It looks like Lemonhoko's small forum has been hit with a dos attack. I wonder who would do that?

They also don't seem to know much about public relations, salesmanship, or ethical boundaries.

That seems like a valid concern Chicka. Keep in mind though that even if you do have access to the site, deleting your content does not actually remove it from the server. It just hides it from view, it's still there available to Josh and Jameson.

With the underhanded actions they have taken already, it does not seem out of the realm of possibility that they might misuse info they can find on their server, old posts, PM's etc. These guys cannot be trusted.

That post originally read:
""The level of BS coming from me "revealing" anyones identity is heavy. The guy made a negligent mistake, now i'm airing out the stench that followed."

As many witnesses to the original post have said, it was not blurred. It was a clear picture of Lemonhoko's underage daughter that he was posting apparently in retaliation for Lemonhoko's criticism of Cannacoin. Something Lemonhoko was actually originally interested in, I believe he had previously even mentioned the possibility of selling seeds for Cannacoin at some point.

The picture was not blurred out until the next day after a significant backlash from all corners of our community. He seemed to think there was nothing wrong with finding "public info" in the form of a picture of a member's daughter found on a social media site and using it as ammo? This guy has no scruples.

Actually the site has not been down, but it has become a ghost town overnight. They have found a creative way to lock out select members. Ones that have voiced opposition to Cannacoin. They know that it would look bad to ban everyone who has been critical of their actions regarding Cannacoin. Especially ones like me (and many others) who have broken no rules. I actually tried to stop Peezor when he was making his big blunder posting Lemonhoko's daughters picture. Many good members have been locked out of their accounts in this way without an actual "ban".

Karmacommunity, I'm sure you are getting "vBulletin Message - The server is too busy at the moment. Please try again later.", and or at times "Error 404! File Not Found!". So it looks to you like the site is down, or as I assumed at first that the site may be under dos attack. It is not under attack, and it has not been down. You have been selectively locked out. It is not an IP ban. Delete your cookies, or use a different browser and you will find that the site is functioning perfectly. That is until you log in, at which time you will again receive the timeout condition. This is only happening to members who have been critical of Cannacoin.

They are doing this because they know mass banning for no justifiable reason, and no breach of site rules will make them look bad (worse than they do already). What they don't realize is this is just another way of shooting themselves in the foot. Something they have been getting really proficient at lately, lol

If they had listened to me and made Cannacoin an opt in option where you had to go to the Cannacoin website to sign up for a "Wallet" with the option of attaching it to your NWGT account they might have had a better chance of success? But then that wouldn't have given them the instant Cannacoin userbase they wanted to promote Cannacoin. There is no Cannacoin userbase at NWGT, nor will there ever be. There is no coming back from this.

Don't believe the "Currently active users" list. It is inaccurate and padded. Look at the actual post activity, it has dropped to a pittance. Jameson has even come out of the woodwork to answer a few beginners questions about bugs and nutrients, something he hasn't done since the early days of NWGT.

NWGT is a sinking ship, keep bailing guys you're going down. lol, talk about Karma
It's really sad that your greedy actions and aggressive modding have ruined a once great medical marijuana community.
We will all be finding a new home shortly. Good day sirs.

I participated in said thread and was amazed at what Peezor / Cannacoin was doing. The picture was in fact not blurred. I told him he was making a big mistake, he then proceeded to attempt to justify his actions.

"The level of BS coming from me "revealing" anyones identity is heavy. The guy made a negligent mistake, now i'm airing out the stench that followed."

That was his response to me questioning the wisdom of posting the pic of a forum members underage daughter.

Peezor / Cannacoin continued to attempt to justify his actions until the backlash became so severe that he issued his insincere(imo) apology.

"Lem,

This post is directly for you and no one else however, I feel it should be public. I apologize for the actions I took that led to revealing more information about your daughter to members of NWGT. I was in no way shape or form attempting to bring out the information and it was simply a negligent mistake(on both our parts) which was pointed out publicly. At the time of her comments here on the site I wasn't aware that no one knew about your daughter within our community, and I wasn't aware that you were not aware of her link in your signature(for all I know you were just being a proud dad). I hope you understand that when I'm being shown/told this information and I'm not told that it's not public knowledge that It may be confusing to myself as to what I should or shouldn't know(as well as other). You have brought here on tinychat, tag her account on IG, and she had an account here the last thing I am thinking is "Lem doesn't wan't anyone to know his daughter".

Taking to your instagram to try and prove my point isn't really the most mature thing to do but in my position being attacked from all angles I only felt I was what was right to prove that your comments that I revealed her identity were false. In hindsight I realize this is non-productive and realistically immature. I sincerely hope you can accept this apology as I truly was not aware and I did not mean for this to affect you or your families safety. I also hope this has taught everyone a few things about the importance of posting information on social media as I know I've learned quite a bit from this situation myself.

Josh"

Today, apparently upset that his apology was not accepted he posted this:

"My public apology was seen by Lem im 100% as he's followed up yet he still hasn't address me via private message or accept my apology and move on. He has also not apologized for his use of such hateful and derogatory words on NWGT against the homosexual community. I don't care how angry or pissed off you are, that type of language or lashing out is NOT ok and others have been removed in the past for the same reason. If i'm willing to extend the olive branch (as I have with my apology and PMs) and he refuses himself to participate in reconciliation for his patients and his membership here at NWGT then there's not much I can do to help the guy, he's still a loaded gun and we won't have that here.

End of discussion, thanks for your concern but this topic isn't open for public debate or comments by unrelated parties. Thread closed."

Now he is claiming that the picture he posted was blurred? That is just not true.

These guys heavy handed handling of all of this has turned NWGT into a virtual ghost town overnight. They have banned, and locked out dissenting voices. In the process they have alienated 90% of the remaining users.

Do not be misled, there is no Cannacoin userbase there.
