Some NEW POLICY IDEAS - your input wanted!

I agree that every post topic should have relevant info as to what is in the post. No more: Hey, Lucky me!!" stuff. They have this rule over in the meetups forums and it seems to work.
I think that the IMO answers shoudld be allowed. An example, I have only a little experience with foxy [5-MeO-DIPT], but with the times I have experimented with this chemical, I think I could still offer a little insight to a person's question. There are those of you out there that have used this stuff dozens of times and know quite a bit more about it than me, but I think somebody should still be able to offer an opinion that wouldn't be considered a "medical doctor's diagnosis."
 
Is there anything that we could possibly integrate to punish people who just respond to replies without any concept of what the original post asked?
i.e. someone asks an oral dose (which is against the rules, but this is an example), you give it to them, and other people bitch at you for giving too high of a dose for snorting.
 
All "punishment" is delt upon a case-by-case basis.. there will always be noob's that do the one-line-of-bullshit replies..
But there *IS* a fix -
First, moderators will be deleting replies as they are found, so, if someone posts a bullshit reply, IT WILL GET DELETED... which takes us to the:
SECOND point - DO NOT FEED THE IDIOTS.. this is a bigger problem.. someone asks "how much I needs to take foo?" then someone else replies "fuck you faggot thats to much" - DO NOT FUCKING GOD DAMN FOR THE LOVE OF BLACK JESUS REPLY! It WILL get deleted when it's spotted, and SO WILL YOUR REPLIES!

Is there any way that an administrator could make it so that no one becomes a bluelighter until they have made 20 posts outside of social? Greenlighters who stick to other drugs are much smarter than bluelighters from social. When the social kids (read: candies) come to our neck of the server with the bluelight tag and moronic information, some people might listen, and that could be dangerous.
------------------
Hey kids! Let's fuck with social! "anyone else sick of 'i hate candykidz'" hehe
 
Personally, i don't think restrictions on "green lighters" is a good thing (and it's not because i am one)... some of the green lighters do have some knowledge of drugs, they just haven't posted 20 times yet. I'm not an expert at drugs, but know what i'm talking about when i talk about it. i also don't bullshit around when i answer posts. I think it should be a case-by-case thing. If a green lighter (or a blue lighter for that matter) bullshits around, something should be done though.

Good idea PhreeX, seems pretty reasonable. I totally agree that Bluelight's IRC server and the search button are not used as much as they should be.

First, i will not smoke a fucking "coolie" WTF IS THAT ANYWAY?
Second, i am harsh because people dont take anything serious, everyone reads the rules and does it anyway, so i dont care if i sound mean, it pisses me off. We DO need to restrict idiots because they have bluelighter status. People listen to them, ive seen it happen a lot, idiots posting doses they can take but noone normal could mostly, and its dangerous.
Real drug information must be provided to people who need it, and with crap going on its near impossible, it gets to me after skipping over so many posts just because theyre worthless. Nothing will really change things but a more serious policy or a system of checks and balances if you will, people should be able to stay a greenlighter longer than the num of posts they write, they should be the candie raver intelligence level,
bluelighters should be pretty advanced and should be able to answer things or at least provide a WORTHWHILE link to something that can help them.
When we actually get proactive and get rid of the bullshit by implementing something that works, we will be able to do what we set out to, provide sometimes life saving information to people.
We never needed a forum for idiots to collect and talk about bullshit, and now we see that the bullshit, along with the idiots, are spilling over in to otherdrugs.
I dont think it will get abolished, but something must be done to restrict idiots, thats the main point.

I just posted this in Announcements and Comments for the Webmaster:
When we get the new board software, I think we should change the Greenlighter / Bluelighter status to cover more titles.
I think we should stay "Greenlighters" until we reach 20 posts, then we become "New Bluelighters". Then after 100 posts we become full "Bluelighters". And also maybe after we reach 1000 posts we can become "Bluelight Addicts" or something similar.
This would help sift through the bullshit posts in forums like Other Drugs, because there's some idiots with 21 posts giving out shit information which someone might believe because of their bluelighter status. It's a lot harder to rack up 100 posts of bullshit than it is 20, and by then people should be able to tell if you know what you're on about.

I was thinking the new policy ideas would be something like this:
When a newbie asks, "what is the best drug?"
DO NOT ANSWER, "ECSTASY" We don't need people to think it's cool to drop x and turn into a bunch of plur'd up lovey fags. The correct answer is "HEROIN". Black tar, china white, golden flake, and mexican brown are all acceptable answers. The only other acceptable answers include crystal meth (only if INJECTED after heroin), Oxycontin 160mg and only 160mg, all other dosages are for PUSSIES!
When someone asks, "how do I get a chick to sleep with me"
DO NOT ANSWER, "show her respect and the time will come." The correct answers are "give her heavy barbituates and alcohol", "drop 6mg rohypnol in her long island ice tea", or "sudden trauma to the head with a blunt object".
Failure to adhere to these policies will result in banishment.
Sorry PhreeX, couldn't resist

Pleonastic, that looks pretty good to me.
One thing I would add to that, is that getting modded for any reason should count against a user's status, so that mods can actually knock someone back down to Greenlighter if they're being an idiot.
 
I think that one should DEFINITLY have their "Greenlighter" tag until AT LEAST 150 posts, maybe more.. still, you can't knock them BECAUSE of their tag...
And as flattering as yer post is Bry, that doesn't give me much to work with

I will hopefully get some of this shit going shortly..

Whoa, hold up there Tex! Since I'm only at 115 posts, that'll knock me back down!
"But I worked soooo harrrd to be a bluelighter!"
Ah, well... no biggie. Just do us a favor and let us know when this kicks in, so we can disappear for a while and avoid the inevitable wave of shit posts, as people try to get back up to bl.
 
i'm not sure if i agree with the policy of greenlight vs. bluelight, and restricted posts yadda yadda yadda... I came to bluelight because i've had pretty extensive experience using both acid and methamphetamines and thought that others might be able to benefit from my knowledge and experience. now i don't claim to be an expert by ANY stretch of the imagination on things like coke, heroin, E, etc., which is why i don't post about them...
that doesn't mean that i'm a moron (though once i couldn't find somehting on erowid and asked nicely for someone to better direct me and got called an idiot or something to that effect... ANYHOW), just because i was (until recently) a greenlighter. I know bluelighters, who if they combined all their brain cells together might have a quarter of a brain between them...
i think judgement and punishment should be restricted to the posts and questions asked, whether they come from greenlighters or not. i'm sure that there are people that are still greenlighters, maybe because they spend the time reading and learning, and not so much time posting in response, but when they do post, it's not something too unintelligent.
just my thoughts...

this is a question that i think should be answered in the Guidlines (if it already is, forgive me, its been a while since i read them)
i see people asking about mixing (whatever) with ecstacy in both Other Drugs and Discussion. which forum would the Mods prefer these types of questions to be in?
 
I've had it with all these 'survey' type threads (favorite drug, least favorite drug, drug you would most like to shove up your ass). These threads aren't really very constructive because everybody is different...I mean, who really gives a shit if pinkfaeriesparklekitten lives for candyflipping. It's really starting to look like Social in here.

Drugs is our social. That's what brings us to this place! We're like toxic rats fresh out the sewer & aliens from another planet.
 
I think that the "NEED QUICK ANSWER NOW" posts should have been banned in the guidelines a long ago. If you have a question and you've checked erowid and the search fucntion and cannot find it, then simpily post "Question on mixing morphine with xanax?" and not, "HELP ME, I THINK I'M GOING TO DIE IF YOU DON'T ANSWER THIS POST WITHIN FIVE SECONDS PHREEX!!"
Just my thoughts on the matter.

I just want to say something about the greenlighter thing and the number of posts determining your status on bluelight... I have been reading bluelight on and off since the begining of 2000 and started out just reading posts that were interesting and learned a lot. I finally decided to register sometime last spring or summer because I started getting into it. I usually keep to myself and have also been in a rehab-type program for the last six months, so i have only accumulated about 30 or so posts, even though i have a pretty vast knowledge about drugs (maybe not when compared to some of the erudite people that frequent this board though). I think that member status should be based on the length of time you have been a member instead of, if not in addition to the number of posts you have accumulated as a member. Maybe we could make new members wait a certain amout of time before they can post or something... i don't know. I just dont want to end up being a greenlighter just because i dont post that much. When i became a member i dont think there was even such thing as a greenlighter =P. Well thats just my 2 cents.
-thanks
 
The "no survey threads" is a good idea, personally, I think we shouldn't allow it - but they are just the most popular threads, so as long as it doesn't get out of hand, I guess they can stay... we will see.. it's definitly the next thing on the shit list though..
Any thoughts?

As long as they do not get out of hand. If more people used a little common sense when posting, some of the more sensitive "old-timers" would not get so upset, but that will never happen in a forum like this. I think a lot of the BS posts that upset people are started by members who do not realize:
a) It's asked every other day
b) That we now have the ability to search
c) If it's the correct forum or not
d) They are posting something they should not be
This is a moderated forum. That's where the moderator discretion comes in. They need to decide if it needs to be locked or not. It's not logical to expect everyone will read the guidelines or for that matter abide by the guidelines. Maybe add some links to the top of the forum with erowid and some of the other sites with great info and letting them know in a nutshell what they can find on that site. I don't think spending time yelling at them solves the problem. They just yell back and then the posts get off topic from the original post that should never have been. If a particular member continues to disregard the guidelines; then that member should be reprimanded.

Look, you wanna compare brain pans? I won the Westinghouse prize when I was 12, big deal. Published at 19, so what. I got a double doctorate from M.I.T. at 22, chemistry and geology. I taught at Princeton for two and a half years. Why do I do this? Because the money's good, the scenery changes, and they let me use explosives, OK?
