Leaving the site

[BuddMarsh]

What I have seen on this forum is that it depends how the poster state their problem.

Example. Title: HELP yellow leaves. Body of Post: Help leaves are turning yellow.

Same problem different post. Help needed Yellow leaves. New to growing and the leaves of my XXX strain are turning yellow. From looking thru this site it could be either XXX or YYY, just not sure. Could any one give some advice. My set is (lists complete set-up) . Here are some pics of the plants.

The first post is just lazy and shows the person did not even read how to post a question. I pass over this type of post. The second one, I think most everyone here on the forum will jump right in and try to help.

I think the post about reading GWE stemmed from the first type of post and not the second.

Yup - well said!

Cool guys you guys are the best and I have not received any negativity from anyone here. GWE has helped me get thru 2 harvest and I don't think I could have done it with out GWE so for that thank you guys very much. Either way I'm out I will just read the GWE and find answers on my own there if I ever need it. Like I said the answers are all there.. Hey maybe it's just me who knows either way GROWERS LOVE..

How you do that blue here thing? You don't have to tell me if you don't feel like it. Pretty cool though

[Aloner]

Thanks Jeg for your interest--starting seeds later this week! I have a placeholder of sorts here that also asks for opinions, not that anyone around here has strong opinions on growing topics (yeah, right!).

The OP seems to have left so I guess I'm preaching to the choir but ... for me, this forum is about what you can put in, not just what you can take out.

[CCisme]

Yep, agreed.

[Jeg]

Aloner keep us posted once you get started

[Jeg]

That's what I do

Hey Nuggs, another newbie here. I haven't even started my first grow yet!

A different perspective on responses that only supply a GWE link is: there is a LOT of info on GWE and finding the page with the info you need can be difficult sometimes. Maybe they're just trying to help you help yourself? I don't think you should automatically assume that person is looking down on you. And if they're linking to something you've already read, it's perfectly acceptable to say, "Thanks, I've read that" and then maybe rephrase your question.

In any case, it'd be a shame to leave over something like this.

alltatup I just had to google that. I always thought it was "here,here". Always learning! You so smart

As a new grower I really appreciate the GWE community, especially this forum.
Before posting here I spent close to a month reading the GWE tutorials to establish a basic foundation, then used the forums to refine and question what I learned.

I find this community to be outstanding, and like other forums, there are a core of members who apparently "know" each other and may appear like a "click" but still are very helpful.

At times it may seem a little frustrating if you ask a question and get no or minimal responses, but that is the same with any forum.

@nuggs...don't be too fast to leave....there is a lot to be learned here.....try not to take it personal....just go for the knowledge.

hear, hear.

If you leave or not is your decision. But just to compare. If you think gwe is somewhat "intolerant" you should check the other forums like icmag where people is very rude and offending each other. Maybe this is not exactly what you expected but I'll tell you now. You won't find a better place to learn. To me be referred to a link or be told where the info is is way better than being called a "dumb fuck" and being completely ignored. This place is a jewel it is just taking shape. Nothing is completely decided and will probably continue changing. If you want to leave we all respect that and will take your personal experience into consideration when deciding in the future. But if you want to stay you'll find this is a safe place to express yourself. No one will call you name or offend you. And in this crazy times that's a lot to ask from the internet. Thank you for sharing your concern. We all do care
