Front page hasn't been updated in 8 months.

[scrapiron]

Why is this page even there? It makes the site look dead when you first get here. There have been probably a dozen things that have happened that warrant a front page announcement but it remains unupdated. Who takes care of this? Do we even need that page or can we just have it push you straight to the forums which is where everyone should be headed when they first get here anyway?

Cuz sources are scamming and nobody cares. SST is dead.

Please don’t let this community die . Been here for years in the old r/sat days. I wouldn’t even know where else to turn if this place fizzled out and we can’t have that ?

SST is dead huh? Thats a bold statement… Find me something in life that involves as many moving components as this website and the businesses it supports that runs smoothly 100% of the time please. I would venture to say you cant. This is illegal, you know the risks and accept them. This site and the sources are fucking gold.

This site isn’t unique. Plenty of alternatives.

Then why hang around if you think its dead?

Can we stop talking about whether it’s dead or not? It isn’t. This is for talking about the uselessness of the front page “announcements” section.

Argue somewhere else.

I mean your original post does say it makes the site look dead? Probably why the conversation went in that direction.

So let’s get rid of it or actually use it so it doesn’t make things APPEAR to be that way.

[jackson5]

this site had sources testing stuff, members testing, bloodwork, cheap gear…
go on paid source boards like promuscle. or anasci. look at the testing results of the gear sold there. its atrocious. 95 percent of tested gear either is way overdosed, way underdosed, or doesnt contain what’s stated on the godam vial. and not one has been removed, cuz at 1000 bucks a month to source, they keep the owners in lambos and mansions, as he posts pics of. source protection, not harm reduction.
this site keeps sources honest, along with meso.
they’re the only sources i’d trust to order from. the ones here.

So I’ll need you to, with evidence, show me which source “scammed” everyone and SST took ZERO action. You have 1 day. If you cannot satisfy this requirement you will be IP banned because you’re a petulant child. Speaking of : aside from banning a source when we have evidence to do so…what would you like SST to do, oh wise highschooler?

Ah yes—another thread citing useless bullshit and extrapolating it to mean the worst. Will you people please just suicide by cop? The splash page and the organizational layout of the entire site is currently being worked on/redone. I know its hard to comprehend that the admins have lives offline but its real! We aren’t getting paid for this shit and from personal talks with sources they seem pretty happy and they are FAR more important to us than you. Use SST or don’t. No one will lose any sleep over it.

I’d be curious to know how our splash page prevents you from establishing a dialogue with a source. Don’t worry, I’ll wait.

 

[scrapiron]

All I claimed is that it’s an announcement page and nothing has been announced for 8 months. Everyone else made this a shit show.

Disclaimer: I haven’t made a single post in here and this is the opinion of a spectator

You can explain your stance without insulting their suggestions and telling them to “suicide by cop” (wtf?) over something so minuscule man.

These members (OP specifically) are trying to make suggestions to better the board. Their remarks aren’t out of malice like you’ve mistaken them for, rather, the complete opposite, benevolence. They want things to be better, more appealing, more active, more mature, and more helpful. They’re giving their viewpoint as a member, and even if you disagree, you can do so without lashing out emotionally. It’s just not necessary, and if anything as an administrator you should be appreciative of your members trying to point out areas that may need changing or improvement–we just want to help make this a better place.

Further, us members can’t know about things like the rework of the splash page or site overhaul unless you guys communicate that with us. Maybe post a monthly announcement to let people know what’s changing, what’s being worked on, what’s being thought of, etc.?! Just basic communication to keep everybody in the loop would be extremely beneficial to the board. Had there been an update post letting us know the front page was being redone, Scrapiron would have had no reason to post this thread, but since we were left in the dark he had no reason to assume that it was being worked on and was only able to see it from a member’s POV rather than a staff member or somebody who was kept up-to-date.

Just my 2c, hope you don’t wish death upon me because of it (lol, semi-kidding)

The last two sources on this board to go MIA also had users report that they were still asking for money and responding to emails post-bust. These busts happen here more than any other board I frequent and this board has very few sources to choose from. Make your own conclusions from that.

And the only action we get here is when other users report about it and weeks later we finally get an announcement. People are still reaching out to sources when they’re MIA and still listed, yet nothing here is changed from an administrative standpoint.

That’s my 2c. Also highschooler? Grow up lol. If you want to ban me for speaking my mind about what I’m observing here, go for it. Will show exactly how transparent you are shutting down voices you don’t wish to hear.

Opinions are only as good as the fact and evidence you have to support them. You have neither. I asked for verifiable information–not your rudimentary understanding of how all this works. Your inability to follow simple instructions, while funny, was completely expected. See ya!

If this is your test for IP ban, many members will fail. Every open forum on the internet faces the same issue. The lack of credible info on TM was a problem. Probably a good idea to acknowledge this rather than excoriating members who recognize the problem.

Reasonable suggestions regarding mod conduct.
