The reason the other thread was locked is because all the negative talk about the mods. It was a personal question for the mods. So any other users really had no buisness in there. And when shit talk started Riu decided to lock it.
You guys need to chill out. You are doing this to yourself. And Hempie I thought you would be chilled by now. Maybe we should try different measures.
when i get singled out i tend not to take it easy. all it does is piss me off and when it continues to happen well. the only attacks i have seen are against me and not against any mod. what video stated in his thread was the lack of help that he received and the fact that he was ignored.me and stayed on topic discussing that the same had happened to me. then he asked my what my problem was and we began discussing that. i have no problem with this site or any other mod but you widow maker. you act as though i and any other person on this site should be kissing your ass.and thats where you went wrong.

i say ban me hell ban my ip address it changes every 48 hrs. when you put the infraction on my account people PM'd you on their own and told you it should not have happened and that i did not deserve that.i then spoke up about it and so you ban me for a day.and delete my post and for what? because i was right? you seem to be making up your own rules as you go as i have yet to break any of the rules of this site.

i in no part of my thread said i needed a mod or my negativtiy....first off i thought mods were picked on the fact that they knew quite abit about the plant an to pass it along to those who dont know..so yes you are our weed guides or at least susposed to be...an why should i leave i have little contact anymore with anymod after i had verbal fistfights with one because he was wrong an couldn't awnser back with anything other ima ban you...thier are a few people on here that are cool that i still talk to....also in that thread that was closed were speaking bad about the mods we were just stating simple facts..an facts cannot be construed as bad mouthing...nazies

We all have freedom. We choose to come to this site. Whatever way they choose to govern the site is their deal. Right, wrong, or indifferent, in your eyes means nothing and shouldn't be perceived a personal attack. Do we pay the bills, maintain the servers? No...now you can say "oh we pay the bills because we come here". You come here because of the service provided, a growing community service. Take it for what it's worth, but if it's a situation that you can't find a mod online, doesn't that give the impression that the site is actually letting people govern themselves, with very little interjection? Come on now this place is a good site.

not when mods go against the 1 thing rui wants to protect on this site. freedom of speech. but then again you would need to know the full story. alot have pm'd me and have agreed with what ive said. so im not wrong. i like this site and most of its people and it appears as though they like me. i just wish some wrongs would be righted. but some mods have taken things too far and have made it to where if you speak up about things things you will be punished

Idk, the way I look at it, it is what it is. Is it really punishment though? I do admire you for speaking your mind the only place where we might differ is that the reprecussion wouldn't be percieved by myself as punishment. I'm sure if I said anything out of line, they would handle there business, and as I would mine. No rollitup for a couple of days....."sh** happens". A permanent ban, "it was fun while it lasted". IDK, i just don't see it as personal, it's whatever.

Look guys. The reason noone answered the thread is because we have no power to change a username. The thread went up and all the sudden it went south. I for one do not spend all my waking hours on here. I have a life too. And its not my fault that the guy post the same username in different forums and now someone knows information about where he lives. I didnt do that. I dont use any photobucket shit. I upload to the site and that way it stays on this site and not a billion other sites that have personal info of me. So with that being said maybe you can understand why no one jumped in the thread.

As a moderator my job is to move/edit threads. We pretty much have are own sections we take care of but we can mod each others sections if need be.

Example: If a hydroponic question is in the soil section then it needs to be moved. (Thats for you Azgrow)

My job is to keep peace between users. If I see insults between users I am to warn /infract or ban. If I see spam we are to ban imeadiatly. Other than that as long as you are nice to each other you will be fine.

But one thing that is not in my job description is to be everyones personal grow guide. I get 5-10 pm's a day from users. Some are very good questions. Some are 15 yr old kids. I can tell by the things they say and how they type. Anyways I cant answer everyones stuff every day. And if you have zero post I will most likely blow you off. So now I hope everyone can understand why they dont get special attention from mods. Report a post and it will get taken care of. But ask some grow questions without asking the forum and see what happens. Nothing.

It was also mentioned that mods are all grow guru's. Thats simply not true. Look at skunk. He cant even grow hair. lol. I apoligize, I have not been very helpfull lately. I own a buisness and have a child on the way. And I run another forum for my car club. I am a busy person. I will try to get on here and help input on the threads I can. -WM

sometimes the truth is a bitch. but it is punishment. imo mods should be cycled. once every 2-3 months. that way no 1 person can get too power hungry

By the time they learn all the ins/ and outs of being a mod and moving threads it would be time for them to resign. What would they accomplish as mods then?

In Hempie's case it wasnt personal. I got an email (reported post) and it directed me to the insult rules. I see that two peeps are mocking Riu and I sent them a warning. 0 infraction points. Nether one of the users that I warned like me warning them. They both cought attitudes and cussed me and one started a thread about what a douche I was. So now its personal. They made their comments and then they got some infraction points and got themselves banned for a few days.

Now one is back but still has attitude. Well I say you did it to yourself.

And NO, you do not have freedom of speech. You start saying niger or cussing at others and you will be quieted. You cant say you are going to do harm to other users or the president. Did you know that you can go to prison for giving the president a death threat? Just a threat, thats it. Im off topic now but I think you guys get the idea.

One other thing that will prolly get your thread locked it telling others how to make hard drugs. There was a crack thread that got locked. It had the instructions on how to make it. We do not condone evil drugs like crack and heroin. Maybe there is a forum out there you can join if you want to do that but we dont want it here. -WM

You don't have to explain to me, appreciated, but not necessary. Handle your business WM.

Widow - you should of been a solution to the problems here lately but instead of playing that role you decided to play another.and i like to call the role, villain. you first punished me for bs gave me an infraction when it i should of received a warning. and even though i shouldn't of received a damn thing and people even pm'd you speaking against my infraction you still left it on my account.and then when i speak up about it you ban me for a day which is more bs and others agreed. and then today you threaten me with a ban. and for what? speaking my mind in a peaceful way. i still haven't broken 1 rule of this site but yet i get threatened. its not right.

Tell that to GK. lol. To this day he still cant figure out how to ban someone. Your right its not hard to mod. Im an admin on another site. Now thats a pita. As far as rotating mods, I doubt it. I joined rollitup and there was 350 users. A core of 4 people made it what it is today. We have more help now and have made some of the more respectable people mods. We voted them in. The work is not the problem. Its having people online to mod is the problem. Shit if no mods are online then its our fault that you got hacked and didnt answer on time right when you want your answer. Now we (mods) should all burn in hell cause your plant died. Its not right but thats the reality.
