I'm not complaining, I rather like the new system especially the social groups, but doesn't this COMPLETELY contradict what the board has said in the past in regards to enforcing some social rules?

-- Specifically, the messageboards are reserved for primarily medical marijuana and INFORMATIVE cannabis talk.
if you are not a medical marijuana patient or interested in anything medical marijuana related and ONLY interested in social posting, than these messageboards are NOT for you. If you are posting purely off-topic social threads in the messageboards, consider that your posts will be deleted and your account reset. You must be 18 and over.

What is an off-topic social thread?

Any of the following are considered social threads, "Anyone from ...?" "Rate the avatar above", "Talk about someone.[another member of the forum].", "Where is [another member of the forum.]", threads about any RECREATIONAL marijuana talk, other drugs, any homemade smoking devices and/or how you made them, talking about your pickup from a dealer, and or any thread with content other than medical marijuana or be deemed INFORMATIVE CANNABIS INFORMATION will be considered off-topic social threads and NOT ALLOWED ON THE MESSAGE BOARDS

-- THIS IS NOT A SOCIAL MESSAGE BOARD. NO SOCIAL THREADS.
like I said, I particularly enjoy these new features but it seems fairly obvious that these tools are for nothing more than socializing. Friends lists? Comments/messaging? And "Social" groups which really can be made about anything (although I suspect a mod can remove it, but in that case you're just creating more work for the mods).

This is a legitimate question and not me just bringing up something that's moot. What is the direction cannabis.com is trying to go; right now it seems to be contradicting itself.
