You're referring to a possible Dyson sphere around Tabbi's star. Scary stuff if it is. Any civilization that can build on that scale could wipe us out on a whim. I don't buy the notion that an advanced race would be benevolent. Neither does Steven Hawking. Just look at human history and what happened when a primitive society was introduced to an advanced one. See how that worked out for native Americans.

either way the fuckers have evolved past us so why worry, we are in their hands.

Very cool, would I be too dumb for thinking something like this could be a gate that uses the power of the star to make a portal?

Are you talking about a wormhole? Creating it and keeping it stabilized would require a massive amount of energy. A star would be a great source, although it wouldn't be enough. It requires more energy than the sun will put out during its entire lifetime. One question: How do they determine where they'll end up if they go into the hole? That's the bigger issue.

its a little bigger

What's bigger a little bigger or a little bigger's baby?

That sounds like a great way to harvest energy from a star, maybe not for a portal but who the hell knows?

hell does know. it's for a barbecue folks.

Well that solves it, I’m fucking stupid then, I was kind of hoping it was down to use for over a couple of decades and it had just melted my brain cells away, no I’m just plain dumb. Interesting article, though.

thats why you gotta keep it on the daily :)

It seems they are saying that previous studies did not control for other factors like alcohol, but doesn't nearly every adolescent mess with both?

Gonna need an alternate explanation for whats up with you biggaz :)

yes this is a relief to know!

it's like 2001 and the monolith is a hash bar

i always thought it was the little biggy server

Hootan sapphire scout review

And also I'm very new here lol have no idea about the little groups or whatever goes on. Just want all us stoners to have a laugh on here really lol I love the place

I do agree though that some reviews seem too good to be true but who knows lol

They aren't certain ones though that's what I'm saying. I've been giilty of giving a 10/10 just based on how quick and how decent it looked so I diluted those ratings and im sure I'm not the only one. (I know I'm stupid lol but it was my first couple orders)I just thought if people put up a date and pics on their review on here we could all look... Kind of a way of us all keeping each other updated on what's great at the time

I think that's a great idea, like a {Review} section the way the others are set up. I find myself trying to find actual in depth reviews before I buy and on the other hand, I also find myself writing them while I'm high. My reviews probably aren't great but I still enjoy doing them and feel it contributes (in a small way) to LB.

No I love that man a review being written whilst high is great. Definitely shows the product is working I guess haha! It's good that people like yourself take the time to write in depth shit keeps me entertained for hours reading through everything. Would like dates though lol

I'm the same. I stumbled across LB randomely while searching online during the lockdown and immediately I thought that the community and products on offer were fantastic. Reading peoples reviews is what made my go for my first purchase with TGT so it obviously has some sort of positive knock-on effect. The timestamps would be nice but I asked about it somewhere before and I think the main issue was security or something. To each their own in that regard though I think.

I guess if it's security issue then fair enough would just be soooo mcuh easier haha...yeah brand new to me too and like you, I like what I see aswell. Can't wait to try out a few other things out and expand my knowledge on here

If there is something like this already then I'm sorry I couldn't see it

Thanks! Can you explain what red flags you see? I only use a few sellers but would like to know what danger signs to look for.

Hey mate, no problem. You should keep an eye out for the following...

Low effort profiles: No product photos, bad grammar, no branding, no proof (username & date) in photos, low quality/effort pics, pics from google.

Pricing: If it looks to good (cheap) to be true, it is. If you see bad pricing like $15 for 1 gram and $45 for 2 gram - this is also a warning sign.

Vendor personality: A honest vendor should answer any questions/concerns in a friendly and customer service orientated manner. Look out for aggressive sellers, if they want your money that badly then something is up.

Unusual behaviour: A vendor should NEVER try get you to finalize a sale away from littlebiggy, if they do they are most likely trying to steal your money. No matter what reason they give you, it's likely a lie to get you away from the protection of escrow.

We are the community, that's the premise and why looking for someone to save you - that's antiethical to how it works here,

There's a whole miserable world outside of people ready to exploit fears. I like to think of little biggy as a sanctuary from that.

Precisely!!!

it doesnt require authority the solution can be decentralized. why not limit visibility on new sellers?

I don't want anyone to save me. I want the community to be at less risk and the fact that this premise has any opposition at all astounds me.

Also, each of your paragraphs contradict the other, so I'm not sure what you really mean.

Addresses will be at risk while sweetdreamz is here trusted vendors should only be able to recommend new vendors this would stop banned vendors and make the community safer because lets face sweetdreamz will keep changing accounts if nothing gets done its been proven then he just plays the victim

And it will stop the same banned vendor from leaking addresses again its the only way to stop it when you are dealing with someone who keeps making new accounts

how would vendors be any better at finding sweet dreams next incarnation? if anyone is qualified for that its buyers. they have caught it every time.

As long as they are genuine competition is irrelevant

This site has exploded with drama in the last week, I missed the sweetdreamz saga but I've read about what happened.
Sounds a massive bellend.
What proof do you have that Ronald maybe the same guy?

Soon as i put becareful with addresses on his page another vendor account pops up with no items its Ronalds back up account because he knows he is eventually gonna be exposed but like the scumbag he is he will keep coming back sweetdreamz kept my address for a year after ordering this shows how messed up in the head he is and he will just keep coming back keeping everyone addresses people need to be warned about him

His vendor pictures are similar he was charging the exact same prices as sweetdreamz for his blue skittles shatter and if you look on the items list no other vendor offers 0.5 for 45 dollars only sweetdreamz did that Ronald even makes thc carts guess what so did sweetdreamz and he messaged me a load of waffle one of the messages say can we resolve this like adults what innocent man tries to justify something he has not done lol resolve what if you are innocent and there are many more red flags just remember he is the undisputed champion of making new accounts this is his fourth account atleast

I hope your ok really I’m sure this madness is eating you up inside

this shows you being a lick arse because i knew exactly who you were from the start

Why would I need to lick the ass of a fake Rasta off the internet sort it I was enquiring as to why you were spreading unwarranted shit about me all over the show and you’ve done nothing but help me get my votes up since

you claimed you were new but spammed everywhere for votes if you look at genuine new vendors this would never happen it only happens with you you messaged because you were worried so tried to convince me its not sweetdreamz when it clearly is you come out with the same waffle everytime

Hahahhahahaa what a numpty you are really are you jealous has your dla not come through yet to order some weed off the internet because your scared to leave your house

It’s not possible for ther to be any proof as it is not me but Rasta in on a mission to prove otherwise I’m tired of trying to defend it in which he says makes me more guilty I give up lol time will show I’m legit

just because your ronald account is legit you are still the banned vendor sweetdreamz who cant be trusted with addresses

Look at you still going at old comments LOL

Legit scammer and before you say show me proof people only need to look at your history on lb even has the brains to start another account when you thought Ronald account was at risk shows how desperate you are you are just a scummy street dealer who will say enything to rip people of eny one can put shitty uk weed in a cookies bag and sell it more than its worth but not everyone is a tramp like you you were known for pulling stunts like that you are the definition of Dishonest

my Customers will speak for me you wally sort your own shit your nothing but a name on a forum who looks absolutely doolally

i keep scumbags like from coming back you think its a big joke peoples addresses being shared which shows how scummy you really are

Your obsessed with me you im not interested in people’s addresses that achieves nothing for me

people have eyes there is barely eny thc reviews are irrelevant when it comes to smoke people might think shit weed is good if they dont have a good tolereance so that means nothing

I tell you what I’ll send some to testborg when I get time just for you sweet cheeks do you need a cuddle or anything

That still does not prove you are not sweetdreamz

Nothing you have said makes any sense at all to me it just makes you look more and more crazy every time you obsess over me

Saying stuff like that just makes it even more obvious

Ok have fun with yourself

you are like a fly on shit what a desperate man when will you learn your lesson you are not welcome here after what you did

When will you learn your barking up the wrong tree

am finished there is no more i can say but you will slip up eventually

That’s the thing I’ve nothing to slip up about so I’ll be just fine as long as my customers are happy you are a 100% irrelevant troll on a forum

Look at how fast your rating went up lol there is a difference between interacting and commenting everywhere for votes no new genuine vendor does that only sweetdreamz

Get a grip of yourself man

there is a difference between interacting and spamming the shit out of enything you can find to comment on

Well regardless of your wild conspiracies it says in sellers tips to interact and comment so your gonna find more people to accuse before you know it have a nice day

I know its you so say what you want

Maybe see your shrink about the paranoia or maybe cut down on the unflushed weed it’s fucking with your noggin

You need to get a grip if you think people are that stupid how can we give addresses to someone who is mentally unstable and keeps addresses for when he gets kicked of

You’ve got a cheek to call anyone unstable your a paranoid wreck you can’t go round accusing every new person of bullshit

I think you just make it obvious with your shady business and you are doing the same things as sweetdreamz you are a clown but a insult to Ronald McDonald haha and its obvious you are just a low level street dealer exactly like sweetdreamz like somebody already said there is too many red flags so its best to stay away from you

Yawn

You know absolutely nothing about me or my weed so until you’ve bought some I’m not interested in you you little stalker

im a stalker because i exposed you well done that shows you are starting to panick

Not at all just hope it’s making you feel better

How am i accusing every new vendor how would you know that if your new i accused you because you are sweetdreamz what crank leaks people addresses because they got kicked of you need help and better weed by the looks of it im stating facts and you dont like it you share peoples addresses over 20 dollars and because you got exposed you went on like a fiend for 20 dollars haha

are you not bored of making shit up yet

are you not bored making new accounts and getting kicked of

That’s the thing your not getting i haven’t made one before or after this one what can you not get your head around

Enyone can make shit up lol what are you not getting your head around

Your starting to look desperate

Mr Spock has topic on his page with a link to all sellers ,jobe has a good idea , is to get everyone to vote on it and upvote trust worthy vendors and down vote the scammers , it’s a nice little idea ,someone could set up a page and manage it ,it’s just something to have , all we can do is try , cause until we rumble the dodgy vendors nothing is gonna be done

Yeah that is a good idea. Could be worth doing mate.

Seen your post man , the vendor needs to stop posting we’re he’s posting sort out the stealth , and trial run it again , it’s an accident waiting to happen at the moment , get him to send a few dummy posts see if they get held to , feel for vendor and customers, especially customers though they have all the emotions involved

Shocking isn't it. It's negligence at this point mate. Yeah I'm worried about them going to pick up their packs now man :/

I can see addresses ending up getting leaked again and this time there will be more

You guys have got me wrong man big time and over time you will see you were wrong with me

Interesting one, I don’t like the thought of people losing money either but due to the nature of the business I don’t think it can happen.
It’s a total cliche but we’re given a lot of liberty on here and with it comes some responsibility.
I’d like to think anyone capable of finding this place etc has the basic skills required to conduct their own due diligence.
If someone isn’t comfortable or has doubts they should stay away. I also hope it’s pretty obvious to anyone that’s spent a couple of hours here who the most popular vendors are and who’s a safe bet for a noob.
Vendor reps are earned the hard way and I think it’s pretty fair to say all the top vendors fully deserve their rep so something must be working.

Ultimately I don’t think any system is perfect and there will always be occasional problems especially when people are involved.
Even with a vetting system in place, the situation Panda found them selves in would still have occurred as it was one of the vendors staff attempting to sabotage the business.
I have no idea of numbers but would guess/hope the percentage of problems is tiny compared to successes.
Also, I say all this as someone who’s never had a problem on here and understand some users experiences may differ but still stand by the main point of taking some responsibility for your own decisions.
I totally understand where you’re coming from but until there’s a change in law, unfortunately I see it being nearly impossible to vet. I would like to think if people are careful then risks are really really tiny and are generally kept to the minimum.

We're not just talking about losing money here. People have had their private information leaked online, had the police knocking at their door, and been put on criminal lists. On top of all that, they have also lost money. People in the community are now scared and paranoid, and rightfully so. We are responsible for our own decisions but when the same scamming vendor can sign up several times and collect peoples data over and over again, something needs to be done about that.

I have seen time and time again people stumbling on to this site and having to ask the community how to set up a wallet, buy btc, find a vendor, make a order, pay for a order. It is evident that unsuspecting and naive people sign up all the time, and those are the people we as existing members need to protect.

I disagree, I think as a new member it is overwhelming. You have so many choices and the pressure of making the right one only increases the chances of making the wrong one. It is not immediately clear that shady people operate here. People come in and make a order from the likes of Radar, or Drugs INC and they then assume it will be safe to order from anyone. Even BH got screwed, and I wouldn't call him naive. The issue is not with the big vendors here mate, it's the exact opposite. Despite little to no ratings, people continue to buy off these flash-in-the-pan scammers. I don't understand why it's acceptable on any level.

The system is far from perfect, it actually does the bare minimum. You mentioned responsibility, 95% of the policing here is done by us. We need to collect evidence, report, and convict. The admins just remove the culprit once we've done everything else. I don't see how we can be any more responsible with the system we have been given.

I encourage you to do some digging in to the panda situation mate. People are still receiving unsafe packages that stink, after the worker in question was supposedly removed. You bought that sabotage thing? That situation wasn't handled properly either. At least 2 people including panda have been received letters and the vendor is getting a pass. 2 others got lucky and were not reported, but their packs were reeking. People continue to order unsafe packages. Personally I don't think any amount of people getting busted is acceptable. JJ looks as legit as they come, has plenty of ratings and is very, very active. Yet anyone could easily get screwed by ordering there. I'm not sure how we are supposed to be vigilant about that, or responsible for it.

I don't think the law needs to change, just a few simple changes around here to protect the community. It isn't impossible, and has never even been attempted. No matter how little it may be, I don't think any risk of people being doxxed should be acceptable.

Thank you for joining in the discussion mate. I hope my tone doesn't come across as argumentative.

Hey, no not at all. Its fine, I completely take on board your points but it’s clear we’re coming from very different places on this which is cool. I’d rather not argue, just discuss and find solutions. It’s also clear you’re not the only one with concerns so I guess it’s something that does need looking at.
Saying that, I’ve seen similar points raised in the past and nothing is done once the hype dies down.
I would urge anyone with concerns to gather like minded people and at least attempt to put into action the changes they want to see.

If it’s a case of protecting new accounts from ordering off new vendors, could accounts with less 10 buys be locked off from vendors with less than 50 sales?
Should we only accept new vendors who’ve been bought here via referral?
Should all new vendors be made to send samples out ?
If that’s what people want then at least try and make it happen.
I still think a change in law is the only way you’ll get the buyer protection you want but could user address’s be erased from the order form once the purchase has been rated?
I think anything close to GDPR are going to be impossible to enforce but how could it be better?

Also if someone isn’t happy with how things are run and doesn’t have confidence in the system they don’t have to use this place. The situation with smelling packages is unprecedented but what could have been done differently to prevent it from happening?
I understand everyone wants good stuff and for some it’s medical but while it’s illegal or until members who want changes bring in those changes it’s very much a case of buyer beware. I have every sympathy for people who do get caught out but personally I’ve been well aware of all the above risks and the possibility of having a package intercepted since day one and accept it.
I honestly wish you all the best in your endeavour to get the changes you want.

Getting anything to change on LB is next to impossible, it's hard to mount a movement when the cards are stacked against you from the beginning. It's also hard when a vocal few have an issue with a premise that apparently wouldn't affect them. Your main problem seems to be that posts like this never lead anywhere. I don't think that is constructive to anything.

Some of these suggestions are good. GDPR levels of data protection I'd never expect, however some basic transparency in relation to how vendors handle our sensitive data is a very minor thing to ask for. Putting guidelines in place so that vendors know to practice good OPSEC in regards to our data. These are things I could easily put in to words, but without official backing they would mean nothing.

I understand that you are happy and that's great, however by your logic anyone who has an issue with anything here should just leave. Personally, I don't want to lose 95% of our community. My original post here was about scammers, not bad stealth and JJ, so I'm not sure how we got on to that.

Regardless my opinion on that situation is that of course it could have been prevented! JJ could have practiced better stealth. He got several people busted mate.. not just Panda. That should never have happened and I can't believe it is being accepted, after several more cases of seized packs. That is insane to me. You pretty much just summed up my point? Until we can mount the changes outlined in this post, we as buyers must beware. Getting busted because a vendor practiced bad stealth is not something any of us have accepted, nor should we. There weren't just intercepted at all, these packs were in a horrible state and were begging to be picked up.

Yes I do think posts like this lead to nothing and in my opinion are pretty much pointless unless acted on, constructive or not that’s how I feel.
If like you say 95% of the community has issues then you should be able to make enough noise to get the change you want. You say it’s impossible to get change, but you haven’t even tried.
Going back and forth when we have different opinions is ridiculous. I’ve tried to level with you and see it from your perspective at this point I really have nothing else to say to you.

I would argue that planting a seed is not pointless. It gets people thinking, talking and discussing ideas. Why is this ever a bad thing? I said next to impossible, and am I not trying right now? I'm sorry mate but I thought we would be able to talk without emotions getting involved?

Do you really think having a discussion with people who have opposing opinions to you is ridiculous? It begs the question.. why engage in a discussion in the first place?

Very well said, the acceptable number of fuck ups from a vendor should be 0, and I think repercussions from the site admins would motivate vendors to have a keener eye on what goes on in THEIR business, this could be an increase in fees for selling here or something along those lines. I'm not sure how it works behind the scenes, but something that will keep vendors on their toes.
So far now I have come across 3 separate posts of people that have had stinking packages, this is not acceptable. It's so dangerous man, and I've learned first hand what happens, thank fuck I didn't have a big order. People could be fucking arrested and face court, the buyer is entirely in the hands of the vendor and I think this needs making apparent, maybe as a notice before you actually go ahead and press pay that can serve as a warning.

I agree. These aren't massive sweeping changes we are talking about. Just a little extra protection for the people that keep this site afloat. I think these are all great ideas and a deterrent should be put in place. I'm not sure what kind of compensation, if any, you received but it seems like not much has been done as a result of your situation. I'd hate to think what would have happened if you were ordering quantities that would constitute intent to supply!

That is a really good idea and one easily implemented. People also need to be aware that their data is in the hands of the vendor too. Who knows what is happening with that.

Yeah man a deterrent would be good.
I'm just getting refunded mate, I'd have sooner not have had the police around though instead.
it was only 30quids worth and I can't even spend it on here for a bit now lol
I'd hope the vendors would delete addresses after they have dispatched, but whether this happens and how you police that they do, I don't really have an answer for that

A refund has to be a bit of a slap in the face man.

Well how it's dealt with in the real world is the GDPR. Vendors should be stating exactly what they do with our data. When found to be breaching the rules they ought to be subject to punishment in the form of fines or termination (in the case of SD/DH). I just don't think it will happen with the way things work though. One can dream.

Understand where you coming from feel bad whats happened and changed every aspect of post. Prior to this great reviews and i always resolved any problems. This was major fck up on my part as from not be trusted bit unfair as never had any disputes and refund any body not happy with item. Like the good thing on LB freedom to give advice. Packages that did arrive where before i put new stealth procedure in place

I think you are at least doing the right thing moving forward. You have admitted your mistakes and are working to improve. I didn't say that we couldn't trust you, just that mistakes were made.

Agree I had dispute my last order, he challenged my dispute, I take a 3% hit on my disputes, luckily my rep is good and I won , but a newbie might not stand a chance , stick with trusted vendors for the mean time for me

Yeah exactly mate you are lucky you have a standing in the community, glad you got that sorted though and I feel bad for the scammer that he can't earn a honest living. Newer buyers are also likely to go to these vendors because they don't know they shouldn't. It's a sucky situation for everyone I hate to even be talking about it, but I think we need to protect people more than what is happening.

Would a vendor screening process be that hard to implement. Submit 3 samples to be reviewed on a set minium standard framework, pre- determined by the community? Reviewers would be asked to rate against a standardised benchmark.
Pass the test to be able to trade, I found my reviews insightful and improved my offering. A re- review could be implemented after a set period to keep new vendors focused.

You went about it perfectly mate, offering samples and waiting on reviews before listing. It does annoy me that the clown just pops up out of nowhere asking for top dollar.

All we can do is try warn people, common sense should help , sales when joined reviews etc , We can’t save everyone but the ones we save makes it worth while , just report anything suspicious to clean up borg

True mate just gotta keep on top of it I suppose.

We need staff on site aha

Hi, Use privnote.com it does it for you

Here's a good tutorial

says sites been seized by the FBI

SAYS SITES BEEN SEIZED BY THE FEDS

Thank you, but I'm going to need a notebook and coffee to tackle this!

Jesus reading that I just figured it out! Made my day! xD

Thank you, I understand it's purpose, but that's about it. The public vs private is confusing, as is...well, everything else. I need to work my way through that site again. Times like now I wish I was still teaching. Lol, teenagers taught me most of what I know about smart phones, I'm sure this wouldn't be a problem!

pgp is the anti-teenager tech it's more like some old warlock shit

Lmao, OK, you just gave me a little confidence. So it might be reasonable for an old fart who used Pascal on a mainframe for word processing?

I'll have a pop, fella. it'll shake-out something like the below... (the image is separate from my list, I just listed so I half-assed this :p ). take in the image. then read the text below.

1. install gpg suite (search). the installed gpg keychain software will be used to manage your keypair/s. a keypair is a private key and associated public key.
2. run the software. create keypair using appropriate information... the private key is fyeo. do not give it to anyone.
3. save you public key to your lb profile. so your message recipients can verify you (your signature) and send messages back to you. here lb is the 'trusted source'.
4.get the public key from a trusted source (which here is lb) of who you want to send a message to and save that in the gpg keychain software.
5. you can now send that person a message which is encrypted with the aforementioned recipients public key. you sign it with your private key. so you'd send the encrypted message in lb.
6. the recipient uses their private key to decrypt and read your message, verified as from you by the signature.

i. the reverse (how other reply/send to you) is essentially the same thing.
ii. to do encrypt and decrypt in windows is probably a right-click context menu item in outlook or maybe on a text file, idk tbh because f ms.
iii. yes, there is loads of info missing but should those bits should be more easily searchable.
iv. the ---pgp block--- cypher (header/footer included) is the encrypted message to be sent of decrypted.

Use a browser like Brave, with VPN, and you should be fine.

Don't worry, PGP can be confusing but if you go to a seller you trust, and do the above you'll be safe.

PGP is basically the cherry the on top of the cake. It's not the be all and end all. I've only had one buyer so far who used it, out of over 40.

Keep yourself safe in other ways and PGP is (relatively) unimportant.

Cheers. BB

I made a mistake on my order (noob here) and didnt include the post and packaging. I then 'boght' again with enough to cover the post and packaging. I ahve messaged the vendor x3 now and no reply. Should I just dispute or be patient? The vendor has a great rep so sure all ok and really want the product. Frustrating when you dont get a reply. Order just sitting at 'partially paid'. Cheers

contact transaxe support they will sort it

Thanks. It's all sorted vendor got back to me.

yay. goodonya for posting resolution :)

no, unless you have a relationship established and even then I would hesitate.

to me, communication is the key here. I can handle any problem if the seller let's me know what is going on from their end

I wish this was encapsulated in an lb reputation, a seller that does this frequently should be noted as such.
