Why do OTD people talk about rating rape, i have not once talked about ratings raped. Read my posts you lazy bastards i don't give a fuck about ratings. Supporter accounts being ruled by the OTD, STFU #21, if all the trolls in the OTD left the shroomery it would just be a better place. I know i don't have to go into OTD, but i do Allllll the time.

Comments like that sound awfully presumptuous. How do you know what the site was made for? OTD was one of the original forums, created right along with Mushroom Cultivation. Maybe you don't see the benefits of having an unrestricted forum, but that doesn't mean there aren't any.

Your theory is retarded. We make our money on banner ads; supporter accounts are a drop in the bucket. And after expenses we just save any profits, it's not like we have monthly distributions to shareholders. In fact the only thing you're correct about is that OTDers buy the most supporter accounts. And you can't say that reflects poorly on them.

I guess i just don't see the benefits from the OTD except piss off and scare away any of my friends that i try to join in the community
I thought the shroomery was aboout: We help spread accurate information about magic mushrooms so people can make informed decisions about what they put in their bodies. You can find out the effects of shrooms and read trip reports, learn how to grow mushrooms and get mushroom recipes, browse through the gallery and hang out on our message board, or check out the site map for everything the Shroomery has to offer.
You are invited to contact us with any comments, suggestions or criticism. The Shroomery is constantly under construction and we rely on your input in order to continue to improve it. Most importantly, enjoy the site! We look forward to welcoming you into our community.
Not posting something about my dog and then people calling me a faggot and a nigger

Whoa... did you hear that, Ythan? He's right! I guess it's all over people, time to get rid of the Pub, OTD, Philosophy & Spirituality, Mysticism & the Paranormal, Political Discussion, Money Matters, Music, Art, & Literature, Sports, Physical & Mental Well-being, Gathering & Travel, Science & Technology, the Gaming Grotto, Culinary Arts, Safety & Security, and the very forum on which we speak now, since they don't appear to have anything to do with mushrooms. I came here to talk about mushrooms, not to faggotize over philosophy and money and music and food and shit!

I dislike OTD primarily because it is a haven for excusing malice under the guise of Internet anonymity.
Anytime someone complains about how their ratings got raped, the traditional and cliched defense is to argue that "these are teh Interwebz and general ratings don't mean anything." More to the point, why do you feel it necessary to rate someone poorly in the first place? Do you garner satisfaction from inflicting pain on others?
Sure, you can argue that nothing means anything anyway online. But general ratings do mean something: they are a reflection of people's online reputation. It's a mark of how trustworthy a poster you are, and a mark of how credible the information is that you post. By ratings raping someone, you are in effect slandering their reputation; an action punishable by law offline and just as inexcusable online.
The psychedelic experience opens up people's eyes to the beauty of the natural world and lets them be empathetic towards their fellow man. OTD does nothing but degrade the community just because it can, and reinforces the childish justification that this is OK simply because it's possible to do. Should all children pull the wings off flies just because they can?
I'm fine with OTD's incessant scat pictures, clique-ish posting, and unfunny humor. I'm not fine with OTD carrying out a campaign of slander and libel against other posters for no reason whatsoever.

I determine how trustworthy somebody is based on the content of their posts, not by how many people like or dislike them. I have a 4.5 rating, so would you take me at face value if I told you that you could produce a highly powerful psychedelic by dipping banana peels in a lye solution and then smoking them in a joint?
Think for yourself. Ratings are no measure of credibility.

Of course I wouldn't take you at face value. But this is still retarded logic. If you say something that I don't know if it's true or not (let's say, that 5-HTP crosses the blood brain barrier when 5-HT does not), your general rating will most assuredly affect my likelihood to believe your information until I'm bothered to scour through the information myself in an attempt to verify what you said.
The goal of this website is to stop the spread of misinformation about psychedelic mushrooms and other psychoactives. Ratings are valuable in this way because they provide an easy way to determine the trustworthiness of a poster... or at least they did until OTD selfishly screwed it up for everyone else for nothing but an opportunity to jump on the bandwagon and get satisfaction from putting down someone else.

There's your problem. You're a sheep.

OTD is the most racist pile of shit I've ever seen on the net, and brings this whole forum way down. I wish I could filter OTD from my Active Topics list so I never have to accidentally click on a thread and read some asshole dickhead going on about "niggers" and "faggots". Please just die.
Thank you.

All I see is ad hominem and because you have no further cogent arguments with which to dispute my point.

I was so cogent I only needed one brief sentence to refute each of your points. If you believe what somebody says based on their rating and not on what they're actually saying, you fit the definition of a sheep, a follower of a popularity contest.
If you're so good and respectable and credible then just go and get enough good ratings to dwarf the OTD rape. That's what I did. Whining about it helps nothing.

Okay, if you hide a forum on the main forum index its threads won't show up on the active topics list anymore.
