@LoveDaAutos I’ll pick on you since you’re active right now
So to be sure I’m understanding correctly below is ALL a new member has to do to to get to trust level 1? That would take what about an hour?
They can get to trust level 1 by…
I won’t defend myself but feel free. I do so love being compared to DrGonzo13
Giving an example of “yes, this dude is solid, let me trade with him” and then DrG.
Missing nothing in here i see…
I feel same way as shag does, think it’s bullshit, but realize more rulez are not the answer. The gall thye have to join up, then instantly dm for a cut, just blows my mind. No comments in my thread, no nothing.
From now on, anyone who gets anything from me will be one who partisipates in my threads, or i offer it up.
All i have to say on this
I heard that @lophophora.ca guy is the worst of them all. Everybody go check out his thread to see all of the scams he has going on, and be sure to like his posts to bring awareness to all of his shady doings.
Can’t beat this kind of exposure.
I am trying to eat my lunch and you are causing me to choke.
Yes, that is correct, and it makes my point for me.
@DrGonzo13 would still be here scamming seeds if he was not forcibly stopped.
So it would have continued on maybe forever?
Should we expect the same thing to happen with the next scammer?
Where do we draw the line?
Make no mistake the current line drawn is when you screw the site out of money.
That seems a bit too late for me.
I know I’ve seen it mentioned here a number of times by some longtime Overgrow members. On a different site they offer two levels for members. To move from level one to level two you start a grow journal, start from seed and go all the way through jarring up the fruits of your labor. Doing this you’ve become invested in the site and have put in some effort to reach “the next level” .
Something to consider as I believe it would eliminate a certain element.
Discussion is good : )
Issue is not everyone is in a safe place to publicly document all of their grows, and it still would not affect the hard core scammers. Hugh_glass and drgonzo13 both had journals here.
Trust level is not a good indication of trust at all.
Trust level only indicates you are a regular poster ect.
It is not hard to get Trust level 3, not hard at all.
And trust level 3 does not mean you can be trusted, how can it if it is only based on post count etc.
A trade based trust level would be a great addition.
You could see what was given and what was received.
That would be awesome. 
But as I have been told, this is not my site and I should mind my own business.
So I am throwing it out there if anyone wants to bit, but please see is as nothing more than that.
Some folks are still in unfriendly areas. It would be unfair to members who don’t feel safe posting a grow.
Yes they played the longer game for the bigger reward
But they were still relatively new yet overly trusted by a lot of members
Well just being honest the current requirements to advance trust levels is a bit too easy I’m thinking. I don’t trust the trust levels.
I checked out that @lophophora.ca guys page. Anyone who spends that much time in the bathroom…
We have now shown several examples of very giving folks starting to pull back on their generosity.
More will soon follow.
Are we really going to continue pretending this is not happening?
Someone said something about reality earlier.
If you say it is not happening, you are not in touch with my reality anyway…LOL
The 2 do seem to be different…so there is that. 
as someone who i guess is going to move up to level 2 tonight when i post my first thread that seems a bit easy
Base your trust on interactions. Get to know people, that’s the only true way to really gain trust. 
I can’t help but wonder if they were/are one and the same.
Could they also be JamesLax, Eagles009, and numerous others?
I’m wondering how widespread the issue actually is. One with a dozen sock accounts. Or a dozen with a single account?
I suspect I’ll never know, and suspect many here won’t care. That’s fine… I’ll just need to adapt.
