Lashing out at Advertisers is nonsense please stop

Hi!

I dont normally make posts like this but there has been a big uptick in users just randomly lashing out at Advertisers here for no reason.

We don't accept this kinda behavior towards a member to member so why would we allow people to lash out randomly at advertisers.

Its been anything from people not liking how a giveaway has requirements to people having beef with specific companies for personal reasons.


Ultimately Ive created a forum cohesion where adverts are placed in their own specific areas they dont step outside those with a few exceptions like seedbanks in seedbank reviews, or if someone tags an advert to ask a question elsewhere.

Ive attempted to make it so both user community can still be a community and advertisers have their place to promote products where you can ask questions without being pitched sales in regular posting.

Im not entirely sure why we are having SUCH toxicity over advertisers when we have had them for about 6 years now, but Im kindly asking it to stop.


Advertisers help Rollitup stay online, be kind, theres really no reason for such toxicity. The amount of people lashing out going to cause advertisers not to want to giveaway items.. you are ruining it for everyone.

If you have a genuine concern, issue with an advertiser you can directly DM me, ask I have always say so I can investigate any potential issue.

this is not a silence on "free speech" we are talking about users legitimately going to battle with advertisers for no legit reason just to be rude.
that is against TOS as it would be if it was member to member conflict

that being said its 420 week and theres like a ton of giveaways posted here so feel free to check in and maybe win some stuff

So if a company is practicing a bad business policy to the point of ripping off customers we are not allowed to tell fellow user?

thats a loaded question aimed in an accusatory way.... very passive aggressive

We have ALWAYS allowed bad reviews here , you know this simply by going to seedbank reviews, please dont try to stir up a pot


If you have a genuine concern about a current advertiser you can dm me directly which has been noted several times and i will investigate it,

if you need to make a bad review about a company you have always been allowed to post your negative review again very evident by the seedbank review area. plenty of advertisers current and old have negative reviews listed too

what the point of the post is is to NOT go an attack current advertisers on the advertising posts, something tells me you understood this though and are just trying to stir up a pot

Is there a current list of paid advertisement customers that we can look over before unintentionally offending one?
Most biz that pay for exposure aren't worth my time so I'll just steer away from them rather than "attack".

Sabotage of the site
Usually fresh new accounts

It has nothing to do with "Offending"I think i was pretty clear it was highly intentionally lashing out.

Additionally you'll know because they clearly say next to their avatar Rollitup Advertiser like where mine says "Admin"
Youre the pulling the same as above passive aggressive behavior for no reason.

Idk, what the specific thing is, but people being angered by unnecessarily high prices for built in bulk at low cost products where the marketing hides crap the best they can by obscuring specs and artificially boosting the perceived value as opposed to actual value?
Yeah, I get that.

Free speech is conflicting

This isn’t about free speech — yes, you have the right to speak, but that doesn’t mean there are no consequences. You also agreed to the Terms of Service.


You don’t get to come here and treat people poorly. You agreed not to do that.
Don’t be a pain just for the sake of it.

I meant nothing bad. Much love.

You're on a forum with a TOS, no one is arresting you for saying what you want, but that doesn't you can't be banned for violating TOS. So no, this has nothing to do with free speech.

I chuckle lately how how 'mis-used' 'free speech' is. Yes, you have the legal right to say anything. You also have the legal obligations resulting from all it creates. You don't get one without the other. Period. Wise up world.
And to be more specific for my post's logistics ... you have no 'rights' when using ANYTHING FOR FREE, save any written to and agreed to policies for you to use it. PAID services are a different story. rollitup is free and can set any policy it likes.
Like they say... you don't like it?... you're always free in the USA to leave any time you'd like.
(flame suit on).

With so much negativity flowing about the world anymore, it's difficult to keep a positive attitude.

Personally, I have met some outstanding individuals on this page. People more than willing to share knowledge, share skills to enhance my grows. In a lot of cases you have to seek them out, but don't be discouraged by that. DM members, ask questions. Most are more than happy to help. If not move on, find someone else that share photos of their grows and things that work for them.

In regard to lashing out at advertisers. Agin, do some research people, check reviews DM members. Trust me, members will be more open to critique an advertisers products if done on a DM, rather than out in a general post. Some (myself included) don't have time for the drama or negativity of trolls. And every site has trolls, trust me on that too.

Ok, my rant is almost over. Trial and error work for some, others not so much. Without the help from some of the members on RIU, I would of given up on growing years ago. Grow em BIG my friends and stay positive! GL!
