So after being away from RUI, i've made a return. Some of my old favorites, ViRedd, Ccodaine still lurk, but every once in awhile they at least offer some growing advice. Then I came across King Bong. He's started something like 10 threads, all of them all political, all anti-obama, and most racist, including titles like "monkey boy". One of which has already been closed. There are political forums, lots of them. Why is he here? Why do we tolerate it? Sure, some of us discuss politics while helping eachother grow herb, but have we sunk to allowing racist hate speech to be repeated consistently without reprimand? I certainly hope not, and I hope the moderators would want better for RUI.

I have reported such actions in the past. The reply I got from the mods was that the political forum is not moderated. I'm sure, however, that if the community speaks up against racist hate speech, they will do something about it. I'm not demanding anything, just asking the community if they wish to have such members on board. If he can post "Monkey Boy", surely I can pose this question. I've been a member of RUI for well over a year and I don't want to see it tainted.

King Bong is indeed a troll..

He hasnt shown that he's knows anything or wants to learn anything about growing marijuana..

He loves to encite ridiculous arguments about politics based on his values that are delusional at best..

I have more respect for a piece of shit.. atleast it can help my plants grow..

Yes, we need the members to report these kind of posts. I personally cannot read them all. I tend to stay out the politics section as I am not an American and some debates get real heated.

Hey Inneed of Buds..

i agree with you...

There is this little voice inside me that says..

"tolerate people, tolerate all people, if you ban them, then they go somewhere else and maybe find a home with more hateful people. instead of being here where, maybe they can learn to love"

if we ban them, are we the same as them? not tolerant..?

what are you thoughts?

iloveyou

and I really appreciate your posts

Well, the staff have a little bit more power when they say someone is being hateful. Doesn't even have to be a mark against the person, just staff saying "Hey chill out dude" and cleaning up the mess a bit. some people might be joking and it get taken wrong and its a lot better to do that then have users flame one another and find different things offensive with someone who might not understand they think its offensive. lol

This is all happening exactly like we planned, and we got the idea from the republican dirty-tricksters.

Ya see, we have the Politics forum to keep "those kind of people" out of the growers forums.

No, I don't think so. Our country runs on Free Speech. This forum does not. This forum has a very specific rule against abuse written by RUI himself. I'm all for political debate, but I can't stand idly by while members I've grown very fond of are called "brainless morons". While a Democratic candidate is called a "monkey". Especially by someone who has only been here a few months and who is an admitted troll. He offers nothing in the forum of marijuana or growing advise. Only political trash talking, all of it personal and directed at other peaceful members. Let's just have it one way or the other. If there is a rule against this, lets enforce it. If we're not going to enforce it, there is sure some shit i'd like to get off my chest.

*Edit
I just wanted to add, the "Brainless morons" quote, wasn't even in political forums. We were in toke and talk chatting about a private island where some of the members could go live, just a fun conversation. KingBong followed me in there, much like he follows me everywhere (troll) and suggested we start a society of "brainless morons"
