Request for Mods/Admin

As we all know, the LED section has been providing all of us with great info on the emerging and also advancing technology of growing with LED as an alternative to HID.

I first started to hang hear a little bit over a year ago before deciding towards making a big purchase, and watched growers like Greengenes tear it up with comparos. Fast forward to 2015....

So here is my request. Is it about time to create a new sub-forum for the DIY/Build crowd? It just seems like we're steering away from actual growing and morphing into only the techno side of LED. Matter of fact, the DIY threads dominate this forum as of now.

Just a suggestion, feedback appreciated

There is a DIY section under general growing.

Yep aware of that. But what I was suggesting was a specific sub-forum of DIY for LED, for this forum in itself.

Maybe a subforum for LED under the DIY subforum.

Yes correct. Not looking to re-invent the wheel here lol, but if most members here are happy wading through DIY threads then so be it.

It would be nice to have a page dedicated to past DIY threads, those worthy of course (starting with the Crowns at the top of the list).

If DIY draws the most interest regarding LED growing, what we need is a non-DIY sub forum

What we need more than a new forum section is for the Mods and Admins to step up and stop all this trolling.

I'm all for the DIY sub forum because I'm addicted to it and I can't find an LED rehab in my neighborhood.

I found this site because of the DIY LED's so its becoming quite popular. And yes the trolling is quite amazing to say the least - its disruptive from people learning from each other.

Bump good idea

we have this http://rollitup.org/f/do-it-yourself.57/ , thats our diy section

Honestly we were hoping for a subprime within the diy section. So we can get some stickies to cut down on redundant threads.

The whole reason this thread started is because a number of members have recently been trying to completely derail the LED thread, and without any designated moderators in that section, everyone else just thinks its funny.

Because these members are popular contributors to other sections, nobody wants to do anything about it, but the reality is that they never actually contribute anything tangible to the led section. They just make themselves loud enough so nobody else can talk. It's as if the LED section has turned into the drunken politics section overnight and not returned.

Maybe what we need is a new forum, not a new forum section... I bet you the reef forums don't allow trolls to intentionally disrupt the DIY community. Personal attack is one thing. Reducing the overall value of the forum with spam while purposefully trying to mislead noobs leaves little redeeming value to the entire section.
