Could someone please tell me where is a list of rules, bylaws, or whatever you want to call them for this site. I can't find them.

You know what is permitted and what isn't. It would be nice to know what I can and can't do so I don't get kicked off of here.

Another site posts this "Admin reserves the right to remove posts that involve drug trafficking or are insulting or provocative."

This is helpful. Explains in detail the what and why. Anyone can at their leisure explore this.

Mogie,
I so admire and respect you for your maturity and knowledge. You're such a great asset to Rollitup.org

I hope you can LOBBY or Persuade Rollitup to post some rules, and I vote for these for sure. They should be acceptable to all of us adults.
I get PMs from Newbies asking me about the profanity, fights, name calling and arguements. It is just not good for our community. We need to govern ourselves with love and peace and co-operation.

Back in the 60s and 70's, we, Hippies and Freaks, we lobbied for legalization of pot. We all had the responsibility of showing the world that we were peaceful when we were stoned, and we were not violent in our behavior. Very rarely you would hear about someone who said they smoked a J and robbed a bank or did a violent deed. We spread the word then that Pot made you peaceful, quiete, calm, loving, law-abiding, and promoted brotherhood and sisterhood. We wanted everyone to know being high on pot was a good thing.
What happened?
It just amazes me to see violent fighting rednecks and ignorant hillbillies smoking pot these days. It just amamzes me, and makes no sense.

Rodney King said it best.

Peace

I especially like what grass city does. They have it does anyone with a question can click on a link and get the answer. One of the first posts and it dealt with more tech stuff. Hint hint

But we need some type of written rule. The rules should be set not open for personal interrupation. That is how trouble starts.

I see the staff hasn't touched this one yet. They either don't want to be like the other sites or are just too blind to see the need to rules. Every large club/group/organization whatever that I have belonged to has had a set of bylaws, rules of operation except this one.

Yeah I understand what your saying mogie. I haven't been on this site for long and I was a member at grasscity for a little bit, but when I first joined I looked for the set of rules, couldn't find them. I just figured they would be close to everyone else's rules and where basically self explanatory, like no swearing, no talk about drug trafficing, no flaming ect. I'm actually really suprised we don't have these rules written down somewhere where everyone can see them.

Well, besides the rules that were stated about insulting members/sponsors... 18+, no spammers/selling products. Other than that its pretty much whatever goes. Basically insulting members is the only thing we need to worry about. Oh yeah, dont call Widow Maker a douche. :)

On another forum site, I got a nasty little mesage from an admin member, saying that bumping ( their words,) "Ancient" posts was in very poor form. I'm asking this: If i post a reply to a post in a forum here, will I be jumped on because it happened to be an OLD post, but one that still was relevant enough to read and learn from? Wasn't trying to bump anything, and on another site they encourage it if for no other reason than to keep good information near the top so others may find it. I don't go around replying to just old posts. Just asking here before someone gets knee deep in my derrierre and such.:peace:

LOL.... well you just bumped a year old thread.... but we promise not to tar and feather ya :mrgreen::mrgreen::mrgreen::mrgreen::mrgreen:

Seriously though... old threads get bumped... that's the nature of forum with the ability to search.... old threads are meant to be found. Seems silly to get pissed at someone over bumping an old thread. Folks here usually aren't that uptight ;)

that is our biggest problem here besides to many visitors cloging the line.
to many mouthy kids or adults in some cases whinning back and forth and wasting space. in the last few days i have had so many personal attacks it makes me sick.
i usualy just walk away from the thread and leave the poor guy hangin that i was trying to help out. but a new me it`s time to fight back and save this forum. it could be so much better
i` am not slaming this site, i do like it for the most part but out of the 3 sites i use this one has the least control over these issue, oh well.
just hope i dont get booted for defending myself now. i`d rather leave on my own

Once I am finished doing the migration I will be posting the full rule set, once posted these will be strictly enforced. Time to get this forum moving in the right direction.
