Does anyone else have an issue with so and so raiding their thread with rules? When we obviously gather on this site to appreciate the great plant, breaking a little societal rule, finding sovereignty on this forum... then having some little douchebag be a total buzzkill about you have to wait for this you can't do that. Please get a life kids... you are REALLY KILLING MY BUZZ let the MODERATORS DO THEIR JOBS!!! :mad::confused: ja
What is all y'alls input?
i just think EVERYONE should just not fuckin post in glass market threads unless ur dib'in.
i dont care if u owned the piece, smoked outta it what ever...
keep it to yourself. no one wants there sales altered due to some asshats 2 cent.
only reason i could ever see anyone saying somthin is if there isnt a name n date. cus if i was to buy a piece id ask for it. But if ur not intrested in buying it. dont even worry bout it. let the one who wants to buy it ask n worry.
everyone just needs to mind there own shit imo. its the fuckin rules anyhow. if i was a mod everyone would hate my guts cus id get nuttier than squirrel shit on everyone.

well you know what, the mods don't do their fuckin jobs, thst's the point! but no, i'm the bad guy!
If the members could control their own selves and follow the rules of the site none of this would be an issue. At that point mods would not even be necessary. I think they should up the age to 25 , I would bet almost anything most of the problems come from the group below that. Peace GS
ps. should have a punch in the head rule. Like if you are not willing to take a shot in the head for your post you shouldn't post it
Thank you for all the quick responses.

We need a real fascist around here.
I also like GS's 25+ rule.
Hey you need a photo with name and date.. Oh wait nevermind.. (Sarcasum lol) I see so many of these cats telling people what too do. Why does it even bother them when it does'nt even concern them. Most of the time they have no interest in even purchasing the glass they comment on.
we started this site, and purposely made the rules as basic as possible....we aren't into being "facists"....but yes somethings gotta give...and the changes we instill may make a lot of people angry...but thats not our intent.....but its clear things have got to change...the mods and I do this for nothing....we do it cause we care about hash and glass and cannabis in general....everyone of the mods is a real person with a life outside of fmb(yes there is a world offline)....its very frustrating when you spend a cpl hours cleaning up the market, only to come back the next morning with a whole new set of posts breaking the rules....
Hire me. I don't really have a life
See thats the thing, no one's getting paid. Still gotta deal with the losers, but no ones paid. Peace GS
its pretty funny cause i have been seeing you do quite a bit of instant modding yourself ja
Just pointing out what I feel is obvious. Kinda sad I have to point it out really. Thanks for yer input. Peace GS
dictator? anyone?

Upping the age will do absolutely nothing, are you going to card at the door? In order to do such a thing you would need to implement a system, such as trust who, that everyone who plans on using the site has to fax them your ID, and go through all that verification shit. Not to mention it would cost bubbleman money to use their service along with each person who signs up....
so the age thing is really out the door imo...
Best you can really do is let the mods do their jobs and understand this is a FREE COMMUNITY. Not only is it a free community but its a community of stoners so smoke your weed(or hash) and read the rules and let the mods do their best.
If its really a problem, i suggest giving a couple of veterans here maybe a glass market admin title and have them simply remind people rules.
PS. this post isn't by any means meant to bash anyone's ideas, its just my .02.
^^^^ while i agree that upping the age might not solve all problems, I think it would solve a bunch.
I sent BFG a pic of my ID to confirm my age and become a member. It cost nothing and really wasn't difficult at all. It by no means is impossible or expensive.
Word. Speaking from a few years experience, being a mod is the single worst job on earth. Thanks to those who do it, almost always for nothing.Quote:

Unfortunatley the only problem is in the Glass Market. There should be no problem, there is just a trust issue apparently with lots of members.... Your a member on a peaceful site, and there is distrust...make any sense whatsoever?Quote:

there's distrust on glass market for just cause...
1) let the mods do their jobs
2) respect the rules
3) respect the mods
ban the repeat offenders.
one question... i have nothing against this person, nor am i discrediting him at all..
but why is dreadhead a mod?
if its because of experience and length of membership as well as contribution to the site, then i feel there are a ton better choices out there. hell, i've been on this site prior to the "boom".. i notified trikky who told 521 and everyone else about FMB. why cant i be a mod? hahhaah
nah idk id like to be one, but im too nice of a guy. i think id let too much slide because i dont see a problem with any of it.. its not like bubbleman or any of the admins get charged per post on their forums.
yet i follow the rules, i dont want anyone to think otherwise. sorry for the long story i just had to ask.. there have been way wayy to many occasions where my RELEVANT and NECESSARY posts were deleted by dread because he thought they were off topic. ridiculous.

Might be a little far fetched but those who truly appreciate the glass market would still be there.
Yeah that is true, I understand. Fucking assholes, ruining peoples days, honestly people who burn people deserve to burn in you know where....Quote:

LOL and I hate to bring it up, but there are such a thing as fake ID's. We all need to trust eachother, so let's build a trust and get along, and as Bubbleman says talk to the glassblower before you buy from him, or the seller, talk to him via private mesasging, feel him out... you'll know if he's legit or not, it's like when you buy anything... Feel it out, if it feels right do it, if not fuck it. I really appreciate all the input people. Pleas keep it coming. Peace Ja
I think it should be private. Invites only. Also if rules are going to be followed everyone should have to follow them. Not just some people.
^^ very true thats one thing that sucks the mods dont control enough and people do what they please so others try and mod which doesnt turn out good..
i was think, idk if this would work or if you can do it, but make it so only the OP and mods can post in threads. everything is done by pm and when sold just post sold. the OP would have to clarify their thread and make sure it has all info people need... but this would also not stop people from bumping whenever tho.
my 2c.
Im with yawbus!!!! except on the private thing:snake:
i used to bitch up a storm on the glass site, breaking it down, protecting members......but a bunch of whiney little bitches started questioning what i was doing and then bombarded bubbleman about me and my job on this thing...so i'm not a mod anymore...and then guess what?.....people started getting ripped off and burned, just like i knew it was gonna happen.. and some of the people that got burned were the people bitching about me.... and the people that burned them were the people i was bitching about! so, then here we are.....but no...i was the bad guy!
No matter WHAT happens, there's always gonna be that "grass is always greener" mentality from someone. When we as mods start to get aggressive, someone always bitches and cries, with PM's like "i'm gonna tell daddy bubbleman on you." But then if we ease up, we're not doing our jobs. Like FMB pointed out, we do have lives. Me for instance, i just got moved, and ripped out an old growroom. Oh yeah, and i moved states. Sorry for not doing my job... guess i've beeb kinda busy. But trust me, when i get everything in order and settled back in, you'll get a taste of what we mean by things needing to be and BEING changed.
Thanks for all the kind words of respect from those who posted them. And thanks to Bman and FMB for giving us this place.
I know I'm new but I volunteer to be a sub-mod or some crap. If anyone will have me.
I have a-lot of free time at the moment so... If u want it, all you hafta do it ask.
And the age on bfg is 18+ not 25+ or 21+ like two people suggested itt.Quote:

toalex89 there is/was a kid on here skavi0101 that's 16 so think again about the underage thing. there are a lot more of them on here than you could possibly imagine. as far as age goes, there is no age on maturity so saying 21 and over may cut out a little of the bullshit but there are some older folks on here and other sites that like to act a fool. and by setting a age limit you are only hurting some of the legit members to get rid of a select crowd.
I don't really think the age limit is a good idea. Just said it to get the young'uns to out themselves. Teehee. Peace GS
^^Hahahaha.. Quite' a clever one GS..
