Reminder: Rule 4. No Sourcing. Also my own ban stats lately.

The influx of sourcing posts as of late has been astounding. This is not a rule that we put in place, this also includes Rule 5, no direct deals. It is mandated by the admins in order for us too keep this sub open. We have seen what happens when this isn't enforced with /r/DNMUK, /r/Dream_Market, /r/darknetmarketsOZ & others before them.

It also appears that many users are deliberately breaking the rule to suit their own needs & forgoing why these rules are in place. This is not going to be tolerated. It's one thing to passively break a rule but to deliberately break it to suit yourself is ignorance beyond my own understanding and I don't care to chase around these users handing out light bans only for them to continue their actions after it expires. If you know the rules of this sub & continue to break them I don't know how I can let you continue here, it's unnecessary, selfish & childish.

The rule. https://www.reddit.com/r/darknetmarkets/wiki/index/rules#wiki_4._no_general_sourcing_submissions

In laymen terms. If you've already found the source you can talk about it. If you have no source you cannot ask for one.

For the love of fucking christ, don't source.

Personal ban stats from the last 4 days.

I don't get off on doing this stuff, it makes this shit harder and lessens the amount of time I have to actually browse the sub & enjoy it. This also isn't a threat and serves to show how ludicrous this has become. Wtf you guys.

Edit:

I think the DEA is sourcing here in hopes Reddit shuts us down. VICE is right there with them. I noticed the blatant increases sourcing and thought it was my imagination. It is not.

That is not acceptable to this old man. Your freedom is important.

Stay safe!

i'd say permaban them all but im no mod, keep up the good work though it would suck to lose this sub over a couple tardbars or fiends that cant do their own research


[9 Points] Nexux720:

Can you ask for a recommendation between 2 vendors? Such as "looking at vendor-x and vendor-y. Which would you guys recommend?"


[9 Points] savingfluffybunnies:

/u/basjin I don't know if you got a notification but I removed your ban a day or two ago because I think you were right in your reasoning and I was wrong, then I felt bad.

Fuck dude we gotta create our own private secure place to talk bout darkdrugstuff, 'else we'll be a couple a pipin' hot craw dads on robot judgement day


[4 Points] ciphersexual:

Can I get a refresher on how best to report sourcing buried in a thread's comments?

The report button on sourcing posts is clear. But frequently some rando sources in a comment deep in a thread.


[2 Points] SynisterSylar:

You're referring to the "where can I find this vendor" posts? Or is sourcing asking for specific drugs?


[2 Points] TattooedMac:

Was sourcing the reason r/darknetmarketOZ was shut down??


[2 Points] infr4r3d:

This is everyone’s duty to downvote and report accounts that are sourcing.


[2 Points] BlueSkyKings:

You need TheEconomist1's fireman hat. It has magical keep people in line properties.

Man I miss that hat.


[2 Points] DrugrixhPablo:

Thank you for what you do, to all the mods of the sub. Keeping this regulated is very important for us all.

Please keep doing whatever you all are doing!!! I think people only begin to realize how important you mods are when a massive amount of sub reddits are being banned.

RESPECT TO ALL!!

I do not get this shit,. you have to enable javascript to register/post here,. Its clearly filled with authorized trolls from the federales,. Why do you not open a onion forum so people here would learn safely about being safe instead of being so strict with the superlist you should be more strict in opsec used here since most people here seem to be clueless about the dangers they are submitting theirselfs to. I am not trying to be a bitch rather trying to understand the logic why this community still hasnt moved to a safer place.


[1 Points] DNM_Reviews_R_Us:

ah shit. i need to read rules again myself. thanks for the reminder


[1 Points] adishivayogi:

i say let this sub get shutdown. it just fud and big platform for people to publicly rat on themselves


[1 Points] ljacve55:

Shit-i didnt read rules so closely but admin. removed my post in matter of seconds. I was amazed,fue seconds.


[1 Points] AlpraCream:

Putting up some good numbers man. Appreciate all of the time and work you and your team are doing to keep this community alive.

I literally discovered this today. Before this I thought the dark web was a nickname for obscure websites that sold organs, but my case may offer some insight into your recent influx. I found out about dream and a few other markets when tracing stolen bitcoin and ripple to accounts and transactions that were also associated with accounts making transactions with those markets. That, and cryptocurrency becoming more mainstream in general is possibly giving people opportunity and means to break bad where they didn't have it before, along with crypto simply being associated with the brand.
