just another question about cannabis.com

[JaggedEdge]

let me clear my throat...

number 1...... skink is good shit...you be good yeag !!!

number 2...... as much as i know i will get flamed for this, i have to be honest..i went round and round about the age thing for a year here, before i was a mod...originally, it was because the owner didnt want to discriminate, and things were run much looser..then the site got bigger..and bigger..then it got sold..i do not know their reason for not making an adult site, but seeing as how this is more business orientated now, i think it kinda goes along with what bird was getting to about the 14 to 18 age bracket...i thought it would be great to have an adult portion of the site, but that was also shot down in past administration due to possible pedophiles..i dont mind the younger kids here, dont get me wrong, but sometimes adults want to hang out with adults....

i dont know if i even made any damn sense...

Maybe I'm dense.... But how would an "adult's only" section cause worry over pedophiles? As it stands now I think this site probably has a few pedophiles on here. Lets face it, there are a bunch of kids here and if there is a 14 year old on here looking for weed he/she would be a target for any pedo's lurking around.

Despite the fact you aren't supposed to ask for hookups etc. some people still have their AIM accts on here. If a 14 year old were to make a post about how he/she is have problems scoring bud, a pedo could easily IM that child and start talking to he/she outside the forum.

Sorry, I just don't understand how the fear of Pedophiles is reason to shoot down the adult only area...

I just don't think any place on the internet is safe from online predators and can't comprehend how a adult only section would encourage that kind of person. As it stands now, this site seems to have a lot of minors on here. That seems to me like it would encourage pedophiles to hang out here more so than an adult section.

Wouldn't they tend to stay away from something that is adult oriented...? and flock to something that is flooded with kids, some of them to trusting.

very good point

Besides...If we banned all the kids, where would you go to post yeag?

[the yeag]

gee bob I hope that was some Canadian humor. I spend half my time around here keeping noobs in-line and the other half in the grow lounge. Noobs and minors generally do not act up in there.

I'd go easy on the Canadian bashing, given your record here and the fact that I'm not the only Canadian here

oh boy bud

I'm 18 now but i joined this site a few years ago when i wasn't. I don't care what age anyone is, as long as they can be mature and share my interests surrounding cannabis.

I am still grappleing with that comment... AIM,Yahoo,MSN are the pedo targets,,,an open forum IMO has way less a chance to encourage pedo behaver... I thought about the "No PM" rule,,,I can clearly see how that is a deterrent... I am trying to correlate an adult section being a magnet and in my mind the open forum there again would put the kibosh on a perv...
