No I would never give out classified information, or my algorithms or my technology. But if I was selling something that relied heavily on a clean sterile environment I would most certainly show and entertain who what when where why and how I did. I would also prove that I wasn't using a half-assed facility and in a real office / warehouse.
You also cannot compare an illegsl drug operation to a technology company or marketing / business venture capitalist analytics business, where alot of the revenue comes from administration and consulting and I sure would inform a customer some of the things we do, prepare, analyze and plan to improve as well as provide a portfolio. I wasn't asking him to give a live your, just a mere understanding of sterilization procedures and some photos of such equipment to prove it wasn't being done in a bathroom. And let's be honest, no source is going to be busted bt LE for posting a fileted pic of a pill press. He could even just DM it. But as you said, he doesn't have to per the rules. But I can ask.
I would hardly call that a karen. Trying to ensure my own safety and legitimacy isn't me beijg a karen, it's wanting to make sure I am getting a sterilized quality product. If you go in a restaurant, and every dish on your tables dirty, would you not be curious and possibly want to see how things are cleaned?
And sincyomods are the 1s who were shown and vouching shouldn't they also bear some responsibility if the products are bad? The whole "you dont have to buy or use this" is also true and poor business ethics.
And the MC 1 relevant as it jist proves the Dprovevided to mods can be limited, lied, and overlooked. Having people willing to help do DD into sources should be encouraged tbh. But clearly this is going nowhere. So I won't bother.
He could make great gear, who knows? But in my opinion it was a very sloppily lazily put together intro. And instead of even answering my basic questins he took offense. And than you came in to save him by saying he doesn't have to. He never even had to defend or answer. Weather he DMd you or another mod or whatever. It would have been alot more respectable had he just said some practices he used.
just stating my thoughts at this point. It's all academic discussion.
You have made the rules clear though. I will drop it. Have a good weekend.
Sir you are quite something else. Do not “let’s be honest,” me because I’ve seen stuff that’s put here used against sources. Your argument here about not having an OPSEC compromise because of a photo is incorrect.
The illegal equipment and product he has are “classified information,” because they are illegal. Now can you ask what his brew process is and his filter process, heat sterilization process? Absolutely. And he should be able to answer you sufficiently. But you’re not entitled to see his peristaltic pump, flow hood, autoclave etc. End of story. Donezo. No source is required to show that to anyone but us in the app process. I’m not arguing this point with you further.
Being a Karen is going into the restaurant and asking to see the plates before sitting down to order and then when they say that’s weird and refuse, you saying it’s poor service, zero stars, I won’t eat here again, when you haven’t ordered in the first place. That’s what YOU’RE doing here.
Your example of a Karen in this context is poor. Of course if the plates, or gear, was dirty, as has happened to multiple sources in my time, you’d have some legitimacy to your bitching, but you don’t. And when it has happened we hold sources accountable for a replacement or refund. It’s not uncommon.
You have no legitimate complaint except for the fact the answer provided to you was not what you wanted. That’s fine and fair. Go to a different restaurant where they will show you the plate cleanliness before you sit down, aka another source with a better answer, in this analogy.
Obviously you haven’t read our wiki or you’d know that PMs are disabled here. Always have been, always will be. So no he can’t PM you. I would ask that you and everyone read it to familiarize themselves with how SST operates.
SST is not a business and mods have no responsibility for the source that any individual users choose. The fact that you’re so hung up on this, having mods reimburse for bad gear, makes me think that you really like that policy. So you should patronize the board where they apparently offer it.
There’s no need or requirement for you to be here and while you state that you like SST, the other parts of your statement contradict every SST does and is about.
I’m no longer replying to you. Anything further will result in a temp ban and then a permanent one if this continues after that.
