reporting possible cop activity here at shroomery

less than five minutes ago, a registered user baited me to release some contact information pertaining to a 'PNW' meeting in vancouver (it states that i live in vancouver on my bio). after i told him i was 19, he started pressing me for my telephone number so i could 'validate my identity'. i declined, called him a cop and he backed off saying "oh, youre probably a cop, nevermind".
has this ever happened to anyone else here? -i have not given the online name of the dude in question pending excuses/followups, but if this sort of thing has happened to anyone else, perhaps a 'blacklist' could be established?
hint: hes got 5mushroom rating.

I've gotta say, someone pm'd me on this board and asked me to tell them where I live. They offered no personal information and I never replied. I deleted the message and I disregarded it. I don't remember who wrote it. This happened right after I registered. I think there is someone having fun with the n00b's. Everyone has a 5 shroom rating. The green shrooms are a better guideline. Some people have meetings. Especially Canadians 'cause it is mostly legal for 'em to shroom. Whoever is doing this, they aren't putting n00b's at ease. Perhaps they should offer a little personal information before asking for some. Perhaps they should realize this isn't the place to ask for personal information. Just use your head don't say anything stupid, and, if you suspect a narc, treat them as a nark. Until your doubts are removed. I wonder if this has happened to anyone else. I'd like to think cops are more subtle than this twat. Consider yourself initiated to the world of The Shroomery. You are only at risk if you admit to actually growing psylocibes where they are illegal. Then the cops would have to work on getting a search warrent. If they got it, they could do something. Chances are you don't even fit into this category. Even if you do grow, they realy want to catch trafficers, not small scale growers who grow for personal consumption.
