One of our users was busted yesterday for one plant it looks like. This is very alarming but I would like to point out a couple things.

Charges: cultivation of marijuana, possession of marijuana and drug paraphernalia and public nuisance.

I don't know where the public nuisance came into play here but I think it was one of the reasons he was charged.

The story also says that he was tipped off by someone else.

This is a harsh reality of how you guys need to be safe. A couple tips that I have made up are as follows:

1) Clear your browser cache and cookies on a regular basis. http://www.ccleaner.com/download is a free program that does an excellent job.

2) Use a different user name then any other sites you goto. If i did a Google for this user name the third result was his website with name and address on it.

3) DO NOT GIVE OUT PERSONAL INFO, I DONT CARE HOW LONG YOU HAVE TALKED TO SOMEONE ON THE INTERNET. IT IS STILL THE INTERNET. YOU DO NOT KNOW THIS PERSON!

4) Do not give out your skype,aim,msn with those services once you are connected it is very easy to get your ip off that. (This I don't think was the case here)

The end result is be safe, don't make stupid mistakes.

Im going to leave this thread open for 24 hours, if you guys have any questions.

Take Care

Yep, you dont want to tie any of your personal information to your "rollitup life" -- and you can never put emphasis on #3 because I think people have a natural tendency to feel comfortable with a stranger after talking for a while, and sometimes that can end in disaster.

Good post.

Earlier there was some banter in regards to rollitup.org logging and cataloging users' IP address information. Does this "fact" hold any truth in regards to rollitup collecting users' IP addresses and neatly organizing them in a little file?

Ips are not collected nor do we keep them for our personal use, they get expunged from the system.

how do you deal with banned accounts or multiple accounts/ trouble makers? what time scale is it before ip's are expunged? daily, weekly?

Why can't we delete our own messages and or pictures?

I think it would be nice if R.I.U. let it's members retain some degree of control over their posts. The ability to delete threads and pictures is pretty much universal on messageboards. Why not here?

I am asking very nicely for this common courtesy.

I was also curious about this, I did not know we couldn't delete pictures. That's a pretty standard option on any forum, so is post editing. :shock::shock::shock:

Great post Rolli, it sucks that someone got busted. So we all need a gentle reminder to be smart about who you are talking to, what you are saying and what you post. You never know who is on the other end.

It seems a lot of ppl are unaware however, that once uploaded, nothing ever entirely disappears. You may indeed expunge the IP's here, but they have been recorded elsewhere. There is always a record somewhere, and LEO under certain circumstances can pull anything they want to.

There are no true take backs on the internet.

Caution is always the guideline.

this is very true, data has to go through main-servers to reach the sub-servers that we speak on.


however this just happened because of the unfortunate fact that he lives in a bad state for growing, no medical whatsoever, and he posted his shit online.

I guess I should have told him not to,it didn't really add up with me because I live in california and all this is just like nothing to me. but I forget that other people are risking their life posting something like that on the internet....

I think the deleting of posts/attachments VERY relevant to the thread at hand. If StickyMango had the opportunity to delete his stuff...perhaps he could've done so in time.

I think that I am done with this board. I learned everything I need to know...if the board mods aren't looking out for my best interests in letting me have control over pics/threads that I create...then I do not see a reason that I should have fellow members best interests at heart. (Which is 95% of what there is to do here once you learn the basics of growing) --- telling n00bs that they need to wait 4 more weeks before harvest.

What do I have to do to delete my account here?

Do I need to flame the crap out of people? Or can I just ask you nicely?

probably not. Sticky mango showed someone his grow here on rollitup. then they probably showed it to people all like check out this badass weed I'm gonna be getting and someone was a narc. Then they showed the police the evidence of the grow online saying this is so and so's grow. Deleting threads/ post's makes it hard to keep up in a thread cuz it will no longer make sense. If you're afraid to post pictures then don't. If you posted pics and now want them off here well you should of been thinking about the pro's and con's earlier. If you want to delete an account you can't. just stop posting nobody will even realize you werehere in like a week. This is the internet nothing is private on here. If the only crime you commit is weed then you shouldn't have a problem but if you're the type that gets warrants and has a blatent disrespect for the law and CAN"T KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT then this might not turn out so well for you. The internet is the only place i feel safe discussing this kind of info.
