New Grower A badge for 1000 posts and maybe I year here as well

[micro.grower]

Badges, we don't need no stinking Badges...says cheech. I say, we as growers receive our own "Badges" every time we harvest, or when we see somebody get rocked on something we grew. now that is true "satisfaction", for me. however, that's one of the reasons that we post our threads on here...since many of us are "secret" growers, we kinda have a need to be appreciated by all of our piers here on AFN. happy grows to all.

Couldn't have said it better. Lol. I didn't come to this forum for badges or ranks. Not saying it wouldn't be nice to eventually get either, but that's def not why I'm here. I appreciate the fact that even though I don't have any badges ( which I wouldn't be able to see even if I had some due to tapatalk), just about everyone here knows who micro is and the fact any issues I have had with anyone on this site has been resolved quickly and PRIVATELY.

same thing with u Nelson. More people around here have probably noticed how great of a member you've been and the fact of how informative and educational your post have been. You don't need no stinkin badge or rank to prove that.

Both my badges came from contributing beyond just a log and some posts. This is what I think constitutes a badge is a reason why your in that badge group. If your breeding and make new strains then a developer badge is in order IMO. But post counts are RIU and GC garbage. They whore those sites out sooooo bad for post counts. I've had a want to mod for a while but the powers that be haven't promoted me either. It comes with time and participation. Just chill and stay a while longer. You'll be surprised how much we all help each other out here.

I decided that I will take a month or so off of posting so this is my last post for a while. I will be using my time getting to know more about my main interest which is home breeding.

I only ever posted to help other growers and share my experience in my 40 some years of growing. I hope that those following my grow will understand that I am now in a process of trying to understand myself why I should spend a lot of time posting on here. I will be around from time to time and answer any PMs sent to me. I wish you all well your grows and building your grow sites and hope you all do well. Goodby for a while at least and maybe see you later.

Sorry to see you go for a bit but enjoy the time.

I guess I figure the only person I have to beat is my last grow. I don't need a badge or anything, but I guess it's cool to get recognized by your peers, but the whole purpose of my being here is to learn from others and maybe pass some knowledge on that can only be obtained from getting grows under your belt.

I love this site. The knowledge that I have gained in the last couple of months has been impressive. It's been so long since I grew anything that when I last grew weed, there was no such thing as Auto Flowers.

I have learned something from everyone that posts at one time or another, but the measure of a true Auto grower is not the Badge he or she wears, but by the BUD you grow.

I have been on other forums (I will not mention any names ) and this forum is the most democratic forum I've ever been a member of. I have asked some real dumbass questions on here, sometimes more than once and I have never been treated badly because of my lack of knowledge or made to feel stupid.

We have a good thing going here all, let's not let petty issues such as pride destroy this site and the Good Kharma that is here.

The badge I want and what I am shooting for is to win the BOM or the BOY contest!

Just getting nominated would be a badge in itself to me.

Yea man your thread is awesome. Its good to share - i remember when i first began to cultivate cannabis as a kid and it was like being in a room without a light on, having to feel my way around in the dark - knocking things over no sense of direction with little progression towards achieving a consumable drug quality until my early twenties. But the web-sites that came in the 90's was like having a torch to some in-experienced growers at the time - i could see the results other people were getting and although comparison often led to competition i gained some a very valuable observations from them that help me to make sense of my own and to be critical of my technique seeking to constantly refine it. I like your thread Mellow, it's a nice feeling here with people sharing and having care free conversation. I think it's a great thing sharing and a great opportunity to make some good friends.

:thread:

Truu Tbm. As much as I wanna talk about my passion to others, I simply can't. Even if I was legal. Lol. It takes a grower to understand a grower. I wanted to say I do like the idea of a badge for likes. J personally only have like 167 rep points (2 rep bars), but I have a hell of a lot of likes. But as mentioned, not really here for badges. I am sorta curious about the developer/breeder badge... anyone care to ellaborate? Today was the first time I have heard of it. I have only "pollen chuck'd" so far, but will be continuing my crosses to stabilization in the next few years...

I am back posting again if any of you didn't know. I suffer from SADS which makes me a little on the depressed side in the low light months. Now that we are getting close to 10 hours of daylight it is lifting again. This might have made me a little sensative to critisism. However I reread this thread and in some ways I understood the point you were all making.

Just had one thing to add. When you read the part under your name about what it says, like master grower and expert grower that seems to change exactly when the number of posts reach a certain point. If posts don't matter then maybe we should take this away and give everyone the same rating or no rating at all or maybe use a different criteria. What do you all think.
