No one following guidelines
 

You know what sucks? Clicking through every thread just to see where the sellers are located instead of tagging their city in the thread title. I see the guidelines dont "require" it but....why...

Can we start enforcing this?

Need help enforcing this?

As soon as you click the ad to see what they’re selling , the location is in the upper right hand corner.

All classifieds ads require the following information:
- Location (in the thread title, within the ad, or in the seller’s profile)

sure, but why not have it required in the thread title?

Are you seriously that lazy ?!?!? It’s one click to open up the thread to see the location.

What does it have to do with lazy. It's a quality of life improvement. It's narrow minded replies like this that are keeping this forum on life support. Back in the day this forum was alive and thriving with posts in all areas. Now it's basically a buy/sell page.

The location on the title will solve all the problem of this world

No one is interested in contributing to this site. We invited several 'expert level' members to have their own forum, provide tips and answer questions and all of them declined. We had a POTM contest every month, until not one single picture was submitted, two months in a row. We had a TOTQ contest, until every single tank that won ended up crashing, or being shut down soon after, only to have the contest be labeled as cursed. We had the resignation of several moderators, which piled more work into the remaining ones. We had massive complaints from paying Vendors about members who were constantly selling frags. We changed the buy and sell rules to favour the Vendors, which then ticked off the members. We lost major Vendors as paying sponsors to free media sites like Facebook. We've got members who don't even know how to upload pictures because they have no idea how to navigate BB sites, are use to instant picture uploads to social media sites, and can't be bothered to learn. We've got hundreds of thousands of pictures lost to Photobucket because of their new 'pay to use' bullshit. We were promised a New Canreef platform that was a hybrid of BB, Facebook and other social media sites, that would be easier to contribute to, and instantly share pics, locations, tags etc, only to have its development completely aborted 2 years ago. We had Alberta's oil field employment nose dive, and we lost a ton of contributing members to that. Most newer members think growing and selling coral is going to make them a ton of money, and are in the hobby for profit (haha fools), they are more than welcome to use here, FB Coral Hoarders and other FB pages to sell stuff.

The buy and sell guidelines were discussed at length when they were written, and we are fine with the location being either in the title, in the thread, or the sellers profile.

“Quality of Life improvement ” ?!?? Give your head a shake

Quality of life from a service that is provided for you free of charge...

Nuff said. Let’s move on...

Thanks for the explanation. Seems like wheelman fits right into this description based on his post history. Sad to see where the hobby has gone.

Back to lurker mode.

From the guy, that out of the last 12 posts started, 11 were buy and sell
Hmmmmm.........

Complaining about buy and sell locations
Hmmmmm.........

Yeap sure looks like im trying to run a business off canreef....
11 sales posts posted over 10 years....Did you even take the time to look at that?

Im refering to "We had massive complaints from paying Vendors about members who were constantly selling frags."

Pretty much sums up wheelman? Obviously uses canreef as a "vendor" platform without being a vendor.

I complained about the same thing years ago, and got about the same replys. Though i am in a few local fb groups i still prefer the canreef format. Alberta's contributions have definatly slowed down, myself included. I check in every week or 2 instead of multiple times daily as it feels there are only a handfull of active locals.

If you'd like to help make this a better site, then please feel free to contribute with discussion threads, posting a picture in the Full Tank Shots thread, or creating a Tank Journal of your own. All of it would be most welcome. Members who show a level of contribution are given more favour amongst moderators.

Food for thought
Go and try to find some of the stuff Wheelman and others are offering.
Quality vendor offerings are few and far between in my opinion, or so overpriced as to not be an option for myself.
It's nice to be able to find quality corals close to home at a reasonable price.
And to be honest, how many guys do you think are actually making anything more than funds to plough back into the hobby?

oh man, if you only knew!!... jess is far from a vendor.. he invest whatever he makes back into the hobby, so us locals can have a better selection locally.. not just saying this as he is a good friend.. but i also know what time, dedication and money it takes for this hobby..sounds to me like you just have a trolling problem...

Coquitlam bc
 

I love wheelmans corals except the guy can’t tell yellow from green.

Wheelman has some beauties! I can nvr get out there with my kids daycare pickup schedule :cry:

Just in case anyone is wondering....wheelman is in North Vancouver. That’s where all the high society corals live. The upper echelon of reef keeping.

I hate photo bucket. I just got another warning from them. Someone should upgrade our beloved Canreef to reef2reef format. #WhereisTitus #upgradetime

Oh buddy , you’re just on a roll today lol

He’s making me smile 😊

Vancouver coral enthusiasts put their pants on one leg at a time just like everybody else. Wheelman has great corals and is great for the hobby. Keep up the good work. The hobby has evolved beyond just brick and mortar shops and visiting local enthusiasts has been a boon for the hobby.

Much appreciated

Since this isnt a real FS thread, figured this is as good of a place as any to ask my question. I have Seneye reef that I am planning on offering for rent to local reefers here. (good for PAR measurements) What would be rules around that? I still have to figure out how to go about deposit, so that it doesnt grow a pair of legs and walk away forever, but would be good to at least start looking into this.

Since I am about to start setting up aquarium, I was thinking of even offering it for some frags when time comes, but again, want to see what are the rules and some possible issues I should be aware of.

Would there even be any interest in something like this at all?

Thanks folks

PAR meter for rent, post away.

isnt that what facebook is for?

Wheelman has been a valued and respected member of our local reefing community for years. We are lucky to be able to visit his place and enjoy his beautiful setups. My daughters still consider his frags some of the most beautiful and colourful we seen around here. His posted pics improve my "quality of life" 😉🥰🥰 and I look forward to seeing what he has, even if he doesn't include "North Van" in his thread title😋

Anthony

Btw, this complaint falls under the "First World Problems" category. Location of seller in title, yes nice to have, but am I going to get all riled up over this? Nope. Also trying to pick a fight with our friend Jesse cause you're not getting any love for your pet peeve, tsk tsk. No frags for you Flamer.

Your ban is pending.

Thank you for the kind words Anthony,

I would have agreed with you until recent events that occurred...I’m not so sure he is the one that can’t distinguish between yellow and green any more.

No buddy is asking for your opinion....stand down.

Sounds about right

Let the man speak !!! Lol

Rich I have not seen nobody spelled this way before but it gives the word an all new meaning.

Entertaining thread following along.

Shit. I just ordered yellow. I hope I don't get green.

You guys are having fun, huh? :)

lol whats new
