It's not that big of a deal man, if you want to post fetus corpses & scat then there's OTD.
That's really all there is to it. I don't want to see another OTD on this website, especially not in its infancy (maybe some kind of thunderdome forum can be brought about after the site has had time to grow into its own). While I of course appreciate Shroomery users migrating to the new website and participating here, please be mindful that we are attempting to attract a diverse new population to the Growery as well. We don't want the Growery to be a carbon copy of the Shroomery, and for now I just don't think it is wise to be promoting offensive "Shroomery OTD" style posting here - and this is why if I see it, I'm not going to tolerate it. If you want a place to post your shock images and whatever other disturbing subject matter you desire to discuss, you can do it over in the Shroomery's OTD forum.
Quote: Sativus said: I agree things are pretty fine the way that they are. But there do seem to be a lot of 2-5 day bans for things which weren't known to be bannable offenses.
I hear what you're sayin' Sativus. I felt the short duration bans to be an effective way to get the message to stick with the end user. I will take your concern under advisement however, and begin issuing warnings for first time offenses before banning people. I guess I just got a little jaded 'cause it's always the same ol' shit from the same ol' people who just love an internet drama. But your point has been taken, and I apologize for having been so quick to ban without prior warning (an admitted violation of my own protocol).
I hope that makes my position on the matter very clear. This position may change over time as the site evolves, but for the time being, please just give me a break and play nice.
Quote: Please be advised that while we're pretty loose when it comes to the drudgery of prohibition and enforcement, we would like to foster a friendly environment for people from all walks of life to participate here.
Please use common sense and courtesy when posting. Keep things civil and don't go attacking other users.
Refrain from posting "shock" images that the majority of society would find hideous or disturbing. Note: If posted in the context of a serious discussion, this rule can be flexible.
Refrain from overt racism and racial slurs for the sake of being outrageous. Note: If posted in the context of a serious discussion, this rule can be flexible.
When in doubt, send a Private Message to a moderator - or just don't post it!
You're welcome. Please keep in mind that we are trying to wrap our head around all the suggestions, but to be frank, the Shroomery and Growery forums are often run in our spare time. This week has been quite busy for me as I've been road trippin' around the state (and Mexico) to catch some great music, but with any luck I'll have more time after this coming Tuesday to soak up the atmosphere around here and get back to beefing up content and perhaps even adding some new moderators. I do apologize for leavin' you all hanging, and we will make a more concerted effort to be active here. All I'm asking is that you cut a li'l slack if and when we're not around for a few days.
Hanky, you're just not as important to me as you seem to think (though I cannot deny the feel of this thorn in my side ). I have banned quite a few members before I banned you, and no doubt will ban quite a few others after having banned you. Relax.
Sativus, I would tend to believe that the reason people may be so casual about flaming each other here is that the majority of existing and active members on this site have no doubt stemmed from the Shroomery's off-topic sections which are often rife with such behavior. Let us also not forget that we did not import our ban list from the Shroomery, so members who have been restrited from accessing our other site (for good cause), are free to register here. One theory would have it that the void of fresh members here has created a space populated by the Shroomery's most abraisive and disgruntled former members. As I stated in Post #25292, "be mindful that we are attempting to attract a diverse new population to the Growery", and that will be facilitated through an inviting and friendly forum - not a forum full of immature and insulting discourse.
