I always notice a couple common themes when new users complain about trolls. Like major arrogance telling a whole board full of people to Fuck off. Or spreading bad info with total confidence and name calling when someone calls them out on it. A bit of humility and good manners will go far here. Make every grower mistake possible and show your fried plants but be humble and people will try to help. Sure there may be a few jokes tossed out but hell, you came to a site full of pot smokers, it should be expected. RIU tends to give back what you put out so its usually your choice when you call down its wrath.
