Finally caught up in this thread. Ik, Ik.. I’m slow
@Rapier or whomever he really is, is trying to promote this being from a harm reduction aspect
, while potentially doing harm to a member here turned source. Sounds almost hypocritical
I’m all about being informed but this was the worst way possible to do so. Seems its personal and a shitty fuckin way to go about it!
Bottom line is if Stan didn’t get vetted in the right way then it’s the members fault not the sources. It’s our responsibility to vet sources.
All you mother fuckers need to be pointing a finger at yourself (myself included here) for not vetting Stan in a more “Meso” kind of way.
I see many wanting to blame Stan along with other members that are/were here giving a “gtg” for him and then him being a source because he wasn’t vetted in the beginning. I mean.. really?!
Isn’t it up to us members to call out the shills and vet these sources to our best abilities? Us members dropped the ball here!!
Someone please explain to me the right way to vet a source.... Every source that comes through here is vetted in different ways because we do NOT have a set standard here for vetting sources. Yes we test these sources and put them through the ringer (some harder than others for whatever reason). But there’s no gold standard to hold them to. If there is one please lmk!!
Some also fail to realize that the vetting process in the beginning isn’t what determines how good a source does here. It’s how they do over time that makes or breaks them. If we don’t continue to vet all sources throughout their stay here, then we have only ourselves to blame....
There’s no perfect UGLs and no perfect way to vet them. I’ve seen bad ones stay around and good ones get ran off. Just how shit is.
Being informed is the most important thing we can do here. We should inform others in order to help one another. That way we can set our own individual standards to choose whatever source that we’re most comfortable with from the information we’ve gathered.
I’m always a Members first kinda guy. But I’m more of what’s right is right. Sources should be vetted throughout but this isn’t a productive way to do it IMO. The members that “now” want to jump and get in on the vetting process in this thread is really rewarding bad behavior and bad practices (again IMO)
Vet these sources in their own threads so that their customers can see and be informed there. Starting a thread like this, in this way, is just bad taste and screams retaliation to me! Not productive and not the way to put out information that will/can help our community. Personal gain is the goal here, to only help ones self!
The only bad thing if sources weren’t here would be that there wouldn’t be any drama for me to read! Who am I kidding, that’s what some members are here for...
