I'm in talks with someone to "maybe" get things rolling on here. I'm sorry if I stirred the pot a little bit.
About members being protected...Please remember one thing with any source on any board including ProM. It's not the boards fault if a source scams someone. They are only a billboard for advertising. I've known sources who were around for 10 years all of a sudden up and leave and leave a huge wake behind them. The board can't stop that. It still boils down to, only spend what you can lose without being hurt too bad. How can a board protect its members. The board doesn't know when or how a source is going to up and leave. You can however watch threads...pay attention...if you see a source having difficulties doing what he's suppose to do ie getting orders out the door, a lot of complaints etc....just know that that can be a sign for something to happen in the near future. What should you do at that point? Sit back and watch. Start shopping for another. Right now over there you can go on a few threads and see issues...try it out, sit and watch and see. Or go through old posts and you can see where the trouble starts.
Rajjin is correct in everything he says. He's been around waaaaaay longer than most and he is very respected all over the bodybuilding net board universe. He's also from the same state as me and so I'm biased.
I disagree with pretty much everything you tried to school us on in your post. I feel as if you insulted myself and other members that now better and that you flat out lied to the members that are new and here to learn.
Why are you trying to sell the notion that getting ripped off from time to time is generally accepted by members of on line steroid source and review boards? In your "expert" opinion and in your vast amount of experience the best members can hope for after yrs of homework and of studying what to look for in a source is just a lower percentage of being ripped off from transaction to transaction as the years go by.
Fuck that and fuck you as a source for calling and claiming that these good folks here have just as good a chance of getting ripped off by a source that has been active for 10 yrs as they are by the brand spanking new basement set up that just started trying to push their shit with a line up of plants and shills and slick sounding gmail acct.
I say fuck you because you're trying to call your competition and the peopke involved in UGL's(and you and I both know the word "lab" is much more than a stretch...it's completely inaccurate.) are going to eventually rip people off and as a whole are accepted as pieces of shit.
Fuck you because you are attempting, with complete bullshit to come off as an insider and one of those rare 1 in a million top of the line and above reproach sources that has a little swagger and is just cocky enough that he believes himself to be able to have members eating out of his hand and accepting the nonsense he talks and his attempt to come off as more than a basement brewer who is using the same iffy raws that most of his competition is but is taking a shot by spending the extra money to be pushed, praised and pimped by a group or by certain individuals that have proven over time to increase a a labs exposure and bottom line through what vets and respected members call shady and dishonest and some like myself(who will be called an angry nobody who knows nothing) would call bottom feeders and blood suckers...among other things.
When I refer to Vets and respected members I am excluding the self appointed big shots and those given titles and roles to play on the class of boards that are ProfMuscle, OLM, eroids and ology. I will expand on the different types of boards in my next installment.
Believe me when I tell you that you're not as smart or as good as you may think you are or that your team leader mentor or whomever reared you on line.
I also know with a certainty that there isn't anything of value or importance that you can teach me.
One more fuck you for stroking yourself off in our(the members) living room. You're the stereo typical slimy used car salesman or what one might imagine the PR guy for a run of the mill basement 7th grade chemistry set up in shady world on line steroid dealers that would snatch an old ladies purse and claim he was keeping her on her toes and alert at all times because there are even worse dirt bags than he is....he didn't knock her down...he was sneaky and hid in the shadows then approached here and distracted her using tactics he's been taught by and apprenticed under what the garbage people call a success. A person that has been able to evolve over time and rob and steal with impunity.
