we gave people a chance, asked them to be discreet but everyone was still stubbornly blatant and it was turning into a online turf war between sellers.
this is a very high profile website which has been featured on the British mainstream media and comes under the scrutiny of goverments and law enforcement agencies worldwide. all sorts of “interesting” IP addresses have turned up in our log files over the years..
We (both users and mods of this site) are not above the law, and the concept of recreational drug use is illegal worldwide (even if individual nations haven’t caught up with certain substances yet). in most nations we are allowed as individuals to openly disagree with our laws, but there are still no “free speech” laws defending blatant criminal activity.
The only reason individual drug use anecdotes are not investigated is that they are relatively minor crimes -however dealing of any kind (including selling anything as “medicine” or a “dietary supplement” or even “plant food”) will get at the very least investigated. Even if cops can’t do anything immediately they collate intelligence for later, this is how all the forums got fucked over 5 years ago when we were blatantly advertising illegal raves..
This is why i actually PM’d Dr B ages ago about all this drone shite,
specially that mephredrone thread, too many people asking for info, making us all look like a bunch of online dealers.
Glad some action is finally being taken. :love:
