Pillreports.com Redevelopment - 2005

[Cowboy Mac]

also people sell pills and tell me, got a 7 on pill reports... stuff like that, it's sad.

The new rating system will not use numbers. It will focus on the pill and eliminate the impression that is rated out of 10.

I got this error today looking at pill reports:

Warning: pg_connect(): Unable to connect to PostgreSQL server: FATAL: connection limit exceeded for non-superusers in /usr/opt/httpd/sites/pillreports.com/www/include/stdfuncs.php3 on line 3

And a bunch of SQL errors after that - I imgaine because the orignial SQL connection failed.

Perhpas the new Pillreports can have a die() function saying something like "pill eports has reached is maximum number of users - please try again soon" if the SQL connection reaches its max instead of alot of gibberish

Nice Tits

[EDIT: There is a note about this on the front page that i didn't read till now saying that this problem will be fixed when its redeveloped]

 

[Cowboy Mac]

That error is not uncommon and that is what the news posts are referring to. The current system code is not documented, is spagetti code, and problems are compounded as it is using PostgreSQL. If anyone is a PostgreSQL developer we would be interested in hearing from them, but it is an inefficient use of our time to repair a system that we will be scrapping (hopefully) very soon. The new system will use php/mySQL.

The focus is on 'ecstasy' which is MDxx, any other pill is adulterated and will be treated so. Personally if you like speed why not buy powder, at least you know what you are getting.

Wouldn't this aid in finding out which pills are adulterated though? Maybe it would increase the amounts of posts about such pills from people actually interested in them while at the same time identifying them for the rest of us? Just an idea, could even incorporate them in the same section as MDxx pills just with a highlighted colour?

I don't quite follow what you are trying to say. MDxx pills will be rated High, Medium, or Low content, and pills that are not MDxx will be classified as Adulterated, and bunk will be Non-Active. Adulterated pills will still have a chemical selection field so more information is conveyed, but the emphasis is put onto the pill rather than a score which can be interpreted the wrong way. The /10 system may give the impression that the experience is rated out of 10, and having a wide variation of points to distribute makes it unnecessarily complicated as it is all subjective with many variables anyway. On the new system if you have an MDxx pill, you will have three options to describe the amount of active content within the pill. It is much simpler and by using text instead of numbers it puts the emphasis on the pill rather than the experience.

um, I REALLY can't be bothered reading this whole thread sorry man BUT

I think two things are very important to include.
a) People need to know how often other users take pills to get an idea of their tolerances. Somebody with a very high tolerance might rate a strong pill a medium and send peopel out to double drop.
b) Some kind of trusted user stauts, either granted by the moderators or based on votes of reliability sorta like e bay

This will be up to the user to put in the comments field. The primary information that will be presented will focus on the factual information. ie. A physical description of the pill, reagent tests, etc. Subjective information such as a user experience or how strong someone thinks a pill is will be limited by the MDxx rating system I mentioned above.

b) Some kind of trusted user stauts, either granted by the moderators or based on votes of reliability sorta like e bay

There will not be trusted users, but registered users will be able to rate the usefulness of reports with a thumbs up or thumbs down voting option to calculate a %. This can be used in filtering results during a search. The emphasis is on the report rather than the user, but it still allows users to filter out reports with a low rated %.

I understand the purpose of pill reports is to rate mdxx pills. What I was trying to say is that if you incorporated speed based pills and k based pills into pill reports (maybe in a different section and as long as they have done reagent tests on them) it would promote more people to use the site even if they prefer to take or knowingly buy speed based pills or k based pills.

At the same time it would help identify what pillreports at the moment considers bunk / adulterated because there would be more pill takers using the site. It would also be in the interest of harm reduction because at the present time most bunk or adulterated pills only get posted if they were sold as ecstacy, meaning someone has to be fooled for the rest of us to find out.

Hope that explains it

Dude,

Y do we need A seperate section for adulterated pills/ speed bombs / k bombs.....

Im sure the new "pillreports" will have all the reported pills on the same page.

All "pills" are sold as ECSTACY (apart from perscription pills... ritolin,dexamphtamines) someone ofcorse has to be fooled to test it ! its just how the whole drug trade works !

i mean Hypotheticaly speaking....
if some guy uneducated in drugs were at a party and his mate said " hey man ive got some Kemetine pills want some"... im sure he would be like WTF ? but if they were called Ecstacy.... im sure he would say yes !

Anyways if someone has pills i straight away think Ecstacy.
Not kematine or speed !
Most people whom use pillreports have some understanding on drugs and would realise that it would be better to obtain kematine and speed in there raw form, not pressed into a pill with a logo on it...

and who would buy a speed pill ?

 

[TheYellowDart]

dialated665: I've known dealers in the past who have sold ketamine pills as ketamine pills. Not everybody can obtain ketamine powder or liquid vials. There is a trade in ketamine pills as ketamine pills, not just ketamine pills passed off as mdma pills. That being said, I don't think we should have different pill contents being placed on different sections of the site. This removes the ability to see a chronological listing of all postings. I think that you should be able to be more specific than just "Adultrated" in the pill contents field and have this field searchable.

 

[Cowboy Mac]

There won't be a seperate section for amphetamine and ketamine pills as people need to have all the recent reports displayed on a single page rather than sifting through multiple areas. If you want to display only ketamine/amphetamine pills you can filter a search by content.

fairz enough yellow dart... learn somfink new every day:D

But what i was trying to say is PILLS in our druggie language generally means Ecstacy mostly uneducated drug users think this... agreed.

so pillreports.com is for Ecstacy

Really, people post anything up there.... i've seen some geezer post a report on a White Mitsubishi and he wrote in the comments that it had some oil leaks and a faulty starter motor.... i found this quite funny but also stupid...... and im sure the moderators delt with that user...

 

[Cowboy Mac]

Without trying to get off topic, ecstasy these days is simply a drug sold in pill form on the street. It doesn't guarantee it will have MDMA in it, and pillreports.com is for any pill being passed off as MDMA.

Hey cowboy mac...

Sorry if someone's already asked this earlier in the thread, but do you have an estimate of how long it'll be before the first stage is back from the programmers and ready to use?
It's just that the current site has now reached the point where my PC can't access it at all. It's not personally a big deal for me because 1) i test my pills, and 2) i'm having a couple of months off anyway, but i know that's not the case for everyone.

sorry to be impatient, but i was just wondering.
you're doing a great job, man!

 

[Cowboy Mac]

The programmers have the documentation with the functionality, but it is now up to them when it gets done. Remain patient, and I will post in this thread when I have a better idea.

 

[notneo]

I didn't mean it was necessary to place ketamine / speed pills in a different area I was just saying that as an idea to alow them to be given a rating rather than simply stamped as adulterated.

Sure it is preferable to get ketamine and speed in their proper form but if you're out and about it's really whats available most times.

I sitll think its a good idea because people actually do buy speed based pills and ketamine based pills actually knowing what they are because that is what they want.

Another good reason for this would be because people actively sourcing these sorts of pills would frequent the site more often (to see what sorts of pills are available for them) you would be able to identify what other users consider adulterated pills faster.

I'm sure you all know what I mean by now lol...

 

[ld50 vs ssri]

Pills that do not contain MDxx should be labeled as adulterated pills and/or potentialy harmfull. Im sure most people that purchase pills expect to be getting MDxx.

Sure it is preferable to get ketamine and speed in their proper form but if you're out and about it's really whats available most times.

If people keep accepting adulterated pills, they will continue to be sold.

A soloution may be, to purchase a reagent tester and buy your pills before heading out.

Under the new system pills will no longer be given a rating at all unless the poster decides to give it one in the comments field (which for all I know may well be made against the guidelines).

The new guidelines are still to be written, but people using the old /10 scoring system within comments won't be allowed.

Errors Fixed
The errors that the site has been throwing recently should be fixed now and the site should load correctly every time, however it still runs slowly and we are looking to fix this as soon as we can. The programming team have informed me they are looking to start development on the new system based on the functionality we have submitted to them in one to two weeks time. When further updates come to hand they will be posted.

its slow, but at least it loads every time again!
