Should we have the ability to close our own threads?

[cannabis campbell]

I think we should, seeing as we started it.

[suhl]

no.

[cannabis campbell]

Why.. please give me info :)

[orangeman]

I think we should have the ability to close our own threads and delete our own posts and take off what ever pictures we don't want uploaded anymore. Some times people make mistakes and upload things they realize later on they don't want on the internet, like a few pictures of my face that can still be found. If admins don't feel like deleting them I sure would if I had the ability to.

[cannabis campbell]

QFT ^ (cant be arsed quote-ing.. too stoned atm to reach for the mouse)

[Its a Plant]

Well, to be fair, if you knowingly post a picture of your face, we assume you know the risks (if any for some) of doing so. It's a "no take backs" kinda thing. We can't have a bunch of indian posters running around here....

You can't just post something then want to take it back..lol it doesn't work like that. You don't want pics of yourself on here, it's simple: don't post them. When you post here, as discussed in the past, it becomes property of the site....it's not yours.

As for closing your own threads...well, you can always request that a mod close your thread if nothing more needs to be said. I'm sure any one of us would be more than happy to do so if we see fit ya know, and it HAS been done in the past. For future reference, if you're unsure about posting something, lol, just don't do it!

Just an fyi. :jointsmile:

[orangeman]

Property of the sites. Well I...that's not fair my face is the property of no one but me! >:-[

[thcbongman]

I don't seem to understand why we can't. It's not that I don't mind the rule, and you can't change history after all, but I always wondered why it's the way it is.

sorry it looks like you belong to cannabis.com now man.

Just wait till ya see next months issue of Playgirl.;)

Have a good one!:jointsmile:

[cannabis campbell]

HAHAHAHA LMAO!!!!

[cannabis campbell]

Jesus your more sarcastic than homer simpson lol.

Also that could easily be avoided, for example when you click delete thread you would have to confirm it or something.

anyway i didn't expect or i really wasnt bothered if it happened or not i was just wondering what most people think.

[birdgirl73]

Cannabis, you've got to go back to the Hmmm thread and see what I wrote in response to one of your last posts!

[cannabis campbell]

LOL :p nah im too stoned and mellowed out sorry about that i think it was just me going through an aggressive phase as i went for a week without any weed :p

Edit :thanks Birdgirl, I love you and your sarcasm :p haha

[birdgirl73]

Glad you liked that!

[geonagual]

I think all member with over 1000 post have the ability to ban people. That could be fun:thumbsup:

[slipknotpsycho]

to an extent yes... i think maybe a certain limit would be in order...

but it'd save mods alot fo work.... regaurdless of what we post, there are people/threads eventually someone comes along and needs it closed...

i only say yes cuz it'd save mods alot of work... but a high limit between, would definately make people think twice about what threads to edit (btw, if this was instigated, and for it to work it'd also mean a person couldn't ask a mod ot close a thread for them...)

i dunno, just my thoughts.

So, that means the picture i posted of me grabbing my manhood is the sites property? LOL - Ok, if your into that kinda thing cann.com rofl. :thumbsup:

Well, must dash. I've just let one go and i cant stay in the room anymore - my eyes are watering.

[Staurm]

This other site I am on, when the mods close threads they give notice, like this thread is going to close at midnight tonight or something, so if there is something pressing you want to add you still have time to say it.

[TheGreenFog]

Closing your own thread...I think I would agree with. Deleting it...well, I guess I have come to understand that that would ruin the continuity of the information. There would be so many gaps in the info around here. Pics, at least grow ones, etc are up there for everyone's info, and if they are deleted, how will others learn to grow? ;)

Plus, people would be complaining that their post count was not correct because people kept deleting threads with their posts in them, rep...etc.

Guess you just gotta be careful, eh? My picture is in my profile. LOL

It would be nice to be able to give notice BUT there are times when you can feel the intelligence just draining out of your system by having the damn thing left open. For the sake of the community.......CLOSE THAT THREAD!

Have a good one!:jointsmile:

[surreys princess]

just thought i would weigh in...

i dont think it is a good idea, because people could just run the boards then...imagine how many people would post and delete and then all the ones who would abuse this....

frankly, the idea of members being able to moderate themselves is scary...i know not all would abuse this, but some would, and in this case, one bad apple would spoil the whole bunch.....

meh....im sorry....

princess

[geonagual]

If I had the ability to close threads I would of closed this one down before CC even thought of it:wtf::rastasmoke:

[cannabis campbell]

Princess i never said delete i just said close, therefor no one would lose any posts or rep at all.

Also I dont see why people would abuse it.. Why would a bunch of people start threads and then close them unless their noobs but they can easily abuse the site by spamming and starting threads so why not closing them it just makes it better really.

you should have done like I did, Orangeman ... posted a 25 year-old pic of when I was young and handsome (instead of old, overweight, and decrepit) ... :D

[cannabis campbell]

Yeah but if orangeman did that it would be a baby pic lol.

[orangeman]

Yeah but if orangeman did that it would be a baby pic lol.

Haha yeah

[Skink]

I think I got a pic of OM on my PC,,,should I delete it???

[FakeBoobsRule]

We should be able to close a thread but only for a fee, say $2500 per thread, payable to me!

[Coelho]

Well... i think after somebody else posts in a thread started by you, the thread is not more only "your", because it haves the opinions/comments of another person too.
As i think nobody haves a "greater" opinion than anybody, if there is a thread with, lets say, 20 replies, then all the 20 persons that posted in that thread are "owners", in a certain way, of it. Or, lets say, have the same "weight" in that thread.
Thats why i think nobody (even the thread starter) should be able to close threads. Only if it were with agreement of everybody that posted, what would be difficult.

[cannabis campbell]

Yeah thats why i said CLOSE and not DELETE

The opinions of other people can still be read.

[orangeman]

I think I got a pic of OM on my PC,,,should I delete it???

Yes :).

[TheGreenFog]

It's not fair to delete the posts that others have contributed to the site just because the thread starter wants to. We all have to realize that when we post on a website, it gets on the internet. No going back. Think before you post.
I would like to change my screen name but it appears that I can't. Same principle. We have to deal with it.

On the other hand, you moderators need to have the same mentality. I posted a joke that implied that jews were cheap and it got deleted from the thread. Give me a break. How many jokes are there about jews being cheap? Did that joke really need to be removed from the thread? Let me get this straight, this website is about growing what we're not supposed to by law, but you want to ban my joke? That is even funnier than the joke itself. :D

I hear what your saying but our thing is to try to keep the place mellow for everyone. It's really to bad that some can't take a joke for a joke but you KNOW someone is going to be offended. If there are jokes about jews then what about blacks, asian, homosexuals, etc.....

Each one of us just tries to use our best judgement on things of this order and kind of watch for car crashes in the making. Something like a joke of this order brings on posts by people feeling insulted or hate Rep which then splashes on the forum. Sooner or later we eventually have to clean up the mess.

I appreciate you coming to the forefront. Was the joke that offensive to you?

And to the thread starter, same principle. You shouldn't be able to stop a conversation that others are having.

[cannabis campbell]

Ok if thats your opinion :). I respect it.

[Pass That Shit]

Campbell,

I like that pic of Pac in your profile. Thug Life baaaaaaaaaabyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy.
I was in a movie with Pacino, that was a cool experience. :jointsmile:

[cannabis campbell]

You were in a movie with him??

Which movie?

[Psycho4Bud]

I appreciate you coming to the forefront. Was the joke that offensive to you?

First off I tracked your history back to Dec. and gave up on the search. LOL...you must have a memory like an elephant!

Next, coming from you probably not because I know your not some racist. To me it's not really the joke but who's telling it. Was it meant in fun or just to be an asshole? How could we judge it?

That's one of the reasons why we just have to draw the line. I recall a member getting a bit racial regarding blacks in here and I gave an infraction for it. I then received and e-mail from that member stating that he was black so the comment should be cool and left alone.....I sure can't tell what race a person is from this side of the monitor and I'm sure many others can't also but one things for sure; somebody would have had a HUGE issue with the comment.

Have a good one!:jointsmile:

[Coelho]

C.C, thats what i meant when i said that nobody should be able to close threads... sorry if i didnt explained it well, and it seemed that i was talking about deleting threads.

[Pass That Shit]

You were in a movie with him??

Which movie?

I was in the movie that he received his big (only) award. The scene was filmed in NYC. By the way, I'm not saying that I had anything to do with his award winning performance. Ironically enough, I was cast for another one with him, but showed up to the set late and was left out of the scene I was cast for (under a bridge in Harlem). At least they let me hit the buffet table. :D

Physco4Bud,
How can I forget? It's my only infraction. The few times I've visited my profile page, I've been reminded of it. Jokes are jokes. Personally, I don't have a problem with Jews. After all, I follow one.

Is it true that elephants have good memory? Even the ones that smoke pot?

[burnable]

definitely no. it too much resembles treating the site like a personal hard drive. But mostly, the internet is meant to be an unregulated frontier, in which information is free and not manipulated to accomodate preference. If not, it wouldn't be as diverse and unbiased. We have too much arbitrary influence on mainstream media, it's a rare and singular thing to have something like the internet where truth can be told from all sides from all points of view. Being able to revise info once submitted is not in this same spirit, and could lead to more overt manipulation.

[geonagual]

We should be able to change our usernames any time we want...we each should have as a minumum of 5 usernames...
what else??
change the titles of other peoples threads...that would be fun.;)

[cannabis campbell]

Should be able to ban geonagual that would be fun :D!

[Nation_1ne]

I want to say yes so bad, but I just don't think it's a feature we could trust in the hands of other users :(

[Skink]

Hey OM,,,I searched and could not find a pic,,,your clean here...

[ghosty]

I'm not sure about deleting threads as was suggested earlier that it would make gaps in the conversations and info around here but I don't see how the ability to close your own thread could hurt

[cannabis campbell]

Hey OM,,,I searched and could not find a pic,,,your clean here...

how can you search for a pic on the boards? I dont think you can.

[Fencewalker]

Staff has many and varied powers not available to us mortals. :D

Actually, wasn't Skink talking about having a pic on Skink's PC? Maybe that's what was meant?

[cannabis campbell]

Yeah i know i just would of thought it would be literally impossible to search for a pic.. lol

[twoguysupnorth]

no, the question wasnt should you be able to close others threads. that should never happen with the pissing contest and things like that that happen sometimes. i think however that you should be in charge of your own threads, like most any other site. and yes there should still be moderators to keep things under controll when they need to be. jmho

[bluntblaze]

i dont think it would good because it would lower the number of post, one thing i do think you should be able to do is delete your own posts.

[cannabis campbell]

How would closing threads lower the number of posts?

[bluntblaze]

lol i thought we was talking about deleting threads.
oh well nevermind what i said then.

that thing i was talking about deleting ur own posts would be pretty handy just now.

in that case... yes i think we should be able to close our own threads.

[cannabisis4for20]

i feel like im being dicriminated aginst... you said indian posters... im native american... (when some one refears to an indian giver, they are refearing to native americans) and i dont like being called indian... im native american...

are you serious dude? This is exactly what p4b was talking about.

[palerider7777]

no if u think about it, like with me when i found this site i knew nothing about the site or weed for that matter. and i liked all the info i found on here, but when i started posting it's because i had ?? on how to do this or that not that i really wanted to post. not like "it's a plant" was saying well u knew the risk and all that. i really had no choice but to if i wanted to know the answers.

so it 's set up, to kindda put u on the spot of do i chance it and post or not? i don't think it has to be that way. there has to be a way around it like a temp post forum were people know the info can come and go, and more set up and geared to where the people that are just lookin for that lil bit of info can go post find the answer then delete it. i think it would help out alot not the whole website, but just 1 open forum like "temp posting forum, or something or atleast be able to delete ur pics thats the main thing, if the open forum is to much to do. cause sometimes people can't really help with out the pics to see whats going on, but it's not like u want to post them u know. and the whole well u knew better, is not all that fair to say as somepeople and places it's perfectly legal to have/ grow whatever. and then there the other places like most of the usa is illegal to do any of it, so thats my thoughts on it.cause most people come here for knowledge and end up risking themself in order to get all the knowledge they are looking for. and i don't think it has to be that way.

and im not sure how it all works, as getting caught on here i would go i think that it would'nt be hard for fbi/cia or whatever to hack into this site and get the info they were looking for, but i don't see that happening unless they were trying to find out info on a certain person, they were lookin at but i don't know so....
