Ok I got a bitch about PR...

[Xyzpdq0121]

Ok let me apologize first to ravenousblonde (or any other PR Mods) for anything that I say that might come off the wrong way because I know that ya'll do your best to keep PR in line. (And try to do a great service to us e-tarded public out here! We do thank you!) But I got to get something off my chest. I am going through a few reports over the past 24 hours (my brain has been numb if you know what I mean) and I have come across a TON of crappy reports lately.

Example #1

First off, if you can not post a pic (which I know is hard to take a good detailed pic of a pill) then make sure you describe the pill so there is no doubt to what you had is/isn't what I have... Don't post, "It was a blue pill with a stamp that used to be there but is no longer there!" What good does that do? So now I know there is a blue pill floating around out in Kalamazoo, MI that worked well for you.

Second, if you think there is meth in the pills but don't know it could have been the starbucks you had earlier but then again you did snort some coke that could be it too, listen do not waste my time and worry the general public about what could be a good roll. If you can not stay on 1 drug for the night or know the difference between the drugs, do not post! If you can not stay on one type of pill or drug then buy a testing kit (which you should do if you are going to post a pill out there for the world, IMHO).

It has just started to peturb me that I see reports like, "Well I popped the blue star at 12:00 and then the pink panther at 12:15 followed by the white heart at 12:45 and I was all fucked up." Well duh, and now I know if I want to be as fucked up as you what combo to take but you did not tell me crap about the pill. Did they all contain meth or just the white heart? How do you know because God only knows you did not test!

While I am on the subject of Meth, does everyone know what a meth bomb feels like?!? Just wondering because I have been hearing reports of, "Dude I talked to this girl for like an hour and all I wanted to do was talk to her, not blow up. Man that pill must have been a total Meth bomb!!" When you start to rearrange a bedroom by taking all the furniture out and putting it back in just to realize that it is not your room, THAT IS A METH BOMB!!! Belive me, when you get one you will know (And your house will be the cleanest it has ever been!) Wanting to talk and wanting to dance is not. Maybe we need a sticky thread to explain the difference to people! I have a hunch that there are not as many meth bombs floating around out there as people think. (that is totally my theory so please do not flame me for saying that! ) Also just because you melt into the sofa all night does not mean that you got an "H bomb", there is no such thing and if you can't educate yourself on what you are doing, then you need not to not be doing it!

Ok last off, do not get mad at me when I do not give you a play by play of my evening with a 30min time frame of what I am feeling. (Sorry RB this is where I might piss you off!) I am not your lab rat. I am taking the pill to have a good time and enjoy myself. I do not look at a clock, I do not allow some one to even say "Oh it is 4:00am" around me. I do not want to know nor do I care! I will tell you what I felt over all, what my impression of the pill was, how long it too to kick in for me, and how was the come down and the day after. THAT IS IT!!! After the kick in, you are on your own to record your own play by play.

Ok that is my rant for right now and I feel much better! Thanks for listening!!!

Example #1

Don't apologize for voicing your opinion. That's what these boards are here for. And, believe me when I say it takes a lot to offend me and TRS (therollingstoner, our "big cheese" mod on the North America section of PR.com)! He's here on BL as well...I'll give him a shout to make sure he visit this thread.

First off, if you can not post a pic (which I know is hard to take a good detailed pic of a pill) then make sure you describe the pill so there is no doubt to what you had is/isn't what I have... Don't post, "It was a blue pill with a stamp that used to be there but is no longer there!" What good does that do? So now I know there is a blue pill floating around out in Kalamazoo, MI that worked well for you.

We mods try to come behind the posts you describe and ask extra questions that try to better describe a pill if it's a questionable stamp/press/ect. Since there are a lot of people obtaining pills in (what I see as) questionable areas (i.e., random people in nightclubs), then immediately eating them, I think light and setting, along with anxiousness clouds their vision...along with their memory. Most of the time other users (or us mods) will comment with a link to a pill (w/a pic) we think the poster may be describing. Sometimes you have to read all the comments to get a more thorough description of the pill itself.

Second, if you think there is meth in the pills but don't know it could have been the starbucks you had earlier but then again you did snort some coke that could be it too, listen do not waste my time and worry the general public about what could be a good roll. If you can not stay on 1 drug for the night or know the difference between the drugs, do not post! If you can not stay on one type of pill or drug then buy a testing kit (which you should do if you are going to post a pill out there for the world, IMHO).

Personally, I agree with most of what you said above, especially the testing kit requirements. However; we don't live in a perfect world...and we have to take what we can get, so to speak. I agree that posts should be generally about ecstasy and ecstasy only (not: "oh yea dude, I snorted this line of coke when I was peakin' and omfg it was incredible, ya should try it!"), and I know that it's annoying when you get the "multiple drug use" report when you're looking for a *pill* report.

You just have to take reports like that with a grain of salt. Use your judgement.

It has just started to peturb me that I see reports like, "Well I popped the blue star at 12:00 and then the pink panther at 12:15 followed by the white heart at 12:45 and I was all fucked up."

See above ^^^, that's another judgement call.

Ah, one of my favorite subjects. Methstasy! lol

Yeah, it only takes one good cracked out day after (speaking from experience here) to know the difference between a meth bomb and a tab with caffeine. In my opinion, most of the younger users these days don't realize that meth isn't supposed to be in your pills, along with other DARE myths (hence the heroin and cocaine being in your pills myths, courtesy of the 'War on Drugs', IMO) and other such fallicies.

Not only that, but meth seems to be a popular drug in certain areas. I'm wondering some of the newer users even know it could be in their pills, because it's so readily available on every street corner. (As is the case in my area.)

I also think that some people that don't have much experience with ecstasy could easily mistake the intial rush of meth to be a sudden come up from mdxx. You get the tingles, energy, a sense of euphora...to someone who has only rolled a few times and was not thoroughly educated about what they were taking, it could feel the same as an ecstasy rush. (That is, until the music starts sounding very annoying, paranoia sets in, and you want to find a rock to crawl under and hide...)

Perhaps I should post a thread with asking for people to describe their experience/feelings on adulterated pills with meth. I have only had one total "meth bomb" (I love my Marquis!), so I'm afraid my account alone wouldn't suffice.

Ok last off, do not get mad at me when I do not give you a play by play of my evening with a 30min time frame of what I am feeling. (Sorry RB this is where I might piss you off!)

THAT IS IT!!! After the kick in, you are on your own to record your own play by play.

Nah, you didn't piss me off at all! I know everyone has different ways of reporting. If you go back in my reports, you'll notice that not *all* my reports are that detailed....lol I don't ask that anyone else give 'my kind' of reports either! All *we* (PR.com) ask is more than 4 sentences, with a 'round about' time frame. (ie, how long it lasted, not just: "I took one of these and rolled for hours, great pill, energetic, grab these if you can!" I personally thought your report was great! I know I post longer reports sometimes, and that's mainly because I roll at home w/hubby (and occasionally friends), and I play the role of "DJ" at my house...lol My laptop is easily spliced into my home stereo and TV (for iTunes Visualizer), so I end up in front of the 'puter a lot, doing the "request" thing. :D I always have my "Stickies" program running (i.e., "Notepad" for us Mac users) and I'll post a shorthand note when I'm around the 'puter. Plus, I admit, I'm a stickler for details. :/

There's no set format for how long your report has to be. You don't have to give exact times. Of course, reports that do not give useful information (see above references!) will go into the Chapter 13 file, but a "roundabout" time frame is always nice to have.

Ok that is my rant for right now and I feel much better! Thanks for listening!!!

And thanks for giving us feedback. It's always welcome. "We" can't fix what we don't know is broken.

The future phases of pillreports.com will have more features to hopefully cut down on useless reports, I'm told. I know as mods we (myself and TRS, that I can speak for) aren't always the most loved or popular, but please try to see our side, too. If we deleted every report that didn't hold up to some kind of strict guidelines...face it, there wouldn't be many reports to look at. This is the best reference we rollers have nowdays for pill reporting, along with the forums here at Bluelight. Just use your common sense, and when you start 'hanging around' pillreports.com, you'll get a better 'feel' of it. It's a wonderful harm reduction tool, but nothing can replace common sense and your own judgement.

Thanks for reading RB. No I was not directing that post at anything that you were doing wrong or that is "broken" with PR. I love the site and what it gives. and now that I have had a good, second day of rest from an "active weekend", I kind of would have worded my post a bit differently. You do a great job on PR as well as TRS. My complaint was toward the people posting the reports. The one report sited (there were to be more but I got lazy ) perturbed me. I know it is not fair to say and I know you rely on the data of users instead of the labs tests of Dancesafe (RIP), but I do not think everyone should give a report. In the example shown, he could not tell what the pill had in it. (First it was clean, then it was still clean, then it was caffeine, then it was maybe meth but pretty sure it was caffeine, then it had some meth but a lot of MDMA.)

I guess all in all, I wanted to spur some people into thinking what they might do wrong in their reports and insight a grassroots movement to make better reports. Above all I just wanted to bitch. In no way was that directed toward you or TRS. I have read your comments and see what you are trying to get people to post but I still think some people are too brain dead to absorb that information. I thank you fo all your hard work in what you do.

A thread on what can be in pills and how that feels so you can tell yourself and what isn't in pills might be a good thing. I will share my meth bomb stories (BTW: the rearranging of furniture at someone else house is a true one. )

I didn't think you were really directing ^^^ at me. I figured you were having your "Suicide Tuesday" a bit early. Us old folk need to remember we can't party it up like we used to without paying for it....lol

Eh, don't thank me, really. I love to help out others...it's just good karma, ya know. :D And believe me, I know how it feels when ya need to vent. lol

The people that can't absorb a question are usually the ones who need to stay very, very far away from pills....and sharp objects....

A thread on what can be in pills and how that feels so you can tell yourself and what isn't in pills might be a good thing. I will share my meth bomb stories (BTW: the rearranging of furniture at someone else house is a true one. )

Haha, so you are the one to ask for help when it comes time to move, right?

How about a thread something along the lines of "Common Effects of Adulterants found in Ecstasy Pills"?

Feel free to suggest a new, eye-catching, spiffy thread name, as that's about as creative as my brain can be at the moment.

 

[Xyzpdq0121]

Your brain seems pretty creative ... Better then I can do at 4:00am... Straight and to the point. I like it...

I love pillreports.com too...imagine that! LOL

Seriously though, I love reports like Var's too. People like you are the people who make up pillreports. Teach your fellow rollers how to use pillreports.com (correctly!), and how to give good reports. Kinda like one of those spread the word things, ya know.

I will say, there are VERY, VERY exciting new gadgets and whistles in the works for the newest version of pillreports.com....watch out ya'll....it's gonna be GREAT!

(and no, sorry, I do not know an exact implemention date....please remember that all the staff at www.pillreports.com are ALL volunteers, and there's not a basement full of monkeys banging out code....I don't think....lol)

:::looks around:::

 

[Xyzpdq0121]

Although a basement full of monkeys on the meth bombs they are getting off the streets can bang out some code pretty quick!!! Finally a use for junk pills!!!!
