Moderators to Moderate

There are all kinds of posts going on throughout the day on RIU and I can understand why things can get cluttered or threads not belonging in areas sitting there for the rest of time.

I think it would make the whole forum better by moving threads to where they belong.

For instance we have a Seed Bank review forums, seed forum, smoke report, grow journal, grow journal discussions.These 6 alone get so mixed up, I see journals in the seed forum and smoke reports in the grow journal section and discussions in the grow journals...

I might not be a big member here yet but I do feel that these changes would create an atmosphere where less of the riff gets posted in the raff. It is hard to really look through things for information when you have strain reviews in the seed forum.

I love you guys, have a great day stay high!

well we try , but we are indeed volunteers and we like to use the website without working at times as well.
We are a community, and yes we do our best to moderate but the community needs to help us.
if you notice something where it doesnt belong help us out , click report and we can help

What does my sex have to do with the community needing to help out dem moderators. If you wanna troll every topic that is your right to but it detracts from others enjoyment. Not mine per say but I know an older crowd with lots of wisdom that would take two looks at some of the shit you guys say and just never come back. Not everyone is adjusted to the days of trolls being out of the cave.

there will always be "trolls." it's best to just ignore certain folks/threads. i'll admit, i've been drawn in more than a couple times, lol. as for the mods, for the most part, they do a great job. but i believe that sometimes they go beyond moderating, and overdo what they are actually here to do, which is moderate. i don't like a mod coming in and closing/deleting, a thread, simply because they disagree/dislike, a subject. just like trolls will always be with us, there will always be mods that can't/don't, remain neutral, and fairly moderate, without letting their own feelings get in the way...

I enjoy this forum because of the more relaxed nature of it. I do notice threads posted in the wrong sections, but it doesn't seem to hinder my access to information and it is usually newer people that do that. Try doing a search if there is some specific info you are looking for. Also I don't see how your "older crowd" friends who apparently would not enjoy learning new things for some reason is at all relevant. Every site has it's trolls and I don't see many on this forum. Some people are very blunt with their opinions, but I would rather someone tell me straight up if they thought my ways of doing things were wrong instead of sugar coating things.
I am not opposed to your advice on making this forum more friendly to everyone, I am always open to try and improve things. I will do as Sunni suggested and report threads that are in the wrong section, and if we both do that along with some others hopefully your experience here will be improved. Also communicating what you feel will improve the site as you have done here, it will only help. Don't worry if anyone takes offense or makes a joke. We are all working towards the same goal: healthy, happy and huge plants!

chicks are always trying to fix something

I don't troll the grow forums or journals, just the extraneous threads, toke and talk and politics, and by troll I mean making stupid jokes and posting dumb pictures. People do seem to like it as in the like button.

sorry if you don't like it, there is an ignore option if you do not enjoy a particular person

What about poster's whose sole purpose is to confuse and distort

I can name 3 that go to every BML lighting thread and spread lies. Seems like they are in another light companies hip pocket

Such offenses should be dealt with swiftly- a 10 day time out and for second offenses longer

When someone who does not own a product, or has no first or second hand experience with said product, but spends time making false claims with the intention of bashing it ,wherever it is discussed, there is an ulterior motive.

That should not be tolerated

Why should I bother to try to enlighten when the unenlightened are allowed to spew disinfo?

If this in fact true- trolls can lie as long as they don't name call- then it's time for me to reevaluate doing any more threads on RIU

i didnt make up the rules sorry man.


its technically a free forum they are indeed allowed to say if they likea product or not they are indeed allowed to post what they think is the right information, thats the point of a forum board in general.
Try not to take it personal that other people have different opinions than yours , lots of different people lots of different views.


Also define troll for me.
someone who writes a different opinion than yours while YOU deem is wrong, is not being a troll.
Were so easily attached to that word. but its always used in the wrong way

the site is good, it looks good

the Mods do a fine job separating the wheat from the chaff, a thankless job

if they removed people for being stupid or contrarian it would be very quiet in here (I would surely have been banned long ago)

You would have to back to the very beginning where these 3 buddies began their relentless attacks in the threads where people go to seek help choosing an led light

It's one thing to have an opinion based on knowledge, it's another to intentionally lie about a product to diminish the person who is using it

Def of moron :
mo·ron
[mawr-on, mohr-] Show IPA
noun
1.
Informal. a person who is notably stupid or lacking in good judgment: I wonder why they elected that narrow-minded moron to Congress.
2.
Psychology . (no longer in technical use; now considered offensive) a person of borderline intelligence in a former and discarded classification of mental retardation, having an intelligence quotient of 50 to 69.

To knowingly lie about passive heat sink being a design flaw is MORONIC! There are several passively cooled led lights on the market

Bricksquad (RIU member) has 2 grows using a SPYDR, and I am now into 3rd week with no issues that would suggest this is a design flaw

At issue is their disdain that I could have the light 3 days and show with pictures that the buds had doubled in size. But the proof is there in color before and after. Even though I post weekly updates showing how well this lght performs they remain jackals on the attack in spite of how foolish it makes them

Jackal:
dictionary.reference.com/browse/jackal - View by Ixquick Proxy - Highlight

any of several nocturnal wild dogs of the genus Canis, especially C. aureus, of Asia and Africa, that scavenge or hunt in packs.

Sunni, did you stop t think that by closing the BML thread the moronic jackals win?

The thread should stay open, but, their threads and all defending threads removed
