.

Good Luck.

Not really. But I agree w/your other points.

I also came to this site for help. Since then I have contributed to many people and try to help them.

You act as if I made the Rules. If you have a problem with that, then you need to take it up with Admin, not me.

It's evident that you have not read my post. Before you judge someone, you need to know them. My post is an open book. I don't deserve to take this craap off of you or anybody else. Also I will not take it.

Taz

notamused, hope you are able to get the help you need here. Unfortunately, a lot of scams have been on this board, so members are a little more reserved than usual, especially after the RHA Act. So just post & let us get to know you & most members will respond to questions that are asked openly!!

Hi, NotAmused - hey I AM the word queen, so we already have a connection.

My fingers are out of sync here, so I won't be so wordy today. But I wanted to say - thank the heavens you got your meds. It should be not so difficult to obtain the meds you need.

I welcome you. And hope you continue to contribute. And don't worry about post counts. Although there was high fives all around in my family for becoming a Pooh Bah. LOL.

Try high fives across DBF.
Just ask Tazlover.
PNW was so helpful to me in my time of need.
Thx poppy!

Wow! I love you guys! Even though that part of musician7's post that I had quoted wasn't even meant for me, I was just somehow touched by it and spontaneously responded. Now I'm glad I did... although my sincere appologies to you TAZ, as it seems I inadvertently hijacked your thread and it appears to have gone way off topic. I am truly sorrry for that. But, I must say that I was totally surprised - but very pleasantly so, to have just come back here to find that my OT comment seemed to have gotten some unexpectedly warm and friendly responses! Secondstar and PNWRain, thanks for your support and caring that I did in fact get the meds I'd ordered. They were indeed a life-saver for me! But you are right PNW in that it that it never should have been such an ordeal to have gone through all that just to get a medication that I have been legally prescribed for years.... especially when I had a scheduled appointment with a doc in my current location.. it just was not to be until the end of November. Just as you and so many of the others I've seen on here who obviously also have legitimate reasons for being here.... or well, I use the word "legitimate" in this case loosly only in that it's just not right that the drug laws are so ... nit-pickey (for lack of a better word at the moment) that those who have medical histories that indicate a clear need for certain meds even have to be put in the position of having to obtain what we are medically and legally entitled to in such a way! (and yes, I'm new but it is not so hard to notice the difference between people like you guys and those who are just looking to get high rather than seeking relief from a medical condition, or are here to promote other sites for their own selfish reasons... and the ones who just seem to post stuff for the sole purpose of being annoying )

I'm not sure if that all came out quite right, but I hope you know what I was trying to say.... and I would like very much to continue to post here, whether or not I will be in need of placing any more orders for myself. I don't know what has gotten into so many people, but in all honesty, I have not found many people lately - either on or off line in quite a while prior to having found this board who even have a single pleasant thing to say what so ever! So, your kind words mean a whole lot to me. and as long as you can put up with my often long and rambling posts, I have no intention of losing contact now with those of you who seem to be a rare people now a days, and have taken the time to show me your kindness and compassion, even amongst all the scamming/spamming, etc... going on all around. And espeically for having given me the benefit of the doubt. I can't tell you how heartwarming this is!

I'd better return this thread to TAZ now though, if possible - before I end up ruining a good thing!
Love and Light to All!

notamused, I have no problem with this at all. I also sorry about the way I got about the thread title. It is not meant for people like you. You know the ones I'm talking about by now. I enjoy reading your post.

Now that you got the hang of things and got your meds, which is the most important, you can relax and make many friends on this site.

We are all in the same boat here otherwise, we wouldn't be here, right?

Enjoy the site. It is addicting. LOL

Taz

Great Post notamused....You have made me realize how Important it is for New People to be able to post Immediately with no restrictions....I thank you for that. I guess we will just have to put up with the others that are just looking for a Quick High. If the Board helps just one Person ....Like it did for you.... then it is worth putting up with the Trolls/Scammer's/Spammers!
Peace
Stevo

I agree Steve, If I see a thread opened for the ones t get high, I decided just to ignore it and move on.

Awwwwww.... you guys are too much! (I'm beginning to get embarassed... 4real, but meant in a good way).

Taz, I will have to follow YOUR advice regarding ignoring some of the .. well... idiots. While it's not really in my nature to be rude or start trouble, I do have to admit that in last week or so, there have been a few times I went to a particular thread to either look for info or post something pertaining to that thread, only to see some totally irrelevant bit of spam stuck in there, At first I did ignore it, but on several of those, I quickly noticed that the person(s) had been going through all the forums, leaving a copy/paste of the same thing in each. Then I would get irritated and wind up leaving a sarcastic remark of my own under several of theirs... until they started to be deleted. So, then of course I would feel like a total idiot myself, realizing that the Mod or Admin who was doing the deleting also saw my childish remarks. But the next time I saw someone else doing the same thing, I'd find myself reacting to them the same way anyway! Why? I don't know, but there's nothing good about that kind of embarassment! I fully intend from here on out to follow your lead there Taz and ignore, ignore ignore! (Maybe Notify if someone hasn't beaten me to it.. lol)

Oh, and this board certainly is addicting! I hadn't really given it a whole lot of thought, but I suppose I had figured that once I had found what I needed and felt better, I would probably lose interest.. but, the opposite seems to have happened. The majority of my posts have been made after I received my meds!

As a matter of fact, yesterday morning, I got a call from the Doctor's office whth whom I had made the earliest appointment I could get - which was to be at the end of November, saying that there was a cancellation and they could get me in that day if I could come right away. Which I did, had a good visit and when I left the office (with script in hand for Klonopin), the first thing I thought about was that I couldn't wait to come home and tell you guys about it! (But I didn't get around to it partly because I wound up having to take care of some other things and also, I had no idea which thread I should post it in!)

I still don't, and am fairly sure this one is not it... but since I seem to already have de-railed it... and hoping Admin doens't get too mad, there isn't a whole lot to tell, so I'll just make it very brief and get it out of my system if it's O.K.

It's always nervewracking to go to a brand new, unknown doctor in the first place. But this guy was very nice. I ended up telling him about how I'd ordered clonazepam online from India, and he just kinda took that in stride (odd, for a doctor, IMO). He said he was surprised that it worked, as he had always assumed that they were all scams, but said he was glad that I had been able to find a way to take care of what I needed to take care of. Then, he asked if I was worried about having Feds showing up on my doorstep. I said, not really and he quite seriously said that they probably wouldn't, but just in case not to hesitiate to contact him and he would personally take responsibility for the fact that I did have an appointment and it was the fault of his office that I was not able to be seen in a timely manner. I think it's highly unlikely that any of this would actually ever even come up... but still, it was a very nice gesture and totally out of charactor for a doctor... (I think). Seems that they would in general look down on this sort of thing. Anyway, that was all. Just had wanted to share that bit for anyone who happened to want to read it. Also to say that just because I was finally able to get a regular script, I"m no less grateful for the help I received here, as I honestly don't know what would have happened between when I received the meds and when I saw the doc 13 days later. I'm convinced that my successful order saved me from slipping back into the horrible place that was looming closer and closer.

Admin... I do realize that this has been totally off topic, and am aware that I should not have let it happen. At this point though, I can only hope you will believe me that I have NO intention of making a habit of doing this. Promise!

Thanks again, my Friends!
