percy will be punished for this

So do I!
Whatever it is, it’s time for us all to come together in agreement! xx

Well put, the average ratings from verified purchases are more informative than the reviews which often read more like love letters rather than criticism.

Could it be the weed was that good they fall in love with the vendor? xD

serious problem in this game :)

Sounds about right lol.

In no order RB, TGT, ULC and Smoggyman all been consistently top sellers for me over the months but it all comes down to what strains and type of grows are best for you, helps if you know what you want.

You're mad if you think all these topics and pics on here are from shills though, weed doesn't need pushing because people already want to buy it that is literally the only reason to be on this site :) The only seller(s) who need shills are the ones that get banned and come back under new names.

Gotta say I agree 100% I can't imagine there is anyone on here that would need to do it unless they got banned and tried to come back lol.

Vendor wise I think you've nailed it other than missing DIUK. They have had some of the best stuff I've smoked in years on here recently.

I've only had one order with DIUK but it was a banging bit. Some of their "wow" stuff lately has looked amazing. Will have to get in on some of it soon!

The wow mac 10 and ice cream cake are hands down the nest stuff I've had from LB. I've had a lot of strains from DIUK but the recent Wow range they have got in with their new grower is just next level compared to the rest.

I've given up on the reviews. They are pretty much useless as most people rate before they have even tried it which is a massive pet peeve for me. I now have an edibles guy and a vape guy and a backup seller. It just seems like this site has a bit of a dark vibe to it atm there seems to be a lot of people complaining about orders being wrong or lost and bad communication. I will also leave a review on the sellers page with a bit of detail about the product so people can know a bit more about the product instead of just reading lots of 10/10 but I haven't tried it yet reviews

Yeah man I dont get the whole review before you receive thing, i mean how on earth can you leave something helpful for others if you aint even tried it yet.
I always try to mention qualiry, stealth and how heloful vendors have been etc, its only fair.

It drives me nuts. Can you think of anywhere else you would leave a review before trying. You don't walk past a restaurant, look at the menu in the window and then post how its great but your not going to eat there until next week

The rating/review system works out as a very vague guide on LB. You should be able to work out who will actually get you something in a reasonable time frame. And perhaps if their stealth is adequate.

As to the quality and detail of the products themselves, the reviews aren't particularly useful. Time for an analogy...

Let's say you're really into your music. The finest thing in your world might be a rare, crackly first edition vinyl of a virtually unknown band, released in the early 1970's. Are the pops and crackles in the audio a good thing? Is this better then music released last year? Does this even make sense to someone who only listens to opera... or jungle... or K-pop?

Most people are only in-tune with what the mass market presents. If you know better, those opinions are largely irrelevant.

Its the relative ratings that matter. It's a very good bet that if 2 items have 50 ratings and one has a higher rating that it's better, especially if the price is similar.

Why we need rankings to see this at a glance.

I must've been lucky or selected the right people??

I do agree would be good to see product / seller rating split.

i like the blurb but not walls of text, im usually too baked to read it all.

Only had 5 strains so far and a hash. all were top notch.

i would say A******* give or take a star LOL

It could all be resolved if reviewers took a minute and a sentence or two to explain their ratings. Just putting a number is of no real help and rating because you’ve received it but yet to try is mind numbing...

my few reviews are done while smoking and 20 mins sat on my ass staring at screen ;)

Lol. I notice on Leafly a lot of reviews are written when totally baked and are very entertaining! (Particularly the ones that start with “Weeeeeeeeeee!!!”)

I'm glad I'm not the only one hahaha

Me too

seem the wall algorithms definitely prefer photos as well

It's a rough metric for me. I don't tell other people how to review and don't expect the same in return. Personally, with respect, I don't really worry about what people believe. If people want to go into detail and be more explanatory, that's up to them. The metric serves well as a trust device, not a wine taster's palate guide, at least for me.

I agree but the shills mainly come from vendors who review there own products get banned eventually then reappear under new names

nobody needs to push weed. people be lining up to buy it right now with how things are.

I appreciate all the reviews here; few have let me down. We need more buyer feedback not more criticism of it. Feel free to lead by example.

People oft moan about the rating system. but it's pretty obvious it's end purpose. The rating is for the overall sale; not just the weed itself. People are able to judge it however nicely or harshly they like with a review to help others below the item.

Out of curiosity who are you referring to? Anyone specific or just people who do reviews with photos in general?

I'm one of those people . Lol am I considered a shill? I'll praise the ass off a product if I like it, pictures included!

I much prefer outdoor organically grown herb. So it's "better" than puffed up hydro grown from my point of view. Others may describe my preferred herb as "no bag appeal/too loose/not dense/not stinky" etc

Therefore reviews are subjective as opinions are involved.

Hence a more complex score rating system would achieve nothing other than confusion.

imho ofc ;)

big up

I'm probably just being thick but what does shills mean?

Refers to someone who is a mate or benefits somehow from giving good reviews.

As a footnote if anyone wants to give me free green I’ll give 10/10 all day long lmao

Ahhh ok that makes sense. Thanks for that mate :)

I put up quite a few reviews but I can honestly say I have no affiliations with any vendors and I just enjoy writing reviews when I've had an amazing smoke. I don't review every one I get because that would take too much time haha.

Can you please rank the sellers?

Do you want rankings in terms of comms and service or bud quality or price? It would honestly vary depending on what you were ranking them for :)

Thank you Mhokurtz each or any criterion you can rank would benefit.

Hmmm ok off the top of my head so apologies of I've missed anyone.

Price id have to say BB, RB and DIUK are always very good for prices and often have a range from budget up to premium to cater for all pockets

Comms and service I've got to say ULC, UK Dank Direct and Super hans are always spot on for comms and they all tend to get back to you very quickly with a nice personal touch.

Bud quality id have to give shoutouts to RB, ULC and DIUK as all 3 of them have always sent me buds that have been good sizes and great smokes.

There are a lot of vendors I haven't tried and I'm sure there are some absolute great ones I've yet to use so don't take my word as gospel and always remember to keep an open mind and use your own best judgement.

My best advice will always be if you are unsure of anything then message the vendor first. Nearly all issues on here can be resolved by talking....we are all stoners at the end of the day and none of us want to deal with the aggro cos that just ruins a great high lol .

haha me too!

Could it have been Reading '94? There was a metal/rap crossover thing going on back then. I used to like messing with people on the street by cranking it up in the car stereo. "What was that? Sounds like that rapping tripe but also that head banging nonsense? I say..."

Probably looked like a right dick but hey, youth and all that...

Sorry, never saw this! I must be wrong as I only went to Reading in 92, mainly to see Public Enemy and Nirvana. Never really considered it a "festival", more of a 3 day gig. Must have been Glasto then as I went every year it was on from '85 to '96 when I decided it was no longer a fabulous freak show that they were trying to shut down every year and instead had become an "event" on the social calendar for the middle classes desperately pretending to be bohemians for a weekend and bookable only by credit card. Used to be that the police weren't even allowed on site and they buzzed us with helicopters! Changed days indeed.

Next week on "old man shouts at clouds" listen whilst old punks decry the death of "real music" and call for the death penalty for producers and artists who use auto-tune in every single feckin' one of their 'music as painting-by-number' songs...

wow now i really want a time machine. its funny their stuff sounds like it could be 2000s mash up or even today's post-rap punk revival

Ha! There was lots of stuff like this around in the early/mid nineties and beyond. Tons of great tunes in all sorts of genres fusing, boppin' and giving your noggin' a floggin'. Here's a couple more for you but there are so so many to choose from. Nothin' new under the sun children ;-)

thank you levi an overlooked gem

Hi Leviathan

Actually I forgot to mention the elephants in the room (can they both fit? ;-) ) RATM and Red Hot Chilli Peppers!

There even is a wikipedia entry about Rap-Rock:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rap_rock

But then again there is a wikipedia entry about EVERYTHING in the Universe.

Cheers

loved senser, mummys in the back room breaking up rocks daddys in wandsworth sittin inna box

Hi Ghetto Bikes

That album really was a product of its times which is why it's such a 90s throwback.

Rap-rock was definitely enough of a thing to get named as such in Guitar Player magazine back then.

The Judgement Night oundtrack was mentionned on LB lately but one of my fave was the Dutch band Urban Dance Squad. Also Rollins Band Weight is a classic as well as ICe T's Bodycount plus a few obscure one like this one:

bigg up

thanks there is just way too much of this. when someone takes the time to take photos and write a review it's fantastic, especially if they show some balls and compare with other items.

ads are just gross and if there is any promise to this community surely a corrupt path into making this an advertising site is not the way.

Very well said

I have a problem with this statement because it’s particularly ambiguous in that typical Borg/Bot way.

What does “post on your behalf” mean? Do you mean product reviews?
( - despite the fact these can obviously be negative as well as positive?)

Most Biggas have benefited from the odd freebie included with their order that vendors want feedback on- you really want to shut that down?

Many Biggas have participated in competitions and reviewed their winnings- you really want to shut that down?

These things fire up the Community- you really want to shut that down?

If these points are wide of the mark I apologise but then do us the decency of stopping the daft robo-talk, and really talk to us….😘

one thing is super clear: the sellers protesting this have tons of worthless posts. the green team fills the wall with 1 line ass kisses from their buyers like every hour. i cant believe the algo allows this.

the wall is degrading enough to its readers when its just sycophants cuddling up but when the posters are charmless its just shite.

Good points there imo, especially the last one👍

The interesting thing for me is that if the topics wall is such a momentous pain in the arse, so full of abuse, trolls, corruption and sin why doesn’t LB just switch it off? What difference would it make? Is any Bigga going to say “oh no, no topics anymore! -that’s it I will buy my illegal drugs elsewhere!” 😳😂….the items wall, the reviews, private messaging and the Borgs would get 100% of the business done. And your point that only a fraction of Biggas connect with the topics wall anyway is very true I’m sure.

But, for better or worse, Biggy wants to be a Community and I think it is. Not a perfect one because this is the internet. But I know from my experiences just how much I have learnt on here (a truly vast amount!), the friends made, the laughs had. Yes I’ve had daft trolls, been doxxed and had rather unpleasant threats but hey, it’s the internet!😂

I think it’s a great community and I don’t understand why people get so angry about it. I really don’t 🤷‍♂️…

Long Live LB 🥳😘

Funny, these days I've been heading straight to the topics wall. I kinda like the engagement. Especially music wise. Sad thing is not one of my friends is a vaper of weed. I do it on my own so chatting shit while high on here can he fun and as close to a sesh in real life as I get now. My only ither vaping pal is in another country and didnt even vape last time we hung out. The lack of social interaction while high hurts.

Hehe…talk stoner bollocks to us anytime amigo! 😍😂

word

Were you born unhappy?

jeez, not unhappy enough to make a personal jab like this polly. i thought you were a sweet dog

You just sound sooooo unhappy!

why are all borgs only capable of communicating via the use of weird cryptic limericks?

it's like they don't realise they are talking to heavily sedated stoners lol

😂👍😂👍

Few guys in a garage somewhere 😂

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Well said my friend. In what regards do they class “advantage”

I get that venders can create alt accounts and review their own product but most bigga’s can see right though that by clicking on the profile and looking at that. Product released 2 days ago. Reviewed one day ago. Joined January 2023 and the gear is fire 🔥

Where is the line in regards to established users and venders ?

In every part of consumerism the retailer is always looking for an advantage. That’s the nature of the beast. Club card points, buy one get one free.

Food critics for restaurants

Mystery shoppers

99% of venders posts are surly to give the “retailer” an advantage to boost sales. Like advertising 🤷‍♂️

Brands get celebs, sports persons but more in line with LB chiefs to endorse the product.

I’ve always said that I don’t review products that I have not purchased due to the fact that it would make me feel uncomfortable if I had to write a bad review. Now sweetens that they have added in my opinion is fair game. They are not obliged to send it. I’ve not asked for it. Do I appreciate it of course I do. We all do. So if I was to comment or review said sweetener. Like polly said is that a breach of the rules.

Again comps especially interactive ones. I’ve seen comps pulled because the vendor was unaware of what is or is not classed as an advantage

Like us all.

Just talk to the community

I think that common sense should prevail.

Speechless mate, common sense all the way! So I was taken off the wall and topics board a few weeks ago because of my competition and customers supporting me? Wow! 🧐

Exactly

As always Polly knows the score completely! 😎❤️

The Jedi

Polly got this 💯

are giveaways allowed, if we use random number genereator and time stamp?

We though we had it figured out but we are banned again, trying to see where we are goinng wrong,...

Quem somos sem o muromaravilha ?

entry into a fair contest is valid ;}

asking users to post on your behalf on a regular basis or making specific arrangements with any bigga to promote is not valid.

Understood :)

Is this why I was put in LB jail for a week? Only because some of my customers posted regarding my page? Wow 🧐☹️

maybe because sellers with 10x your customer base have 1/10th of the testimonials, this is just how an algorithm looks at things.

You sure it’s you genetics of TGT?

Not throwing shade as couldn’t care less tbh, but they do a loyalty scheme that incentivises you to review.

Like an app and you get gems lol

Not for me, but has resulted in a fuck tonne of post reviews. Many lacking substance and similar to the usual 1 out of 10 / 10/10s we give 😂

didn’t know you got sin binned or anything, but if I just read post Then TGT falls into that category the most.

Again, no hate or anything meant TGT as love your bud lol just who I would think and comes under the Borg like post 😂

Anyway, Apex posts for biggas only to help get user descriptions and help you make an informed purchase in these tight times ❤️

We have now corrected our bonus scheme, users only have to save their order numbers.

Hey GeneticsHub :-) Can you tell us more about LB jail as we found out 2 days ago our page is restricted and we have no idea why - we didnt incentivising anyone / anything - confused! Any help will be much appreciated!

Will DM you once I get home my friend ❤️

:-) thank you!

What a massively ambiguous post. Presumably posted to be deliberately ambiguous? Is this why so many of my reviews (almost all paid for by me) disappear from the wall? Removed by AI after a few posts? Seems regular recently, and makes me less bothered about posting reviews that aren't visible within hours of posting.

Rux the wall the Borg's talking about is the items for sale wall and removing vendors from that

The Borg post is specifically aimed at vendors not at users

What yours experiencing with your posts disappearing is standard topics randomness it happens to me and Polly and Daz and


Some posts stick and gain traction others disappear into the ether

Anyhow, tldr don't take it personally and I don't think that's what this post is addressing 🙌❤️

If you like them then you should check out Caravan Palace because they are awesome too.

Oui!

Thats a great track. Still in my playlist now tbh. And the video is quite clever in its own right.

love it thanks, great day starter

My photos always look shit

technology these days! haha

lol wat the

btc is legitimized by people and their committed time and capital. the ecb is legitimized by a heavily armed gang that claims power over people at birth.

both sides have advantages but no i wouldnt worry about it.

i would. i DO. but hey, maybe we'll wise up as a species and stop pretending these dudes don't want to control literally every aspect of human going's on and work tirelessly behind the scenes to make that dystopian dream of theirs a reality.

I admire the hope that they will let us use btc freely xD

Got to admire the sheer audacity.

‘Crypto is almost never used for legal transactions […since we instructed your bank to prevent you using it…] ‘

‘cannot be used productively (like commodities) or provide social benefits (like gold).’

They’re barely pretending any more.

oh my god, he's even faker than bojo. sure, along side cash, i believe him. (if only there were a way to sound sarcastic via the written word)

thank you, much useful. i am in the wrong century and don't know the modern language.

violence and pilgrimage are the only true paths remaining. pilgrimage is more sustainable.

true this

Hopefully mines on Solana so can just turn off the network

Human cattle do need tagged abd controlled. look at some of us. roll on AI world control

GTA has to be one of the best games to play when your smashed without a doubt, I could just drive my car round for days when I'm stoned haha

Easy win for GTA. Although nba2k is overated

aha

Yeah done that and got totally lost for hours.

RDR2 is the greatest piece of art thus far created

I have an aversion to "wild west" themes but I bet I'd love this as a game if I could get past it. Might give it a try if it comes up extra cheap and see if I can bare the cowboyary lol

These sorts of big single player games have been getting a lot more popular this gen, I hope the trend continues. Ghost of tsushima looks good, obvs Witcher3 for me but Horizon Zero Dawn is another that's just so, so impressive although I couldn't get into it at first.

Single player was beautifully made, it's a shame that online didn't hit as hard as it could've, I never played online for long.

Great game

Ghost of tsukushima, god of war and spiderman, ( all Sony excusive,) witcher 3 qnd rdr2,the only game I want to keep on this gen

Good shout on spiderman PS4 and god of war
