I assume you mean the thread I locked with the user name "The Dealer"................I did apologise for locking it and did point out I did it so it could be moderated.

I saw a brand new member who only joined today who had a user name that was frankly rather inappropriate for our site and the avatar and the graphics used looked very professional. I was suspicious that this could be a "Brand" working it's way into AFN and did what any other staff member would have done, and that is to report the thread to the Admins for moderation

We have a duty to protect AFN from potential law suits and negative publicity and under our T&C's cannot condone any weed or seed trading between members. Hence my antenna twitching at the user name. The avatar and graphics you used are really quite superb, I love 'em, but you gotta admit they do look rather business class !

I do hope we can sort this out, I hate to cause friction, but I hope you understand why I did what I did. Also, Hobbes has not replied to my PM's either. I guess he is rather busy. He has a job and a family just like many of us and remember, we are all volunteers.

cheers pal.....................eP.

Well I tried to change my user name to match my other user name on another site. Sent a PM to Son of Hobbes and I was only questioned about my motives and told I can not advertise? I'm not trying to advertise I've been posting updates on my journal for 2 years now has anyone seen me advertise?
After no more responses from SoH I assume he just brushed me off. So I created a new account with my new user name and created a new journal that was locked not even an hour into posting it up.

So this journal is done and so am I with this site.

Canad,

Hey brother for starters it's the weekend and I have both friends and family that have flown and drove from out of state to see me. I didn't even get your message until Friday, and I'll be the first to admit that even we admin like to grill some steak, drink a few beers and a have toke on the weekend without having to constantly sit on our phones or the computer to take care of site requests. That said, you literally told me you were starting a business which is why I asked you those questions

Hey SoH, I was wondering if its possible to change my user name and also the title for my grow journal. I recently started a business and so would like to swap out my user name to match everything. Thanks.

Then I asked what your business name was:

The Dealer
the business name is The Dealer's Choice.

When I told you we don't allow advertising without consent, you said:

I'm not selling anything yet I'm waiting on what happens with the Canadian law changes. I would just be selling what I produce in my journal but not looking for advertisment. Just wanted my user name to match the one I use on 420 magazine.

Well we definitely don't allow selling of product. We also don't allow multiple usernames. We also don't allow advertising without consent, which is why your request was not granted (and it's the weekend, had you checked tomorrow morning after I had my coffee, you would of had your response (and even in a very nicely replied manner, because there is no need to be a d-bag about just telling someone the rules and guidelines of their site and business, you know what I mean Vern?)

I read your PM you just sent about having your accounts removed, the new one will be removed due to the above reasons mentioned and brother, you are still MORE than welcome to stay on the site and journal. We just ask you don't advertise your business or try to sell product, which you clearly implied (I mean, verbatim quoted) plans of doing. There is no clever skirt of the rules, at least not on this one, I'm sorry I hope you reconsider leaving the site, I feel the answers provided here are more than adequate and fair, and hope to see you grow on brother.

I do plan to sell. But not on this website nor any other website. What I said was that I plan to sell what I produce in this journal. Not that I want to sell what I produce using this journal. Sorry for the confusion. So.
A. I didn't want multiple accounts I wanted this one changed. Since it seemed like that wasn't going to happen. I was going to ditch this one for the new one.
B. I just started the business for local folks in my town only. Nothing about what I do in this journal is for sale online now or in the future. Yes my icons look professional, They were professionally designed, but nothing about my photos displays anything that implies something is for sale or redirects anyone to a place where something is sold. Nor will it in the future. I simply like to share my journal to the community of this site.
C. My other journal on 420 Magazine which is heavily restricted and very much a pain for following the rules. Changed my user name and journal without a blink of an eye. Yet over here where I was quite happy because of how relaxed it was... Or seemed. I get denied?

So as much as I liked sharing on this community I would love to continue my journal here. But I will only continue it under the new name so that the folks I refer to follow me should they want to see how its done, don't get confused searching different names on different sites. If thats too much to ask then its best to part ways.

Just like it was assumed that I was using this site for other reasons. I also assumed that getting no more responses and having my thread locked when I tried to fix this small issue myself. I tied the 2 together and reacted with my post above. So I apologize to both @Son of Hobbes & @epenguin

Thank you for the apology brother, 15 all. You do have a fine journal and grow some good looking girls.

I always say, words are the source of all misunderstanding. More so when don't have all the facts and assume stuff. Happy growing.

eP.
