So I've resolved to try and behave myself.

I've been trying to do this myself but I'm just not very good at it. Unfortunately, behaving myself is not a talent that I was gifted with. Don't believe me....just ask my mom.
 
I know I know. And I'm pretty sure they know too. But what can we do? I just feel bad for the mods cause they seem like good people. And they are very nice to us and we are allowed to hang with all these other sheep- admittedly very fine ones too- and we are allowed to say whatever we want all day , as long as it's 'baaa'.
So
Baaa!!
 
I agree. I must say that I've never been reprimanded in such a nice and courteous manner. It's kind of weird...
 
Baa, Baa, Black Sheep.

I used to get slapped at least once a week for doing something I have seen every one else do a million times. God forbid mentioning any other company except our sponsors. Because they are all so reputable and trust worthy...;)
 
My thoughts- I think...
Bottom line is- it's not really our site, as much as we have invested a lot of time and effort in it. It is a business, we gave up ownership of our posts when we signed up and agreed to follow the rules. 420 owns all content. Hard to really argue with that...

It's only natural that a bunch of cannabis rebels and free thinkers will be uncomfortable at being forced to conform.

It also seems that an obvious conflict comes about from the very nature of the site. It seems to promote democracy and a certain amount of rebelliousness and activism against the system, and attracts that sort of thinking, while running a benign dictatorship. A tricky balance for sure.

I appreciate the site a lot, and don't see a constructive and positive way to change the few details I don't love so much. I hope they do change over time. I would like to make the job of the mods easier and not cause trouble or be a pain in the ass for them. To show my gratitude I am resolved to try to make the most of this place, to enjoy it and appreciate it as the incredible resource it is, while (groan) following the rules.
Aggggh those words don't come out easily!!!!!!

Actually, I'm not even sure they did come out I might've just imagined it Oh well I tried....

But to show my free spirit, once in a while, instead of saying
Baaa

I might say
Moo
I can't help it

Till next time-
Good Baaa
 
Over the years I've come to terms with the fact that at least in some cases, rules can be good and are not always bad.

How could we think of ourselves as free thinkers and rebels if there were no standards that we were expected to conform to or rules for us to break? Baa, baa. Boring......

I feel that the mods are doing a fine job of keeping this site free of the all of the mudslinging, product and breeder bashing, and all of the other childish stuff seen on some of the other cannabis forums.

I'm sure that most of us would agree that the rules here are not so restrictive that it creates a sterile atmosphere or takes the fun out of things. The rules are just strict enough to provide that tightrope walk that keeps us on our toes but doesn't spoil the fun and enjoyment. If it weren't enjoyable we would be here right?

I never had problems, cause I grow outdoor so I'm not involved in LED talk. However I saw many people that got banned somewhere in the middle of the road. You can find them on other forums now :cheesygrinsmiley:
 
:welldone:
You're a role model for many of us here Conradino.
:high-five:
I've never been slapped on the hand yet for anything LED related. Maybe I'll pay a visit to the LED forums soon. LOL!! :)
:peace:
 
Thanks CaptainBlast. I'm curious how my PChunk compares to yours in general appearance? I harvested it a couple pages of ramblings ago. As I said on your journal, I'll keep on growing it for a while longer. It's so dank and strong. The smoke isn't totally to my liking, though I can smoke it. I just find it hard to think after!

It appears we got through this little discussion of censorship without posting anything that needs to be censored. :thumb: I do feel morally obligated to mention the issue once in a while...
I probably don't need to say again how much I ❤️and appreciate this forum, the mods, and the hard work they do. Thanks guys.

Or they just... reappeared after a little break under a new name. But I digress.
I was only interested to hear what chaps the ass the most around here, and I am relieved that my suspicions were just regular old commonsense.
Of course bad talk about the sponsors is not tolerable because, they help the site exist in the first place.
If a consumer doesn't know what "buyer beware" means, then tough luck!
That's why Vlad has DIY, and the mods know that most people would rather swipe their plastic money cards than risk electrocution or burning the house down.
But not Vlad. Vlad has been around for many many years and so therefore knows all of the disadvantages of what being a slave-wage consumer can be.
The truth is that if you don't understand everything about your equipment then you are already behind on the game. Corporations make money hand over fist from the blind and it's totally legal because an agreement was made.
Your precious cash for a certain hunk of metal and plastic.
So if you snooze, you lose! Most retailers stretch the truth to some margin, but it's simply human nature, like farting in an elevator.

Wasn't trying to be pompous, but Vlad is anti-consumerism by nature.

I grant that to the moderators, they do it in such a gracious way that you actually comply.

I really like this site. I don't know who Richard Richardson or 420 is, but, they have been gracious hosts ever since I started hanging out here and so they deserve 3 cheers from Vlad

I´m glad to hear people get banned. Just goes to show that self-control and commonsense still have value in this world.

That statement alone has me so looking forward to the Pineapple Chunk I have at the seedling stage Weasel. You know how it was when we were teenagers; we didn't have a preference of different types of highs and stoned. All someone had to say was "That Sh@# had me where I was this or that" and you can believe that's who got our next $3! :laughtwo:
 
You should like the PChunk for sure then, BAR. I had a few phenos and some took forever but, as usual, I think grower related issues were to blame. Not being able to harvest this last batch as early as I thought I should have turned out to be the best thing I could have done. I thought it was past its prime- but at 100 days it was near perfect. :thumb:

Thanks Justabluez. This journal gets a bit thin sometimes because I'm away for work a lot. Hopefully update, at least a little bit, next weekend.

WeaselC, my PC indeed looked much like yours, I only let my go 85 days as all my sugar leaves had turned, like yours it was plenty gooey on the trim and the little dead sugar leaves were a bitch to get out, it is way more scented than my Blue Dream (which is saying a lot) though I can't smell even a hint of Pineapple, it is a wonderful mixture of citrus to me. As I've said before, I'm an insomniac and this stuff works for me well in that regard. It just outright will knock one's pecker in the dirt, so a must to be seated when applying :jaw dropper:

I had a hell of a time myself on the trim job as my helper didn't showed just when I thought I was finished, I ran out yesterday and pulled 5 little 3 foot clones (one was a PC) and hung them all up to dry, meaning the whole plant w/o the root mass. My enviro no matter what I add or take away seems to dry the branches a little to fast so I thought I'd give this a go. Actually found it easier on the big dense gooey Blue Dreams to let them dry with all the fans, everything and then trim.

No hint of bud rot on the PC, though some spots were beginning to show on my Blue Dreams @ 80 days and I took them as long as I could trying to minimize the damage.

As you know I was put off by the troubles I had outdoors with the PC here in my area, however I'm digging the smoke and dankness so much I may give it a second chance indoors to see what happens.

I'm doing my damnedest to stay out of that one, as I get my hand slapped like a Catholic school kid every time I try to mention where I might have had some success from a non sponsor. I have replied that I'm only trying to help, but just decided best to pipe down. I lurked around on many other sites but find the fam damily here to be the most helpful and not near as many know it alls that don't actually know a damn thing, which would be ok if one would be forthright about it. I've just found over the years that people that think they know everything are particularly annoying to those of us that do.

Peace out brother, looks like your getting some cooler weather, that would be the only difference in your PC and mine is the blue tint I noticed on the top of some of your buds. Good luck finding something as potent as the PC for your patients and please advise when you do. Thanks for all you do pard'
