What happened to Orangeman's thread "Sneaking seeds through security?"

[Swizzy89304]

What ever happened to Freedom of Speech?

Please, this goes out to Del..., Zandor, and all the other mods (too stoned to remember now... sorry :o )

Dont tell me the American government have turned you into cowards aswell, respecting the laws THEY make and not respecting the FIRST AMENDMENT.

Bill of Rights

Amendment I (http://boards.cannabis.com/)


Congress shall make no law respecting an (1) establishment of religion, or prohibiting the (2) free exercise thereof; or abridging the (3) freedom of speech, or of (4) the press; or the right of the people (5) peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a (6) redress of grievances.

1. What about Rastafari that live in America? For some, its part of their religion to smoke Herb, yet the government oppresses them. Oh, and I know its not exactly 'religion' as such, but ever notice at the airport they do them "random" screenings? Oh, and they always pick the Arabs/Muslims out 90% of the time. The other 10%, its a stoner.
2. Look, Im not trying to defend them here, but Satanism is considered a religion. And people try to stop the free exercise of Satanic rituals.
Myself, Im a Christian. Hey, Im just trying to be fair, OK?
3. Look around you. Its happening everyday. Do I really need to give examples?
4. If you read the 9/11 conspiracies (not saying I believe either way. Im trying to be neutral here, like Sweden. Im just giving examples) theres reports saying that the CIA/FBI/WTF/O'RLY etc, actually stopped the press from printing a lot of stories about 9/11. Dont you think that the newspapers would have an article from it?
5. I remember when that woman was protesting the war in Iraq by sleeping outside the White House with a big banner or something. From what I recall, I think she got moved on within a week by some government dudes.
6. I have no idea what 'redress' means.
Please tell me there was a legitimate reason for closing that thread, not just government bullying. I would have lost all respect for this site if you had. :(

seriously, the mods here at least need to be consistant, they leave horrible threads open, ones that are degrading to women and racist threads. But every now and then a thread just disapears for NO reason whatsoever, and it just ticks me off that some mods are abusing their authority simply because they dont believe in what your saying or maybe you personally offended them in some way. Why don't i get to close threads that personally offend me???

PROTEST

[Swizzy89304]

I vote to boycott cannabis.com until the mods reply.
Or we could just smoke a spliff.

before you come back with the consitancy stuff, i'm just point out that they don't have to explain themselves.

[stangle12]

why not? we diserve a reason.

[God v2.0]

before you come back with the consitancy stuff, i'm just point out that they don't have to explain themselves.

well, i could retaliate, believe me ive ruined more than one set of forums before.

but im much to lazy dont have NEARLY enough motivation for that, because the mods here are generally really cool.

and i dont give a flying fuck if they have to explain themselves or not, it makes them egotistical self-serving fuck faces if they dont. its a common courtesy when you wipe from existence ones only copy of a particular piece of intellectual property.

so sorry if that hurts anyone feelings but it sure as hell hurts mine when i type out 500 words of advice to help someone with a problem or a question they had and then BAM it gets deleted for no reason, not even any cursing except shit in the entire thread. so wtf, are we taking on a retroactive human-decency policy? SHIT!

:mad: :mad: :mad:

the REASON they are called moderators is so they can moderate, meaning control the content of these forums, now i assume that means get rid of stuff that doesnt belong here, not get rid of valuable information that its members contribute to it.



the mods may see it as getting rid of something that may 'potential' offend someone, and given that almost anything is offending someone somewhere, i think there is a limit that needs to be set on that kind of vigilance.

but i see it as a giant waste of time to even come here if my input is just going to get deleted for very little or no reason at all. which doesnt happen very often but should happen NEVER! but i guess its true, power twists people. like that one time i 'offended' hunny, and got my ass banned for like a month, and all i did was try and hit on her OVER THE INTERNET! how the hell is that a bannable offense. I see people threatening peoples lives on here and nobody gives a shit.






well i should give it a rest before i get banned again for seeding disbelief and lies in our forums and conspiring to overthrow the dictatorial rule of the moderators.:what:

[del...]

and here i thought it was pretty easy to figure out...

we do not openly discuss stealth techniques here and the people in that thread were doing nothing but discussing it! sheesh...when your order doesn't arrive next time perhaps you'll remember this.

[benagain]

waste of bandwidth sounds good to me.

[del...]

and those who still can't figure it out...please do boycott! we'll all be a lot safer if you do.

[God v2.0]

well i wasnt really bitching about that specific thread, actually i didnt even read it, but judging by the title of it, i though it was another pointless disapearance. And Del... you can't deny that threads which should not have been deleted WERE deleted. I can't remember any specificly, a result of being high 24/7. But another result of being high is me not giving a shit about this thread anymore. Or if you delete my shit either, because i agreed to a dumbass contract designed to save Ron's ass.

psh

Were stoners, when has anything ever been easy for us to figure out? :p
Anyways, sorry I didnt realise that.

Someone is putting words in other peoples mouths again...........:p

And yeah i am god, why would i call myself god if i didnt think i was god, sheesh!!!! :upsidedow

[orangeman]

Wait...my thread about sneaking seeds through secuirty got deleted?

[BobBong]

Guys.. it's pretty obvious... just sit back a minute and think about it. It's not about right's.. you have the right to say whatever you want but remember.. this is OUR site.. we have a lot of members and a lot of eyes on us. You may have freedom of speech but we have the freedom of moderation. And for the record.. this isn't "speech" remember that. Your voice can fade away in time and wind.. but the internet is text, written "documentation" that stays on record for years...

It's not a matter of freedom, it's a matter of safety. We have an obligation to this site.. and anyone wanting to be a member need to follow the rules. It's that simple.
It's called society, be a part of it by working with us, not against us

[BobBong]

Yes.. we miss stuff. We're not perfect. Need i remind you that it's only just recently that 2 new mods have been active? If something bothers you .. say something.. we'll get on it. If it's worth complaining about then it could be worth deleting.. not necessarily though.
Remember we love freedom of speech just as much as we love safety..

[friendowl]

bob bong your doind a good job at mod.
you dont have to explain but you do
thank you

Well that pretty much sums it up even though my thread was deleted I agree :).

[del...]

and just so ya know...very little, if any modding goes on at www.baked.com

i don't even go there...except to play asteroids. but if security problems pop up over there, they too will be removed. security for both the provider and those in need is our number one mission here, which also applies to marihemp and baked. each one has their own level of tolerance with baked being the most open (and the least used...go figure) and this one 2nd.

btw bob, excellent job explaining things!

I prefer the minigolf myself... :dance:
