depends by where you see it.
Profiles -> Members++
Trading grounds -> Trade Assistant/Moderators
Other Sections -> Junior Mods.

This is a place where most of us spend a lot of time, behind the keyboard there are persons who likes to discuss and have fun together. As Mod team it's our job to keep this place as better as possible.

I agree with this.
We don't need any kind of drugs on a gaming community.
It would be a lot better without any kind of drugs, and njaguar explained it well:

And the internet is used by... robots, not real people.. Right? :rolleyes:

That argument is incredibly lame and overused. Just because you're hiding behind a computer doesn't mean you're free to do as you please, and it won't affect anyone else.

Voted yes.

ill put my opinion why they shouldnt be talked about

1st- Just because they are legal in some countries, doesnt mean all, therefore i dont think we should talk about them if not "fair" for everybody.
2nd- Like stated above, the majority is under 18, which, by law it doesnt matter what age, but having d2jsp expose them to it, let alone all the people at school makes d2jsp look bad
3rd- if my parents saw a topic about weed, i wouldnt be allowed to use the site, and im 20.... i know alot of people have parents like mine.

+ if its not all ready allowed, why isnt it banned any way

I agree with this post also.

I don't quite see anything wrong with having a drug related signature. This would be very similar to about the 1200 or so people on the site that have women in their signature.

As far as I see, if people respect the community and not make topics related to drug and drug pictures or porn and porn pictures then there is nothing absolutely wrong with it.
People may not like it, but thats the reality of life. If drug related signatures were to be banned... then I would have to say all signatures with women or men half to 3/4 naked would have to be banned aswell

Tbh I would do that anyway (about the possibly suggestive male and female signatures), but I think drugs have a capability to cause physical and mental harm, so there is even more of a call to remove such glamourisation of drugs: people are succeptible to being influenced after they've seen similar content a thousand times

Are you going to ban guns or anything else related to violence as well? This is a ridiculous thread, how anyone is affected by a picture of a marijuana plant is beyond me...

I think it's moreso the unnessessary glamourisation, this is a bloody gaming forum not a pothead forum

The same can be said for countless other things...

Discussion of drugs is already not allowed (topics are closed/trashed). Are you referring to all the drug related signatures and avatars?

I can understand why the discussion of drug use might not be allowed, but discussion all together? May i ask why?

Quote (Luvve @ Apr 20 2010 06:53pm)

+1, I couldn't agree more ^_^

I'd say we don't need drug related stuff here really, since it's a gaming community afterall, & let's keep it on topic

If people still feel like showing pictures of weed & wanna discuss it, why don't they find another forum for it?

Seriously? This is a gaming forum with sections for music, politics, science, religion. Some gamers are religious, so they get a forum. Well some gamers use drugs. Im not saying they should have a forum, but your point is full of holes.

There are drug references in Alice and Wonderland, millions of kids have seen it.
The truth is, drugs are a problem on a personal level. It is YOUR choice to engage with drugs or not, it's also your choice to avoid them.
I personally don't think we need to be regulated on the drug references and such.
There is more drug publicity in my local newspaper than there is on jsp.
It's not worth it in my opinion to take time away from other moderator/mediator duities to deal with something so trivial.

What good is it going to do? If you get so pissy about something like this, then take out all the soft core porn signatures. While you do that, replace all the account names on here that might be deemed inappropriate. After that, take out all the pictures of green flowers, because that just looks like weed.

Do you see where I am going?

Don't get so whiny about something so small.

Im not a drug fan at all but thats like saying get rid of all the half naked girl sigs an avas as well and any that have to deal with alcohol of other imgs you wouldn't want your kids to see i think this would be a good change for jsp to make it more kid friendly but in this day an age most people from ages 14 an up were i live know about all this kind of stuff it would be tough to figure out how to do this in my opinion but i would love to see it

i am also guessing this whole guild would have to change if this happend to lol

Is it illegal to talk about weed though?
Is it illegal to look at a picture of someone drinking or smoking when you are ungeraged?
Is someone on the internet talking about how they do drugs really going to influence you?
If yes to all of the above, we have a problem.
If no, leave it alone.
