You could do that OR, and this is the better option, IMO - create an atmosphere on MESO that STRONGLY discourages anyone from even considering sources that have no history, no references, and are completely unknown.
I suppose it would be similar to how we deal with shills or scammers like Z. If a Meso vet got a free cycle from Z, do you think they would admit it? Not likely! If they face similar scorn or accusations of shilling for trying every swing dick that scores a kilo of powder and a bathtub, it will quickly put a stop to that bull shit.
Like I said in the hercules thread, I don't give a flying fuck about new sources that come here looking to make a name for themselves. It's not our responsibility to help them get established. Meso doesn't owe these clowns anything. If they are serious about being a legit "long term" source, they can go pay the sponsor fees at PM or OLM and build a name that way. They don't belong on Meso.
That the Hercules scam was ever allowed to happen here really bothers me. No, I didn't lose money - I would never use a source like Herc. This is the first big scam I've seen happen to Meso since I've been following the board and those types of scams ARE NOT supposed to happen here. But, it did happen. It happened because those of us who know better dropped the ball. The only members who consistantly warn against using new sources are BB and Jim but they can't be everywhere, all the time. I wish the rest of us had stepped up to the plate the minute his sorry ass landed.. He should have never been given an opportunity to get established on Meso.
It's time for the vets to take a stand against this, not look for free cycles at the expense of everybody else.

I'm with you, partner. I do understand what Stretch Is saying, also. However, I'd prefer to err on the side of staying clean. Fuck the sources. Let them figure out the best way to get their shit out there into the community.
Some sort of contest or auction may be the answer?
Doesn't matter to me. I'm cool with purchasing my gear, always have been.
