I’m curious is to why all these threads seem to be getting locked all of a sudden as soon as someone doesn’t like the direction it’s going? I have no idea who that someone is nor do I care. What I care about it transparency.

No offense to any of the hierarchy here because I honestly get along and respect most of you here but I gotta admit it kinda seems like every time there’s an uncomfortable subject come up with certain people or sources they either get locked or deleted. WTF?

I know better than anyone about the importance of not posting certain info. Obviously that’s a no no and should be deleted asap but it seems like now It’s almost taboo to talk about certain sources when they may or may not be having a legit issue.

Every source is having RAW issues. It’s no secret. As a consumer who knows how shit works behind the scenes I’m ok with that. I want to know how the source handles it. That’s kinda shit goes a long way with me. I don’t want to hear it from reps and members who are sucking the sources dick thinking they are going to get something great for being snuggled up with a scumbag. As long as there’s no info being shared openly then what’s the harm?

Watch this thread will get either locked or shit canned. Wanna bet? All I gotta do is mention a source that no one here likes. Lol
 
I agree with you.

I’m not trying to be a disrespectful asshole to anyone here but I’m like legit pissed. Other than a private board I belong to ASF has always been my Go To for talking about like minded shit with good dudes without having to worry too much about being scammed one way or another. Now I click on and start to read a thread about testing and every time it’s about a source other than a select few it gets locked or deleted. Fuck that. Delete whatever info is supposedly being posted that’s not allowed and let the rest be. I come here because I thought it was one of the more honest boards on the web. I belong to like 11 boards right now and you wouldn’t believe what goes on behind the scenes with the mods and admins and the sources. It’s a dirty ass game and I honestly thought ASF was different. I still do but I’m definitely not liking the mods and admins censoring what I see based on who’s who. Kinda seems that way lately. I hope I’m wrong. I really do.

Like you, I just want to see how a source handles something like this. That’s it.
 
Two sources got caught scamming, plain and simple, there's no other way to spin it, and locking the thread where it's being discussed no matter which way you slice it is a terrible look.

Whichever mod locked that thread, it looks pretty fucking bad.

People are losing faith in the quality of the sources here, and for good fucking reasons.
Locking the threads, wether it's intentional or not, is coming off as sweeping it under the rug.
 
I want to be crystal clear here, and if I get banned for it so be it. This is not source bashing, these are the facts.

YMS at the very least clearly and intentionally attempted to rip off their customers with that under dosed product.

There is no way to get that outcome on a finished product without the plain intent to scam.

There is no raw impure enough to get that result, there is no scale uncalibrated enough for that result.

The only way to get that is deliberate and intentional scamming.

We have some great guys here that rep for yms, but YMS are scammers, period, and should not be tolerated on this forum

You shouldn’t get banned for anything bro. You’re not source bashing. You’re simply giving your opinion on what went down based on the info you’ve seen. There is a ton of info out there about YMS selective scamming. If someone doesn’t bring it up then how is everyone else supposed to know and why would YMS ever change up their business practices without repercussions from doing shady shit.

Now if you were saying all that based on nothing other than your personal opinion over and over again or saying shit that just isn’t true to hurt a particular source then yeah your source bashing.
 
I think this is what they are talking about
 
It’s because this is a source board. These guys pay for protection which is why they’re also moderators 🤷‍♂️

The thread about a guy getting arrested for ordering from YMS wasn’t just locked, they deleted the whole fucking thread to hide it.

I agree it’s 100% bullshit given the circumstances but not unexpected from a source board

So, board reps are also mods? Only in their subcategories or across the whole board?
 
I think people just need to be aware at this time that sources pay for protection. Theyre paying good money for advertisement here, and one of the perks is being able to have some control over the content about their brand. This isn't a total free market society here. That's just how it works here. Just know what you're getting in to when ur here for shopping. Maybe it's a risk ur willing to take. If not, the community is still worth sticking around for imo

There have been quite a few that people really need to see that have disapeared lately or have been locked recently.

This... I'm not sure how much it is now but I know a few yrs ago it was $1k a month. Takes a good bit of sales to get that back.

They banned @yinjuju for discussing the truth about YMS and going off on PSL scamming with test prop in their primo then they locked that thread. I have absolutely 0 respect lately how this forum is handling YMS situation. They are selling fucking narcotics and their LE threads even in the pit got deleted.

@HFO4 @heavyiron is there any update as to why yinjuju got banned after calling out YMS? There's definitely a mod on here protecting YMS or other mod-endorsed vendors on here. They should be subjugated to the same hell that Dutch, Azteca, PSL, and everyone else that got called out for the same shit, except theirs seems worse. No mods ever responded to the people asking in the thread posted about PSL and YMS scamming their customers, people wanna know why that guy was banned after rightfully so calling out these vendors.

There was a thread where @GYMnTONIC fully explained why that thread was deleted. It wasnt the mods. It was because of the dude that made the original accusation withdrew everything.
