I'm troubled by mean people on this forum

I believe improving the forum search would help but I realize the money problem. Also some people feel safe sitting at home behind a keyboard thinking they are Mike Tyson just because nobody can get face to face with them. I guess it's some type of ego boost for them. Who knows.

I don't see many posts that are that aggressive round these parts, where are you guys looking? Is someone disagreeing with you and having a different point of view and expressing it the issue?

Seriously link some threads as examples here guys, I don't see too much bullshit that doesn't get sorted out right quick by the mods.

Where the fuck did this come from? LoL.

Add medication. Smoke two joints.

I agree with you completely. Prior research is imperative to being able to ask a well thought out question. When I ask a question on a forum about something that I can also google, I consider it "more detailed research" to also learn from others' practical experience. The "mega threads" ares great, but when a newb comes across a 20+ page of posts, do u think hes going read every single one? Do you guys? Several times I see responses that clearly show the poster never read all the OPs explanation and just post generalized info a 3 year old could find on google. I dunno. I also understand that utterly basic questions are going to be posted numerous times in different wordings. That can be frustrating because im a long time member on nanoreef.com a saltwater aquarium forum and the same questions kept getting asked. However there, peope would take the time to post a link to a decent tutorial and in a friendly manner suggest reading more from specific authors. I know we have stickys but they dont all provide a basic faq/ instructions

The hypocrisy in this thread is hilarious.

Pretentious bullshit

Really it boils down to people not using their heads, they smoke a bit too much and don't think before they go and say stupid shit, or ask a question that is so simple a "marijuana plant problems" Google search will find the results they need 100x faster then posting a thread and like others have said, a lot of these people that post these same questions expect an instant response. Then when you answer that question they come at you with another basic ass question, and you start to realize this guy/gal hasn't even read a fucking page of a grow book or done ANYTHING AT ALL to help themselves on the way to become a better grower. They are expecting people to hold their hands through out the entire process and tell them exactly what's wrong and when.

You want people to be nice to you and help you out? Show them you have tried to help yourself out. Maybe post the resources you have used but were unable to find the results you were looking for. Show some fucking effort is what I am saying.

I think it is far more rude for someone to post 100 questions and not take the time to read the basics, I think it's rude of them to waste others time. They deserve a wake up call, if being called an idiot ruins your life then you are too sensitive.

People deserve to be called out on stupid shit, makes them better when they recognize what they are doing.

with that in mind, how many more sub forums you gonna copy and paste this to?

I tried to make Tacos but my Tacos did not come out right. But they all taste bad, do you guys know how to make my tacos better?
I've never made tacos, but have read a lot about it. Did you check the pH level of all your ingredients? I'd recommend flushing them next time, add some CalMag, and quit using those cheap taco sauces. Get a good 3 part taco sauce from Advanced Sauces.

Like everyone is saying, its the sheer amount of crap posts. Personally I think stickies are nice and all, but after you fill up half the first page with stickies it starts getting a little ridiculous.

The rating system on here is nice, but its kind of hard to rate a question in the progress of being answered. Maybe so many negative ratings = deletion might help. I dunno, its our community. Lead by example, the more people that keep things clean and serene the less likely you're going to see crap posts out of pure pressure not to be the one junking up the boards.

Anyway, I don't think you can ever get away from people acting like mr.smart guy jackass...if weed has any weakness at all, its making people think they are the albert einstein of horticulture. Funny thing is, anyone would know most of the basic questions if they had just owned a simple houseplant in the past.

I dunno, I haven't seen anything TOO terrible yet. I am a member on another forum where people get banned for racist/antisemetic hatespeech all the time. I remember a member got banned for posting a picture of his semen all over a picture of a moderator that he printed out and jerked off on..... I'm just saying the douchebaggery around here has not gotten anywhere close to the depths that the internet is capable of.


that being said, I think there are definitely still some people around here who take the process of growing weed a bit too seriously or something. I dunno what the draw is to flame someone for asking a question. even if its been posted a hundred times, it takes that much more effort to make a snarky sarcastic post making fun of this dumb noob than it does to simply not post at all.

Read some of Uncle Bucks posts. I've seen some that got pretty heated, not saying that its Uncle Buck being the aggressor. Some other good examples are ANY posts involving Finshaggy. Another thing ive noticed is that some people get upset when someone replies using capitol letters. Also, that's an awesome album.

It funny, though there ain't a bunch of mean posts, I still see the same people trying to justify, there unnessasarry rudeness,
Yes there are dumb questions,
That because there alot of dumb fuckin answeres,
And sometimes it's hard to run on a search on something if you don't know how to ask,

It's seems like a lot of people were brought here by google, which if google brings them here were the fuck you think there ganna keep Going,

N just cuz you think the post was made by just some 'stupid stoner'or a 'newbi who probably won't listen' you might be right but why bother saying anything if it ain't helpful. they might not listen but some one else is,

Or you could just be a big ass
hole maybe they were really hoping for a straight answere, say they asked what a good way to drop ph with out ph down, and you told them batterie acid, or just said google search it, why not just fucking save your time, or is your life that pathetic you gotta be that guy

This site is supposed to help people, fuck the stupid 'yeild'questions and fuck those douch bag answeres,

I see way more ass holes here then I do yeild questions

Oh an half of you douch bags, are so hard core, and know so much, and ain't wastin there knowledge on a damn noob here, but when in real life y'all are just a couple fucking punks, and I don't mean cool punks with spiky hair, I'm talking about those dudes, who probably grew up getting there ass beat, for being such ass holes, no one like them in real life so they being a fag on the Internet will make 'uober' cool,


Idk maybe it's just cuz I came from a house were we were taught to respect one another,
I just don't deem it nessacary to fuck up some ones day

Sorry if this babble just woke up

^^^^ from someone who has been here only a few weeks. Wait a few years and see if you still feel the same way.

I don't think it's strictly a matter of taking it too seriously, its more of people tired of helping people out that genuinely don't give a shit about the community they are asking help from (or its rules, guidelines, even common sense). They contribute nothing, they have zero intention on giving anything back, and more than likely never heard from again after posting a question.

I think thats what gets under the skin of some of the high rep vets (whatever that means). They want to help because they love talking about the subject, but after you see your 100th post reading: "Farted in grow room, will this affect my yeild?" (no pics), I think some people get a little loco.

This forum exists to exchange information and communicate with other people. Redundancy in questions is inevitable, especially on a site that is considered one of the best on the web for up to date information. Some people, especially novices, simply find to get an answer quickly and up to date this is their place to go. I personally have not observed a lot of newbie bashing on this site, but there are always people that are acerbic and/or ignorant, and part of success in life is coping with them, and in a way that is a major reason why I smoke, especially when I am on this lovely site.

Here's a good example- in the Cannabis Cafe, "I don't know if anyone has noticed". Started by Finshaggy. It's like ragging on Fin. has become a sport. Of course everyone will justify why they ragg on him, I just thought I'd throw out another example.
