User Got Caught

I think the deleting of posts/attachments VERY relevant to the thread at hand. If StickyMango had the opportunity to delete his stuff...perhaps he could've done so in time.

I think that I am done with this board. I learned everything I need to know...if the board mods aren't looking out for my best interests in letting me have control over pics/threads that I create...then I do not see a reason that I should have fellow members best interests at heart. (Which is 95% of what there is to do here once you learn the basics of growing) --- telling n00bs that they need to wait 4 more weeks before harvest.

What do I have to do to delete my account here?

Do I need to flame the crap out of people? Or can I just ask you nicely?

One of our users was busted yesterday for one plant it looks like. This is very alarming but I would like to point out a couple things.

Charges: cultivation of marijuana, possession of marijuana and drug paraphernalia and public nuisance.

I don't know where the public nuisance came into play here but I think it was one of the reasons he was charged.

The story also says that he was tipped off by someone else.

This is a harsh reality of how you guys need to be safe. A couple tips that I have made up are as follows:

1) Clear your browser cache and cookies on a regular basis. http://www.ccleaner.com/download is a free program that does an excellent job.

2) Use a different user name then any other sites you goto. If i did a Google for this user name the third result was his website with name and address on it.

3) DO NOT GIVE OUT PERSONAL INFO, I DONT CARE HOW LONG YOU HAVE TALKED TO SOMEONE ON THE INTERNET. IT IS STILL THE INTERNET. YOU DO NOT KNOW THIS PERSON!

4) Do not give out your skype,aim,msn with those services once you are connected it is very easy to get your ip off that. (This I don't think was the case here)

The end result is be safe, don't make stupid mistakes.

Im going to leave this thread open for 24 hours, if you guys have any questions.

Take Care

did he get caught because of this site or just happened to be a member here but caught because of outside reasons?

its such a shame "getting caught" is even a phrase that applies to marijuana. i feel blessed to have a medical license, my scoliosis is very very painful at times.

but anyways, like i said, did he get arrested because of posting on here or just happened to post here?

What can we do as members here to help grow this site and encourage everyone that it is very safe unless they are very foolish?

We need to get the word out that Mango made too many mistakes and it was not the fault of this site that he got popped.

You can't catch a fish, unless he first opens his mouth!

1. Choose your hook and bait for the type of fish you want to catch as well as a weight. These are all subject to the area in which you are fishing. For a lake I would suggest .5oz sinkers so that you don't snag anysea weed while reeling in your line. Depending on the fish you are trying to catch, adjust your hook size accordingly as well. No matter the size, snagging a fish is always the same type of motion.
2. Cast your line somewhere 20 to 30 yards away (60 feet) with a good amount of bait, it is important to firmly secure your bait to the hook in order to preserve it and not lose it in the snagging process. Bait can go fast doing this.
3. Wait until you feel fish tugging and biting at your line. Keep your pole vertical with the water (straight out) and make sure your line has as little slack as possible.
4. Once you have felt a few bites, wait until you feel your next one, then pull up and back over your shoulder as fast as you can, while reeling. Your objective is simple, pulling the bait will catch any fish near the hook and possibly hook them, allowing you to reel them in. Other times fish will actively chase the bait, as it moves away quickly, thinking it is fleeing prey.
5. With practice and good reflexes as well as timing, you can hook fish rather quickly. Snagging is especially useful for bass, who will chase and try to gulp down your whole hook before it gets away, as well as small bluegill and sunfish in the shallows of most lakes.
6. For snagging ocean fish it is especially useful with a heavy weight that gets you low to the bottom, you can snag not only fish, but Lobster and Crabs! However be careful with lobster as there are strict regulations regarding their capture. Be sure your are legally allowed to keep them as a catch, if not, throw them back.
7. Another good way to snag fish is by going to a local lake and finding a small shallow bay with clear water or parts of the lake that have carp in them. tie on a large treble hook (4/0-7/0 size)and leave 3-4 in of extra line when you tie it on and tie a large sinker on to that extra line(use at least 30 pound test line). look around for some big carp cast far from them reel in until your hook is right under one and jerk your rod up as hard as you can and hold on tight.This is a very effective way i caught 6 carp #1-23lbs 2#-46 lbs 3#-15 lbs #4-19 lbs #5-28 lbs #6-34 lbs

• For practice, visit a lake or stream and try to snag small fish in the shallows. Being able to see them will visually represent the motions and actions of fish as they are biting at your bait, and it will assist you in understanding what is happening with the fishes actions as you try to snag them. Then when you cast far out and cannot see the fish, you can just picture them like smaller ones, and visualize the catch. Having had a lot of practice at this, it is a very useful skill for any fisherman. It is also surprising how many fishermen don't know how to do this.
