It’s honestly sad to see.

Viagra adds, escort services, computer security scammer systems, crypto mining…. How many spam and scams get left alone.
I bet if I posted my wife’s onlyfans link I’d be banned in a second tho.

These forums are one of the last places us reefers can sell legitimately. Market places like facebook, OfferUp… are really cracking down on the sale of live animals. Even if we don’t see corals as the same as a cat or dog. Politician and others that aren’t in this hobby don’t see it through our eyes.
So why not offer a better service?

I get it. I like this forum as it's local and remember when it started after the bans on RC. I wish they would add some more mods so it's just not on one guy to police. I understand the workload many of us have to support family and our hobbies but if the work was shared, we could eradicate inappropriate posts or those violating rules faster.

Happy Easter

I like this forum, especially being a good place to connect with other local reefers, but the lack of privacy and security limit what I'm willing to share here. I'm guessing it comes down to paying for these services and the lack of funding to do so? Mods, what can we do to help secure this site and make this a safe place for locals? Maybe having potential new members fill out a questionnaire before allowing them to join? Kind of like joining certain FB groups? If they can't answer some simple reef related questions, then they can't join.

Can you explain a bit more on lack of privacy and security? I share quite a bit on this forum. I didn’t consider these issues but maybe I should. What features of other sites like R2R or RC is better? I guess there is definitely more mods on other sites that take down unwanted posts or block certain spammers.

I have considered moving my build thread to R2R, and have been posting more on RC as there seems to be a bit of locals there. I even see a build thread there from long time reefers. I posted my build thread here since I like supporting local reef community.
