DrugBuyers.Com: Posting and PM Guidelines-Suggestion

This came from the an, uh, introduction in"Introductions". After my response I realized that the message would really do well in the "Welcome" page, since this is likely the first page that newbies look at. I considered the "Guidelines for Newbies" (I think it was posted by Legitimate) but considering that I can't even find it, I doubt that the folks who most need this information are ever going to see it. If this type ofinfo on posting, contributing, research and PMs is not already in a spot where newbies are almost forced to read it before starting. could it, or something similar, be put there?
I think we'd all be grateful to be saved from this behavior. So my suggestion is that this post be put somewhere people will see it.

I would also add that the tow "who has it" fprums are the best for comparing prices and finding sources, but it doesn't give any feedback on whether the service is legit or has decent customer serivce.

So, after checking out those threads, then go look for recent reports in the USOP/IP forums to see what the lastest feedback on the OP's of you choice is. You may want to go back a couple of pages to see, since these threads multiply fast and topic that someone posted on 2 days ago may already be on the 3rd page.

For all other forums, where timeliness is NOT an issue, do a search. Set the time back to "all posts" and go ahead and search all forums. It if comes up with no results, try modifying your search terms. If it only comes up with searchs that are a few months old, I would reccomend you read them and, if you don't get your answer or get dated info, then you can start a new post. "Recent News about_____?" or the specific question that wasn't answered in your post. The only reason I reccomend making a new post on something that already has a post is that most people, when they seea topic with multiple replies, will answer only the first post, or two ro three folks get fairly off topic for and thread dies out of disgust.

Please don't PM inviduals with questions that just the littlest bit of reading and research can reveal. This weekend I have gotten a request for the prices at NWW, how much a consultation at NWW costs, how to read pharmakos' order sheet and why order 120 "brand name 1mg xanax" instead of 120 Gador brand 2mg alprazolam, even though I had explained it in my previous posts.

This is probably all on FAQ's for newbies, and from you intial post it's clear you realize how much information is available here. The folks that are sending me these posts don't take the time to read the board, and you seem pretty much on target about this community.

In short, we want you to contibute, but you need to do some work on your own, too. You can alwasy feel free to make a topic when the threads you have found in search contain no answer to your question (make sure your title expresses your exact question) or the topic doesn't show at all. And if you need the "latest" info on something and the last post was 6 weeks ago, you can certainly make a post about "Any Recent info on. . .?" And obviously you are welcome to reply to any post that intrigues you.

Dont' forget that dirty words are auto-censored to reaed Best if kept off the board, so using a less offensive term is always a good bet.
