So I am actually concerned with the future of Alphabay as well as concerned with getting any of my $733 from my dispute I have with a vendor on the site. The vendor and I have agreed to a mutual refund percentage, and the issue is that now our "mod" in control of the dispute seems to have taken a vacation of some sorts. It's been almost 10 days since he has even responded to anything in the enormously long dispute thread we created, and now we have come to an agreement on refund terms.
I'm posting here to see if anyone else has noticed a almost decline in any responses for their dispute. It almost seems as if, "the mods on the site are all under the control of a few select people, that use various different usernames on the site".
So I'm worried in an exit scam is on the horizon since I have noticed more dispute topics piling up on the forums and also have seen a decline in the number of moderator responses on the site.
I'm also paging /u/trappy_pandora to see if he can relay this message to the admin on site so that I can receive my refund at some point this year.

Alphabay is falling apart - first of all there are people like Penissmith who doesn't seem to do anything but ban people and take their money. He personally sent me a message about sending him a "genitalia photo" lol... Second, there is some litteral fucked up shit on there lol. Stuff like C4 guides and I even remember viewing nuclear supplies before. Third, yep you're completely right, they couldn't handle disputes if it meant life or death. Before I was banned (haha guess by who? 8==>smith), I had 3 pending disputes. One of which was 4 months ongoing. Other times its like the moderator assigned to the dispute flips a fucking coin on who wins. It's not even a debate lol they decide immediately. Sorry this is so messy its late and im kinda fucked up lmao
