Do '''not''' ask for money, BTC, or users to send you drugs (this includes trades for BTC -- including "legal" trades.) Keep in mind sarcasm is hard to tell on the internet. | Do '''not''' ask for money, BTC, or users to send you drugs (this includes trades for BTC -- including "legal" trades.)

=Sourcing= | ==Sourcing== | ||
'''TLDR''' | |||
Sourcing is defined as asking for or providing a specific source for drugs. This includes, but is not limited to, asking for vendor names, URLs, specifics about offers or transaction details. | |||
Why is sourcing against the rules? | |||
This ruleset is priority one next to our policies on harm reduction on this network, and we firmly believe these rules are important for the continued existence of our community and acheiving our goals in maintaining a safe harm reduction community. | |||
We believe in keeping our community focused on what it should be: Harm reduction and a fun place to chat. Not a place to find substances/paraphernalia. | |||
Asking for legal vendors is also not allowed to save us time checking each vendor to make sure its legal since legislation differs between countries or states. | |||
'''Definitions''' | |||
*Vendor: A person or group selling specific goods | |||
*Marketplace: A trade hub on which vendors trade goods | |||
*Linking: Posting a URL hyperlink into a channel. | |||
'''Examples of conversation''' | |||
*Allowed: | |||
::* What is the average price of X in general, or an area? | |||
::* Discussing sources for harm reduction equipment such as scales or testkits. | |||
::* Marketplaces' political and social effect on the community. | |||
::* Are marketplaces secure? | |||
::* Are substances are being securely traded at X? | |||
*Not Allowed: | |||
::* How do I find vendors? | |||
::* How do I trade substances? | |||
::* Can someone refer me a specific vendor? | |||
::* Buy from Larry at Y, he has good stuff | |||
::* What is the price of X from a specific online source? | |||
::* Listing information about vendors | |||
::* Discussing or linking of vendors for paraphernalia or herbs. salts, etc | |||
::* Soliciting for currencies | |||

::* How to use marketplaces | |||
::* How to interact with vendors | |||
::* How to stay anonymous | |||
::* Linking or discussing specific information about offers (such as vendor, price, access) | |||
::* Link to public discussion about marketplaces e.g. Linking to a reddit page for an online marketplace. | |||
'''Try To Avoid:''' | |||
::* Be aware that legislation differs depending on location and do not suggest illegal acts | |||
::* Arguing with moderators about enforcement of these rules in a public channel | |||
::* If you wish to discuss a rule or need a clarification please PM a moderator or join #tripsit.me. | |||
'''Moderation Guidelines''' | |||

::* Soliciting for online currencies | |||
::* Specifics about the mechanics of online vending | |||
::* Giving moderators a hard time enforcing these rules | |||
::* Other infractions: We like to deal with other behaviors in a softer manner, by guiding the user and explaining to them what is and isn't allowed. In the case of repeated offences or a bad attitude the offence will lead to execution of the above. Every case is unique and will be dealt with to the best of the ability of the staff on duty at the time. Every action is logged and audited. | |||
