Stoner Love
I know there are many stoner communities out there but I chose 1_pothead_lane to be my apropriate vice. Sure the rules were a little strict with the "must be pot-related" but thats understandable. After all, I am a reasonable person.
**edit**
Photo 'evidence' incase a few more things are changed.
^ this ^ was a post made in the community. I dont how many more of you were banned and cannot see it, or if he deleted what I had to say, but this is what was posted (just in case).
^ the rules ^ just as I was banned (I had posted, copied, then went to my friends page. I was already banned at that point). Notice the first paragraph - incase it has since been changed.
^ here ^ of course my posts were deleted, and then he banned me from posting in the community.
Now if someone can point out where I went against the rules Id love to know, because thus far Ive been rule-abiding even if I dont like them much.
**/edit**
But as we all know the new rules are a wee bit strict and quite frankly, borderline-facist. The +18 rule is rough, but if one insists on enforcing that then acnowledge that your dealing with a mature crowd and they do, indeed, have the ability to censor themselves and decide what is apropriate. There are rules to keep with that. And no matter how "horribly rebelious" stoners are, if the community is a sanctuary for them their not going to 'shit in their own living room' so-to-speak.
Its also really annoying to logg in and visite your friends page and have 10 posts all from the same community. Clearly they've all been scanned and allowed to go through at the same time. Yes, I do love reading about what people have to say, but Id also like to have my friends' posts tossed in there every once in a while. After all, my friends are my life, the community is just a hobby.
And many of you have had your perfectly reasonable posts deleted. I have yet to see a post deleted on REASONABLE grounds. They seem to be deleted as soon as someone sais something negative about the mod/new rules. Sure, the community may not be a 'democracy', but not many of us volunteered to be in a facist community either. After all, one common trait that all stoners have is a yearning for FREEDOM.
I will direct the mod to this post (doubt he will bother, though. After all, i am just a mere member, hardly important at all) but until then, any thoughts? More concerns? First-hand problems?
New community? Yes, No? Go off to a different one already made? Yes, No?
I have left messages in peoples' journals that have posted since the rule change (and thus have probably been affected by it). Since we cant really discuss the rule change in the community - with threat of it being deleted and all - heres a list of people who may enjoy discussing it here.
