New Rule

If you are too lazy to look up the correct name of the figs in your wish list or aren't willing to spell the name correctly you should not expect anyone to give you cuttings. Especially not free cuttings.

fixed it i wouldnt have joined this forum if i knew i was going to get lectured by members everyone isnt perfect and im smart enough to know u referring to me

Ah, the impatience of youth. This was not aimed specifically at you, although it would be nice if you spent more time on posting quality - not quantity. 
Anyway . . . good luck - stay in school and don't do drugs. 

u said i couldnt spell u basically said i thought i knew every thing i learend probaly more than u in one day than u in a month thats how much searchin i did i know alot so u cant say i told people false info 

jc, you have to be more careful posting your replies, cannot keep track of who you are?
First you typed in as Figs180 than realized you were not jc, removed the post and posted as jc. 

Besides, some respect wouldn't hurt.

are u talking about me being respectful or other members

green fig check ur pm

Post #4 in this thread was originally posted by "Figs180."  That post is now gone, and in its place is a post by "jc_figs" that is a close approximation of the post that disappeared.

That would seem to indicate that they're the same person. 

When I first read this, I thought "Great, here we go again..."

Man-gina you cannot be serious.

Some folks on here post from halfway around the world, and having seen some google translate conversations, it's not a wonder some try to spell phonetically or from memory.

Or at all if they have to hear it from you for being mistaken!

Last place I thought getting a lecture on spelling and grammar would happen, here, a fig forum - sheeeeeeeeeesh!

I get keeping names and pedigrees straight, but your "NEW RULE" is garbage and so is this topic. Seems you want to throw a wrench into someone's chances at getting wishlist cuttings just to be spiteful.

If you saw it was misspelled, and you had it, wouldn't you be inclined to share and enlighten so someone can be both CORRECT AND HAPPY?

NOT IN THE SPIRIT OF THE FORUM, IMO

How about them figs!

Awhile back it was suggested to post wanted fig names in signature with strange characters inserted (or as an image) in order to avoid getting search hits (presumably when searching from google?), or should I say bad search hits.  That's probably where much of it came from.

I agree with Michael. If you have a wish list of 20 figs or so,  you could
spell it like it is known on this forum.

It's that time of year.
Multi accounts wanting hand outs.

I'm sick of this forum any way...


Doug

but if u know what it means theres nothing wrong with it

It appears that jc_figs was being dishonest yesterday when pretending not to be Figs180:

What's up? I believe in "born again" but not so soon.

This person is clearly being dishonest, and I don't put any stock at all in the person's claim of being a kid.  This person comes across as someone who is pretending to be a kid in order to have a better chance of getting free stuff out of people.

Wow. Kyle. Geez. Get a sense of humor. Even if you don't think I'm funny at least allow me to have a voice without needing your approval.

First I'm not important enough to make any rules. This forum belongs to Jon.
Second, how is my making a joke going to prevent anyone from doing anything?
The f4f members are people - not sheep.

Who is Man-gina?

So it is your opinion that members will no longer post because they'll be afraid I'm checking their spelling? 

If you don't like my posts - don't read them. 

How am I preventing anyone from getting anything? Spiteful? Ouch.

I didn't realize you were the judge of what's in the spirit of this forum. 

Hi,
Remember, everyone is free to adopt or not :) .

@jc_figs : never read about rdv, but rdb aka ronde de Bordeaux , Lounge d out no but longue d'aout . "Cole de dame " are all "col de dame" , col as neck in french .
and a mbvs as in Marseilles Black VS.
All col de dame are referred to as long season figs. In Zone7, you'll have a hard time getting fruits from them.
Good luck in your quest.
Did you warn them at home that you were going to invade the whole yard :) ? If not, don't do :) .

I tried my best to warn you members and all I received for my efforts was criticism. read my posts, because Figs 180 started out as jalen 14rs old, name was deleted after Dennis replyed to him as jalen, I mentioned the 14yrs old and that was immediately deleted and  replaced by 18 yrs old and now it is 15 yrs old. Be careful members. jc_figs and Figs 180 are one person. he will ask a question as one member, get an answer, forget who he was when asking, then respond as the other member. See below....

Figs180 only thing I do is shoot for moderate vigor. Not too much water or fertilizer. Under those conditions many varieties set a fig at every node as long as they keep growing.

Pino above is my sunroom. I'm shooting for 90F/32C by day and move to house that drops to 10-15C at night. Greenhouse is now set for chilling of other fruits so that's 5-12C. In summer 32-34C by day and we run 18-20C at night. Greenhouse has 270 days with highs above 20C, mostly 30-34C.

This will be my last try to help members after being criticized for helping, by the way, I feel being called a kid is a compliment.

You know, I would not ask for the address of a minor.  Just asking for trouble IMO.  By my thinking, he will actually get less cuttings if "pretending" to be a kid. 

Not sure but I think Jon can tell if multiple accounts come from the same IP address?

If he is 13, he has a lot of time to work on his keyboarding skills.  Maybe practice using some appropriate capitalization and punctuation.  Or that nice spell check button at the top.  These are valuable skills later in life.

ok well i have a gmail for my emal if you had my email you would see my teacher mrs parker  go to wayne county public schools then pick grantham go to class websites and look for her name and i will name all my teachers coach bradley math teacher bill joyner reading miss mcdaniel social studies stephen elliott

SOMETHING IS WRONG HERE!  I DO NOT KNOW WHAT, BUT IT FAILS THE SMELL TEST.  MAYBE A TROLL, MAYBE AN "OLD FRIEND"  BUT AT BEST IT IS STIRRING UP OUR COMMUNITY.  I DON'T BUY ANYTHING THE NEWBIE HAS SAID AS STRAIGHT, TOO MANY TURNS, TOO CONTENTIOUS, TOO ANXIOUS TO INCITE.

and i dont care i will keep posting wat i have to say even if you dont like it this is america i am free this is two much and its not worth it either all because of a word smh

Doug just PM'ed me and he's had enough and he's deleted his account.

Bummer. Soon I won't know anyone here.
The original friends I made when I joined are gone.
I wonder how much of this is just the forum having a limited life as far as a place to meet new folks and a place to grow one's collection. I still email most of those folks but  . . .

Anyway -- hate to see Doug (SCfigFanatic) leave.

Figs180 was 15. 
Obviously we have another bored luny tune.
jc_figs is 13 - he posted on this thread as Figs180 then quickly changed the name on that reply to jc_figs
I don't know who or what this person is or what they intend to get from all this dishonesty but my reaction is from now on to ignore as many of them as I can.
The editing and deleting game makes trying to pin down the truth too hard.

Hopefully Jon will step in and prune this one as using multiple names is one thing I know he doesn't appreciate.

Hopefully.

he needs to prune you figs 180 is a backup if i keep getting lectured and i appricate the nice people 

It's all relevant. The beauty is, as a donor, you give cuttings to anyone you wish. Some may find a baby bird with an open mouth cute, others find it annoying.
To me, it is obvious your not being truthful, that is all I need. Someone who wants to be here and contribute will heed the advice given.  
 
Another observation, you say your in school, then how is it your posting all day?

i had to go to the dentist for a darn cavity

Here's a note to all new members unfamiliar with the expectations of this forum.  It's quite simple.  Honesty and respect.  That's it.  Respect one another and all will be well.

My life-long motto:  Treat as you want to be treated.  This has worked well for me. 

So jc_figs, whatever your intentions are, simply be honest with everyone.  I'm not accusing that you're trolling, but IF you're being dishonest about your age and multiple accounts, etc, come clean now.  We can reset everything and start from scratch.  Just saying.
