lots of banning

[Nation_1ne]

Posts and accounts could be purged due to clutter on the forum. Some accounts are made then they are inactive for years on end. Same with old threads or posts, they maybe deleted to make more room.

I suppose it's like any forum really, flame and insult people and your not gonna last long. Nothing wrong with a debating...or even the odd "im so high" post...right? Theres no point in posting if your gonna insult everybody or be an ass...If the mods decide to ban somebody I guess it's up to them and the person who was banned to discuss it in private...
I hate forums where banned posters keep re-registering just to say "iM bAcK LOLZ"

-two seconds later, they are banned again

If I got banned and wanted to come back so bad I'd at least try to talk to the mods....failing that re-register and never speak of a previous account again. Im sure people have done it...now im rambling for the sake of rambling..

with the instatement of the duplicate rules 14 and 15 cancom has become less than it was. one of this sites many endearing qualities was that it was a community. a community consists of folks of differing opinions, different backgrounds, different social and economic standings and varied ages. by cutting adrift those members under the age of 18 we are depriving ourselves of the (occasionally) valuable contributions of youth. despite their immaturity, many of those we have now abandoned were an integral part of this community and their loss will be felt by even the most curmudgeonly among us.

for quite some time now i have been noticing a number of posts complaining about the flippancy of our youngest members. every time i saw one of these rants my first thought was, "are these people so insecure that they can't stand a little childish banter?" such youthful exuberance should be embraced, but that is obviously not the general consensus of opinion here at cancom. instead of those childlike additions to the general conversation, we are now reduced to the childish rantings of old farts like me.

i am sure that some of our youthful brothers and sisters will return. they will rejoin us under different names and falsified ages, but their first act upon returning will be a lie. we are teaching the necessity of deceit, what a wonderful legacy for a community of supposedly free souls.

though there might very well have been some legal reason for this change, it's a pity that some compromise couldn't be reached. rules and regulations, the bane of our existence, are never set in stone and there must be some way to keep us from losing this link to what we all once were.

but then, i'm just a crazy old hippie and it might be just as well that this site age, wither and die. i am, after all, just a wandering foole and i'm sure i'll be able to find another place to crash after this one has burned to the ground. it won't be as nicely furnished as this one and i doubt the neighbors will be quite so friendly. such is life.
:hippy:

by the way:
"burned to the ground" was a metaphor. i'm an incredibly nonviolent soul these days and, as such, i'm nearly incapable of of even uttering a threat except in jest.

DoN this rare abandoment of your usual levity is telling of your true intelligence.
I admit I'm one who will quickly complain about 'the kids' when they talk about putting their parents in danger with an unauthorized grow.
But the deeper truth is that you are correct in your observations that 'losing this link to what we all once were' is something that ideally would have been avoided.
I admire you and your acceptance.
