pill reports-compulsory testing?

[MunkE Mc]

I was searching through pillreports recently and noted the lack of tested pills on there
i thought hay maybe we should make it so you can only report on a pill if you have tested it, but a few seconds later i realised the problems this could create
eg. people making up results or untested pills that had really negative effects not being able to be reported on
it's just i find a pill report is usless unless it has a test result
also im amazed at the number of diff types of pills out there, and the weird symbols
now i realise why ppl say there is nothign but crap pills out there, im guessing 99% of the pills are crap
i guess some of us are more lucky than we realise in having good contacts

I was thinking more along the lines of making it so you couldnt post an 8, 9 or 10 unless you had the pill tested. It wouldnt be too hard methinks to add validation to the pill submission so that you couldnt give a pill a high mark unless it was tested. I suppose this might still lead to what you said munke but a report in my opinion is 100% better if it has a pill test oh and 200% better if its a black result

Yeah well I would have to agree. Pill reports piss me off if they don't have an e-z test, but that’s only because I use them now. People that have never used one before don't know how helpful they can be so I guess it doesn't bother them if the colour changed from purple to black or to green for that matter. I think if they don't e-z test their pills it should be compulsory to write a long report on exactly what the pill looked like, tasted like and what the effects were, sometimes I find it more helpful than a bloody $40 e-z test. Thank fuck they are cheaper now!

Although I would prefer to have EZtest results for a report, any info is better than no info on a pill. I do like the idea about not being able to rate above 6-7 without test results...

Not everyone tests though.
Id rather have people post what is out there (remember we want whats good and bad). I'd like to think we can rely on the EZ test results.
If we had such restrictions people would put "yes" to it being tested "Coz my dd tested it and he said it went black"....nah, thats not good enough.
We want info on every pill out there...and we want to be able to rely on the results of what has been tested

i'm thru being patient... i just want everyone to test... can't see many reasons why everyone can't now...

 

[MOTOMAN]

Yep, I guess with e-z tests being cheaper now, everyone should be testing their pills for there own safety but I have tested a few pills that have gone from purple to black, gave all the readings of a good pill and they have been shit! I think there has to be more said about the pills, don't just rely on the e-z test.

I know it would probably be heaps of work but it would be ace to have a posting spot specifically for good pill, is this at all possible johnboy? I am totally computer dumb so if this is a far fetched idea please don't yell at me too much

what exactly do you mean by good? im guessing you mean legit MDXX pills that test purple/black...
well if people used the rating system properly there would be no problem. at the moment only pills rated 8 and above are required to have an ez-test result.
i think that it should apply to all pills rated 7 or more...
this means if you do a search on pills rated 7 or more (and hopefully everyone has played by the rules) you will only see "good" pills

Motoman: funny u should mention the black/purple test, but unimpressive pill thing. I had this conversation with someone last night outside the Soulfuric rave, here in Perth. This guy (someone i could sorta call a mate) said that pills i had tested to be good (ie black/purple) were in fact crap.
Instead of a the classic E exp., he said he felt slightly tingly, but mostly he thought the pill was a touch speedy (he later told me that he had a line early in the night, so no suprise bout the speedy feeling). He suggested that my pillreports rating of 7/10 was overly generous, suggesting 2/10 was more like it.
Fortunatley i had used, on various occaisions, with at least 3 mates each time, about 20 of these babies myself. We all found these pills to be pretty cool, just a little weak. Basically, u weren't gonna rediscover the world on just one pill, but anymore than one was gonna give u a cool time, and that is what i put in my pillreport.
Having read the report, and disregarding my advice, this guy proceeded to purchase a single pill, resulting in his lack of satisfaction. Now neither of us r gonna pull a shot gun out and waste the other for *dissin my gear*, or *selling shite*. He realises that i would not have intentionally set him up for a shitty night, so no issues there.
But, to the point, i personally rate a weak MDMA pill (weak within reason) infinantely higher than any "kickass" speedbomb. I would happily fork out the extra $$$ for an extra half or 2, to feel a full MDMA rush. Plus, buying decent amounts (30-60) means that we usually pay in the mid-low $30's price range, which for Perth is not bad, standard price is mostly $50. So, its cheaper for me to drop 1 1/2 pills that i know r weak MDMA than it is for me to take a risk on the night and buy something that might be stronger, but also might be horse tranquiliser.
Anyway, sorry for rambling (its 6:00pm and i just got outta bed), I am not trying to justify, or defend weak pills, just suggesting why u might get a pill to test good, but not be impressed on the night.

Put it this way, a pill that is worth having should do you for the whole night, I know it doesn't work out that way but I limit myself to 2 pills a night and if they don't work the way they should, then they are shit pills in my mind.
