Do you agree with how we are being restricted on rollitup?

Hey I love this community, you people are nice and helpful to others.
The mods are all very friendly too but seems to me that the rest of us pay for the mistakes of others, being that the mods or the members themselves.

These are my complaints, the reasons and answers I think are completely reasonable.

1. You can't delete pictures- why? because people who had posted pictures decided they didn't like this site anymore and deleted them leaving useful threads empty and bare.
my opinion- aren't our pictures our own property? shouldn't we be able to delete them as we please without permission. If the pictures and or information were so important someone should be transferring them over to the empty FAQ and add a grow journal section. I'll volunteer!, its a dead FAQ anyways. And even so get over it, so what someone wanted to bail and took THEIR property with them. Let the rest of us be free to post pics and delete them.
2. The same happens with posts... I can't edit the first page of my grow journal to put in MORE useful information because of the same thing. More annoying than that the site has somehow started deleting my posts and or pictures... so the one posts I want to re-edit to fix the missing picture that disappeared out of no where can't be fixed. and on top of that in place of the missing picture is 3 pictures I DID not post... how weird is that. It says the last person to edit it was me. But I didn't!
Opinion- same
3. Signatures can only be 2 lines- People have been posting huge pictures, half page signatures and paragraph quotes. So they fuck it up for the rest of us who just want to post links to our grows or other useful information. I somehow made it past that and just happen to have a longer sig. But I cant change it to incorporate my new grow or my DIY projects I would like to share. This only makes it harder because I know that if I am correctly posting somewhere I SHOULD be that I wont get the right traffic. So it makes me want to post somewhere I shouldn't just because I cant link it on my sig.
my solution: punish those who did the wrongs in the first place. but let us have our signatures like every other site does. Or just make signatures like some messages are, moderated. Make it so they have to be approved, but don't just stop us from linking to things we think are important.

Ok yeah Im a little pissy because I've been on this site for only a few days and I'm already having a wave of issues I have never had anywhere else. And its just issues with how the site is restricting us.

I just want to know if any mods have any suggestions for me to get past these issues, and who of the members feel my pain about the current situation.

2 seems like the option for me... but Is it the mods fault? wouldnt that be Mr. RIUs fault... you want to punish him? :P
 
Oh yes sorry that was a mis print on my part... I know very well that Mr. RIU is the only man with the power to change these things. Sorry Mods... this isn't about you guys but they may be the only ones to be able to influence any change.

About the other things I have spoken with a mod about this and no at some point you are not allowed to edit your own posts or edit or delete your own pictures because of what I mentioned above.

I got this information directly from a mod so I know it to be true.

This is why I have chosen to speak up about the issues.

and yes I too love it here and will choose not to go anywhere even if things never change, but I do see a trend... at some point all of these restrictions were not there. and if this is true than we can only expect that more restrictions with be added.

Well, GreenLight, I'd say that you are completely wrong!!


This thread should be in Make Your Requests, not Support. :mrgreen:

Seriously, you make some excellent points. And yes, Rollitup is the guy who actually programs the system, but we are all working to shape this forum. We've discussed all of these points in the past, and have decided to try it this way. Nothing is set in stone, and suggestions like yours are what starts the discussion. So thanks for that!

:mrgreen:
 
Beats me dude, I asked because I thought it was just another case of restricting the new kid on the block. but Mod told me it is a new setting because people would get mad at the site for something or another and replace their posts to be annoying. whatever... its not fair to me... I know %100 that there is no edit button on the first post in my Vertical grow thread and you see those weird 3 pictures repeated... I didn't post those. I posted ONE picture... one day it was gone... the next day this shit pops up. WEIRD!


what point does it stop? I can go back to the first post I wrote and replace it with the word balls!

that is very weird... se I edited my post up their to balls! :mrgreen: :roll::blsmoke: I started a thread with pics yesterday, and I edited my first post in it several times... and have done so on many ocasions before.
but there are some things I would like to see change... I would really like to see the FAQ expand to maybe 20X its size:roll::blsmoke::twisted::peace:
 
What am I wrong about? I'm curious... I asked a question about why I cant edit my stuff, why I cant edit my sig, and why I cant delete my pix.

This isn't what I say is the reason for it.
Its what I have been told is the reason for it.

If you have something different to say please do... I would like to know why these weird things are happening to me.

he was making a joke, he was saying you are wrong about what section you put the thread in, than went on to say that he agrees with you:blsmoke:
 
At least we have a grow FAQ,some forums don't. I would love to help expand it.

Can you tell me how I can edit my pictures?
mod may have understood me wrong and there is a way. Who knows?

Weird shit is still going on... there's no doubt about that.

Hey potroast, were you talking about my thread subject line. I wrote it wrong I guess because I meant it more as a question... if that makes any sense.
 
LOL! I don't smoke enough to be THAT paranoid. But that little nug with the Christmas hat did seem to be talking to me a minute ago... I wonder if RUI did that too.

he says he feels like a dumb ass for wearing this hat past new years, he would much rather a joint and some farmer overalls.



wasnt this thread several post longer two seconts ago?!?!?!
 
I can fly, or was that just a dream I had. I guess I don't get special powers.

So get this guys, and I'm just sharing not complaining. I sign into my account to see if there are any responses to my hermie thread and nothing was there so I was like oh well let me go in there and ask another question maybe someone will answer now.

There were like 5-6 posts.

So this is my issue for some reason it didn't show up on my page as a new post or that something was answered. Kind of like if someone had signed into my account for me. I know I'm starting to sound major paranoid but I read a thread before of some guy who went completely nuts because this happened to him.

Is it possible that someone has hacked the forums and is fucking with people, because you guys seem to have quite a number of people that have random weird issues like this and end up leaving and causing problems.
I just don't think its the mods because who would be stupid enough to just edit my posts to mess with pix or to sign into my account so I don't see my new responses.

This is just fucking weird shit!
