Alright, it's time I point it out now because it's starting to get annoying for other people as well.

I was warned a few months ago for having the sig: "DAMN it feels GOOD to be a GANGSTER" - the lyrics from the song by Geto Boys from the movie OFFICE SPACE. I was warned and given the message to "PLEASE keep the gang crap off the forums." And as stupid as it was, my signature was erased for having a lyric.

After ignoring my email to him, I dropped it and didn't bring it up again. It was not worth bitching at a busy moderator who only gave me a warning.

After seeing other people getting warned for swearing, I'm not urged to post something about these unfair warnings and punishments. People swear left and right on this forum with sigs ranging from "FUCK YOU AMERICAN GOVERNMENT" to simple rap songs relating to maryjane (and what rap song doesn't contain some form of bad word these days?)

This is getting pretty dumb, and people are leaving over it. Please give us a FAIR explanation if I'm doing something you have a problem with. Gang crap on the forums? There are dealers, unrelated drug posts, and I even witness other members insulting newer ones for asking a question, all ganging up on certain members, posting until they realize the topic poster already left from being called a moron 100+ times.

Thanks for the response in advance, I'm in no way insulting your duty as a mod, because the mods are the reason this board stays alive from LOCS - lack of common sense (lol).

Smoke on,
Willard

...I think I heard a bell...??...

Most certainly:

http://boards.cannabis.com/cannabis-...dank-shit.html

This member (assuming unknowingly) brought pictures to the board of some weed that wasn't to the expectations of the Cannabis.com forum members. I am not pointing out the comments that people were saying about the weed, but the members deliberately insulting him because of his bad weed, or even the fact he thought it was good. A NEW member...

If it wasn't outrageous enough, it was LOCKED, and I'm truely hoping it was for the purpose of keeping the assholes of the thread out. This is one of many examples, this is definetly not the first time I've seen it. This was the last post this member ever gave.

and edit: Gangs? This was a song. Worst of all members are still agreeing with me that it was pretty rediculous to have a sig with the word "gangster" in it removed. If people didn't realize it... this is the year 2007:

As I just said, I am not pointing out the fact that people are insulting his bud, but that people are insulting him FOR his bud! The fact that his weed didn't meet the expectation of the average cannabis.com member drove him to leave the community.

People may question the importance of this member? Well, he loved Cannabis, and the world won't get closer to legalizing by driving people to think that cannabislovers are also pickycannabisuserhaters.

First off, people aren't given infractions simply for cursing. It's using a few "certain" words that are offensive to some people. Yes, that means both the N and C words..

Secondly, the mods DO try and catch all the personal attacks, but we're bound to miss one here and there. But I assure you, these instances where you claim a new poster asks a question only to be insulted a number of times RARELY happens. If it does, the proper actions ARE taken, trust that.

As far as the gangster thing goes, yeah, it's pretty much what mini-mod billy said: that type of crap simply isn't welcome here. I know, I know, Office Space is a good movie, lol, and I too find myself singing that song, but still, you've got to respect sundance's wishes. It's his house. We're all GUESTS here, ya dig?

I'm sure P4B will be along to throw his 2 cents in, but I figured I'd throw mine at there as well. Take it or...leave..lol. :jointsmile:

PEACE ~

Take it or... leave?

I wasn't even threatening to, especially over a topic of such importance.

I have been failed by the moderators to explain to me which rule I broke? I need some clarification as to the rules if there are RULES that aren't even posted.

i think wannabe mod d bag may be a more appropriate title:twocents:

LOL, nor was I threatening..it's just how it goes. I was simply speaking in generalities. Either play by the rules or leave type of thing..

And no, there are no unspoken rules. BUT if a thread is made in bad taste, a mod has the right to delete it using his/her best judgment. This topic has also been beaten to death in the past, as other members have tried questioning why this thread or that thread got deleted. A mod has the final say, and always will, so there's no use arguing over it.

As for what rule you broke, I think I'm a bit lost. You don't have any infractions or warnings, so maybe I'm missing something.:wtf:

What no cute graphic?

Nah, those are JUST for you big guy. ;)

Exactly - yet my signature is missing anyway. Running around with a diaper full of dookie (poop) on your head isn't welcome in downtown Toronto, Canada. But there's no god damn rule that says you can't do so, and you know how the enforcement acts about people running around with a diaper full of crap on their head? They don't.

Thank you for the clarification on members being dealt with for posting hateful comments, but what about the fact my sig was taken down for nothing? And that when I asked for a response on the subject it was ignored by him? I'm hoping it was missed, but other members seem to have the same problem as I.

EDIT: and when I say for doing "nothing", I mean, "nothing in which has broken any posted rules".

Awwwww. I feel special

Well, See you woke up on the wrong side of the rock this morning. Fact is I DID send you a reply and I also responded to your last thread months ago in this very forum. NOT TO MENTION when I was in chat that night dealing with a couple members you were in there crying like a damn baby on how I was picking on you. Why the hell didnt you bring it up to me when I went off stealth? OHHHH, didn't think I saw that line of crap huh?

GET OVER YOURSELF! Fact is there are 1000's of posts in here each day and we all do our best to get what we can. NEXT, if having little punk ass gang bang bullshit in your sig is so important to ya I think you may have hit the wrong site.

How many months ago was this again..........DAMN, just like my f'n ex-wife!

Have a good one!:jointsmile:

Mini Mod,,,LoLzzz... How bout Milly Vanilly Mod...

We can't talk about ways to make money? I don't know, I feel like I broke a few of these rules, but I never directed any of it at another member. The N word and the C word. . .Whats the C word. . .lol, i think I know but lol.
I have said beaner a few times and haven't heard anything about it, do you consider that an insult. Again I was talking about myself.

W/E though, "Banning would be a stoned groove", As much as I love this site, I don't think I could back down from someone giving me a hard time for no reason. I also am sick of the haters on this site, I am not trying to point fingers at any certain member, but they are around and they do get away with it almost daily. . .not anyone here at the moment so don't get defencive. . .

Wow Psycho4Bud, I have to say, I've never seen you act less like a mod. I'm posting my FEEDBACK, it looks like you'll just have to live with it.

Second of all, I've never posted on the subject. So you're wrong again.

Third of all, I brought it up in chat to maybe get some clarification since you weren't giving me any. I never did recieve an email response or PM from you, checking both my junkmail and inbox everyday for the following 2 weeks knowing you would overreact to my legitiment complaint. And silly-ass gang bullshit? You have a picture of the godfather in your avatar, so don't talk to me about "gang bullshit". It's not like I wrote the lyrics to "I'm so fly" in my sig.

As I said, I am fully aware my situation is old, but others complain as well.

Down with flaming...


(a thread aint a thread without a pointless robert42 post lol)

Send one of us an e-mail so we know what to be looking for and it'll be taken care of. There is NO ONE MEMBER in here that is so damn special that they got a free ride. WE DO OUR BEST.........that's all we can do on our spare time in here.

Have a good one!:jointsmile:

Psycho4Bud, I would like a response as to why you're LYING now.

I didn't post any topics about this situation. You failed to give me a response via email oh so long ago, so I need your response now. You're also insulting me for no reason, there's no need to call me a damn baby OR tell me to get over myself. You are a mod, you have a duty to set a god damn example, how about acting mature to a thread that was presented to you mature. And one giving you the message that this thread is in no way insulting your powers as a mod. I believe it is YOU that woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning.

Yeah, I don't think their are free rides being given away. I just think they slip by. . .But, it's cool I'm not trying to snitch, next time I catch them though I'll make sure it gets the attention it deserves. . .

I for one think gangs are tearing up the moral fiber of our country,,,let alone cities... I think a staunch position is not only needed but,,,commendable...

hey Skink your needed in the Tech room. . .lol, sry just being lame before I go to work. . .

Okay people, move along, there's nothing to see here!

Have a good one!:jointsmile:

i dont think they ever got to that part when their cd started to skip. i actually think they just took off.

I agree with willard_420 100 percent on this one Psycho4Bud. You do have a gang related picture in your avatar. I searched the forum for posts made by willard_420 and he in fact did not make a thread, so what thread did he "make" that you referring to?

Also i again have to agree with willard_420 Psycho4Bud, on the fact that you're an moderator on a FEEDBACK forum. Is the point of this area not to give members an opportunity to give some constructive criticism on the daily happenings of this community. I do respect the work done around these forums to keep them running smoothly, but as an MODERATOR your job is to set examples, be fair, unbiased, and most of all UNDERSTANDING. I'm reading this forum and i am seeing some very inappropriate things for you, the moderator, the "helping hand" to be saying. When you read this Psycho4Bud, i want you to know this isin't personal, or anything of that nature, it's just one member trying to give some FEEDBACK for the BETTER of this amazing community.

I know this is none of my business but for what it's worth...I don't think gang related things should be on this forum, BUT I do think that willard deserved an initial explanation as to why his sig was flamed (especially since he didn't break a forum rule). Also, Psycho, I want to believe that you DID send him and email and that you are correct about him already making a thread about this. So please direct me to that thread. As a mod, I would assume that you are honest...and I don't want to have to think otherwise. I am quite disappointed by your response to Willard. :(

(this is Feedback after all)

I've got to agree with one thing: The "Godfather" definitely represents a gang figurehead.


Have a good one! :thumbsup:

I didn't want to say it... but I agree.

Here is my take...The rules are set in stone so to speak...After that it is the climate of the times. As at most sites; Admin has turned the site over to the Moderation team. As a team along with input from the community, we decide what is or is not appropriate. This always kills me too! Why is it that you disgruntled members cause friction after being corrected or scrutinized on someone elses property? I have never gone to a forum and questioned the way it was run. If I don't like the way a forum runs, or people there or the Mods rule; Then I don't login. I am always astounded that someone has the gaul to act as if they have rights to do or say as they please. Like they own the place.

Oh well, enough of that rant.

As far as your siggy...Sorry. We don't care if it came from a funny movie...We don't do gangsta here. And, as P4B touched on. As "You" put it..."It is just a line from a song. right? So what's the problem? After all; It is just a line from a song. Peace

Isn't a "gangsta" the same thing as a gangster? Where I come from, "Godfathers" are gangsters.

Say something P4B, explain to them that there is a time and place for things, and this is not a place for such things like gangs/egos. Again, I got to say that he should of been able to keep his Sig. because it was representing his person, not threatening to others. Just like your Av, it's just something that makes you who you are.

Hey BA...Actually I didn't see that until I came back.

Yeah, the Godfather is a gangster type figure head, Uh...But, I think that is a picture of Marlon Brando...Isn't it?

Besides: I know you are intelligent enough to realize this. It is the abrasive implications & mentality of the genre that is offensive to the community as a whole. Peace

That is a picture of Marlon Brando as Vito Corleone, the semi-fictional title charater of the "Godfather" movies about the Cosa Nostra, from the book by Mario Puzo. The characters in the books and movies were based on, and very similar to, real criminals that were, and still are, running huge criminal enterprises.

I do not believe that mobsters like Frank Costello, Vito Geneves, etc., are any better than the "ganstas" that are not supposed to be referred to here. In fact, in many respects, I think that they are worse.

If you want to get rid of gangster images, than you have to get rid of the Mob images as well. There is nothing glamerous, or worthwhile, about any of them.

It's only my opinion.
