Mod Help please

[Fet]

I would of liked to add this to my post but cannot edit..lol

I found this in FAQ top header bar..

Can I edit my own posts?
If you have registered, you will be able to edit and delete your posts. Note that the administrator can disable this ability as he desires. Your ability to edit your posts may also be time-limited, depending on how the administrator has set up the forum.

To edit or delete your posts, click the button by the post you want to edit. If your post was the first in the thread, then deleting the post may result in the removal of the entire thread.

After you have made your modifications, a note may appear, which notifies other users that you have edited your post. Administrators and moderators may also edit your messages but this note may not appear when they do so.

Looks to be very misleading "may also be time limited" to late if 10 minutes later I realized my picture posted was not edited correctly and my finger prints are displayed in the picture..ouch or I find I uploaded the wrong pictures and my PC crashes while doing it and it takes time to get back online or if at all?
Major safety issues to consider on NO valid reason why editing should not be enabled to users..

NowhereMan you really need to grow up , laughing at what has happened to good people is SAD!..you are not worth my time!

Zandor fair enough but with all the problems in the world today safety is of importance.
I'd hate to see another member of a site do extra time because he was sharing and helping others.
It's usually only the poster who can make a call if their safety is at risk and for some freak reason they need to have items deleted.
Fine example is today, my pc crashed last night I returned today to find I'm still logged in. Now if a not so friendly user such a tech guy to fix my pc hit history and found I was Fet on this site , Id atleast like the option to remove any info that might risk my safety, such as pictures etc
Whos to say , a canna hater of such sorts might decide to inform LEO of my activities online and there is no possible way I could remove any info from this site...very risky.
It could be a picture as harmless as my pet dog that has me linked and busted.

If you want credible informative posts with pictures the site needs to look out for the safety of its members.

ok pal just go read this .

actually im not luaghing at anyone ? untill now
and in fact thought i was being helpfull if not short about responding.
so if i waisted your time just think how i felt about it,
u took my words as some insult>?or smart ass remark?
i guess we think differently,
you were wrong becuase ya just dont know me when i want to insult or be a smart ass i sure can.but i want to make myself clear now
and if you think im being a smartass then UNCLINCH your cheecks and think about it agian.
was giving advise.
and i will repeat the most important part

dont post anything ya dont want to last forever,
or could ever get u in trouble.

here or anywhere.

peace

NOTE: This is the Feedback and Suggestions area

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is the Feedback and Suggestions area - your feedback helps make this service better.

Clearly credible suggestions are being posted that will help the safety of others and they are being ignored .
Why add to the risk of members when it can be lowered?

Instead of quoting a privacy policy why not work in a positve way to help lesson the chances of some one being busted?
Why not we all just give up on trying to free the weed and just start quoting the law....every time some one asks a question?..lol..lame!

[Cannabis.com]

We listen and do respond to suggestions / feedback when we can ... ie. there's a 5 minute edit window; originally there was going to be none.

The only way to be totally private is not to post on the internet anywhere; disconnect completely - editing / deleting a message (similar goes for email, webpage, chat, IM, etc too) after the fact doesn't automatically make it disappear...

Information is often retained in ways that are not obvious - ie. for persons running on Windows XP and similar, some of their browsing activity is logged in multiple undocumented index.dat files, which are hidden; clearing browser history, etc doesn't erase the content of such files.

Nowhereman aptly quoted the portion of the Privacy policy that puts this whole privacy issue into layman's terms ...

Bottom line, it is ultimately up to visitors to protect their privacy and understand that there is no such thing as 100% privacy on the internet nor in the real world for that matter. It all comes down to managing risk and how much one is willing to accept.

Again to reiterate, privacy / risk management is the responsibility of the poster not us - when one posts a message on any publicly accessible message board, they should rightly assume the public, potentially including law enforcement, is going to view their message; save/archive it.

Such risks can in all honestly only be reduced by the poster ... once one posts, what happens to their message is out of their hands, and out of our control - deleting, editing, etc after the fact won't make the message disappear for those folks who have already viewed it; archived it.

On a related topic, when one publishes (the boards is a publishing medium) their thoughts intended for others in the public (even if only limited to a sub-set) to read, it become part of the collective commons; no longer completely theirs...

To put this in layman's terms - how would you like to read a thread, especially one you had taken time to post in, and then later find much of the thread missing because of deleted posts - that's not fair to those seeking information, and especially not to those who took the time to respond; del has already hit upon this issue before.

Finally, again to reiterate for the zillionth time, privacy is ultimately the responsibility of the poster - as the old saying goes "loose lips sink ships" ... if one doesn't want others to know about something, don't tell them; don't post about it on public message boards, etc.

That's why they created programs such as Evidence Eliminator and many others to help the average user clear such information.
What I also noticed is dozens of users online with no movement on the site is it because people fail to log out when leaving?
I looked about and I see no options to set for auto time/log out for users like other sites that are concerned about their members safety.
8yrs this site has been running and still problems here.
The last thing I want is some nosey person on my pc tracking my every movement because I failed to log out. Just maybe it might be Leo who has taken my pc and now has a free run "Danger"

To put this in layman's terms - how would you like to read a thread, especially one you had taken time to post in, and then later find much of the thread missing because of deleted posts - that's not fair to those seeking information, and especially not to those who took the time to respond; del has already hit upon this issue before.

Ron if parts of the post were missing and it saved another brother or family from going through hell I wouldnt care...
A little bit of txt /images is nothing compared to years in jail that some one might have to suffer...clearly you are missing the point!
So you would trade a brother to leo just so you can have a thread that will bury itself into your data base and lucky to be viewed again.

To put this in layman's terms safety should be more important to this site then some missing posts!

But I will state I would very annoyed to read a post that gave misleading info risking grows, safety,methods and the health of members on this board.
How often does a person search to read only the first part of thread that they felt answered their question. But to later find the info was incorrect and the poster had NO option to edit it correctly.
Yeh sure they could post another message 5 pages later stating an error but the damage is already done.
And I know for a fact I post info and later come back and add more to the original post to save members sifting through piles of rubbish.

Clearly it seems it seems you are more intent on filling the board with any information right or wrong and care nothing about the safety of others.

Now I understand why I left here 6-7 yrs ago along with many others such as Vic High, Chimera, Uncle Ben, Mr xx Cees etc etc Sadly since those days this site has always been referred to as cannaforkids..sad but true.

misleading would be to tell you its safe to post anything anywhere and expect it to be secure at all times,cant be done,if they want the info they can get it,AND IF THAT AINT CLEAR,put it this way
how would you like to be thinking ITS SAFE and its not.

how can you expect editing ya post or deleting it to protect you if your dum enough to post something that COULD be used somehow to arrest ya ?

ron is telling ya plain,it aint safe to post sensitve info
dont do it,here or anywhere,honest would be tell ya ITS NEVER a good idea to put up a post with something you can be busted for.

"Clearly it seems it seems you are more intent on filling the board with any information right or wrong and care nothing about the safety of others. "

clearly you dont see he is .
Clearly it seems you cant comprehend that premoting the idea of a non secure site as secure is BULLSHIT first class and would in fact do just what you say you dont want to happen,
cuase people to post things and get them busted thinking its SO SAFE and all,afterall the average poster knows what a cop would use and what not?now wouldnt he?

aint it better that everyone knows its not,and no one think it is safe

i know for a fact ron wants us all safe but he cant hold your hand while u post,(your pics of your grow,and pic of your house and street,ect)that is up to the poster and nobody else.


not to give you a hard time but dam dude what ya want the man to do fix this place to suit you personally?

use it,or dont jeesh

I have listed a number of CREDIBLE reasons to turn this 5 minute feature off example: incorrect info posted,updates and risking peoples safety all because you don't want to see some shitty posts deleted...(sad and selfish)
You would rather give LEO an extra hand to jail or ruin a members life just so you can have your board full of possible incorrect posts.
I guess as long as your safe who gives to shits about some one who might slip up.
Stuff that member if he makes a mistake he should of read "the site policy"..!

Or could it be let's display to our sponsors how much turn over we have "right or wrong "and the more we can charge for our advertising....lol

This thread and actually suggestion forum is a complete waste of time as clearly other issues out weigh the one poor reason for not allowing to edit

This is the only site that I know of that has no consideration for it's members safety.
...shame shame..

[latewood]

the only reason any time was wasted here ...FET...is because YOU don't get it!
It would be a bigger security risk to let any idiot that got a wild hair up their ass to run amuck and screw up the continuity of threads....5 minutes is more than enough,
other sites I belong to, don't even allow that...I assure you this is the last second I will waste on this BS

one poor reason?
to you only.
here is the reason i will right it big
RON CANNOT GUARANTEE YOUR SAFETY SO HE SAYS SO UP FRONT
AND DOES NOT MISLEAD YOU ABOUT IT,

so stay here posting or not,your chioce and quiet frankly
i dont care at this piont if ya ever belong anywhere

whats sad and selfish is you want shit to fit your way
and you been here what 4 days>?
dude get ya own site and run it how ya like
leave us alone here if ya DONT like it Leave it.
shit is it not simple ?
why make such a production out of your paraniod dillusions
the shame is u dont seem smart enough to see it anyway but yours.
and of course then your never wrong are you

he does consider your suggestions,if its a good one, will be used if not,NOT.
Peace
