Can I ask why this needs to be a rule? Okay, I can understand not allowing public conversations about obtaining medication illegally, but why ban discussion of obtaining it legally or asking for help privately?

Obtaining it legally is fine, but it's specifically obtaining "medication illegally, without prescription or without consultation of a doctor" that is not allowed.

My guess would be that your post may have been an indirect referenece to circumventing the approved method of getting medication. Drew wants to make sure the ONLY discussion on obtaining prescription drugs is through doctor supervision. The only exception, to me, would be how to save money through Government assistance or choosing another pharmacy to have it filled. Discussing outside methods through PMs and such could get people in trouble. If it is kept to personal e-mail, then any risk of trouble is in your court.

That's a rule Drew came up with. It was just today. He is just trying to remove responsibility of the illegal obtaining of medications from the site.

The way I understand it, the rule is that you can't make a post asking for people to PM or email you about info on illegally obtaining medication. I don't see why this should be against the rules as long as it's not publicly discussed...
I doubt that the rule is "you cannot PM about illegally obtaining medication" because why make a rule that can't possibly be enforced? |

Obtaining Medication
Posts that discuss obtaining medication online legally or otherwise are not allowed and will be locked, edited or removed. Additionally, asking for advice via post, PM, or email on how to obtain medication illegally, without prescription or without consultation of a doctor is not allowed. I'm having to read this again; this has never come up because it should never be an issue. Asking somebody for this kind of information through media directly pertaining to this site is prohibited. You can use personal e-mail, but if the correspondence can be traced back to SAS in any way, Drew (and possibly the moderation team) is held responsible.

^ I wondered the same thing. How will anyone else know what is being sent in a pm or email?

It's not something that's actively enforced, but it's a rule nonetheless. Just as most free email accounts have rules regarding accepted use of the email account.

I would wonder this as well. While I 100% agree that discussions on illegally obtaining medication should not be allowed, I wonder how the ban on discussing this via PM will be enforced. Are mods reading our PM's now? I find that a bit disturbing. |
