Forum security Am i gonna get BUSTED?

[JackdaWack]

Well i know that any one can access this site, im not very concerned but the questions have been raised in my head. For growing atleast. I know that no one is gonna get busted for comming on here and sayin they smoke, but growing is in a completely different park. My question is to the moderators, what shouldn't we talk about to help confine ourselves and keep under the radar. I have herd of ppl being watched on here... not sure if its possible to track some one's ip adress but the internet can be a sticky web leaving many traces to your home, and having pictures of your grow is evidence enough you have somethin goin on. Im just lookin for the "attitude" moderators have twards this subject becuase i know they know best on there site. thnx guys

hahah awww damn

[Monoxide]

or use "SWIM".

The site he was talking about is overgrow I believe, and the reason it got shut down was cause it was linked to an actual seedbank or something. I'm pretty sure the servers for this site are located outside the US somewhere the feds cant subpoena the server records or anything. Just make sure you post no ID'ing info or slip up and let identifying information through in the pics you post. They have bigger things to worry about than a person growing a few plants and posting pics of it. I mean, if you are posting pics of a giant commercial grow, you might draw some attention, but its still a long road from pics on the internet to jail.

If your worried, just don't post info about a grow, the only reason I'm posting about one is because its not actually mine and is going on somewhere far away from where I post pics from :)

Its very simple, if you do want to post a log, talk about everything in the first person. For example, Monty is installing ten 1000'ws, Monty finds it hard to keep temperatures under control, Monty needs information about something. The authorities can find out who you are in a second, but the question you should be asking is why would they want too, if they have no reason to believe you have a huge operation directly connected to you, they won't need to find out who you are. Fuck, it wouldn't be hard for some with tech expertise to find out your ip, your domain details and from there, probaly alot more. Its all about context. If you've given authorities enough reason to want to find out more about you, your fucked anyway.

Overgrow had a log system where when someone posted or connected to the site, the details of that connection would be stored temporarily and then automatically deleted after the connection had been terminated.

It would be nice if we had that.
and BTW it's third person.

first person is. I and me

[harris7]

as well some people on here have given me enough info to figure out (if i wanted) who they are. and some of em got big ops.

but really in canada. the cops might even support privet ops. i mean cuz all the problems with ops are the big ones with gangs.

in fact if i was ever to get caught i would be all like

how can you punish me for making the community better.

yep i agree with alot you said there.. coz after all a personal grower is not hurting any1.. if there was more personal growers or if every1 grew for themselfs the dealers would have no customers and stop selling.. i mean if we was posting pics of plants which released a deadly gas or sumthing then ye i would say you have something to worry about... police would want to nab you .. but then again i could be wrong we all could be and police mite be using a lilttle resourse team hunting down people to arrest them for there grows that they are posting about on the net... n as some1 else said if you are that worried about posting pics or even documenting bout your grow on a fourm.. then simply dont post.. then you have nothin to worry about... but the way i see it is... for me and all the other personal growers with under 8mature plants at1 time or around that mark.. if getting caught probly wont go to prison... n if like me you all get so so so so somuch enjoyment pleasure satisfaction and fun out of growing then i would say go for it.. just be super carefull get a carbon filter secure your grow and tell no1 and you should never have to worry about the police..
pps .. if only growing weed was LEGAL. how lovely it would be.. i live in hope:thumbsup:

Yeah, if weed was legal, I wouldn't be a criminal. I'm not violent, I don't steal, I pay my taxes, fuck, I don't even speed. Its sad that the government still feels the need to lock people just like me up in cages for growing and smoking a plant that promotes peace and love, while alcohol kills thousands each year but is legal as a motherfucker. Something is seriously wrong here.

There are people watching the net, and probably busting people. But those people are high paid people and they want career busts not little bits. Certain porn and big ops are probably the only at risk.
Surf this sites grow logs. You'll notice allot of ops dwarf yours. That makes them larger targets, And since no one(mostly) on this site actually know each other, It makes it kinda useless to go after small fries who might not even measure up to a fed crime.

Even if the mower came to this part of the lawn, your still a small blade of grass.

Yes, well done, I know that, it was a typo.

First Person: I, me

Second Person: you

Third Person: he, she it.

Referring to yourself by your name ...useless. (FYI - Names are proper nouns; "Person" refers to pronouns.)

PC :smokin:
