I have been on this site less frequently as the time goes on. Im really tired of all the BS posts. This should be a REEF COMMUNITY that discusses REEF ISSUES not PERSONAL ISSUES. If a few of you want to have it out then make a date with Jerry Springer or have a tear fest with Oprah. I came to this site because I thought Reef Central was heavily moderated and didnt let people talk freely. I guess i got a taste of the freedom and some people took advantage and now I wish the Mods on this site would Moderate as if theyre on Reef Central. Im just saying that I am probably not the only one that is tired of the goings on on this site. If this BS isnt put in check you will get more and more people leaving this site and not returning. So if you guys cant refrain from posting your private personal views on each other then this site will probably go away. LETS KEEP THIS REEF RELATED PLEASE!!!!

We need more mods that are more active on this forum so they can stop things right away. I realized that we have 3 good mods here, however they are not on here all the time. By the time they see the post/listing it was a few days or pages too late.

I asked to be a mod because a few days ago I saw some dude was posting porn w/ nake picture on this site...it was here for a good 24+ hours...and noone takes care of the issue. Well I was turned down because I was a paid sponsor.

But oh well .....I guess next year I am not going to pay to sponsor this site...then I have a shot at being a mod....J/K

Every time you post a report this post button appears at the bottom or your user info the warning sign. It sends a pm to all of the mods so that we can deal with a post if necessary. It is a very helpful tool for us and allows us to not have to go through every thread every day looking for spam and porn.

I am apprehensive in posting as I am sure we know who will post right behind me... BUT...

I would hate to see you go. I would hate to see most everyone go. I do think it says a lot when folks post threads like this, even though it is not reef related....

But, this is an issue that will not go away until the moderators annex the folks that have continually instigated this and other issues repeatedly.. This has been allowed by the moderators since day one. Thier apparent fear to be like 'other sites' has put them into a position of a 'toothless' tiger...

The strategies and tactics of some to take advantage of that along with teh inactions of some regular members 'cause of thier alliance on the specific 'issue' at hand has maligned and turned this site into drama central..

And yes I know my role in this at the beginning. But, i also know and see that I really have no part in this issue at this point. my absence from this site for almost a year clearly shows that this has and will go on without me....

I had hoped that folks would not follow thier 'emotions' on the alleged issues, but rather that this forum should be free and open to all legitimate reef businesses, and to treat each business equally, and therefore treat this issue with some decorum that is 'fair' by itself. i.e. date stamp verification of who starts crap each time...


IF the mods slapped the instigator, people would learn, (quicklly), not to start stuff...

Is that somewhat 'constrictive' and a turn off. possibly. Especially if your motive is to stir crap...

I have tried, since my return to do nothing but reef related info and topics...

I made it a point to not 'interact' with known personalities, as I have learned, (surprise) that not only is the horse dead, but he cant learn either


I unfortunately failed to see the promise to leave by someone who i thought and believed to be an instagator, was a ploy. Something to be used once again to detract from this site...

This failure led me to make mistakes again and interact again.

i apologize again, this time to you personally.


I hope the mods recognize yours, and richards threads to indicative of a majority of members here.

I also hope they see the loss of revenues of the potential 'seahorsedreams' and her claim to want to be a sponsor on this site, and see that not only is this issue costing them loyal members, but also money and revenue...

My only hope is they dont 'reinvent' the rules, or the consequenses. Th main players here have been warned previously, they are reasonably intellegent people who should have known the consequenses of thier actions, and deserve to be removed for the sake of the forum...

But, hopefully they do something, cause obviously doing nothing only demands that these problems continue

Anyways,

I know this was longer then some may want, but not as long as some may expect...

But, like I said above, i apologize to you personally for my role in somehow preventing the self exile of one of the responsible parties.. (although we now know his intent was anything except actually leaving)

The good members should stay and I'm sure we've all had more than enough of this childish bs from the few offenders...hopefully the new rules will be exercised vigorously. Anarchy sounds good on paper but at the end of the day controls & standards of behavior are what keep a community together...those who don't fit the community standards should "move on" or get "moved on"
