PETITION

[Bman719]

While Lulu is by far a great mod and I love the fact she is a mod. I must voice my disagreement with del... Especially with the decision to ban Stoned_Penguin. thought i'd just share a post of his that he posted to stoned_penguin after he deleted stoned penguin's thread:


do you really want threads like "post a sentence made of random words" on the main page of a pot site? is that the kind of portrait you want the newcomers to see? now if it was alone in the midst of threads it would be different, however at the time of that post the poster already had 15% of the general room covered with threads pertaining to anything but cannabis...and the personal threads have a place too. not here tho...we have plenty of play rooms set aside just for that activity. the general room is the entry point for most newcomers and 1st are impressions can only happen once. all these personal relationships that develope here are great but does not mean this place is meant for all the "just wanna say high" threads and all the "love ya..." ones...which like i already said are great...but out of place. if the "MOVE" function worked i would use it but until it does it's just the way it is...

You're right Del... this isn't homeroom from highschool... so quit acting like it. You specifically singled Stoned_Penguin out and we all know it. How childish was that in the first place. (I realize that you could ban me, and I will take my chances as I feel it's necessary to speak my mind on the subject). If anyone has acted immature it's you. All he did was start a fun little topic. Last time I checked, Cannabis.com wasn't a fucking place for Nazi's to patrol the boards. He posted in the lounge and in the lounge you can pretty much talk about anything... so what the fuck man? I just don't see how people like you can be a mod for the website.... We would be better off with just Ron Bennett and Lulu...... So sign this petition if you'd like to have del... be removed as a moderator!!! Stoned_Penguin... you the shit man... hope to see you back on the boards soon...

LOL. ban del... for 24 hrs.? ha ha ha . sorry del..., sure why not.

[RIP ODB]

Yeah man I support the Penguin till the day I die but I can't go against the powers that be. (Del, lulu, ron jeremy, wayne brady)

[juggalo420]

becareful bman719 you might 'mysteriously' disapear if your advocating mutiny, just a heads up.

/\/\~pussies or just cats?

:rolleyes: Well I don't want to get into a shit-slinging match with any of you but at the end of the day we are all adults, (well maybe half of us are), so we shud have respect for each others opinions.....RIGHT!!!!!!!

C"mon people....we all see some of the shit that gets put up in the threads, and we are all to blame here, and yes I do agree that perhaps Penguin was singled out a bit, but heah perhaps it all has to start somewhere. The thing is that it needs to be consistent, and same rule applies to all of us. I have seen the shit that del has to go though on this site, and I spose a man will only take so much before he gets fucked off. I know that Ron wants things sorted out and shit to be posted in the right places so that the newbies don't walk into a smutt session or a thread of abuse. :confused:

This site is meant to be fun, but most of it is people going off on a tangin of fuckwittery and maybe thats not what we're all into. I know for a fact that myself for one gets a bit pissed at all the bullshit, but I have learnt how to shut off to most of the mindless crap.....

Anyway I know I will now cop it in the arse by a few of you, but at the eat of the day I really no longer give a flying fuck...... :mad:

[maryjanemama]

Little Penguin has been banned?!!! :eek:

Jeez, where have I been? I'm sad about that, I like that boy. :( Oh, well, such is life!

It just makes you wonder who may be next on the chopping block....

[GHoSToKeR]

Penguin was banned? What a load of bullshit. del... should be banned...... or shot. What a twat.

[Looker]

Hey I liked stoned penguin...

He posts pics of his cat and some cool stoner munchies...

BRING HIM BACK.....

[clevemire]

I'm with ya Bman. Banning someone for excessive sillyness is just plain idiotic. It's obviously an issue of personal taste, not serious misconduct.
I don't see how penguin did anything even close to offensive.

Is not the description of the Lounge "friendly talk about nothing in particular"??! That's it. Nothing in particular. I mean that's just self-explanatory. How was that violated?

What we have here is abuse of power. I didn't see any large scale complaints about penguin. Nobody asked for him to be banned, yet there are plenty of other twerps and assholes who have done stupid shit, have been pointed out to the mods, and yet nothing happens to them.

But penguin gets banned because you simply don't like him? C'mon del... you old ugly hippie. Get a clue.

[juggalo420]

i think this should be said, del... isnt the devil incarnate, him and penguin didnt see things the same way, but other than that i dont see anything particurally(s/p?) wrong with him.

and penguin asked to be banned (he literaly wrote ban me), he wasnt banned just for the fuck of it

[slipnslide087]

he asked to be banned not to put up with the bullshit anymore.

[Encatuse]

So, just sign it if we want Del... to no longer be a moderator? I'm pretty sure this won't work.. but,

Encatuse (( - thinks hunny and Del... shouldn't be moderators, as they have a very big problem with allowing their personal feelings interfere with their moderating))

[clevemire]

he asked to be banned not to put up with the bullshit anymore.If that's true, then I retract my last statement. However, I'll still probably be banned for the ugly words. But I don't care that much anymore. This place isn't nearly as fun as it used to be...

[F L E S H]

I don't wanna get involved in this, but only to say that Penguin was a cool dude and whether he asked to be banned or not, he didn't deserve it. I've rarely seen 15-16 year olds who didn't annoy me, and this guy even made me laugh, sometimes a lot.

Go Penguin!

[Reefer Rogue]

Anyone know how long he's banned for? BRING BACK PENGUIN!!!! :D

[Kid Dynamite]

yeah bring back penguin

[ScarlettCrush]

a whole thread was deleted bc it was frivolous?
the image we want to put off??

if del is concerned about the thread quality he should start some interesting ones that are of the calibre he would like them to be. Then leave the frivolous ones alone. If a thread is on the top for a few hours or days it's because we keep posting to it, because we have something to say about it, because we are interested, and if he thinks it frivolous then he should not post on it or read it. I am glad the move option doesn't work, it lets me know when threads are interesting, new or dying, just like the flow of conversation in a room. I mean isn't this forum for us? and if we as a group like and perpetuate threads that might further a stoner steriotype, then isn't that ok? I mean we are stoners, those steriotypes exist for a reason.
I hate to think I just paid for membership and could get banned for being annoying. I mean...I am fucking annoying sometimes so I feel like it's just a matter of time. All I have to do is piss off the right person and there goes the love, bud and brotherly understanding I kind of expected from this board.

not cool.

Very well put. I'm quoting it in hopes that redundancy really can teach things.

[libramom30]

I'm in on the petition, I figure I'm still new enough that it's ok if they ban me, there are more "cannabis" boards out there......it's not like he was breaking the law. What ever happened to Freedom Of Speech. Or has that gone out the window with everything else that matters.........

[peji]

Is this petition Reefer Madness,,,I am not signing it due to the fact that he asked to be banned and then came back w/ an attitude. Due to the many yrs coming in this site Ho Hum,,,ppl come ppl go...even if u get banned u can spy on the threads and read em as a Guest....In the old days they banned the servers frm the whole area so many ppl who werent even involved in being banned were banned which was unfair...All the Mods in here try and do the right thing according to Rons intentions of running this site whole heartedly for the Good of all ppl. TIME 2 CHILL & FIRE UP :cool:

[maryjanemama]

If that's true, then I retract my last statement. However, I'll still probably be banned for the ugly words. But I don't care that much anymore. This place isn't nearly as fun as it used to be...
Who's next? You? Me? Him? Her?

Some newbie who's been here 4 days said in another thread to stop fighting because we're all a stoner family. What? Who started that ridiculous rumor? We're a family until one of us says something someone disagrees with...then the next time you try to log on here, you'll find out you've been banned.

[jacquelyne]

I deserve to be banned more than him.I definatley write more rubbish.
THATS MEAN

[Euphoric]

not cool. way to censor ideas dude

[SashaOxOxMarie]

Cameron asked me to post you guys and tell you something... actually he just typed it and I am posting it. hey it works...

HEY STONERS!!! I MISS YOU GUYS!!! lol yes i did asked to be banned and i was for about a few hours then del... unbanned me i asked to be banned because he was singling me out, after he unbanned me i thought it would stop, WRONG he continued to single me out and just said i was being a whining brat, so yeah thats more of the story just to let you all know, I LOVE YOU GUYS!!!!
Peace, Penguin(Cameron)

(yes this is the same one as the one is the R.I.P. stonedpenguin one. yeah)

[Edgar]

I havn't run into any personal probs with any mods(mabey because I'm new to Cannabis.com), but I must say, I dont think penguin should have been banned for such a frivolous reason.

[Rarrr]

he was banned for a month
