Lately there has been an increase in threads and private messages relating to the purchase or sale of steroids and other ancilliaries, collectively referred to as 'illicit substances'.
Muscletalk is not in any way, shape of form, a source referral service. If this is your intention, you have come to the wrong place. We do not care where you obtain your items, we are only here to discuss the usage of such products.
May I once again draw your attention to the
registration rules to which you all supposedly read and agreed to upon joining the board. They state:
THE SALE OF ILLICIT PERFORMANCE ENHANCING DRUGS MuscleTalk is not a place to sell or buy illicit substances. Please refrain from such postings. These will not be tolerated in any way. i.e. NO source postings - abuse of this will lead to immediate removal of the offending post and the banning of the offending member - YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.
MuscleTalk, its owners and any company or competition federation it's associated with, do not support the use of illegal perfomance enhancing drugs. Please consult your doctor before commencing prescription medicine.
It is also strongly suggested that you do not post on the forum asking for a source of anabolic steroids and related drugs. These posts will be edited.
Also prohibited is discussion regarding the manufacture or prices of illicit substances.
It is also against the rules to contact MuscleTalk members directly trying to sell performance-enhancing drugs. Unscrupulous suppliers have been known to Private Message members, and whilst the moderators do everything we can to proactively stop this, members are suggested to ignore such emails for their own protection and report the email to an appropriate moderator. Again this is for the protection of members. Any violation of this rule will lead to immediate barring - again YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED. What's more, every time you click 'Post new Thread' or 'Reply to Message' there is another helpful reminder in bold red font stating:
MuscleTalk is not a place to sell (or buy) illicit substances. Please refrain from such postings. 'Illicit' refers to any product that is not legally sold over the counter (ie without a prescription) in the UK. For example, if you walk down the high street, into one or two supermarkets, into Boots or Lloyds chemists and cannot buy it in any of these places, chances are it is 'illicit'.
These rules apply to all MuscleTalk members, not just those who choose to comply. There has been many instances whereby members accounts have been terminated where they have been found to be breaching the rules.
So, just to summarise so it's clear to all:
1 - No source requests
2 - No source discussion of any shape, kind or form
3 - No contact by Private Message relating to sourcing (and yes, pm's can be retrieved by MuscleTalk)
4 - No price discussion
5 - No home-manufacture discussion (homebrew) Some of you are apparently still having problems understanding these five simple rules, so for those folk for whom English is not the first language and instead just appear to make words up as you go along, I enlisted the help of my 12 year old nephew to act as an interpreter for number 6 just for you:
6 - Wntng a sorce for stedz. Tuff coz cnt tk abt dem in neways cos it brks dem rulez innit Also, just to clarify a couple of finer points:
Discussion relating to illicit substances and the crossing of borders; either on person or by mail -
Not permitted. Too many of these threads descend into suggestions of 'shady practises' by which the illicit substances
may avoid detection.
Discussion relating to the steroid law of specific countries -
Permitted. Queries relating to whether it is permissable to buy steroids in other countries is fine, providing sourcing information is avoided. Discussion on how such products might be logistically brought or sent back to the UK is not permitted, except for discussion relating to the UK importation laws.
Should you have found a source but unsure whether they are likely to scam your @rse, you may contact a steroid forum moderator who may or may not have heard of them. If your prospective source is a known scammer, it will be useful to you to know about it!
Thanks.
