We are probably talking about apples and oranges here. Any debate about growing methods are not an issue and science behind GROWING is always evolving. I will go out on a bit of a limb on thinking the “science” has nothing to do with growing in this reference. I said it and I’m done on this letting any kind of political discussions be it red vs blue, weather, bud light, or a laundry list of many cultural issues being hot topic fodder that will only cause issues here. Some will use benign topics not grow related as a Trojan horse to leverage it into their pet social justice warrior cause.

And when they do, the mods take action. What are we driving at here? The rest of us can not enjoy ourselves with civil conversations about other topics because of a few bad actors?

You are kind of twistin words, and missing many points…
They are NOT saying to remove all catagoris not pot-themed…because many, like music, art, food, etc…are directly affected bythe use of pot- and/or the experience of a good high influenced by your activities and sensory input.
THOSE are NOT the same as Politics, religion and ‘anti-this-that-and-the other thing’’ rants against certain groups of people someone see’s as a threat to their way of thinking or way of life.
YES- rants about laws and groups directly connected to growing/legalization are supposed to happen here, and MAY get heated-- but are NOT the same as people ranting against political figures/groups, religions, incomes, races of people, LGBTQ etc…
.THOSE are what are a NO-NO.
If you wouldn’t (or shouldn’t, but are too dumb to know better) Start the argument with a group of strangers of all ages. races, etc… in person- then don’t do it here.
THAT was the pont.

Interestingly, I don’t recall ever seeing this before -
I’m not really sure I understand exactly what that means. Clearly it does not mean individual posts by different OGs must be 4 hours apart. I’m going to do something people often say not to do - I am going to assume it means a particular individual must wait 4 hours between post, or something else I’m just not seeing?
I will attempt to make a second post immediately after posting this one. You will hear back because I want to know. It’s obviously all about me! 
Update - I was correct.

It’s in slow mode and has been for a couple days now for everyone to keep from going sideways but seemingly we’re all kinds of off topic in some posts lol
But yes…users can only post once every 4 hours, so if you post now, you have to wait 4hrs to post in here again but I can post immediately after you but then I have to wait 4hrs to post again as well
It got me too lol

Phew it’s a good thing they slowed Jake down he was getting out of control!
I can’t believe the abusive boron sock puppet master is being defended (not by jake). It boggles the mind.

But I’m a mod so the cooldown doesn’t apply 
But yea… someone coming in and calling everyone idiots and flaming people for the way they grow simply because it doesn’t fit westcoastcroppers, or whatever name they are lurking around as now, view of how things should be done…
I agree that calmag is a little overused and overstated constantly, but no need to be a boron butthole and type one gigantic post calling themselves a grow God and above all the lesser mortals that use calmag and similar “fixes” and then just stop talking.
Not saying they don’t have great points, they just state them in such a passive agressive way that causes arguments and then the threads get out of hand and yada yada…
It’s not all about Boron and molybdenum and sulfur and …etc lol
Seriously though… f*ck boron haha

See what I mean? I’m not even talking science, and you’re already belittling me because I mentioned it. That’s sort of what I meant in the second paragraph.

Whatever, I’m not going to discuss rules with you.
Rules are rules, and should be the same for everyone.
If you are favorable to some topics off weed, all right I never said you shouldn’t, I am not twisting anything.
You are twisting right and wrong and confusing with popularity, so if most would like child abuse it would be ok? Come on, I think you can do better than that and with less capitals on the text.
But you write as you wish, not my concern.
The point is the point, censorship and we have that everyday, no one speaks freely or will be judged by others and labeled as something.
In a dumb way, I started a post and got the best of it, learned a lot and most important, I changed about that subject because I was educated by someone from a different culture and with a different background.
So I don’t regret to write on OG as a understanding comunity about a exestencial problem that was grinding my gears, and I also made a friend, probably got the best of it.
And you? You share your concerns freely? Or you choose the words to express yourself in a way that you can’t be judged and aim at the weaker link in order to sucess?
Yeah, because I sure feel a weak link being told that I manipulate words and being a new member with small suport… Sure it’s not important.
Important should be how honest are the players?
I have been a honest player, the words are there I just read them and thought about some nice posts I follow and used it as an example of how dynamic rules should be enforced.
Sure now I know the OG limitations, some lines can’t be crossed, like hamburger, if an elderly Indian OG comes start complaining how cows are sacred and stuff like that and sure I am aware of that but where actually is the line between aceptable or not?
(Apologies in advance to all OG India members, I am aware of your culture, and you also should be aware of mine, I just used it as an example, nothing racial or personal)
In fact I am not surprised with latest shooting rampages we have seen on TV, when you are lost and no one ear you and you affraid to talk because you will be judged, all that is left is rage to share with others.
But not leaving the point of this message that is to tell you that I am disappointed with your answer to me, we may not agree with everything but we can agree to keep it in a civil and educated way, that’s my point.

Wow…really?
THIS is EXACTLY what the Mods and Joe are talking about-- and even what I stated-- if you have issue with someone- take it to THEM or the Mods Privately-- not rant on the boards because you took offence at someone’s choice of words, or can’t handle people calling you out when you took what they said and misrepresented it.
So now-- personal attacks? Really?
And yeah–ask anyone here–I state my concerns-- but I ALSO usually do so in private because THIS kind of shit DON’T BELONG HERE ON THE BOARDS!

I may very well be someone who posted at least one of those 73, and for that I apologize. I admit it, I got caught up in the moment and wasn’t thinking about the thread’s actual topic. My bad. On the other hand, it has focused my mind on keeping whatever the topic is in mind.
I totally agree.

Thank you to LJ and the Mods.
One thing some are forgetting, 23 years ago, when OG came on line, from out of the newsgroups, if I remember correctly, the internet was the wild west, so to speak.
It was as if cavemen, could finally connect with each other.
The problem, it was all bash talk, bash replies, everyone came here, with fists up ready to fight, CAVEMAN era, if you will.
We NEEDED the Shark Tank, it HAD to be here, to try an gather up some type of house control, getting some sense, of this new thing, this message board, as it was, this place was just Fight Club!
Threads on how steal electricity, how to steal lights, all of this popped up, and had a time on the boards, until Shabang and company, had to do something. Yes, they deleted those.
Was that ending freedom? Was freedom doomed, nah.
I’m THRILLED with the changes, myself.
I came here, to grow weed.
The most free cannabis website is PlanteGanja. Some of the sharpest minds I’ve ever run into, are there. In the Political threads, lots of discussions, lots of bantering back and forth. I learned a lot from them. Well for 20 -30 active members still there.
Then much of that site is just crickets chirping.
This site, has come back, and ok it’s different than what it was, and I’m glad for if. We are in a different time of the internet.
We do not need more wild west, but go embrace it if you want to, to me that is freedom.
Thanks Lemonade Joe and tribe.

Actually… I think the slow mode thing is a great idea. Stop, think about what you’re saying or about to say and maybe- just maybe re-read what has already been posted and re-evaluate what you are about to post and how to say what you have to say in the best possible way you can.
