Examples of Why a Civil Forum is a Good Idea

There are two types of people that make this forum worse and worse everyday. There are the “trolls” and people that have nothing relevant or positive to add the the forum. Than there are those that provoke and keep those “trolls” going. If you feed the trolls they will grow and stay where the food is at. If you straight up ignore them and continue to conversate about the original topic with the people that are benefiting what is being talked about the trolls will become bored and hungry and move on. We should not need a sign at the gates that says “Do not feed the trolls”. This should be assumed because we are better than that. We as a group are what this forum is and becomes. If you let yourself get the best of yourself than things go downhill. Never forget where we all came from. We are all one and the same. You may make your product one way and someone else makes it another way. Some want to do it safe and some do not care how safe there product it. We can direct those people to make a safe product but there is no need to degrade them. If they do not find the answers they are looking for here they will leave and find it somewhere else. If you go back and forth with them you are creating as much junk on this forum as they are. The only thing that will make this forum great is our brains. Even if its not exactly cannabis or chemistry related its just positive energy. At the end of the day thats what we are seeking. Positive energy one way or another, just feeling good about what we do and knowing we are helping one another. I made a post around a year ago stating this place is turning to shit. I am sad to sit here and type this a year later realizing we are not helping each other or ourselves like we did when the forum started. We all need a spoon here or there. Lets not forget there was a time where we all needed that spoon. If it steers someone in the right direction and they make a better product because of it type the few extra words that wastes you no energy and levels them up. That positive energy will be paid forward more than not. This is not a place where anyone should say “I know and you dont but you gotta work for the answer”. This is a place where we see someone asking for help and we say “hey, I see you need help, I have a few things you can do to improve what your doing”. You never know what potential relationship is waiting on the other side of someones screen name. That could be someone that might level you up more than you level them up just by word of mouth. Much love to everyone here and hopefully a year from now this forum is a much greener place. I have nothing but hope and positive vibes for everyone here new, old, rookie or veteran. Its about how you share your knowledge that matters not about how you hide it. You will never be remembered for the knowledge you never told someone.
