Security warning regarding Grasscity

[hondagrower420]

Riu has been my heaven for years. I had a different acct way back when I was outdoors in east Tennessee. I was on overgrow and Riu, that's it.

These other forums can't really be all that bad man.

i have heard GC is a little uh ...more strict than riu
i guess it just all depends, users typically arent as uh innocent as they make themselves out to be,

im sure people go to GC saying they were unfairly banned on riu and how terrible we are

Danny boy was a mod who went off the reservation pretty hard, banning people for no reason- like me. It DOES Happen, but thankfully it's rare. At least here.

Yeah, I have been timidly jumping into toke and talk and politics. It is brutal in there.

Most of the nonsense seems contained in there.

But it is fun to bullshit.

Like my momma always said, "if you dish it out, you better be able to take it"

and he was instantly demodded , banned and all the accounts were reinstated.
thats not an abuse of security though, he did not misuse IP addresses or emails or anything that would be considered a security breech.
thats just an abuse of mod powers with banning.

You can say all you want they are not going to go after people who "say" stuff. They want actual photos and other types of evidence that can directly convict you. I always had problems signing up under "tor", this is why i will never post pics and etc. under my account. Every single site but one will not let me sign up with tor. Rollitup will let me sign up but they never send the email code when i register under tor. I like this site but that brings up a red flag, so i keep my stuff under the radar.

I know why you can't sign up and it has nothing to do with using a tor
You can't have multiple accounts at rollitup

I was signing up a friend from his computer from his house, I also tried to sign up with tor first. I thought it might have been a mistake but sure enough they never sent him a code either.

Added: When you sign up with tor it hides everything, your ip, your signature, i mean everything. There is no way for riu to even know if its the same person or not unless you use register with the same email addy. Some email sites will not even accept registering under the "tor" network for several reasons, they cant track you or send you spam.

Added: Its the same for almost all sites but one, kinda strange. It doesnt really matter, just will not post any photos and stuff of that nature. No biggy

Our website is secure not a single person has ever been convicted or had Riu used for any reasoning against them legally

While I totally respect your right to use a tor not all tors work with our website
This is to stop the spread of spam

I would rather have one person complain here and there about their tor not working than have the board littered with spam on a daily basis and most users would agree

But again this isn't your issue I know why you have this issue but I can't tell you because than you'd have two accounts and you can't have two accounts here

Spam? There are several other ways to do away with the spam bots if that's what you are talking about. For example some sites use the picture only humans can figure out during registration.

We have several ways of making sure spam does not reach our forum
This happens to be one counter measure
As for your other post plenty of users use a tor here
The one you're using just doesn't work with our system
I see your edited post up top i know and am fully aware of what a tor is
But again I know why you're having a problem and I won't tell you why because you can't have multiple accounts here

 

[rshackleferd]

I can use tor all day long after i have registered with my real ip address and email address. The issue becomes a problem when i first tried to register under tor,"same thing happened to a friend i was trying to help". Which tor are you talking about that lets you register with riu? This kinda info could be helpful in keeping us under the radar, IMO there should be a sticky since this is a very important topic for most users.

Added: I use the edit bottom a lot because im stoned and leave out and forget a lot of stuff...lol. Im glad you can see the edited versions

There's so many tors and Vpns out there
That we can't go and attempt to try them all out and than list them for what works for rollitup

While it may seem like an important top topic to you and some other users the majority of the forum does not use a tor or Vpn

While we respect the rights of users to use one
It isn't our job to source , try out and find third party applications like tors and Vpns and make sure they work with our website
Sorry

 

[rshackleferd]

ok thanks for the info sunni, Im just really paranoid, I dont even trust vpns especially when they are located within the states. However thanks for the info.

First of all, I can understand an interest in doing folks from having multiple accounts. However, to use ip addresses as anything other than just another tool and as a clue to potential fraud rather than as proof, is fraught with problems.

First of all, most folks don't have fixed ip addresses. Each time they reconnect they are assigned an address from a pool of addresses associated with their ISP.

Secondly, most people's routers use NAT (network address translation) so everyone on a home network appears to the outside world as if they're all using the same address, but the router keeps track of which device is associated with each data stream.

Moreover, what about folks who use public computers, say at a library? If someone else accessed the site from that device previously, both IDs would be linked to that same address.

It's an imperfect system but the best available at the time. Either way it is a private site and the owners/administrators are not obligated to allow you to post any more than you are obligated to use the site yourself. And at the end of the day, there are very few illegitimate bans going down the pipeline...everybody always has a story, but if you're getting banned you probably did something to deserve it and need the timeout anyways.

Any forum has IP checks, it a system check,
Im sure some people dont realize this, but this is not an unknown thing it happens on any forum regardless of the content of the forum itself.

When we see an IP its a long digit number that provides us with your mobile phone provider or internet provider you use, your basic general area like state, and city.
The city is almost always off , right now my IP says I live in Anchorage alaska, I live not even remotely close to anchorage.

When a user at rollitup creates a secondary account with the same IP it pops up , but just the number does, we the mod staff would have to physically check the number to see the information like service provider, state and city. And we at rollitup really dont care about that, what we care about is that someone is creating a second account under the same IP. To which than we check if its a spouse or friend creating an account or someone creating a "sock puppet" account to harass or troll the forum (which is than banned)

I cant speak for grasscity, but we at rollitup do not share this information with anyone, our mod staff are well respected people (civilians) who will not share your information.
And we on our servers side is well protected from any means of law enforcement, they cannot just come on here and get your IP.


Its really best if you fully understand what an IP address is , and how forums work before spreading mass paranoia rumors , those never help anyone. ever.

Has a spouse ever been banned thinking it was a sock puppet? Spouse and friend is ok though I get from your post. I was on a site you literally couldn't log in two users from the same computer. So if you had someone over and they wanted to login they would have to bring a separate computer lol. It was a game so I guess it may be a bit different though.

Yes it doesn't happen often but it has happened where we banned a spouse
We are only human we make errors

It is ok to have a roommate spouse or friend sign up it is better to inform us (the mod staff ) prior to doing so just to give us a heads up

Everybody knows that sunni has an actual banishment hammer and comes to you house and starts swing. It's why she said spouses have accidentally been banned.

Sunni shows up swinging.

Hey Sunni, how are you?


Anyhow, are people really this paranoid? I mean you should just stop doing illegal activity if you are so skittish.

If I was paranoid about a lea trying to conduct surveillance over the internet, on a forum. I would stop using said forum.

I was friends with Somebeech.. He showed me exactly where I lived.. City, cross streets everything.. I've changed everything since..

Use an exif eraser on your photos.. That is all I can say..
