Immortality Posted December 6, 2022 Hello everyone, I just wanted to ask the moderator team if I have permission to post a YouTube video on Tao cultivation. I sometimes assist a friend of mine in digital matters as he is not too comfortable with unnatural radiation; he has made a video about his experience of cultivating the Tao, but at the very end there is a reference to a related book he has published. I fear that by just bluntly sharing the video it might come across as spam. Hence, I would like to ask the moderator team for permission, and give my kind understanding should permission not be granted. Kindly, Immortality 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dawei did a long investigation with at least several different individuals I recall, and I'm not going to name names. I ask because right now the policy appears a bit nebulous from the attempts to be a bit more universal and open, and some have attempted to slip through the cracks but were caught.

Impossible to name all the variations… All I know is for the few scammers who tried their game recently (some this year), it's good for everyone to remain vigilant (not linking to those threads or citing names--I'm sure you already know).
