Here is the thing about Eroids... The platform is perfectly ideal for sources to be reviewed by peers to create a safe environment for people to read reviews and make informed decisions about their source choices. The way Eroids is set up could be an invaluable tool to all but eliminate scams by fake sources. However, there are a few negative aspects that take away from the experience of what could be a perfectly ideal experience.
If you are a fake source on eroids, you will not make it far, and you will be called out and lynched by the overwhelming mob that is eroids. You hear some people say that sources pay for reviews, and that bad reviews are deleted and it is a scam site. In all of my years of abundant activity on Eroids, this simply isn't true. Like I said, if you are a fake source, you will bombarded with bad press and nothing can stop it. Here is what does happen. The moderators on Eroids are there to protect the sources from getting scammed by members as much as they are there to protect the members from being scammed by sources. Members scam sources more than sources scam members by saying they didn't receive something, or a product was fake, because when they say these untrue things, they expect sources will send them free gear to shut them up. If you have a source with a hundred good reviews, and suddenly a bad one pops up, and you don't have a concise argument with proof of an intent to scam, sometimes the Mods will jump in to protect the source from being scammed by the member.
Here is another thing that happens often. When a good source pops up on eroids with potent gear and good prices and fast delivery time, they are pummeled with customers as soon as word gets out. They can go from having a few orders a week to twenty or thirty orders a day in no time. If a source is not prepared to handle this rapid expansion of business, orders can get backed up and start taking a long time to ship or just get lost in the confusion. A source that gets rapidly popular can get completely overwhelmed and fold. Now the last people to order say they ordered from what said to be a high quality source and got scammed, when the source really was just completely overwhelmed with orders.
A very negative aspect of Eroids are the moderators themselves. They have become megalomaniacs and completely corrupted by their power. Eroids is very popular, and to be in good standing in the community you are at the mercy of the moderators...and they take advantage of that. They take advantage of this to the point that they have become the quintessential trolls themselves. If you are new and want to say something on there about anything, chances are either a senior member or a moderator are going to find something wrong with what you said and shit on you and make you feel stupid. This does not create an atmosphere of free thought and open discussion.
With all of the potential Eroids has of being a great source discussion forum, as with everything, the people, moderators and users alike, ruin the experience of a good theoretical platform.
