View Full Version : Use this thread to tell me why you dislike cann.com...im curious
So ive been readin A LOT recently and i have been noticing a lot of bitching about this site. Personally i love this site, but a lot of people have been complaning and i want to know the EXACT reason why the people that dislike this site dislike it(make sense?).
Ive been here longer than SOME of the members that are complainin about this site i dont get why, i understand why people got mad about the psych forum being shut down because that was its own community in itself.
NOw we have people complaining about the ads...i mean i understand if it slows things down BUT is it that bad to see? I keep reading people complain about how this site is about money...and if its true, does it really matter? This place is still the same place ive been coming to for a while and nothing has bothered me.
Then we have people complaing about MODs banning like crazy...if you have examples i would like to see what your talking about, so post em.
Everytime i see "banned" under someones user name i research and look for posts to see why they were possibly banned, and so far i havent seen ONE unreasonable ban. I wish some of you guys were around when Beeblebrox420 was a mod, he would ban you and talk down to you like a little kid...and you see beeble isnt a mod anymore....hmmm
I like these mods they stay on top of there job and get rid of the stupid spammers/people who flame.
Then we have people complaning about the NOOBS...i think this is the stupidest complaint...theres always going to be new people, some cool, some rude. We just have to deal with it, back a year ago there noobs used to join and just spam. A thread about smoking or about weed would be taking over by a flame war, and it was uncontrolable.
I just dont get it, and then people try to make a point by leaving...like thats going to do anything, if you leave your just going to get forgotten unless you have personal friends from the site but if you dont...you will be forgotten.
Let it all out, i made this thread for that purpose, i wanna see everyones complaints because really there is ONE big thread for that yet, and im not trying to flame anyone, i just want to see the opinions of the people here.
Thanks guys.

exactly what you said i look at there previous posts and see no legitment reason to ban maybe it was posted in a nuked thread or in chat but i dunno...
and the mods sometime seem to lie.. about a post saying they didnt say soemthing but someone shows proof that they did say it and they still deny it NOT POINTING ANY FINGERS AT ANYONE OR ANYMOD....!!
and the whole new rules about nothing other than cannabis... WHY are we trying to impress someone "look we dont talk about anyother drugs just this other illegal one!!"
ill probably get banned for this....

In my opinion there will always be immature people 13, or 40 years old.
Always ganna be some immature people..
The Ads dont bother me, and i still see them, i had seen a program that was small { Ad MunCHER } and i dont use it, i like to click on the ad's every now and then because i know it gets them .1-.10 cents a click :)
My way of donating :-p-

see, dont think they are trying to impress anyone...i think they are trying to be safe in more ways than one...but like i said i can see why the people get mad about not being able to talk about other drugs, but at the same time i dont do other drugs(anymore) so it doesnt really bother me

The admin is trying his hardest to keep this place going, ads are the way to do it. And what about the games? Country flags under the post count? The "Current Moods"? Just things all designed to make this place cooler for the people here. If you don't like moving your index finger an extra centimetre on your mouse's scroll wheel for the sake of keeping this place free to the public, then you are one lazy fuck and don't deserve a place like this. it's not like forums as cool as these grow on trees

I don't see why there's all this bitching.
One, EVERYONE was a n0ob at some point, so everyone who gripes about all the new people, think back to when your post count was 12 and STFU in the meantime. No0bs are the ones that help the cannabis community grow. Yes, there will always be immature ones, old and young, but usually the ones who flame/act like idiots don't stay around too long. So stop worrying about them.. light one up and chill out.
Two, this site is named CANNABIS.com. I understand that the psych forum was a good place to get decent info if that's what you were into. I'm not, so I never visited. But the mods/owner might just be looking out for his own ass, hence the reason it was taken down.
I think the mods do a good job.
I don't really have any complaints other than all this bitching that is going on. Like Oreo said, go ahead and leave the site if you don't like it that much. Who gives a shit? There will always be someone to replace you. Ain't no skin off my back. :)
It sounds too me like the people who have been complaining are complaining because they don't have the self control to not argue with 11 ans 12 year olds. Just ignore them!! Don't open their threads, don't read there posts.. It's really easy. There are imature people everywhere... you're gonna have to deal with it your entire life, so get over it.

Some folks just like to hear themselves complaining.
I'm betting most of our chief complainants are unhappy with a lot of aspects of their lives and aren't in touch enough with the real unhappiness to be able to direct their frustrations where they really belong. So they voice their complaints on a well-functioning cannabis board where they can hide behind online anonymity, throw temper tantrums, and generally stir things up.
If the ownership hadn't changed, ads hadn't been added, flamers and young punks were non-existent, etc., they'd still be complaining about something. It's what they do.
Count me among the satisfied (and self-actualized) group.

Hummm... I like this place
As a Deadhead who follwed the Dead Tour for many years I Fully understand why the owners got rid of the psych forum! If anyone here spent an afternoon/evening on a dead lot,you would agree...If you think that LEO/LEA's are harsh on weed wait till they think you are dabbling on "other" things...there are still Hundreds of folk doing time cuz of Psychedelics,some for life. I agree with the owners...This is a Cannibis board. simple.
as far as the ads go... thank you!! as someone who has recently gone over $35,000 in debt,two new cars,one new house,gasoline for said autos(I have to drive 60 miles round trip to get to work @3.07 a gallon) this makes it possable for me to be here. I could not afford to have to pay a fee to be a member!! Thank you for giving me the abilty to enjoy this place for free!!
Noobs and Flaming...S.O.S. on every board I have ever been on...we just have to get over it

Seems to me like only the tiniest minority of threads get shut down judging from the locks that are visible. And they're only shut down when they seem to be potentially generating hate or racism or name-calling or something really rank that's liable to cause more problems by continuing than by being shut.
My forum where I can just "bitch and argue and stuff" is my house, but I find it has the same effect there that chronic bitching and arguing do here. Makes folks less likely to want to talk to me nicely in return. So I generally exercise when I feel like bitching.

PERSONALLY, i believe all the whiners need to shut their TRAP UP! quit trying to cause a soap opera everyday fukn drama and get on with your life! if you dont like the way the site is running go somewhere else, or better yet, GET OFF YO ASS AND AWAY FROM THE PUTER SCREEN! go out and get laid, party, go swimming, or pick up fukn litter in your community, now that i would throw a fit about but instead you throw a fit about a cannabis site that people are crying like mingley titty babies cause they cant get their way, NOW SCHMOOKE UP!

Well I used to dislike it for the very frequent "server is busy" notice, now I dislike it because of the ad's. Other than that it's a pretty cool place to be when you are just signing on the computer or just wanna talk about something.
:pimp: This has made for a very interesting read.....:confused:
