no, no there doesn’t. there has to be a website, ran by moderators by the rules of the owners, and if anyone doesn’t like it they are free to start their own website with their own rules and moderators. how is this the one fact that everyone is missing?
at least a few more days, then another thread will pop up, so…forever?!?
no, it is not all you are trying to say here, you have been advocating for changing the rules and making them more restrictive, thus affecting me along with everyone else. i very much do not like others looking out for my interests, especially when doing things that are completely against my nature. in the words of cool hand luke, i wish you’d stop being so nice to me boss…
Disclaimer : I’ve never received a single seed from anyone via this site. I don’t trade and have no dog in this fight as it doesn’t affect my usage of the site.
It’s a bit baffling that in these recurring discussions about seed sharing the person seeking seeds is always the one that gets scrutinized. Probably bordering on heresy to question the ‘selfless’ members who have built a loyal following of members frothing at the mouth for the next freebie. The presence of RNG giveaways to boost engagement in threads or just ones own status creates a situation where you’re leaving food out constantly, only to get mad when rodents show up.
The fact is, everyone here is free to give their seeds to whoever they want. If they want to limit it or not is on the person giving away the seeds. Not the people trying to win or bid on them.
If you’re mad that someone who never contributes to the site won the beans, that’s only on you and you should think about why that makes you mad.
If you got scammed in a trade, it pays to be mindful of who you deal with. There are plenty of tools here to find history on a user. If it all looked good and he scammed you anyways, like dr.gonzo13, call it out. That’s the best we can do.
At no point should we be forcing others to limit who they can deal with because YOU don’t like it.
I will send you some Red GSC if you send me an Address @YOLO.T
Welcome and Thanks for speaking-up. Now, see what you’ve done, you’ve got all the Guru’s bouncin. Were phuk’d now
The only thing we as individuals can do, is to control our own actions.
maybe we should all worry more about ourselves than others. most of these “scammers” haven’t done anything other than obtain free things on false pretenses and haven’t actually scammed anything. some have taken folks for money or not followed through with a trade, but most of what is being complained about is folks getting too much for nothing. yeah it sucks, but it will always happen, no way around it except taking humans out of the equation. hell it took about a year for men to fuck up jesus’ teachings.
pretend i’m from missouri - show me. how can i address it if i can’t see it? it’s a perspective thing since so many don’t see it, but i would like to try. it’s how i am, i solve problems, but not if i can’t see them.
You do no have this right at all, please reread the thread for the proper info.
I have stated my opinion on this topic very clearly and it was nothing like you state.
Wow, that is very far from the truth.
You comprehension could use some work bud.
Hmm?
It does?
Please quote me on that one.
Please explain clearly how I am trying to stop you from doing anything.
You may actually need to read what I posted though…LOL
It is not, I am confused.
You seem to know more about what I think than I did.
I have?
Hmmm?
I don’t think I have, but feel free to quote me.
But for this you may need to read what I posted.
I did not even mention your name.
You can hang out with scammers if that is your thing, I do not care, just don’t bring them around me.
Thanks
again, i’m missing the point entirely but will try to expand. have there been folks getting seeds given to them and reselling them at a profit? have folks been getting seeds given to them under multiple accounts? have there been folks getting a lot of free seeds by asking for them, with sob stories and reasons they lost things? have folks been getting seeds and not paying for them? have there been folks saying they lost seeds and having them resent?
i’d say those are all possible scams, but are they increasing and if so why?
there are fixes in place for all of them without imposing rules to restrict anything i do. things like creating your own sub-community and restricting access on your own, or just not sending seeds to members under trust level 2, that sort of thing. why go to all the trouble to try to make me mad too? i’m over here having a great time enjoying the good things while staying the hell away from the bad. i get all the satisfaction from helping i need from helping with the problems and learning myself. why bother concentrating on something and inventing your own stress? it makes no sense.
And @shag you very much are trying to impose your will onto me, regardless of whose name you mention. just because you are in a tiff doesn’t mean we need to add rules to what everyone (mostly anyways) else thinks is a great website which is generous and loving and welcoming. now i am new, so maybe back in the good old days when og came back it was different, but i’ve only seen one sub-community created where you have to apply for membership.
oh, and the telling part was referring to the reference to the color of the people. there is a group of folks who i know that use that sort of phrasing and i tend to remember them whenever i see the phrases used.
anyways, love to everyone. even the ones who hate me. it’s how i try to be now.
Who is saying this, I have not heard anyone say to force others to limit who they can deal with.
Who said anything like this.
Certainly not me.
I have to seriously question some of your comprehension folks. Did you folks even read this thread before commenting? If you did you must have seriously misunderstood the message.
