Not really a bad thing though is it? A lot of interest has been shown in his product already before it even exists. Maybe you could crack a deal with him for a percentage if you advertise on the site?dude spammed us with a personal email on where to send all the money.
that is against site rules.
this whole thread is one giant self-promotion. it is spam and should be deleted. the only reason BDW is here is to get you all as customers. have fun.
Plus, you get nice new members relayed to this site (like me) through huge threads like this
Advertising or not, it was still very entertaining to watch
it's not for me to decide. rollitup owns this site. spamming is against the rules. to come here and self promote your own product for sale, without prior approval, is considered spam. BDW can simply send a pm to rollitup and discuss this with him. he choses to with hold his info until you pay for it, why should he get free advertising?Not really a bad thing though is it?

his videos are on youtube. he has no interest here other than this thread. he posts nowhere else other than here. he came here for the simple fact that he needed advertising. what better way then to come to one of the biggest grow forums and push your product? he is seeking profit from this site to pay his debts. i'm pretty sure that's NOT allowed.

that's a good explanation FDD............it's not for me to decide. rollitup owns this site. spamming is against the rules. to come here and self promote your own product for sale, without prior approval, is considered spam.

what was sent to staff? the possibility of actual paid for advertising?it's been sent to staff for further review.
a brief explanation of the spamming and if it is acceptable or not. if i was wrong and it is ok to ask for money then i will "undelete" the post.

Maybe there should be a section for "shameless self promotion" where people can post stuff they might make $$$ off of. I liked BDW's youtube videos, but as far as paying for anything from him, I think he's got PLENTY of potential for making $$$ from his crop - I certainly don't see the need to send donations! 
well he did ask. even used the promise of a famously named special appearance to suck everyone in.Maybe there should be a section for "shameless self promotion" where people can post stuff they might make $$$ off of.

I watched lots of them, but we live out in a rural place with a slow microwave internet connection, so loading videos is like back in the day of 56k, so I guess I didn't see the end...I'll assume that there was a terrible ending.
I'm sure the RIU staff will make a logical decision either way.

While I will make no attempt to deny that this thread is shameless self promotion, I would appreciate it if both you and FDD would be more careful with your words. He CERTAINLY didn't ask for donations for his own profit; he mentioned "building a war chest" in the name of legalization. He gave an email address for those of us interested in joining his cause. He never asked for anyone to send him money (yet).Maybe there should be a section for "shameless self promotion" where people can post stuff they might make $$$ off of.

I'm not saying FDD is wrong to call this spam, I just think it's ridiculous to spread a rumor that he was asking for personal donations. That's some bullshit, right there. There's already been enough drama in this thread in the past...

thank you for straightening that out......... since I didn't see what BDW actually posted.
ok ........
"Advanced copies of my DVD in beautiful broadcast quality are also being made avaible -- so I can raise money for a film print to get this in the festivals." BDW - 2008
to me this appears as "asking for money". like i said if i am wrong i will correct it.
Selling a product is not a donation. A donation is giving money with no expectation of a physical object or service in return. We always knew he was planning to sell the DVD... why are people surprised by this?ok ........

Wasn't he just saying he wants to sell a few advanced copies to get some cash flow so he can get it into the festivals? That seems like a rather common thing to try to do... and it certainly doesn't seem wrong or corrupt to me in any way. Yes, he used the words "raise money," but I certainly didn't interpret that as wanting people to send him donations. I also fully admit I could be wrong- it's a matter of interpretation, as always.

If you look back at the 1st pages of the thread you will see that fdd liked the thread and even told him to come bye and burn.after that it went to shit somewhere.so many deleted posts and controversial shit happened.one night a bunch of shit happened and garden knowm deleted a whole page wich was cool,it had way too much information.
what i dont get is way before today fdd has slammed browndirt repeatedly.I thought there were rules about that.maybe the only apply to me and you,the non staff members.If there were a public affairs officer i would ask him to appoint another staff member to overlook this thread.No offense fdd but you have a prejudicial viewpoint unless its a bad one then youre all for it.I suggest you read this one quick because it may get deleted too.Hell i may get banned but this is my take on it peace!!!!!!
