I've got two questions (for Stinky)

[bluntblaze]

first things first.. why is talk of legal drugs againts the rules.. wouldn't that class things like talk of painkillers is against the rules aswell. (i know this is a privately owned site so whatever the owner wants.. happens, but i was just wondering.

second question.(for stinky)
i know this will probably piss you off (im sorry). but why did you ban mr weed? i didn't like him myself but i didn't know you could get banned for being a hipocrit.<(sp?)

ps i know it seems like i answered my own question there but im wondering if that WAS why you banned him.

She has no reason to get mad, you're only trying to clear something up. I'm sure she will understand that.

Well I can answer number one. It's a fairly simple answer: this is CANNABIS.COM. Not "Cannabis/otherlegaldrugs.com." People come here for cannabis-related information, so that's what we give them.

As for why Mr. Weed, or anyone, was banned....

Well, it's not like these are out of the blue. We're not stupid. The dude had a long history of infractions, and as a whole, brought the site down while contributing almost nothing of worth. Believe you me, being hypocritical won't get you banned. I'll let stinky explain more if she wants, but that's my take on it...

I realize you people get curious as to why certain members are shown the exit, but you gotta trust us when we tell you it was for good reason. Questioning our judgment doesn't exactly put a smile on our faces, eh? :jointsmile:

Mr. Weed made a personal attack, for which he was infracted.
Then, he had the audacity to post an instruction manual for being polite on the boards.
At the time of his infraction, his user profile was masked by another mr.weed profile that was not case-sensitive, so his infraction history was not visible even to moderators.
Sundance then removed the problem, and allowed us to view his infraction history.
He had 2 previous issues, and the obvious course of action was to ban him. It was just good timing on his part to post that thread that was generally insulting to canncom as a whole.

In general I don't feel the need to explain myself but no, we don't ban people for hypocrisy, don't worry. That post was a bit tongue in cheek...

I remember this thread. It was funnier than hell. Wasn't he insisting on proper spelling and punctuation too?

The guy woke up day and thought he was king of CanCom. Unfortunately for him, he forgot about the palace guards.

Sorry mate but I disagree. We all have the right to question, It makes us wiser. If someone who I liked was banned then I feel there is nothing wrong in me asking why. Some of the rules don't put a smile on my face but I suck it up and get on with it, I ask you to do the same. Don't let our questions get you down, there's no reason to

Not really. See you might like that person but it is their account and their confidentiality. Our responsibility is to the website, then that member. Most forums do not make it a habit to discuss bannings and there are many reasons from not wanting to cause resentments, rehashing the deleted subject matter, security concerns, exposing profile information only the mods have access to, etc. If someone was banned they are either banned because they asked to be or they broke a rule. It's that simple.

I don't know how knowing this is going to make you wiser. Some people don't like people all up in their business like a nosey neighbor. We are not here to humilate members either.

Would you like to go to the doctor for treatment of Aids, a sexually transmitted disease, pregnancy, impotence, etc and while you were walking out of the office have some guy come on over a loudspeaker and announce why you were there? I doubt it. Also see expungement.

Well ask that member and if you are that close to them you will know how to contact them and if they choose to, then they can tell you.

Again, I'm sure it doesn't bother most of us most of the time but we are not going to go around breaking someone's confidentiality and privacy just because you are curious.

I'm sorry, i fail to see how that analagy fits here...
Discussion of a member banned from an internet forum is not like having personal medical details revealed in public...

Well ask that member and if you are that close to them you will know how to contact them and if they choose to, then they can tell you.

I wasn't aware we were allowed to share contact details here?

I'm not trying to cause trouble man, just my opinion.

I don't really know what to say to this. Other than I think you've gone of course with your reply. IAP said we shouldn't question their judgment because it makes them unhappy. If I want to ask a question there is nothing wrong in that. I wasn't defining it to asking about banned members (using it as an example), I mean anything. If I want to question the rules then I can. If I want to question some one's moderating then I can. Although I guess it should be done over PM's as opposed to threads. However we don't have PM's, plus the report feature is for serious offences. I'm not saying I should be able to request a members private information. But asking if a member was banned over an unfair grudge (I don't believe that's what it was Stinky, just an example), or rule breaking is hardly a breach of privacy. The OP wasn't even asking that. They didn't even ask about the member, rather questioning stinky's actions. So there you have it. That is what I'm saying.

By the way can I have Mr. Weeds date of birth, e mail, home address, and phone number? Thanks.

I'm not trying to be asshole, but you just ripped into me for nothing. Assuming I'm some kind of fool.
