The online scraps and people banned is huge on reef boards with not to many lounge restrictions. Its even ruined a few boards. How can people argue the usual freedom of speech line when this happens.
I have never understood why an aquarium board has to have such threads that cause hard feelings. I assume thats why most aquarium boards have strict posting rules in their lounges. If one looks at the lounge threads, there are hundreds of good ones compared to one bad one, so it obvious there is lots to chat about besides flame topics.
Does everyone think we are not savy or offended, just because we are moderators. I have been around so long, it would be hard to post something that I could not handle.
Gary, your thread may have started as an innocent joke, but as you seen, it never stayed that way. Also, most of what I,m posting here, on this thread by Steve, is a general statement and not just regarding your thread alone. {although its the one I closed,
}
The point again is, as always, it leads to this. What we are doing right now. Arguing amongst ourselves on a reefing board. Now thats sad.
