Drug talk section.

[SwiftSeller]

Before you click "Post Reply" and say something really stupid like "zOMG laem," or "Th1s is stoopid!@!12," just read the fucking post.

I suggest the creation of the drug talk forum. No sales, just talk. Guides, general discussion, etc.

I say this because the user education section and community general section is loaded up on a regular basis with bong this, hemp that, should i do this, or should i do that.

With a drug talk section all members who don't support drug usage don't have to be forcedly subjected to viewing threads with drug related content just because they want to view the UE or off topic sections. If a drug talk section was created, anyone who doesn't support will be told if you don't support, don't click the link.

Makes the druggies happy because they have a place to talk and find common ground, and it makes the clean people happy because they don't have to be subjected to seeing it all over other forums resulting in people's interesting guides and discussions being closed because of people spamming "lock pl0x" (TGI, your cool guide was my example).

So now. clean people: post if you would like the druggie's threads all somewhere else, or if you'd rather sit and complain about them and get them all closed because you like causing shit. and druggies: post if you would like your very own section where your threads will never be closed because of some clean kid's over-request or if you're just fine with your threads being chopped off in the middle of their ideas.

You could break it down as follows:

• Off-Topic Main Catagory
  • General Discussion/Off Topic
    • General Discussion Main Forum (the one thats already there)
      • Drug Discussion (or other name)
        • Drug Related Guides

Bold = new additions to the already established general discussion forum.


(btw, if this does become a section, I automatically vote Billyy, TGI Fridays and myself as mods hahaha)


/edit, this is not in the do not suggest list, so dont even start...


What does everyone think?

 

[MegaMatt]

To be honest, I love it, but I don't think its gonna happen because it would seem that we're encouraging drug use, but you never know.

 

[Rabs]

Nah bro.
Sounds good, but then again so does driving high.
It wont happen.

 

[.Pot Head.]

i support,

but it wouldnt happen, just find a drug related forum if you want to talk about drugs.

 

[DropKick Murphys]

I'd vote no and I hope it doesn't happen. While I wouldn't consider it encouraging drug use, even the acceptance of it I disagree with.

 

[Spazz]

Yea I like the idea but I don't think sythe would go for it. Seems as if he is very Anti-Drug.

 

[Guide]

I support.

 

[Sin666]

It's not going to happen.

People who dislike drug threads have usually already chosen their stance on drug use, and won't be swayed by pictures of your new bong. What they are against is the effect those discussions may have on other users, who may be thinking of using.

Although there are drug threads scattered around the site, these threads generally contain a mix of pro-con opinions, and aren't all in one place. However, an entire section full of information on how to get, how to smoke, what to buy, and how to grow weed, coupled with discussions of how great it is and how high people are, sends the wrong message to young members who haven't decided whether to use or not.

And I disagree; I think a dedicated forum does make it look like we support drug use, when all we really support is the freedom to discuss it.

This comes off as promoting drugs. Sythe is not a drug forum, even though there are some threads and discussions about this, there will never be a forum for this. It might seem like a good idea at first, but people are impressionable. Considering the age range of this forum, it would make a lot more people consider drugs. Sythe himself will probably argue this. Who's willing to take me up on that bet?

 

[Xombi]

I don't see why not to be honest. I understand where he is coming from. If there can be a section dedicated to all else on these forums, if no topic is too controversial, why not allow this?

Besides, youths are subjected to this every day. I highly doubt a section on this forum will cause thousands of children to go out and purchase some drugs and get into trouble. If anything, the guides would help them properly use them and not do something foolish. We've had our first times, we have our knowledge, and we have our bad experiences with it, why not help someone who shouldn't have to have a bad experience?

Perhaps make an option on your preferences to disallow viewing of the forum?

It's all around the internet; false facts and corrupted statistics, why not dedicated a little space to real experiences and real facts? The media has exaggerated this topic to irresponsible proportions, it couldn't hurt to have a little counter-argument.

I think this section is fine. If they dont like drugs dont look in the forum simple as that, and possibly could even put a warning message as the description for the board to warn them that there will be material about using drugs and such.

Personally don't think it gives off the right message, might be some religious users on here which may get offended.

Religion ≠ Drug promotion.

And even if they are offended, just because they are religious, they have more control? Censorship for the easily offended is quite absurd.

 

No. Sythe.org is not a drug site; we are focused around gaming. (illicit) Drug related guides would be borderline illegal and it's not as if we have an excessive amount of drug threads anyways.

i totally disagree. when people click on a thread in the off topic section and its about someones new bong then they get offended. if people dont like/use drugs this helps because they dont have to look at all the drug threads if they dont go in the drug section.

Egh. Did you read all of the posts?

Also, it's not a gaming website; it's a cheating forum.

The OP was saying that this would cut down on the amount of loose drug threads.

Alright. Sythe.org is a cheating forum with regard to games. >_<

The OP was saying that this would cut down on the amount of loose drug threads.

If there's an official marijuana forum, people are, for instance, more likely to make a guide on how to smoke a bong. Of course it would cut down on the number of loose threads, but there aren't many in the first place.

Odds are it would only increase interest in these activities by have an official forum. Increased interest isn't necessarily a bad thing, but generally speaking it's not appropriate for our audience. Sythe.org isn't designed for (a large amount of) drug discussion. Having a few threads on drugs is one thing, but an entire firm dedicated to drug guides...? A forum that would explain how to grow, buy, sell, etc....

I believe in safety when doing everything. If people don't know how to use drugs, they will attempt to do it on their own with no prior knowledge and end up hurting themselves more.

When the OP says guides, I believe he means how to safely do the drugs and how to stay safe while on them. I highly doubt he wishes to see people out driving while tripping. I highly he wishes for more people to do drugs. What benefit would anyone get for encouraging drug use? None. The forum would be targeting those who currently use drugs or have already made the decision on whether or not to do drugs.

In regard to this being a cheating site, is it moral to cheat? Do people encourage others to cheat in real life? There are guides circulating on how to safely exercise, eat healthy, etc., why not have guides to show how to safely do drugs?

 

[claw bogy]

Do you really want to introduce 200+ more 13 year olds to drugs???

Look at rsbot.. They have a 18+ section where everything is basictly allowed all those 13-14 years have easy access to more porn and gore.

You Idiot, how do you "safely" do drugs?
