How does getting banned work?

[Cannabliss88]

Is this website like the dictatorships known as Grasscity and the Shroomery where you can be arbitrarily permabanned even if you don't break an actual rule at the discretion of the moderators simply because you posted content they don't like or do we have more rights here?

I have read the rules page and it seems vague to me on what is and isn't allowed. Obviously you can't break any laws on the site and I know its against the rules to bully, harass, call names but is there a more specific set of rules and what happens if you get an infraction? Do you get a warning first or are you just banned?

Also if you end up banned (not that I have any such intention) are you allowed to create a new account?

The main thing I want to know is if you can be banned purely at the discretion of a moderator without having concretely broken any actual rule?

let me put it this way, if you're a some what normal member, who just converses with others and don't stir the pot, you've got nothing to worry about.. i've been here over 5 years, and never got an infraction or w/e...
umm, imo, if you get banned here, you've got to pretty much be asking for it, and ignore several warnings from the moderators here.. i think you get 3 warnings, and you're gone.. some times for a few days, some times forever, it depends on what you did wrong though..
ummm, idk about opening a new account if you get banned.. i know people who do it, but that's about i know of it tbh..

so, in summary, treat others the way you like to be treated, and everything should go fine.. oh yeah, staying out of the politics section might help a bit, lol, joke, well, kind of at least..
imo, just don't worry about being banned, and it won't happen so long as you're not a complete idiot and or out to start shit..

welp... not postin the borderline pedo male erotica may help you stick around... that was you (Cannabliss) wasn't it? lol

I've gone all-out to get banned here and I was only warned once, so I gave up even trying. If it again becomes customary for my more inflammatory posts to get deleted, then I'll no longer post here.

It seems there is more tolerance here. People say all kinds of shit and the moderators aren't all over their ass.

I did reread the rules and it appears that moderators do have the right to interpret what they deem breaking the rules at their own discretion like other forums but of course it is basically their forum and they want to keep people from ruining it so its understandable.

I suppose, the more I think about it, there is always a very grey area between what is ok and what's not as its all subjective to personal interpretation.

I feel better hearing you guys assure me that this place is hard to get banned from. I certainly hope I get a fair warning if I'm ever out of line before being banned.

At any rate this forum is obviously far more patient and fair than Nazi-Shroomery, where I was EntheogenicJourney and Soviet-Grasscity, where I was Cannabliss88, both of which I recommend people avoid at all costs. The moderators there are on severe power trips and act like dictators who make their own rules but you live and you learn. Some forums are dictatorships and that's just how it is. Its good they banned me before I wasted more of my time there.

For the record they delete threads without warning. What happens to me next determines how they deal with a picture that bothers them.

Then you may gladly ban me.

Just read some old threads. On a lot of sites you'll find many long and very informative posts by people who have subsequently been banned. You never see that here. Only trolls who contribute nothing seem to get banned.

Dude I totally agree, many many old and grate sites have posts that detail and teach noobs to do great stuff, and after wading thru 25 plus pages on just one subject, you see that the OP's be banned for some reason ...bummer over and over ...I wonder what can be done about that...?

When you get banned here, you will be taken out back by the dumpster and shot twice in the crotch, when you hend over in agony an ice pick will be inserted firmly into your ear canal.

Needless to mention our trash service is family owned.

The people that do as their told....and "know their role"....get promoted.....the people that speak their mind and have a brain of their own....stay members with no say in anything, lol.....Are you not already their sunni? lmao Sad part is the guy who owns the site is a great guy(stoner), but unfortunately he lets the "Mods" make(or not make) the decisions that force people to leave the site.....

we will delete or edit posts without telling you
if you continue to post the same thing we delete over nad over again we will message you but generally the user knows why its being deleted in the first place.

do you get warnings before being banned?
