wow alot of people seem to be leaving or getting banned in recent past( Luke, Boondock, some other guy, hatebreeder{who should\'ve been ), and most were long time members. Lol. just wanna start a discussion not taking sides lol
Not to mention Critter, Nubbin\', KraziHare and Bud Head. I suppose you could ask Indy or RMJL why. But I doubt it\'ll do much good.
yeh i always liked luke boondock and hatebreeder its pretty shitty oh well lifes a bitch PEACE Dont fly 2 high no offence to any of the admin
Boondock was, by far, not a long term member. He had been here for maybe two months. He was warned by administration and moderators on a daily basis. Porn links, mass pming porn links (to mods as well), excessive useless posts, excessive picture posting, posting to increase post count, etc...had he just chilled instead of ignoring the warnings, then he would have been cool. Luke was unfortunately banned due to allowing the aforementioned banned member to use his own user account to mass spam our members via pm\'s. He had been warned about many issues in the past but was allowed to stay. This last stunt got him banned. Hatebreeder...he was the one who could have come back. He only had a one week ban due to the same as the above...rule breaking. His was geared more towards racism and disrespect. Once he was banned he came back on a rampage very much like so many do and got the permanent ban. Who else? The others listed weren\'t banned. I will say that former moderators got mad when their moderating skills were questioned internally due to deleting posts and threads that they didn\'t personally agree with and when they weren\'t backed up by others and SJ moved me and Indy to Administrators, they decided to resign as moderators. One other former mod might have been temporarily banned by SJ due to internal issues and some other mods left on their own free will.
Well, you\'re not a moderator so you\'d have no need to be involved in that review. I\'ll move it so as not to avoid further confusion.
Then whats the point in \'reviewing\' it when no one but you, Indy and SJ will know how the \'review\' went. All that closing the thread did was force the thread to die. Which chances are will happen to this thread as well. There was no point in closing it. There was a dicussion going on that involved more than just the mods. So if the thread was reviewed, wouldn\'t it be reasonable to let others in on it? I think that\'s the least you guys could do for stopping the discussion.
That thread had been closed a long time ago. It has now been moved to where all of the other moderators can read it since you were mistaken in thinking it was someone\'s place to review it other than the moderators.
I didn\'t think it was anyones place to review it but the moderaters. What I want to know about is what the all moderaters think about it. I was mistaken in thinking you guys might actually show something to the people who were involved in the discussion. That it was infact closed for a review and that it wasn\'t ended for BS reasons.
I\'m an active member of the forums, and I\'ve seen some very chill people leaving left and right. I\'m not talking about being banned. I\'m talking about those that LEFT of their own free will. They obviously had a reason to. That reason I believe is being demonstrated in the new way things are ran around here, by you and RMJL. I don\'t want to leave this board because for the most part it\'s chill. So with all that, yeah I feel it is my concern. I\'m being respectful, I\'m being nice. You know what I\'m gettin in exchange? A \"I\'m better than you, you\'re not deserving enough to know\", attitude.
The thread was closed days ago. Now it is in a spot where only the moderators, Super Moderators and Administration can view it. There\'s way more that goes on behind the scenes than what is in the forums.
This is part of a PM that I sent to someone who considers himself a former GC member; I was replying to his original PM: \"The City has grown like crazy. Example: It took 4 years to gain 10,000 members and less than 8 months to gain 6000 more. That\'s a huge (gigantic) increase of people within 8 months compared to the growth over the last four years. Change is expected. Some will be cool with it, others won\'t. Same as life. We advertise in High Times and many others mags as well as other sites. We ask people to come to the City in those ads. If we didn\'t keep the City at peace and in order then we\'d have serious issues. SJ has made it very clear that he\'ll shut the forums down before he lets them go to hell and that\'s why he put Me and Indy in charge. Indy, SJ and I are very tight and we trust each other completely. One thing we\'ve never had to do is question one another\'s loyalty to the City and each other. ............ I understand your concern, somewhat. However, there\'s been so much positive feedback concerning the recent activities, that the complaints don\'t really stand out. I have emails and PM\'s out the ass that counteract all the negative that has transpired so I feel good about things.\" I edited out a small portion to protect this member from his request. Those on the bandwagon might turn on him. ***The City has at least 20 mods...whether you seem them post or not.
Shit...here it goes...I finally got to add my 2 cents...I\'ve been avoiding it for a long time... Yes, there\'s been some fucked up shit going on here the last month...made me really sad....first off...I liked Hatebreeder. Some might think he was a juvenile prick...but he was honest. He was a nice kid, worshiping some kind of ideals....I got a lot of friends who are into the same shit as him. I even know some guys he worships as if they were gods...but they are nice people, too. So I personally think he was a good guy. But seroiusly... He had some strange way of expressing himself. And he\'s gone way over the line quite a few times. And coming back due his 1 week ban wasn\'t wise...I do know there was a reason for him being banned. Second...please don\'t drag critter into that. I\'ve seen his name mentioned both here and in the joint (yes, I\'ve been to the joint and will register there, too. I actually expect someone to copy this reply and hope someone\'ll post it in the joint, too). Critter actually resigned due to what he said was a lack of moderation. He couldn\'t deal with all the cocaine posts and shit any more. And I did agree with him. This is a MJ forum and I do not like kids discussing all kind of shit here. Then there was the issue of some other members getting banned...I don\'t know the exact reason for Boondock being banned, but it sure as hell set of a bomb...my sentiments towards this has nothing to do with this post... I just want this situation to resolve. I like the city. I want to come here to meet some intresting people who share the same interests as me. I made some friends here...actually gonna meet sid in Amsterdam in 3 weeks. Gonna have a blast, I promise you And I like Luke and his posts...he always made me laugh...and all the others...just being honest...I\'ll register over there and hope they start a good thing...there\'s definitely space for 2 good forums on the web... Now can we try to get along and start looking at the bright side again? I\'m tired of this arguing....
arguing? I see someone asking a question, and expressing sentiment. I see very little arguing, but I believe that to be the work of the mods. They have no need to argue, they are better than us. we dont see what goes on in the background, but what we do see is shit. repeated posts, flaming, and immature shit. where is the moderation? we dont see it because its not their. if your gonna ban one member for increasing his post count, ban em all. 90% of the people here post shit, their is no longer knowledge at grasscity. Its a place for kids, kids that cant handle yahooka cause its too harsh, so they come here, and walk all over this place. answer questions, and let people talk freely. if you dont like it, address it dont fuckin delete it. im sure your scared of people jumping on the \"bandwagon\", but if their is a bandwagon, it exists for good reason. its bunk to delete a members resignation thread. what is their to review? no rules were broken. just people expressing feelings, be them negative or positive, they arent here without cause.
NEVER JUDGE A BOOK BY A COVER image isnt every thing thats my tupenceence worth divdre and conquer agus missis skinner ta suil go bhain sult as do trip
You havn\'t exactly read my posts too well either. But it\'s not just old mods that have been leaving of their own free will. Those are just a few names that came to mind.
What have you done that is so great? the city seems like its at a low point to me. obviously its a problem if you have long term members LEAVING. marijuana smokers are the minority. if the government listens only to the majority then things are fucked. if people are saying negative things, its for a reason, and they should be addressed. but as long as YOU feel good with things, then I guess all is well.
