It's hard for me to pass any sort of judgement when I know nothing about the situation (beyond what's been written here). But I would trust the combined grace and wisdom of the forum mods to make the correct decisions. :smile:

I would have made more comments in that thread but my knuckles are too bloody......:mrgreen:

I expect "miracle cure guy" will come under more scrutiny as time goes by and eventually prove himself egotistical and useless...:fadein: :idea:

But what do I know....:lol:

I did not at all blame SK for being "****ed off." There are plenty of much more civil ways to ask for information and if the person being quesitoned doesn't want to answer, i don't see it as appropriate to badger them further. it's not hard to drop a subject. Nor is does it cost anything to think before you post. *shrug* i try to avoid the drama.

Hi Aaron,
Please read Christy,s post again. The thread comments only ended up in a temp. ban and that because of repeated posts.

It was other things that followed that led to the longer ban. Why could it not have just been left alone at that point?

We are here to help run the board. Its not the goal of staff to ban members but the rules are there for everyone to read when joining.

It would be good to have all the facts before making judgements such as that.

I believe it was mentioned how.

Now you know thats not true at all. Just keep it civil and within posted guidelines for this and most other aquarium boards.

Thanks

IBTL!! :mrgreen:

This board is a privately owned and opperated and is going to be the way the admin and mod's want it to be.

Love it or leave it, that's just the way it is.

Props to the mods that even posted in this thread with feedback on the whole situation. At other boards the only reply that members would get to a thread like this is "This is between the admin and the member in question and is no one elses concern."

I didn't see the thread in question, but can tell you from the experience I had when I was verbaly attacked by a member with mental issues that bans don't happen very often here. So if there was a ban issued it had to be for a good reason.

Maybe we should all keep in mind that all of the mods and admin are not being paid for what they do here and donate their time to keep this place running.




Cheers.

I think we are all intellegent enough to be able to discuss and disagree on a subject with out resorting to profanity. I was as frustrated as most in regards to the ambiguous nature of the posts, maybe Demon had a reason to be more frustrated and or hostile I don't know but I do know not everyone on this board is an adult, we get kids and young adults asking questions and looking for advice. I think it's important that we as adults keep that in mind when dealing with someone that gets our knickers in a knot.

Doug

I cannot believe I stayed out of this till now.....

....I like smileys

Through "discussion" with Demon666 via PM and his continued posting in the thread

Nothing was said that he couldn't continue to post in the thread.



I know this because i was with him when this happened.

Aaron

I never said he couldn't continue to post in the thread, I merely asked him to be civil. When he ignored me I instituted the ban. He knew the consequences and seemed to think they wouldn't apply to him.

I've had enough of this. Thread closed.
