before they made the new rules a few years ago i met around 10 people off this site by just exchanging emails and never incriminating myself untill i I had met the person and made sure they were legititmate people. researching their posts helped a lot. It just didn't seem likely that a cop sat around on the site for 2 years and has 2k posts just to bust me for a misdemenor.

I never had one problem, and it was awesome.

HOWEVER ....

one day they changed the rules and I didnt know and I got banned for a few months without warning for giving out my email address / discussing sales.

it is a really dumb rule, but its there for a reason and it's a good one in my opinion.

it protects members and the site, and keeps everything legit.

if you dont have the skill or intuition to find other ways to network, you probably shouldn't be doing it anyways.

just sharing a lil personal experience with any of yall that may disagree with it.

peace.
