Bluelight Crew
First, let me welcome you to Bluelight and our forum - Other Drugs. We hope that we can be of assistance to you, and that you will learn something from us as a member of the BL community. We have many intelligent posters who can be a valuable tool in the quest to become educated about drugs.
We are aware that on many other forums - especially forums discussing drugs and drug use - it is not uncommon for there to be a rule requiring you to use the acronym "SWIM" (someone who isn't me) when posting information that could be considered incriminating. When talking about drugs at all can be considered incriminating, it's not unusual to SWIM used in almost every post.
However, Bluelight does not conform to this "rule." In fact, we frown upon the use of SWIM.
Other forums believe that using SWIM will protect you from any legal ramifications. This is simply not true. If you were taken in for any drug related charges brought upon by your postings on drug forums, the use of SWIM will not protect you. Judges and prosecutors see right through it. Because of this, the regular posters on Bluelight and law enforcement agencies pretty much assume that when someone posts using SWIM, that they are just talking about themselves.
Also, when you use SWIM, chances are, people won't read your post. It makes it very difficult, and often confusing, to read and understand what you are saying. Because of these reasons, we don't allow the use of SWIM. It can and will be handled in a few ways. Either we will close the post, asking you to re-write it without the use of SWIM, ask you to go back and edit out every use of the SWIM, or go in ourselves and change every SWIM into "I." Or, we could just ask you to stop using it in future posts.
So, keep all this in mind next time you are posting here on Bluelight, and hopefully you enjoy our forums and stick around for a while. There are plenty of friendly, welcoming posters throughout the site that would love to welcome you in and get to know you.

) about the past - there is no evidence (i.e. the drugs have been consumed - there is no evidence to any crime), so this is why so many people in Blue Light can post about what they do.
