Legit/Scammers List & Member Hostility Question
OK,
I have a question regarding the whole concept behind the "Legit vs Scammers" list or question in the hopes that I get an intelligent, respectful response without all the sarcasm and hostility from members.
As a new member with goals of building and gaining mass, I am perplexed by the blatant hostility and sarcasm I see from experienced members on the site.
From what I've read on the forums both here and other sites, there is an ongoing them or notion that "newbiews" should do their homework when attempting to find a source for gear. If the poor soul is a novice, hasn't read or fully "understood" the nuances of asking such questions, he/she is barated with insults or curt replies.
This reminds me of many people who are successful, once they've reached their pennacle of forgetting where they came from, or had their first start. So, albeit I think everyone should follow the "rules" that have been implemented, I'm also inclined to explore how revisiting this notion is prudent.
ie... under the ospus of "doing your homework" I have done exactly that. I went on line, checked both private and non-profit organizations regarding the use of steroids etc... Upon concluding my "research or homework" I found one supplier and placed my order only to be burned and ripped off. I have since place another order recently, only after reading rave reviews or commentary from another site. However, I still don't know if I will get burned since my order is still pending.
I soon learned that "doing one's homework" is relegated to the information that's available on the internet especially in light of every steroid forum frowning upon providing resources for legitimate suppliers etc... So, the newbiew is blindly left to ordering over and over again from sources that are potentially rip off's losing potentially thousand of dollars under the rules of "doing your homework. This is also evident by the lists that are posted of the hundreds of scammers even on this site.
So, the ban of disclosure of legitimate sources is a misnomer under the opsus of "doing your homework." Again, I only present this because I know that there are many novice' out there who are asking the same question but are too afraid to ask in fear of getting the preverbial attacks.
In the interest of law enforcement and fear of getting caught by suppliers, I know that there are great concerns. However; this should not negate any such suppliers from doing "their homework" to ensure they don't get caught vs placing the ban on those of us seeking legitimate suppliers.
In essence, I hope that I can get an intelligent and respectful reply to my open dialog to better understand this notion and concept other than what I've just written vs the standard; sarcastic, smart-a*** reply.
Respectfully
Tyme
