Is this site 100% safe? I just keep getting tired of worrying when im about to post pics or start a grow journal
Second, i have a cake that has pins on it that are completely white and the cap has brown showing slowly underneath the white. The pins are a week old and the biggest one is the size of my pinky nail, another cake that pinned at the same time & is in the same sgfc has much much bigger fruiting. What is wrong with the little white pins???? Plz help, i will post pics if the 1st question is answered

How could anyone ever pin your Shroomery identity to your real life identity?

IP address...
-------------------- It is without question that the war on drugs is a failure. It has failed to prevent drug abuse. It has failed to keep drugs out of the hands of addicts. It has failed to stop drug overdoses. It has failed to keep drugs away from teenagers. It has failed to stop the violence associated with drug trafficking. It has failed to help drug addicts get treatment. It has failed to prevent the cultivation of marijuana and the making of illicit drugs. It has failed to halt the flow of illegal drugs into the United States.

Just play it smart, don't post pic's of pounds and pounds of dried shrooms. My thinkin is there's much bigger fish in this pond than me (us) TC's are showing stacks of 10 tubs on a weekly basis, I don't worry about posting pics of my 1 tub.
If your cake is pinning in the jar, fruit it! Show pics of your cakes and setup for better help/answers

You can't tag someone's identity to their IP address.
Maybe in TV crime shows you can, but in not in the real world criminal justice system.
For all you know, somebody could come in through your window every night and post pictures of illegal things on internet forums from your computer.
No, the only part if the internet that isn't "safe" is Facebook. Or anywhere else on the internet that you are connected to too many not-so-close real world people.

You said anyone. Not law enforcement or criminal justice system.
Your IP address is attached to everything you do on the interwebs unless you do things to change that. If you're using a standard OS with a standard web browser your identity is attached to every key stroke. This is still all just circumstantial with the law. Unless you post a pic of your face with your illegal activity it's all circumstantial.

Make sure that you are only posting pics of your mushrooms/setup. Don't post pics of yourself with your mushrooms, or your house, or anything else that could connect you with the pic. If you are that paranoid, strip the extra data from your pics. I'm not that paranoid so don't ask me how. As was stated above, I have seen people post pounds of mushies over the year I have been reading this site. I finally lost my paranoia about 6 months ago since I see the same posters daily. Just don't post anything too personal. Keep stuff generic.

If you're growing an edible strain you have nothing to worry about. Mycellium can't be identified till it fruits so keep that in mind. Pictures from a lot of new cameras also geo-tags your pictures. Just sayin!

it's not a kiddie porn site, we're not true criminals. be as you were...
it's a great place to learn and share. admittedly at one stage I freaked out about my connection here also, but it proved groundless. dumb ass paranoia.

way better to show pics here than show people in real life. as long as no one knows you're growing and you don't get stupid and attract cops around your house you'll be good to grow for life!

Nobody ever just wakes up one day and says "You know what? I wanna play with fungus! " ... This hobby is a path unto mycology...not many cultivators become mycologists, but many mycologists start out as cultivators of magic mushrooms...the government knows this...be smart, LEARN the science, and don't be a frikin drug dealing thug about it and you will be fine. The gov NEEDS mycologists badly right now...so they aren't going to ruin anyones party as long as they are useful and not hurting anyone or distributing pounds of boomers..

Thats just not true. Tons of people get sued every day for downloading porn on torrent websites. They can try to use the defense that "it could have been anyone" but unfortunately the court systems have been really slow to understand how the internet works ( probably because judges are ancient and not well informed on how technology works).
Check out this website for proof and stories: http://www.techdirt.com/blog/?tag=copyright+trolls
Just saying that your IP address can be used against you. Even if you are innocent the fact is that the expense and potential damage from litigation criminal or civil is enough to deter a lot of people.
But, with that said I think that law enforcement have better things to do and usually go for physical evidence. They also go for big fish. With that in mind internet activities could be used to bolster a case but not as the only source of evidence.
I speak from experience I am in the business of defending "criminals"

This is how I look at it.
You can post pics and you probably will not have any problems. That means also being careful.
You can use a many techniques to hide your IP and like a post said above you can remove your photo data.
check out this link to hide IP: http://compnetworking.about.com/od/workingwithipaddresses/f/hideipaddress.htm
As long as you are cautious and don't post photos of your face or your house then I think you will be ok.
Like I said before the people on in this community post a lot of photos and I'm sure that the law man is aware of this. But, they do have a lot of other priorities and tend to target traffickers and not hobbyists. Also a lot of people are just growing edibles and not involved in any illegal activity. Just be smart and use common sense.

Double 
This is why we lock bullshit off-topic threads. It's just noobs spouting crap they know nothing about to other noobs.
Stick to mushroom cultivation topics please.
If you're going to break any laws, keep it to yourself. Don't involve others in hiding or helping find ways to hide what you do. That's just common sense. RR
