+ 8 Just a quick heads up
at this time there is no posting gear pics of unverified sources, and there is no posting pics of gear of sources not on eroids. due to to many unverified sources giving away free gear in order to get pics posted. these pics will be removed and karma that was given will be removed. I understand that people want to see packs landing and pics up, but this is the current rule at this time.
Also please note that promo can only be ran in the promo section, any source caught talking about their promo on their Si or anywhere else will be reprimanded. This includes even if the promo is currently running. I know there is people that want to stand up for your source but be advised doing so will put you in a position to be temp banned, just stay out of it and let MODs and sources deal with the issue. its really not that big of a deal to get caught up in, but rules are rules and they will be enforced when seen.

RustyhookerIf you check with the long time members here they'll tell you straight that any gear, regardless, got a proper review from me. I've flamed many sources in review and si as a regular member here. Sources did not give me free gear because I won't be bought. Simple integrity.
Is it right that a non subscriber earns revenue through eroids?
Tom GunnWhy not? This is a review site. It is a place to review gear related sites. I bet there are a bunch of accessories that are not verified that make money from here.
and this is the way eroids was until we had sources ripping people off then coming back a few weeks later as another source, over and over again so we started the unverified section.
Tom GunnI agree with you but they are not going to rip anyone off until they get verified. Why rip off 12 when you can rip off 100s? We all hate scammers. Hell I think the scammers hate themselves.
So let's say you are a verified source. You pay your subscription each month, however much that may be, but then you have an unverified lab paying members to rep for them while they make a profit from the shadows. What would be your thoughts on that? Hell for all we know some the members repping these sources could be the source themself.
Tom GunnYou think the unverified sources are the only ones paying people (cash or gear) to talk about their product? If I was a source I would want less competition. This helps and I would be all for it.
AnonNot ALL verified sources are paying sources.
Once you hit a certain rank that's when you pay. This as a source I believe is a fair way to run for eroids.
The higher you are the higher the cost, which means if you have that high of an influx you can either remove yourself from the listing for a bit by not paying and afford the loss of advertisement or continue to pay and communicate with your customers.
Trust me I've been in the top 10 and it does make you wonder if you really need any new customers.
Tom GunnI am not saying I disagree. I am just saying it does not look good to a outsider. I also do not think it will help against people getting scammed.
Thanks for the clarification. I know this will help several people here.
That being said, I just don't get why so many people want to jump on unverified sources. I don't understand why anyone would want to inject who knows what into their bodies, from Jimmies' hot plate special, simply because they got a good deal and the source called him "bro" (if they called me "brah", then maybe I'd consider it!).
Most here have more common sense, but for the rest, take a few minutes to think about what you're potentially risking.
Ace VenturaJuice was around before eroids, and it'll be around after eroids (hopefully). This site is not the be-all end-all of the steroid market. Just because a source isn't verified by King Eroids doesn't mean they can't be a great source with quality gear. With proper information and guidance, one can have great luck outside of this site. And I don't give a fuck about free gear.
...just trying to provide a different perspective. :~)
AnonAmen brother. There's a few out there that are private(email only) and aren't on any boards, including this board and hands down they IMO from personal exoerience shit on a lot of Srcs here and other sites. I think it can't be said enough that a simple verification here does not mean it's automatic that the Src isn't going to scam you or sell underdosed shit. I remember that Src that was called "Avis". They sold improperly labeled gear to people. The primo was NPP or something.
Imagine what that would do to a female thinking she just bought Primo.
But I also agree that there's a lot of hype man shit with these non verified Srcs. I'm sure that's part of why this new rule is in effect. When this site First started we could submit any Src we wanted and no questions were asked. But a lot has happened since Then. The website has grown and traffic is huge. These newer unverified Srcs want
To exploit that for shady purposes. Not all are like that but unfortunately some are. So there has to be some sort of blanket policy to catch everyone. Maybe I'm full of shit and completely wrong. But that's what I'm thinking is why this rule is now in effect.
RustyhookerMembers can still submit a soyrce. Always have been able to. Nitti says it better than I do.

AnonYa I see that. That's Just a long time members opinion No worries though bro I'm outta here. My opinion is worth as much as the shit on the bottom of your shoe.
RustyhookerYou've been throwing good advice for a long time. Just posted link to verify that you're correct. Proof I guess.
AnonThanks for the words man.
My thing was just making sure folks do not interpret this as that verified equals GTG. Or that in any way does the equate to that Eroids vouches for any verified Srcs. I just want people to understand every order is a risk.
Last week that Tony cat didn't quite understand that. He equated Verified with that Eroids stood behind that Src he was bitching about. He was a bit looney but he isn't the first person to make that same mistake.
Give them a vote if you find it helpful.PermalinkRustyhookerYes yes! Perfect point. It's member run and relies fully on members chat and reviews. Any source can flip on a dime regardless of status. Shake the dice!
Tom GunnI am sure most of them want to exploit this to make money. Not rip members off. I would bet there is not a active source on here that did not give free gear out to get the talk going about the gear. I will bet there will not be one in the future either. The money is in having an established business not scamming a few people that stumble on a new sources page.
Ace VenturaI agree. I have no problem with the rule, just the mentality that eroids is god of roids.
(I obviously love this site, but I'm also aware that there is a world that exists outside of here in this business)
People are free to do whatever they want with their money and health. My point is that I don't understand when someone can use many resources to get a better idea if what they're using is safe and effective, whether that information comes from here or elsewhere.
There are solid sources not here, that's not my point. It's the fly by night sources that pop up, give out free gear, and a bunch of guys jump on it.
Ace VenturaI know what you mean, although it could have used a little more explanation, like the one you just provided. I just find that these types of discussions tend to be far too one sided.
x2
Loose_CannonExactly Ace
Anonx2 ive used gear from srcs not on eroids and it blew away some of the garbage from verified srcs on eroids Believe that....
Ace VenturaLol, I agree. It was free though, right?
AnonFuck No i wish
Because in many cases they're getting freebies.
Amazing what some people will do for $100 of free gear.....
Can you link your pictures of received promo packs in the regular SI?
So long as source is verified
at this time there is no posting gear pics of unverified sources, and there is no posting pics of gear of sources not on eroids
If it states Verified Source and then the sources name, does that mean they are verified and a part of Eroids?
Thanks
Yes
Thanks Brother
Thanks for this "heads up" it is sorely needed.
If they were previously verified, does the rule take effect going forward or is it retro'd regardless? Is there ever a case that a source is verified and then later deemed as unverified?
I'm just curious and some others may have the same questions. Rules are rules for a reason.
Thanks Roid...
If for some odd reason source became unverified then just follow the rules. Unverified source pics will be removed
Gotcha Roid. Thanks
I think bloods should be allowed verified or unverified. Better then a review numbers don't lie
At this time they are not
that's a tough call since we always have idiots like mr.pump willing to do anything to get his hands on some free shit. also there have been many new sources over the years that put out good shit for a month or 2 and then when everyone likes what they see they start putting out pure garbage.
That can happen with any source. Member keep getting bloods keep them honest
Considering the member is honest and ain't using some.other gear. You can still leave a review. Just no pics
I'm sure you've been in contact with the source and he knows your handle, the adv tag, and the little following you have. Did you place a "blind" order and not let the source know you're a member on eroids? I highly doubt that you did that. I would of been confident in my blood work too if I knew a source is looking to get verified and I was an adv member hanging on his page. Now look at all the people who say "they might pull the trigger" cause of good ole frank the tanks bloods. All you're being is the Shepard leading the flock to an unverified gamble. Just say he doesn't get verified and has 50 pending orders from members he's never gonna see again? Do you see those packs landing? I sure dont think so. Are you gonna reimburse the members or just move on and say they should of known better before ordering from a source that BFG and the mods are watching and haven't verified. I like you bro and appreciate the bloods but there has been a huge increase from a lot of higher ranking members getting special treatment from new (unverified) sources and clogging up every free gear promo. I'm not on here that much during the day and I see it...what do you think the mods and other members that are scrolling through every page see? Be safe bud
Loose_CannonSo because Frank likes a certain source and has had great results with a unverified source he should be held accountable if anything ever happened to say unverified source? Thats the most ridiculous shit ive ever heard, how many fan boys have been all over Verified sources SI page and then when shit went south with those several verified sources were they held accountable no.... So that makes no sense, verified or unverified its a gamble ordering from any source. There have been several sources who have screwed people as a verified source oweing thousands and thousands of dollars to us users and then a few weeks later they just open up shop and become verified AGAIN!!!!
I paid for all my gear and had blood work done I'm not telling anyone to buy from any body that's there choice. I buy from different sources all the time.
In the 3 years hear most of the scammers were top 10 sources.
RustyhookerThe problem isn't directly at you. Problem is with the shady members and weeding them out. Couple months ago a dude posted REAL bloods per the pix. But after collecting some 25 karma from high karma folks, we'll no one read the report. Ton of sales and unverified skipped. Post was the guy did 200 mg per week. His posted bloods showed well over 3000. And it slipped through.
See this is what me and I'm sure other members as well like to hear is explanation of the rules and what has happened to as well instead of the comment read the rules all the time cause it is confusing some times and some are just common since that members should be aware of. This has helped shine a little light on this subject for me. Thanks.
AnonDon't assume that because a Src is verified that BFG and the mods vouch for them and you won't get scammed. Don't forget the biggest scammers of all time on Eroids were verified. Some were verified multiple times and they scammed multiple times like Perses and selective scammers like Waldo.
Just becUse they're verified does not imply you won't get fucked. Every single order everyone makes is a risk. There is never not a risk of being scammed. Even from the Srcs we think are the golden egg. One second they're free and the next they could be pinched. This the dope game. It's always a risk
Loose_CannonThank you Carlos, ive wanted to say the same thing but i was gonna let it go.
And this post doesn't just pertain to this certain source or member. It's happening everywhere you look. I have nothing against Frank or the source. Just calling it how I see it. Be safe people
"No posting of gear pics"
what about bloods?
