Hello,

There must be a section outlining the forum rules but I can’t find one.

Specifically, I want to know if it’s all right to post a link to a drug vendor (all legal) so that I can ask questions about them (if they’re legit, if anyone’s purchased from them, if there’s any strings attached, etc.). I’ve been to other forums where that’s a big NO-NO. Is it all right here?

to clarify, feds don’t care about individual’s drug use being discussed – but they do look at anything what may be encouraging or bragging about dealing, or selling drugs on line, and any discussion or bragging of theft or violent crime does get investigated.

Its not just the chemicals themselves which are illegal but the concept of taking recreational drugs is viewed as a criminal act worldwide.. even the “tolerant” countries have only chosen not to enforce UN law, they have not made drugs legal – its just that individual use is a relatively minor crime.

Since the kiddies social networks like bebo started up the cops have set up entire divisions to monitor what is said on the internet, and everyone can now ultimately be held accountable for what they post online…

It’s still somewhat unclear whether posting my question would violate any forum rules. There’s this:

“Please be aware we cannot accept posts selling drugs of any sort (including so-called “legal highs”), or linking to sites which contain explicit sexual content, or encouraging certain forms of illegal activity.”

I wouldn’t be selling drugs, and although I would be linking to a site that does, those drugs are not illegal (and certainly doesn’t contain any sexual content – although they do sell a couple aphrodisiacs :D).

the more you chat about your sources in public, the more likely they will get closed down. The various authorities monitoring internet sites operate across national laws and borders and have no problem in using the laws in a “harsher” country to stop something they don’t agree with even if their home countries laws are “liberal”.
