Title: Where's all the intelligent people?
Post by: forgot my password on July 27, 2012, 04:32 pm
What happened to all the intelligent people we had posting on the forum?
People like Wowzers, etc. that actually could hold a conversation.
We're getting over run with your average street level IQ thugs.
When I first joined this place it was filled with intelligent people with great information.
I can't even fuck with people anymore they are too ignorant to understand.

Kind of a shame that sr is becoming like a average project in the hood filled with ingnorance.

Maybe a lot of the smart people are sitting back and observing the trends. After you've been on the road for a while the mentality of security changes. It did for me.

A lot of people get too free with their conversations and later regret posting information or may just want to tone down on speaking their interests(besides drugs). A crafty intelligence officer can piece these things together you know?

I've been on here for over a year and there's no way I could be profiled.
There's no way the people I'm talking about would let that happen either.

But I guess you do have a point, I just hope we get some quality people back around here soon. We need it.

I know people lose sight of priorities when they think they're invincible. I was checking a vendor out last night with a picture of a chick that had a bandana over her face selling US domestic rolls. I'm sure this kid has been in trouble before and sure as hell doesn't have common sense since he tried to pawn off a bag of baking soda as 1/2g fentanyl(Both the vendor and buyer should've been popped across the head).

Everything is on the computer therefore the computer is the medium. This makes it extremely easy for intel officials to perform their magic and busts retards like above. One crack in the vase will leak as much water as you let it-so don't keep filling it!-i.e. personal info/interests.

Its just a reflection of the internet in general and what happens when sites become more popular. Look at a place like bluelight in the early 2000s compared to now. Also, the internet gives the ability for people to quickly find information and news, its also gives crackpots and blowhards a soapbox to stand on and shout from.

Yes that's exactly the type of people I am talking about.
That person is extremely careless, using yahoo emails.
Has ads on Topix, where she was scamming people.
Anyone interested in tracking them down could do it easily.

Looks like another scammer was using their youtube name on here.
Some peoples children...

Every mistake I make is a calculated mistake.
I'm perfect, stop trying to profile me.

but if it was a calculated mistake it was still a mistake. Reasoning with it will only dilute yourself into a delusional counterpart that is susbseptible to failure, but why should you guys listen to me? I am one of the 10 buying a fake(legitmate) degree on SR....

Falling forward. Mistakes, I've made a few. ShutupMeg is funny and so is IForgotMyPassword.

How do I "+1" someone?

Also did the SR price to "Become a Seller" just go up from 13 to 17 BT?

Lastly (to stay on topic) I am a newbie, but i am muy inteligente, I just am too lazy to figure out how to +1...

Not sure on the vendor price, but you have to have so many posts before you can karma people. I think its 100 posts.

Vendor accounts are 150.00.. converted to whatever the BtC rate is...
So, it will always fluxuate in BtC(depending on the going rate.) but it will always be 150 unless changed?

Yes, it's 100 posts :P.

Yes, it's $150 USD, so convert that to bitcoins by whatever the current rate is, and that's how many it would cost you to buy a vendor account.

It's not your time spent here that is in question. You are saying that the community has gotten dumber and I think that its kind of pretentious of you when you have not even been here two months to see how the people here have evolved. This community is over a year old for all you know this could be the smartest the user base collectively has ever been.

This topic comes up on many forums and websites. Old members tend to start to complain about the degradation of their beloved website due to an influx of new members who do not understand the website's etiquette and are rude or otherwise immature. There is a term for this, it's called "Eternal September".
