    Getting a source check is like pulling teeth.. y?

    I have sent PMs to various mods for a source check, waited a few days and I haven't heard a thing yet and this isn't the first time I get no help from anyone for a source check.... I'm not looking to get banned but if I do, I won't be losing out on a whole lot since bros out here don't really care to help anyone. I mean the threads are very imformative and I have learned a whole lot but as far as getting some help in verfying if a source is legit, the members in charge of this aren't doing a good job if you understand what I'm saying.

    because the guys that do source checks offer this for FREE in there own limited spare time. Have a little patience. They get 100s of PMs a day and have to sift through them for FREE.
    Your attitude sucks...

    Beast, I sent out a few pms on thursday I think it was and nothing yet. Which is ok because I do understand they have a million other things to do..... But what about the pms I sent out a couple months ago?? Never had those replied to. I think out of all the times I have tried doing a source check I WAS ONLY HELPED ONCE. Clearly this isn't a matter of patience...

    and before I get everyone bashing me... I do understand and appreciate the fact that their are members who do this for free and don't have to do it at all. But lately a source check is almost impossible to get... at least for me.

    Bro, I understand where getbig is coming from and in no way do I think he is slammin any mods or members..... I just think it gets alittle frustrating for many people at times when you are looking for help and none comes... thats all.... Lets not blow this up and make a bigger deal than it is or has to be... hopefully someone take note of this thread and send some checks his and other members way....

    I myself have just used the trial and error approach to getting my gear and for the most part I have been pleased with the sources I found except for one..... and I think everyone knows of the source that I am referring to that should be avoided at all costs cuz his gear is very WEAK..... thats an easy clue to figure out... lol

    do as much of the leg work yourself. check out other boards, check out known scammer lists, ask for references, check up on those references, cos that pretty much what the mods are just gonna do.

    Thursday was 3 days ago.

    Unless it's a source that a Vet/Mod queries weekly, it takes time to run a back ground check.

    You joined in November.

    A couple months ago you didn't have enough activity to get a source check.

    Continue in your impatience if you'd like.

    I'll say that after I put my time in around here, and tried to help others w/ anything I could and did research myself, I had a lot of success w/ source checks from the mods and vets...they were great, and helped me in a really timely manner..much quicker than I expected it...main thing is dont be rude to them...show them the respect they deserve and dont think they owe you anything...it's not their job to give you source checks or anything like that...earn it from them and they will help you out i'm sure.

    I have been on for awhile and some peeps took the time to help me out and some didnt.... a lot of it has been trial and error.... I have a few personal sources that i wont divulge for obvious reasons but I can honestly point members to legit online sources and ugl's that I have personally done business with and can vouch for, at least in regards to my experience with theses sources.... early on, pefectbeast helped me out and I have no probs with returning the favor to other members... I know how hard it is to get started... but... I will not divulge info to new members that have only a few posts..... I gotta see that inquiring bros are serious, asked intelligent questions and know what they are getting into before divulge any source info... dont expect to post once or twice and get a source from someone cuz it just wont happen.....

    i have been on this board for 2 years and have not sent a pm to anyone .......nor have i found a source. i just keep looking. i would never want to put someone in a position like that. but thats just me. iam more here to learn how to do this stuff and the knowledge i have gained is immeasurable. i figure finding gear is as easy as google search.........or going to the gym....jmo

    bro, you might of got lucky and caught someone at a good time, or got someone that had done business with that source...... thats kewl that it worked out for you... but sometimes in this game you are on a deadline with gear and cycle timing and you cant afford to wait too long for a check.... with that being said.... maybe there should be a dedicated source check mod or something....... to be honest I havent dealt with any of the mods, I got all my help from other members and doing leg work by checking other boards and such.........

    That's backward logic.

    Buying gear is risky business.

    I'd think that it would be more important to you to ensure the guy you want to use isn't: DEA; a scammer; or Someone who's gear is dirty...

    More important than getting gear quickly.

    But each to their own.

    Are you going to pay someone to spend each and every day fraternizing with sources?

    You get what you pay for...and you dont pay anything for this site so id be pretty happy with how much info you get from here for free and the time mods give to everyone...people take this site for granted way toooo much

    how about this...

    You are asking for a communication in an attempt to commit a criminal act.. if no one knows you why would they offer to help..

    no i don't do source checks..

    sorry, you can always use the free list..

    or since this is such a limited information site with so few people willing to help you specifically..

    there are plenty of boards with open sources posting thier products in the open for everyone to see them..

    good luck..

I do my own source checks and leg work... as I said earlier I dont trust anyone... I learn for myself, its all trial and error....

    We are in April, I haven't been posting tooo much lately but I could asure you I did have enough activity for a source check. A couple months ago.


    Impatience? I love you the way you take half of the story, quote what you like to try to make your point.... You do that in every thread where you dissagree or have a problem with something someone is saying or doing...Y not also quote where I said

    Good point, but then why offer to do source checks for members with 100 post if your not going to do them?

    I think everyone is reading this and thinking, "this guy is a jerk, this is free what does he expect etc etc...." when in reality I know this is free and no one has to help anyone with anything etc.. But I guess what I'm trying to do is maybe raise a little awareness about the problem I and possibly other members are experiencing with source checks.
