Question-sorry if you have been asked a million times.

[TallulahGreen]

Those of you who post pictures of your grow rooms, have you ever posted a picture of yourself on this site prior to posting pictures of your grow room?

Those of you who have, is your grow room legal or illegal?

Those of you who haven't, is it because your room is illegal, or you are just sketch in general? (i.e. of the feds or people who want to steal your plants).

...and do a lot of you who grow not post pictures of anything at all due to general paranoia?

Just trying to figure out how safe you all believe posting pictures of your room is(especially if you have already put pictures of yourself in different areas on this website)

Sounds like a good idea to get pointers and such on medical grows...then again...maybe not.

I apologize if you have all been asked this a million time, I don't often have time to frequent these boards-but always appreciate it when I do.
...also, sorry if I should have put this in a different forum!

Thank you!

I have posted this pic of myself .
I don't really go for posting pics of myself because I am a fairly private person , cannabis is still illegal in England but I am not that bothered about any come back from the law since the UK is nowhere near as strict as some places

i doubt even if this site is monitored that the feds are going to come after your for having a couple of plants and even if they do they dont really need your photo to do so

i don't post pics of myself as a safety precaution. If your posting on here to begin with, you don't really care about getting caught. But no feds come a knocking yet. :beatdeadhorse:

I don't post pics that show more than a handful of plants at a time.
And I don't post clear pics of myself.
I don't talk about commercial scale operations (I'm a hobby grower on a small scale) and never discuss smuggling or dealing.
I assume the Feds have far bigger fish to fry than lil' ol me.

I reckon if somehow you let the connection be made between your username etc & real life. And then if the police already wanted you & wanted to prove you were into it for a longer time than you were stating in court etc.. if they could they would. I would be pretty sure a site like this IS on the radar of the law & the easiest way for them to use data from a site like this is to use a robot crawler to harvest the website searching for certain strings, IP's & seperately identifyable domains.

If workers can be caught watching porn because a piece of software can identify pictures with 75% or more skin tones then this site could be crawled using several rulesets.

I don't post pics of myself or enough to even identify a room but I'm not overly worried about it. The site owner could tell from there stats package how many robot other's crawl the site or if the CIA/FBI is listed as a visiting domain. Ive seen there domain on many more innocent type sites than this.

IF the 'bad guys' want our identities, it is quite EASY ... takes only seconds for them to obtain your IP address, and identity ... I know you're already thinking, "you're 'OK' if you use a rotating IP proxy" ... nope, those just take a minute or so longer ... :wtf: ... I'm not saying you need to be paranoid, I'm only explaining that we are already 'exposed', it only requires the wrong people to pursue the process ... myself, I'm too old to live in fear ... :smokin:

The internet was basically designed by the government, DARPA.

Reaper is right, as soon as you connect to the web you start leaving an electronic "paper-trail," with everywhere you go, and everything you do. There's no use in trying to conceal yourself on the net from law enforcement, as all they have to do is get that warrant.

Well, on the point about internet anonymity, it is to be found. If you are only worried about law enforcement (or anyone else) tracking you down in real life, you should be browsing anonymously. Look up tor and privoxy and get the setup on your computer. You can browse, post images, download, etc., all while be routed through multiple IP addresses (making it much more difficult to trace you). So for those of you who are worried, download it.

On the point about pictures, I post every now and then. I do not grow pot now and have not grown for many, many years. I have a friend that grows and so I post pics of what he's doing. Since I do not grow, I'm not worried about law enforcement because I have nothing to hide. I have never posted a picture of my face because I do not want to be associated with them due to legalities; however, even if marijuana was legal to grow, I still would not put my face in pictures.
