Default The New Rules

I'm confused.

A good friend tried to post his table saw for fellow DIY'ers (let's face it, anyone that knows Kari, knows he's building reef stuff in his garage )

I seem to remember a lot of table saw threads from Steve

So stray cat threads and car audio are okay ?


My favorite movie ?

What am I missing?

you're missing the fact that stray cat and car audio are in the lounge. You're missing that the lounge also hosted the favorite movie thread, which was a light hearted attempt at expanding the conversation between friends just a bit.
You're missing the fact that the buy/sell/trade forum is for reef related items only, and that a saw is not a reef related item, even though I tried to stretch that as best I could.
You're also missing the fact that Steve was posting ABOUT his saw, not SELLING his saw. I'm sure Kari builds all kinds of cool reef stuff, but that doesn't make it OK to sell it in the aquarium forum.

Am I missing anything? I surely can't see any new rule here.....

Nope.

That pretty much covers it I guess.

hmm not to stir anything up but a question, is not the tools used in making our equipment for our tanks reef related?

I don't know the answer to that question.

What about a hammer? A drill press? A router? A screw driver? You use these to DIY things as well. But is Canreef really the place to be selling these things? Really? Not everyone is into DIY, it's only a percentage of the people in the hobby.

I'm sorry, I thought the line was a little blurry here. If I'm wrong ... well .. then maybe I need to convinced as such first.

Steve, can you suggest where to draw the line? I listen to my stereo while watching my reef....related? I used the snow tires on my van to get food for my fish during the snow day....related? I use my picnic table to store dead coral skeletons....related? I can relate anything in my house to my reef in some form or fashion....
We have to set boundaries on this stuff, or it becomes a giant online garage sale, not a reef board. I think we need to define aquarium related as items directly required/desired to maintain fish in aquariums. A saw doesn't fall under that category.

What would be the harm in allowing anybody who wants to post about whatever he or she wants?

This was tried in Russia recently and it seemed to work better than their old system. North Korea is thinking about it.

There are sites where you can post for sale whatever you want. Take a look at bargainfinder.com / buysell.com.

Respectfully, this board has a slightly specialized focus.

on the subject of buying and selling things, does anyone know what happened to aquabay.ca?

The harm is suddenly a board that Titus pays for out of his pocket to host the discussion of a specialized topic becomes a free for all, with no control whatsoever.
In reference to your Russia stab, are you telling me that these countries have no rules, laws, boundaries and guidelines? Because if you are, I think you're mistaken.
