Encouraging Others

This^
If they're not a doctor they shouldn't be suggesting any kind of drug to anybody.

 

If discussions about illegal hacking/warez/etc. are not allowed here, why does Sythe basically allow rampant discussion of/and encouragement to use and allow illegal drugs?

Note, I'm 19 years old, and have never tried an illegal substance or tobacco for that matter. I dont have a problem with those that use weed, but If we are so strict on some matters of legality, why not others?

 

Should moderators remove the posts and infract those just because you do not agree with the advice?

 

As Wolfdog said... We're not allowed to talk about hacking and such, should a mod remove the post and infract those just because they disagree with hacking?

 

The rules are very specific when it comes to "hacking" as this is a market website. There is no rule against talking about content like drugs.

 

That's a little harsh don't you think? Just because people ask for advice, or help in a matter, doesn't automatically make them idiots. Nearly everyone here has the ability to make rational decisions, whether or not their life is a mess at the time.

Sometimes you just need someone to put in their thoughts, just so you can reach a better decision, or incase you missed something. It's always good to have more than just your own opinion.

They should still be able to make a choice on whether or not to take someones advice, and I don't think the matter is as serious as you make it out to be. Who knows, maybe we suggest weed to someone, they go try it for the first time, and their life becomes so much better that they actually campaign for legalization and win!

Or maybe they ignore it, and someone else thinks of something else. Either way, stop trying to make decisions for other people by limiting the flow of conversation.

BAHAHAHA... 'weed out'. I'm not sure if you meant to do that or not, but good one tk.

OK... you keep making your grave because you're reaching. If they're not a doctor, they shouldn't be offering ANY kind of mental or physical advice. And if you stick by your theory that people that need help are idiots, then that section should just be removed. If you're not a doctor, you don't know everything, and therefore any advice you give may actually not be something a real doctor would do and therefore you should not post.

I actually appreciate your point, but Sythe doesn't disallow that conversation simply because it's illegal. He disallows it because he personally doesn't like it at all. Not to mention, the server hosts and such would not allow that type of discussion as it poses a risk to their hardware.

In the case of illegal substances, I could pretty much say that the only thing that would persuade Sythe to disallow such conversation would be to prove to him that it hurts the number of potential new users and lowers his site ratings... Which of course, is an absurd theory.


This entire thread is filled with ignorance, and quite honestly... I motion for a lock and dismissal. Users are posting nonsense based on personal opinion rather than solid fact and the movement itself is based on opinion rather than fact. Fact: Marijuana is illegal for no GOOD reason. Fact: Marijuana does not make you 'stupid'. Fact: Marijuana is NOT a gateway drug, dealing with drug dealers and people who do other drugs is what causes experimentation, marijuana does not fall under this. Fact: Marijuana relaxes the muscles, focus' the mind, relieves stress, and allows the user to ignore things that do not matter.

Let's stop bashing on marijuana if you don't have the facts.

 

My question was why? They are both illegal, and while hacking rules do certainly hold a more important role in the well being of this community, shouldnt all illegal (discussions) be against the rules? or encouraging someone to break the law knowingly?

Also... EDIT : I agree with everything the above poster has said.

 

If it were against the rules because it is against the law, then yes. But it's not against the rules because it's against the law. Sythe doesn't really care about what is against the law; his set of standards has allowed him to assess the legality of certain matters and reach a new decision based on that. It works for him .

I like to think of it as SytheLaw... it's what Richard thinks is right .

 

Lol, woot someone caught it.

 

Lol I didnt wanna be the guy that points out the obvious pun, so thanks

 

No support at all

Lot of misinformed people in this thread its kinda depressing, I'm gonna go smoke a joint to make myself feel better after reading the retarded posts in this thread.

 

Ok, someone list the things weed can solve.

 

I think the rule should be wider, encouraging others to break rules shouldn't be allowed either.

Also, this is a discussion about his suggestion. Not about drugs.

 

It's not illegal in all places, so stop saying it's against the law.
It's legal in many places for medicinal use, and legal in other places for using whenever.

If people can't give suggestions, then why the hell is there a personal support section? If you've never tried weed nor did ACTUAL research about weed, I honestly can say... Stop posting because you know nothing.

You obviously think weed is the same as any other drug. When in fact it's not, it was actually legal for many years. At one time, I'm not sure on the actual law but I believe if you owned a farm, you were suppose to grow hemp.

If it's legal for medicinal (Practically everywhere now) use or legal ANY where in the world, we should be allowed to suggest it, as we're suggesting it for medicinal uses.

No we're not doctors, but some people don't know exactly what to do with their problems, so they can suggest it to the doctor.

Weed once again, makes you a happy person. It doesn't make the illusion that you are, it MAKES YOU a happy person, if you smoke it regularly.
Happy people do good things in life.

I support "dude chill out and smoke some weed" as being spam.

I don't support saying this being against the rules. "I suggest trying some weed, or talking to your doctor about it to see what they say, it's worked for me and I think it could help you with your situation"

This rule should not be implemented for weed, but any illegal drug that is illegal everywhere, if not everywhere then 90% of the world, then it should be not allowed. Because obviously it's extremely dangerous and has no actual helpful use.

Thanks for reading, feel free to reply to my post with any questions or corrections.
Please don't just post with the same "it's dangerous" bullshit, it's getting annoying.

 

@Lym; I love you. <3

 

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legality_of_cannabis_by_country

You mean like that 90%?
It's used for medicinal reasons in 15 states of america, Israel, Finland, Canada.

I'm seeing all those countries you're talking, all 4 of them...

Edit: Oh and Uruguay allow legality for personal use.

 

This is turning into another one of those "Should weed be legalised" thread. It's the same argument over and over again.

"Should I use weed?"
"No it's illegal"
"Actually, yeah, you should - it eases pain"

Honestly? I think its up to the original poster whether they view posts such as "omg, juzt sm0ke weed bro" as spam, or just completely irrelevant. This is what the report a post is for. It should all vary on a case by case basis, and the quality of the suggestion should, again, be decided by the OP.


Rather than raging at each other about the pros and cons of weed, simply rage about the pros and cons of the suggestion.

 

If you look at the graph, the "Decriminalization" color is around 30% of the world - not exact but pretty close.

All of Canada is illegal, but unenforced meaning they don't actually care.
It's legal to get a medical Marijuana license where I live in Canada.

It's not illegal 90% of the world, as you've implied in your previous post.
It's closer to 50%.

Edit:

Also I just wanted to say I'm not saying it should be legal everywhere, I'm saying it's legal in a lot of places and it should be allowed to be suggested.
Obviously if someone says "Just sm0ke weed br00" that's spam.

Edit: Also, just wanted to say I respect your opinions on this, I just wanted to put mine here also.
Obviously in the end it's up to the admins / globals. I'm out of this thread for now.

 

The way I see it is if you start telling people what they can and can not suggest for people to do you are putting your personal thoughts on everyone. It the post is a troll, then ban them. If it is spam, ban them too. If it is someone honestly trying to help, why do anything?

 

Just wanted to point out that suggesting drugs to someone who is clinically depressed is a horrible idea. It brings temporary happiness which the brain automatically connects to the drug = easy dependency. Just my first hand experience.
