| | Lately there have been a lot of threads and discussions about experimentation with drugs for obviously non-scientific reasons. The admins and moderators, and several concerned users, are taking steps to stop this trend.
First of all, we will be adding a clause to our rules:
"The explicit discussion of drugs in order to promote non-scientific experimentation of drugs, show people how to obtain or create drugs, or providing histories of drug use to show off, will lead to deletion of posts, and we will issue warnings."
Repeated violations, or serious breaches of this rule, WILL lead to banning from our forums.
We welcome drug related discussions as fits naturally when talking about medical treatments, scientific experiments, and effects and costs of drug abuse on society.
Reporting good (or bad) news about the use of drugs in a medical experiment is not against our rules. However, such claims will require strong backup, in the form of links to sources and quotes from papers etc, in order to avoid deletion.
We are sorry if this is seen as censorship. However, it is not the aim of Hypography to become a forum where people come to discuss drug use outside of a scientific realm.
Hypography wants to support the fight against drug abuse. Many of our members are minors and as such we have a responsibility to educate them, not persuade them to try drugs.
Whether some of our members experiment with drugs or not is not something we take a moral stand for or against. This is not a vendetta. However, we discourage posting while under the influence of drugs, particularly if the post is all about how the "trip" feels.
Any questions and comments are welcome in this thread. | | | | | | | Re: Crackdown on drugs at Hypography
Thank goodness!
It's about time.
The degradation of Hypography will hopefully cease soon. Quote: |

| I see this happening quite a bit in the future. 
Anyway, what is going to be done about the threads that currently violate these new rules? Are they going to be shut down? | | | | | | Re: Crackdown on drugs at Hypography

It's interesting that I can totally agree with the action, and it's impetus, and still be a little worried by some of the language in the thread.
"Degradation" comes to mind.
Of course, I don't come to Hypography to hear about someone's trip - but I don't want social science discussions about whether or not tripping is a valid pastime shut down because someone thinks it is.
I totally agree that posts about your trip, or posts "selling" drugs shouldn't be allowed - but it seems like the language of the regulation could allow it to turn into a rule where certain opinions, even if given in a scientific or logical context, could be excluded - as those discussion could be seen as "promot[ing] non-scientific experimentation of drugs"

there are certain things i'd like to get saved to my computer before they are wiped from existance.
a lot of this "degradation" of your website has been important in the shaping of the thinker and artist that i'm becoming every day.
i'd just really appreciate a handful of time beforehand to save some of the more valuable "useless banter and drug glorification".
i like to document things like this for personal reference, but i have little time and energy at this exact moment to do so. | | | | | | Re: Re Caffeine
