From Bluelight drug forum.
"Other forums believe that using SWIM will protect you from any legal ramifications. This is simply not true. If you were taken in for any drug related charges brought upon by your postings on drug forums, the use of SWIM will not protect you. Judges and prosecutors see right through it. Because of this, the regular posters on Bluelight and law enforcement agencies pretty much assume that when someone posts using SWIM, that they are just talking about themselves.
Also, when you use SWIM, chances are, people won't read your post. It makes it very difficult, and often confusing, to read and understand what you are saying. Because of these reasons, we don't allow the use of SWIM. It can and will be handled in a few ways. Either we will close the post, asking you to re-write it without the use of SWIM, ask you to go back and edit out every use of the SWIM, or go in ourselves and change every SWIM into "I." Or, we could just ask you to stop using it in future posts."
