Dear Patron,

Please take the time to read this announcement, as it attempts to put across the reason that these forums exist, and we hope that your stay here will improve the aura of the forum.

First up, this site does not tolorate the sale or trade of illegal drugs/equipment, so dont waste your time.

We hope that your comments here will be informative / creative / helpful / funny and expand the friendly community atmosphere we have going here. We are an international collection of regular marijuana smokers engaging in stoner discourse. We create and benefit from the huge database that is Weedguru. Here you can find tens of thousands of conversations about weed, getting high, and the stoner lifestyle, written and archived by stoners just like you.

[b]We will not tolerate the following things, and users risk a [color=red]permanent [/color]ban if crossing the line here:[/b]

Racism
Sexism
Abusiveness/Flaming
Extreme Immaturity
Extreme Sarcasm (it doesn’t come through well on a forum!)
Extreme Spamming
Mod Sass ;)

[b][u]FAQ[/u][/b]

[u]Disappearing Topics or Posts (or Seeds :twisted:)[/u]

If your topic or post has disappeared, then chances are that it was either moved to another forum, the "When Topics go Wrong" forum if it degenerates to a pointless discussion, or if some comments are just not on - then it could be deleted. The way you post [i]will[/i] affect your seed account! If you make astoundingly good posts, people may donate to you. Act a fool, and you could go bankrupt!

[u]Posting [/u]

We encourage you to make posts which contribute to our community. Excessive AOL speak, one-word and pointless replies are frowned upon. If what you wish to discuss is not specific to you, chances are your topic is already archived! Try the search function. If you can’t think of anything good to say or are too intoxicated to post coherently, it’s okay not to.
Also, please post in the correct forum.

[u][url=viewtopic.php?t=6541]Bandwidth[/url][/u]

Weedguru has grown since its conception. With more and more people viewing the forums every day, our bandwidth is our most precious commodity. As such, we expect a certain level of maturity and relevance from your posts. We ask that members help us to conserve bandwidth. The number one cause of bandwidth waste is stupid or repeat topics. Please, consider your topic and consider the search function before you hit submit.

Sometimes we run out of bandwidth and nobody can view the site until the first day of the following month. We are looking to purchase more bandwidth in the future, but currently have to deal with these blackouts.

[u]Knowledge[/u]

We are very friendly towards those who are inexperienced in the use of marijuana as a recreational drug. We hope people feel comfortable asking any questions they have on the matter in our [url=viewforum.php?f=5]Guru Council[/url].

Enjoy your stay,
The Weedguru Moderating Team

Private Messages Threshold:>
perhaps it is high time I made an ammendment to the FAQ regarding the pm box...We took steps to introduce the 50 post threshold in order to combat a tidal wave of spamming scum which threatened to kill the forums. Dullards were signing up as members then proceeding to send private messages to as many other members as they could be bothered to type to, just to let them know that 'weedguru has died...we are moving across to http://www.bunchofKunts.com'...
Apologies to all the sincere, well meaning members who have to wait for to read their pms but for now the security measure must stay in place...
