Thanks
@FullAuto245 and i offer help bc i get satisfaction in seeing others being able to grow their own medicine. Not to further my position on the network. Personally I had a bad exsperience on here early on with a hermie issue. I never had a hermie in all my years of growing and it was still the only one over ever had. With little exsperience with hermies I reached out on here and asked for advice. Somone who was a moderator at the time said it was not a hermie and that they were 100% positive. Even wrote me a detailed message assuring me of it. I had only seen info online and I asked him again and again are you sure bc from what I'm seeing online it fits the bill of a hermie. Again I was assured it wasent. So I went against my instincts and let her keep growing. In less than 2 weeks every one of my females was POLLENATED by the hermie witch stoped bud production and ruined my grows. I had 15+ plants at all stages of growth but all old enough to be pollenated. I had to scrap the ENTIRE GROW every plant. Then I had to strip my whitespace down and bleach and achahol every square inch and I mean everything. Total loss was over 8,000 in lost profits. And that's not including the money in seeds,nutrients,media,pots, and electricity. And the countless hours of work. After I tried to contact the moderator not to curse them out but to tell them they were wrong and they blocked me. I'm not blaming the moderator for my loss after all its my grow and I make the decisions on what to ultimately do but it's a percautionary tale story of just how much one tiny piece of bad advice and info can cost you. Ever since then I look at things diffeently. I'm not bashing the moderators on AFN this member just so happened to be one in this case.I'm just telling the truth of what happened to me. Most of my older friends prolly still remember when it happened. So take every bit of advice with a grain of salt and trust your intuition and insticts first.
Wow.
Hey Tyler, I want to put something into perspective for you (and everyone else reading this) before you get back on that podium to call us out with your false allegations and statements.
Here are all the Reported Posts we have on your member since you joined the site. Reported Posts are posts that either staff or regular member reports to us for indecent comments, crappy behavior, name calling, or just members generally being turds in the punch bowl at the party.
That's 18 reported posts about your attitude, comments you made to staff and non-staff growers on the site (you were a bit of a knob when you joined the site, you remember that? We do.) 14 of those reported posts were from 2019 alone (and we got a few months left in the year bud.)
Tyler, there is no punch left in your punch bowl. It's just turds at this point.
So we're clear (since you've been asking about badges,) there are no badges awarded for being someone who gets reported constantly by members and staff members for being a turd of a member. None. Notta. Zip. Zilch. 1 minus 1. To be fair, we
used to have a badge that kinda looked like a butthole, but man. No one wanted to wear that one.
By sheer number of Reported Posts alone, you've proven to be a repeat offender on the forum. What justifies your behavior to show such disrespectful behavior to other members on the site? Over half of these are not even tangles with other staff members, I was reading through some of these reports and it's you taking on anyone that you disagree with. You've been given multiple chances to correct this behavior; I'm actually a bit baffled we've allowed your commenting to ever continue after a few of these (guess some of our staff had a soft spot for you. That soft spot has hardened recently, so we're clear.)
We exist to help new growers, to have a centralized place for autoflower information, to showcase off genetics and gear for growers, etc. We're not here to stroke your ego whenever you want to play the "poor me" card. There isn't a violin small enough to play "my heart bleeds for you" when you have a year full of poor attitude and reported posts. We may have a little cheese for that whine though <insert cheesy grin>
Seriously though, this stuff needs to stop dude. Not sure what other cannabis forum would give you 18 chances to correct shitty behavior, but apparently we're the one that did (and is paying for it now.) So we're no longer going to carry that attitude for ya.
Shape up or ship out. There is no argument, no "boo hoo you're all so unfair." No, we've been fair. Generous even. And you've spit on our floor for the last time as a guest.
I would respectfully ask you quit shitting where we like to eat, play, work, and learn.
Took me all of supper to craft this message up for ya. Will take me seconds to ban you and see what's on Netflix. Like my ficticious pal Captain Planet likes to say, THE POWER IS YOURS!
it doesn't surprise me i wasnt welcome with open arms either. But always go with your gut.
Psst. Come 'ere. Come closer, child. Closer.... that's close enough.
It's your name. This site has several women growers and women staff members; you were reported for the name before we even approved your account creation. We wanted to try to give you the benefit of the doubt (trying not to be totally prudish) but I'd say that's probably where your troubles started I understand one of our excellent moderators has reached out to you about changing it up; that'd probably be a good start
Now jeebus guys, let's all have a pint and a smoke and enjoy the evening. Heck, maybe we'll even find a way to enjoy one another.
