Who's deleting my posts and why?

I posed a link to a medical study about detection times and it was deleted. Why? Can't quite see what was inappropiate.

Because there are about 30 threads already with that same study in it and it's a bad study as it is used to try to violate people's probations with drug tests. It looks at older studies and tries to justify that when someone goes on probation, they should pass their first drug test in just a few days and if they don't it means they are still smoking. You also posted an inproper conclusion/summary to the study and you were giving people bad advice. So in short it was a duplicate thread, bad study, bad advice.

Got it?

fbr i hope you read this, i got a ban for mentioning a drug i shouldn't have mentioned. but i dont think it was me, i think it was the person in the forum below me, whose post is still there and didnt get banned.

Snowblind, that ban (a previous ban, I might add--not the one you received today) was because you did indeed mention another drug, for which you received an infraction on top of some pre-existing infractions, so it resulted in a ban. The post where you mentioned/recommended that other drug was deleted, as were several others.

Ok..got it...Um..why not expand the form to include more sticky's? Instead of just being a "smackdown moderator" with the swift ability to judge others and delete posts without extending an explanation or an initial warning?

Why not actually include some useful sticky information stating that the 30 some odd posts on the same thing are misinformation. It's been done millions of times for hundreds of thousands of topics on thousands of other forms.

This is not an oft discussed topic. There way too many sites trying to steal our money and very few that actually inform.

Oh get real dude and grow up and stop whining. We have a search feature and you could find these posts instead of having them spoon feed to you through a sticky. Next I'm not judging anyone so get over that. What I am doing is preventing people from misinforming others on drug testing. Drug testing isn't like giving someone advice on how to roll a joint or how to make a gravity bong. People's jobs, freedom, child custody, etc may be on the line and when someone posts bad information I am the first one to correct them and tell others the correct information. If something is posted that might be detrimental to people passing drugs tests and cause them to lose their freedom or job or children my judgement in this section is proven so I will delete posts or threads if needed and respond to posts if needed. Don't bitch at me about how you posting the study (which to me it looks like you posted it without fully understanding it) and then get upset with me because I didn't explain the study to you. I'm a moderator and not your butler. Had you paid more close attention to it you would have seen the flaws in the study as well as it being biased towards putting marijuana users in jail for dirty drugs test, not trying to keep them out.

Well that study is trying to give probation officers and judges the right to steal our freedom and you were the one posting it giving others a false sense of hope. I don't always have time to repeat myself for the 100th time nor do I always want to. You should have seen some of the advice going through this section for the longest time and now it is filled with great advice from me and others (Jeff/Winston, Killerweed420, Jerry G, Birdgirl, Burnt Toast,Happiestmfoutthere every once in a while, and many others whose names escape me right now) so for you to sit there and post that I delete posts instead of offering explanations of why something is wrong is quite shortsided of you. With these people's help as well as others that successfully pass their tests or people who read good accurate posts from me and others, there seems to be a tread of more people subbing, better results from dilution, and people learning how to improve your chances of passing a hair test. You've been a member for less than a week which doesn't take away from any of your rights to post on here but before you try to go off on something that you are wrong about, go back and look through all my posts in this forum and how many threads are directed at me asking me questions because they know I will set them straight and how I respond to them. I have helped more than my fair share of people beat the man, you can bet on that.

I find your post to be borderline trolling so this is your warning. If you don't know what trolling is or a troll is, there is a sticky in the feedback section. You are trying to start a fight over something that is a non issue because you are very wrong about my style of answering questions and responding to posts in the drug testing forum. Maybe had you asked for an explanation of where the flaws are I wouldn't consider it trolling but to try to sit there and say I'm judging you or imply that I don't give useful information is silly. To ask for a warning is silly too because you didn't receive an infraction so what do you what a warning for, a warning that I'm about to delete your thread?

Now relax, smoke some (see if it was me I would sub and forget about trying to dilute or calculate my clean date or whatever and not even stop smoking), read some more of my posts here and
have a good Christmas and beat your drug test. :jointsmile:

I appreciate the response. I'm not trying to troll. I just think it might be easier to have some of the easily "googled" misinformation called out so that you don't have to post something one hundred times and first time visitors with the same fears as I know what to believe and what to avoid.

I, like many others, just want to pass my test. I want to smoke, in fact, after reading your last line, I'm extremely tempted, but I've been clean for over two weeks now and I would love to pass this test with my own piss instead of strapping something to my leg or diluting.

With regards to the study, I was calling out the specific section that states that the generally accepted numbers are often not correct. IE...it many times takes less time to get clean than all the sites say it does. Many times people say that have been clean for n weeks but in fact have smoked. The numerous sites that are pedaling product want to scare you into purchasing something that a) won't work or b) will show up because of adulterant testing. I hope that clarifies things a bit.
