I've never seen that happen. By now I surely would have noticed this. I've been hanging out here for close to 4 yrs.

The closest thing I've seen to censorship is my cell phone trying to auto-correct what I'm writing. On a computer? Never, they even let my spelling mistakes flow through making me use the edit button when I notice it. I'm sure that the forum rules states that the mods and owner can remove content that breaks the rules, but I really don't believe anyone in the leadership circle is up to nefarious activities.

Certain words bring heat that I don't think is welcomed. Political posts have never been kosher here.
Heat? Mentioning the biggest killer of Americans in the last 2 years, a word that is used EVERYWHERE is somehow not kosher? That is BULLSHIT.

Yes, but there's reasons for that and its not censorship. It's called trying to keep the peace, Spring of 2020 caused a huge commotion here between people who thought different things. Also, the UK banned the spread of misinformation so the leadership team thought it best to not allow any discussion of it in the open forum.

I didn't like it at the time but considering all that I have seen happen since ... it was for the best. The topic caused problems prior to the ban.

So right wing thought control means you pretend it never happened, then when confronted with a specific example, you disassemble. REDICULOUS.

I do not participate in censorship. That is right-wing thought control and I WILL NOT CONTRIBUTE.

This is a forum for weed... not to talk about killers, politics, and other stupid shit. No wonder your posts get censored... damn.
I was commenting on how C O V I D had made some exhaust and air handing items expensive. IT CAME OUT AS THE FLU AND MADE NO FUCKING SENSE. It was not a political position.

I'm not going to be lumped into one side or the other. I'm here to talk about cannabis not politics.

I vote my conscience not a party line. Also, this forum is based in the UK not USA so US politics doesn't really apply. It's a dangerous topic anyway. It's banned at work too in most places.

All Content you submit or upload may be reviewed by staff members. Do not submit any Content that you consider to be private or confidential.

You must also agree to following conditions to become a member:

  1. Links to External Images: Due to the nature of SSL, posting links to images hosted outside THCFarmer is prohibited. To protect your privacy and online security, we block any external image links. Please use our Photo Upload Manager to securely store all your images into THCFarmer database.
  2. Illegal Postings: Postings that are illegal in themselves, such as Child Pornography, drug dealing or other illegal activities, images or information are not allowed. You accept full responsibility for what you post as we cannot be held liable for the activities of others on our sites. Remember, Big Brother is watching everything on the Internet!
  3. Duplicate/Repetitive Postings: Duplicate postings with identical or similar text are not allowed. Click only ONCE on the submit button, and your posting will appear. A new page will load showing your posting. This is your confirmation that it has been posted! Do not resubmit a posting that has been verified! Duplicate postings will be removed.
  4. Flaming/Trolling: Flames are posts intended to insult and provoke. Posters who speak incessantly and/or rabidly on some relatively uninteresting subject or with a patently ridiculous attitude will be banned. Repeated posts directed with hostility at a particular person or group of people or their beliefs will be cause for banning. Any individual who chronically trolls, who regularly posts arguments, flames or personal attacks for no other purpose than to annoy someone or disrupt a discussion will be banned. Trolls are recognizable by the fact that they have no real interest in learning about the topic at hand - they simply want to utter flame bait.
  5. Obscene/Pornographic/Violent postings: Unless these contribute something useful to the discussions, they will be deleted.
  6. Off Topic Postings: Often people post remarks that have nothing to do with the subject of the forum. These will be moved or deleted at the discretion of the moderator.
  7. Threads or posts pertaining to the buying/selling/trading/swapping/testing/giving of seeds, clones, pollen, cannabis, hash, or any other substance or article is not permitted in open forum by members and will be deleted. Threads or posts pertaining to the 'recreational use' of narcotic substances is not permitted in open forum by members and will be deleted. Threads or posts soliciting any of the aforementioned shall be deleted and the posting member will be banned from the site. Wish lists of varieties placed in posts, threads, or the members signature line area will be deleted by admin as doing so is deemed an attempt to circumvent site policy regarding solicitations.
  8. Spamming: Those who come here and post numerous links to other commercial websites, forums, chatrooms or communities, without actually contributing any content to this website will be banned without notice. It's fine to post an occasional interesting link to another website, in the context of a thread's subject, but to only do that, or to do it repeatedly, is not allowed. If you have your own website, you cannot put the URL in your profile or display it in your signature, for to do so would be advertising and there are approval avenues to follow regarding advertising on thcfarmer. Any unauthorized advertisements to any web sites will be deleted and if a member persists in posting un-authourized advertising (Spam)... then that member will be banned.
  9. Banning: People who violate these forum guidelines repeatedly are subject to banning. Once someone has been banned from the site, we do not allow complaints about it. Once banned, we are done with that individual and no amount of complaining from other members will help. We don't need to justify our bans. This only causes more work for the moderators, which is usually the reason for the person being banned in the first place. So those who complain about a banishment, are subject to being banned themselves.
  10. Status: As long as you respect our rules you will be a welcome member of this website. Those who have chosen to join our community and support what we stand for will be accorded the rights of full membership. Members who abuse their status may see it changed back to Guest as a warning that their behavior is unnacceptable. Further abuse will lead to banning.
  11. The posting of personal conversations and e-mails (or part's there-of) in open forums sent to you on this site or any other is strictly frowned upon/not considered good etiquette and will lead to the offending member being banished from this site. Posting of members' personal info is strictly forbidden and will result in immediate banning. Any personal conversation sent by one member to another through the Conversations system, both of which are not public and shared between a private system between members (not in open forum).
  12. Threads or posts pertaining to religious or political discussions meant to incite or flame others will be closed and/or deleted. THCFarmer is an international site attracting members from a multitude of religious and political backgrounds, so in favor of harmony and unity, rather than division, it is best to stay on the topic of this site... cannabis. There is a forum for law/politics as it pertains to cannabis.
  13. No private sales are allowed, nor Begging for freebies related to our products or services. Any breeder that receives such request via Conversations is obligated to inform THCFarmer staff. This type of breach of the TOU's will result in their account being banned.
These terms may be changed at any time without notice.
