I've been super busy IRL the last couple of days so haven't had time to get on much.
Just wanted to set the record straight here.
BH was given plenty of chances to alter his behaviour, I asked him to do so more than once. There were many instances of him being warned by all of us various mods, and or moderated for his attitude and behaviour to other members on here.
Being helpful on one hand, and then verbally attacking another member with the other hand is not ok. Enough is enough.
His position as a moderator as mine does means we are representatives of this community and all that it stands for. His attitude and behaviour towards others did not consistantly show a good face for any of us so that priviledge was taken away.
BH then went and abused his mod priviledges that he still had before the system updated itself, and deleted huge amounts of the IPM threads. That does not say he's here for the community to me.
That is why he recieved a 30 ban/time out to cool off.
Got word this morning that BH got banned from PH. I don't understand everything that happened but as far as I'm concerned he probably contributes more to this thread than anybody else and it's a major loss not to have him around. Why can't we all just get along?
It is a loss, he was a great grower, and very knowledgeable. Nothing was malicious about the 30 day time out.
He however is the one that had controll over what happened. BH had more than enough chances. How much toxic rants towards folks, and or site sabotage should be allowed before something is done about it. I get that he put alot of it up, but wasnt that put up for the benefit of everyone? And then deleted to the detriment of everyone as well?
BH did that, I only called him on it, and temp banned him when I found out about his retaliation for loss of mod priviledges due to his behaviour.
And my hope is that Yes we can all get along, but just like IRL sometimes folks just need a time out for awhile. thats all this is.
I guess it’s hard to comment unless we know what went down. No denying though he was a solid contributor especially when someone was having an issue grow related.
Only my opinion but from what I’ve seen PH is reasonably tolerant of the odd slip up here and there regarding rules and such .
Again though I don’t know the circumstances .
I’m not even sure of the process involved if an individual is banned . Is it a collective decision made by the moderator group or can a single mod make the call ?
I’ll get banned in a minute because now I’m sounding political 🤦🏼♂️
Was a joke mods . Don’t hate me 😝
No, not ban happy at all. That was the first time I ever did so for this site, and it was the abuse of given priviledges that brought it on.
I love yer posts mang, and yer dog. I couldn't ban you, then I'd never see muttly again. lol
WTF??? Someone please explain.
Shit happens mang, sometimes ya give someone enough rope and they hang themselves.
from my experience the moderators here are good fellas that went above and beyond to help me out when I had shit hit the fan in real life. Hopefully whatever it was can be worked out and everyone can break bread again. Life is too short to get angry and say or do things against each other and it can be taken in an instant. You're right rosinallday, why can't we all just get along. I've often pondered that. Life and this world would be a much better place if we all just treated each other the way we would like to be treated. Hopefully everything works out
The only thing that would stop things from working out would be how he comes back. Aint no hate here, just looking out for the all of us and this place we call our weed homes.
The loss of his expertise in IPM is incalculable. I feel al lil sick to my stomach over it.
Me too. Blame the guy who deleted it, his name was BH.
Look at every ipm thread for an idea 💡 why this went down...
Yep, that was my ban reason.
This is all really sad. Can't believe it. Nobody is perfect, we all have our bad moments. Obviously the dude really loved this place otherwise he wouldn't take so much time trying to help people.
Well he was banned for 30 days for doing the exact opposite of what you just mentioned. Someone that loved this place wouldn't have deleted the IPM files in retaliation for being called on their inappropriate behaviours.
Seems as though things have been removed or maybe I’m just not looking in the right spots? Can’t find any context, but been around long enough to see how or why it could’ve happened. Sad to see him go..
Yeah, you cant find them because the person missing deleted them. Sad about it as well, but he is welcome to come back in 30 days if his attitude has changed.
BH got the boot!? He was a great dude. Tons of knowledge and always willing to offer great advice. Wth did he do to deserve this!?
Agree with ya, was a great contributor.
Read above, I think I answerred everything pretty well.
Yes he got booted can you believe it? I've been emailing and messaging him all day and it doesn't sound like he did anything to deserve it but I don't know all that was said. I'm really hoping that one of the mods will reach out and try to fix this. pretty sure love is the answer.
Tried fixing things plenty of times, was pushed to taking action. Ball is in his court.
