[The Anonymizer]

Due to the recent Almost300 issue and in general all the scammers who have come and gone across ALL the boards in the past couple years, I think I might have a solution. Sources might not like this at first, but I think members will like it, and in turn I think it would amount to more orders for the sources.

"SOURCING INSURANCE"

Much like auto, home, or commercial insurance, the source would basically prepay an insurance policy that would act as collateral if they ever decided to scam in the future, however near or far that would be. Here's how it would work:

1) in order to source at all on this board, every source (new or existing) would make a deposit to me in the amount of $1,000. Any new source that doesnt have a $1,000 cushion is operating to tightly and is probably a sign he will either sacrifice quality for one reason or another in the future, or disappear with his customers money the first time a powder order gets snagged by customs.

This $1,000 will be held, and personally guaranteed by me. If the source doesn't trust me then I dont care, and I dont know why they would want to source here in the first place. The dates of these deposits will be posted in the open forum for everyone to see, just in case theres any doubt about me staying honest and saying that I never recieved the deposit.

2) Source fees will be simplified to $150 per 6 months. No 3 months terms, and no 12 month terms. Its just too complicated for me to keep up with. Source fees will still be paid at the beginning of sourcing here at the same time as the deposit.

3) If the source decides to discontinue his sourcing here, the full $1,000 deposit will be returned to him, minus money transfer fees or postage fees, however he chooses to recieve it.

4) If a member is ever scammed by an insured source, then that member will be reimbursed for the full amount of what was lost once he shows proof of payment in the form of a WU transaction and corresponding email proof.

5) If multiple members are scammed, then the $1,000 deposit will be split between them in their corresponding percentages of the total amount lost.


This is up for a vote. The vote will run for 1 week or until at least 50 members vote.....hopefully there will be alot more.

Sources are allowed to vote as well.


If this bill gets passed but it scares away all the sources, and none of them trust me enough to put their money where their mouth is ("i'll never scam, i'm the most honest source there ever was") and it means that AnonBB will never have another source, then so be it. But if only one source buys insurance then you can bet that source is gonna be slammed with orders!

If you vote this is a bad idea i'll never bring it up again.
