I dont care either way but I think the mods should lock the stoned nuggets player thread as well if they locked the colorado one.
Quote from: Smokeeye123 on January 01, 2014, 02:56:45 PMI dont care either way but I think the mods should lock the stoned nuggets player thread as well if they locked the colorado one.They're two distinct topics.One deals with the legalization of drugs, which is specifically against our rules.The other relates to an issue of player conduct. We're a little more flexible with topics that are affecting NBA teams. If you review the thread, the comments in that thread have stayed away from discussion of legalization or their own drug use. Those comments that violated our rules were deleted.
We're not really trying to change minds, or advocating a position. Similarly, we're not ignoring reality. Rather, our rules are about maintaining respect, a "family friendly" atmosphere, and keeping the site consistent with Jeff's vision.
While the "family friendly" label seems questionable with booze threads (so we are really just "Jeff's family" friendly)
It should be called only things that moderators permit. I'm quite annoyed the Colorado achievement thread was locked for things that may be discussed. Quit living in the past seriously. Why can't a group of adults discuss a current event ? Don't be biased or hypocritical. If marijuana can't be discussed then alcohol, Advil any other substance shouldn't be allowed. Can someone explain to me what is so bad about discussing marijuana ? It is big news and deserves to be discussed. It's 2014 people try to keep up.
im kinda surprised the colorado thread was locked, as it is about a specific change in law and society there. i think as long as it stayed on that topic, it could be kept open. if it turned into "well weed should be legal in <insert location here>", then it should be locked due to the legalization of drugs rule here. this is coming from someone who is against legalization of marijuana, and voted that way.

It's just not a subject that is going to be discussed on here, because 1) it's against Jeff's vision of his site; and 2) those threads always devolve into a bunch of weed jokes.
