All these scammers

I just found a seed on my floor does anyone want it?

Nobody is talking about absolute trust it’s about reasonable trust and reasonable care. Both of which should be standard until proven otherwise.

I’m quick to give you $5 but I’m unlikely to let you hold my wallet.

What have these people who have been scammed actually been scammed out of?

Most cannabis users are paranoid. It’s part of the plants effects. A lot use a VPN to access the site. With a vpn each time you turn it on it changes the ip address.

I would prefer discussing options which might potentially help slow down those looking to take advantage of unsuspecting OG members. What’s past is past but can it be prevented in the future?

Some lost Money!
Just ask LA joe and some others too they will tell ya all about it.

A lot of us would, some here seem intent on keeping us from doing so and I do not understand why.

I have come up with 2 valid solutions.
This first is stoner watch and the other is trade based trust levels I have suggested this before and was told to mind my own business.

Both are super simple and should work real well.
Or we can keep doing what we have been doing and hope it just goes away.
I personally prefer a solution to ignoring the situation and hope it goes away.

You capitalize money like it’s that important. Did anybody lose their rent money?

A lot of people have dynamic IP address, this means every time they restart the router or after a set time has passed the IP will cycle. They have access to a pool, so if boss man gets banned on a shared IP, you could one day get that IP and also face the restriction. The other side is people with static IP that doesn’t change, they can use a VPN with thousands of IP and avoid restrictions. Difficult one

Shag when I joined your fantasy island I was told to be on best behaviour, and I wouldn’t be included in island tournaments (I can’t remember the name) until I had a rep, I think this is a great approach it is indeed just stoner watch, easy to spot the non genuine individuals

Yeah, I was just reading about this VPN and it appears for $9.99 a month you can never be removed from Overgrow?

Some people don’t hide things like user agents and screen size so you can detect them, but anyone that wants to be nefarious can be

I will tell LA joe you said quite whining about the lost cash… :rofl:

For seed trades the only way I can see it working out is to have a middle man that’s trusted. You both send your seeds to the middleman and once both are in his possession he forwards them onto there final destination. I highly doubt anyone would accept the responsibility of taking up the middleman task. :man_shrugging:
Site wise. Each device that connects to the internet comes with a MAC address. Unless your mega technically minded it can’t be changed easily.

Tattletales complaining about scammers.

You already have dominion over a private island. Why do you feel the need to expand?

Thank you for that… :slightly_smiling_face:
And I feel like an ass having to do that, but I feel it is a necessary evil and does grant us a bit of extra protection.
Thank you for speaking up, it helps to hear others agree, especially when there are a lot of nay-sayers speaking up.

No buddy. All it changes is your ip address. You’d still need a different email account to sign up again. For me that would be too much work and effort and cash to gain a few seeds

No one is nay-saying. They are saying let them make their own decisions, like you make for your island.

Wow, now the mane calling starts, this is incredable.
I am being attacked for trying to keep my generosity secure.

Maybe I should stop giving all together and just leave then.
Me and my tattletale friend are clearly not wanted here.

Boy oh boy this place is going downhill fast, hang on for the ride.

The nerve of some folks crying about being ripped off, what a bunch of babies we are…WTF is wrong with this world???

Did ya send LA joe a PM to quit his crying?
you really should let him know you feel so strongly about this subject.
You have the balls to say it to me, stand up and say it to him.
I had my balls cut off or I would do it for ya… :rofl:
