With reddit slowly chipping away at cannabis subs, are we nearing the end of days of this community as we know it? I think we need some contingency plans just in case the worst happens.

At first I said nothing because I was not a waxpen subscriber
Aaron Swartz is turning in his grave 😕
Calling a moderator "jannie" or "loser" is a site-wide ban warning for harassment and bullying. Doing it 3 times is an IP ban.
Its gotten absolutely ridiculous.
With cannabis being legal in so many places what grounds would they have for shutting the sub down?
look how many ppl openly say they live in bm states...
Bowel movement states?
Black market
Bloody Marry States
Sure but no one is discussing where to buy weed. Vaporizers aren't illegal.
What grounds do you think they need to stop hosting content on their website? It's not like they need a legal claim here, it's their website they don't have to host anything they don't want to.
feels like star wars episode 3
What happened
Is a new sub that I created to post my photos of my dab rig contraption because some nights it has a new glass on it because another can break lol.
I used to own the quartz quest and divine tribe but I have the m22 right now for heating efficiency but I loved the quest for looks.
Still shimming? :)
Yeah have only used 6 clips in past few years of owning it. Stocked up a 16ct? clip box that small container. Incase the company goes belly up for such long wait times.
Damn honestly if true that’s impressive haha, how much use do you put it through?
Everyday probably 20 hits a day

There was only the one moderator, the guy who created the sub. He removed all other moderators due to drama. Reddit banned his account, removing the only active moderator for the sub which causes the site to ban/block it as 'unmoderated' - this is a common cause for places to get shut down, like not removing spam or abusive posts.
The general process is to use r/redditrequest to get admins to put someone back in charge and let it open back up. I see someone has already began the process and we have a new mod here at r/vaporents that is also offering to help facilitate the process. it's in everyones best interests it is opened back up and that information made available again.
I want to clarify this was NOT about CONTENT or community activity, but a weird edge case that shouldnt normally happen - there's usually redundancy in the mod team. you need several people to help run a sub, generally in different timezones or activity periods to ensure everything is handled in a timely manner.
Thanks a lot for the background info, good to know we’re still safe!
I tried reinstating r/volcanovaporizer on r/redditrequest but they denied it because they can't reinstall banned subreddits. I was gonna go for r/darknetmarkets next lol
Didn't this happen a few months ago? He was back in a day or two then. Maybe not this time?
r/Waxpens is still a thing. A lot less traffic but still something.
is it a DTV love fest?
No it’s a m22 shill moderated group. Their whole admin list is people who were banned from Reddit and the subreddit waxpen for shilling m22
Sure doesn't seem that way? Have you actually been to that sub?
Have you not looked at who is the moderators lmao.
It’s nothing but m22 shills who were banned from waxpen for shilling.
Nah this is just the start.

I think Reddit is just taking away subs where transactions/sales happened. Which we don’t do here.
RIP r/frientexchange?
Probably one day. I feel like this is the second sub of its kind but maybe I’m imagining things? Like the first one was shut down? Anyone remember?
Yes, entexchange was shut down. It had over 50000 subs. Frient probably will be shut down also but it's pretty small right now. So there is still some hope. I'm almost at the point of fuck reddit
Reddit has really become repost-it. I swear some subs is just people reposting shit from the week before in an endless loop. Or there is oc which gets copied to another click bait site that someone sees then posts that to Reddit.
I think you're right, I believe it was entexchange!
mhm it got shutdown in the reddit apocalypse. I had one verified trade on the last sub. I think the best thing we can do is create a independent website that allows the sale of second hand vapes. That way nobody can stop us . Like ebay for vapes. Personally I'm struggling to find a Splinter Z, I don't think anybody wants to sell me one. (broke 2) decided on a whole new 510 threaded vape (that is also wooden) So I'm pretty excited for that and it won't have the same shitty businessman behind it (who shutdown his company not too long after coming up with the Splinter Z v2)
I don't even need a Splinter Z, I just need 2x oven glass pieces for them. I'm legitimately considering contracting a local glass company to make me 2 heat proof glass pieces.
Check out the cosmic xtractor. It is basically a splinter z clone built to the same specs. U can get th em as a side by side which is on a 3d printed stand where the mod is on one side and the xtractor is on the other. Or u can just buy the 510 piece by itself. There is actually a subreddit on here for them
I make the glass pieces and do repairs shoot me a PM
Can you imagine if you had just imagined all that
delete this comment if you care about preserving that sub
I care very much about the sub but talking about the future won't cause it. I respectfully decline.
They didn’t allow transactions on r/waxpen either though. I find it a bit concerning.
People were commenting links to vendors without repercussion every time I checked r/waxpen. I feel like that has more to do with it than just being weed related
fuckcombustionDOTcom
How sure are we of this?
A few months back subs started disappearing and people on this sub pretty much concluded that it was just subs where transactions happened. Because this sub and some others were fine.
Gotcha. Let’s hope!
