I think we should step back a bit

[justinl]

Ill say that i think that this particular board is the best one around. well managed and well looked after. i doubt very much that new members want to join into canreef to be harassed without some kind of guardian angel over them.

if we wanted a board without mods, then NR is just a click away. I do frequent NR, because i dont mind it too much, but if it were up to me, I would keep canreef just the way it is now.

as fishoholic pointed out, sometimes we just spew garbage, if we dont think. ...or even if we DO think and just decide to do it anyways. Im guilty of it. Im sure most of us are, and Im not terribly proud of it. I think dealing with disagreements in a civilised manner (PM or otherwise) is not a gut wrenchingly difficult thing to do and if we aren't capable of it... well, like i said, NR is a great place to vent.

I mod another fish board & for those who've never done it, let me tell you that it is generally a thankless job because it is impossible to please everyone. If you mod & edit someone's post, they'll often get mad at you & cry "Censorship!" However, if you don't, then you'll have other members mad at you for not doing your job & keeping the board clean or not enforcing the rules.

I personally think the mods at Canreef have been doing a very good job & should be commended for their willingness to volunteer their time. Mods become mods not for the "power" as some people seem to think, but it's because they love this hobby & have a passion for it & for their "home" board.

Any time I've had a disagreement or other concern, the mods here have been more than willing to discuss the situation. So thank you all for being willing to step up & help this community with your valuable service.

Personally, my pet peeve is people who think that the internet's anonymousness can allow them to become cyber-bullies & write offensive things that they would never dream of saying to the member in person. The mods here have been very good at stopping that sort of behaviour.

Keep up the good work.
