    Is this forum American only?

    So, I just read a thread about weed. It was closed though because it covered a topic which is illegal by law. Where I'm from, weed is not illegal. So who decides which laws to follow? Is this forum just for Americans? I'm not judging the mods by saying it should not be banned or anything. I'm merely wondering which laws we are following here. Maybe it could be specified in the rules?

    No, it's not just American, but weed is illegal in more countries than not.

    Or a yawing hole in a battered head
    And the scuppers clogged with rotting red
    And there they lay I damn me eyes

    All souls bound just contrarywise, yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!

    Well, the forum doesn't allow us to discuss any illegal activity. How many threads have there been about murders, Paris attacks, , stoning, rape and whatnot. Why is that allowed and weed is not?

    a forum based in United States has to follow United States laws and regulations.

    In germany, weed also is illegal. And i think its ok it is. It only should be legal for medical purposes.

    To be fair some of the mods just lock threads if it disagrees with their sensibilities and that's all I'm going to stay.

    .
    Because people aren't promoting the idea of murder or asking about how to go about it, etc. in the threads you're referring to.

    Stop trying to make a weasely argument. You know damn well why it's against forum rules.

    Okay, then still my argument of all the other illegalities being discussed remains.

    If you have questions or comments about moderation then you need to private message a blue. They don't want discussions about moderations on the forums.

    Marijuana is illegal at the federal level. it doesn't matter if a couple of individual states make it legal.

    You might have a argument if those threads were asking if they should murder, stone, rape, and whatnot someone. The weed thread that was closed was about if the guy should or shouldn't smoke weed.
