It is primarily the context in which words are used that are of concern, not the words themselves. It is not our goal to censor specific words, but likewise we do not wish to have the Growery come off as some twisted haven for racist assholes. So when it gets to the point that a thread (or a specific user) is full of nothing but "nigger this" and "nigger that", where the posts contain nothing insightful or interesting to discuss, you better believe I'm going to lock or delete it. On the other hand, if someone drops an N-bomb in passing, within the scope of a larger topic that actually has some substance, it's really not a big deal.
It seems that some of you just thrive on drama and blowing things out of proportion. It should not be hard to post in a manner that isn't going to offend new members from joining our community. Being outrageous and in-your-face is fine every once in a while, but when the concentration of such behavior begins to evoke an admiration for racism or idiocy, that's where I draw the line.
it wasn't a context of racism,it was a context of irony. So i don't see why i should have gotten that warning but i guess it's ur choice to give it to me.

Noted. I just want to make sure the message here is clear. I'm tired of people probing for a reaction from the moderators by skirtin' on the line of what is acceptable and what isn't.

yea i toatally agree man theres definatley funny ways to use it and bitch ways but i reallly dont think thats any reason why people arnt on this forum that much i mean if they take offense to people online saying it out of fun then they probably should not be on a forum in the first place.
i do agree with you tho

QFT.
i post my grow log here because i like the people here and want to contribute to the community so hopefully it will end up having more of a knowledge base, and i generally ask my cultivation questions over on icmag. i try to post them here too for the sake of adding to teh forum, but there's 1000x more growing stuff over there.
i dont mean to knock growery, i like it here, but with the newness of the place, all that we've really got going on is the social side, and when thats getting all locked down, it starts to look pretty bleak 
i can understand the powers that be wanting to run things proper, but i don't see this ending well. it seems like attracting new users and sponsors has taken precedence over keeping existing active users happy. i'm not the pot-stirring type and i doubt i'll ever attract attention from the mods, but for better or worse, the latest bans have detracted from the forums for me.

Is a 16 year old guy having sex w/a 16 year old girl a pedophile?
If not, then how is a 30 year old considered a pedophile for doing the same thing?
I think y'all need to look up the definition for pedophile.

Yea right man. I cant beleive the number of people who just left because of one mod. I dont get some were telling me to just deal it would be OK in time and they left themselves. Even some grow logs have moved on too. But Ill stick around just to see what happens I mean Ive had a few new friends here and would like to make more.

this place is too new. i think that's why the admins wanna crack down on the nigger this nigger that, it might turn away potential n00bs and experts from joining the sight and actually contributing to what this site was created for: growing pot
hope that made sense, ive been doing n2o
