Yea, darn newbies! This would be a much better sight if everyone knew what they were doing before we let them start posting! Like these for example ;)

[Reef69]

..Those are all debatable questions, those clownfish had brookynella..(took the time to study what that is, unlike...)..Another post talks about using an eclipse 3 as a fuge, which is not a stupid question, the other one if i need a skimmer on a 25 gal. tank, which i really dont if i do waterchanges..

So..I took the time to STUDY, and researched before i posted anything..wanted to know if anybody had tried it before..

[Ram_Puppy]

LOL

[Reef69]

..Whats a watt? LMFAO!

[NaCl_H2O]

Just making a point ;) Some of us know more than others, we all have questions.

Good thing is, you have prepared him for ReefCentral - I think "Go search for it yourself dumbass" is the most common reply to a post on ReefCentral - such a nice warm friendly site :P

[Ram_Puppy]

even more amazing since the friggin search feature is disabled 99.999999999999999% of the time.

[LoneStar]

It's amazing, people get torn up nicely on RC but I've never had a problem. I think we should send miked over there for some recon work.


I think it depends on which thread and section your in. If your following along a tank build up (which is fun in the large reef forum) most of those guys/gals are fairly nice and won't rip you to shreads. Now if you go into the equipment forum and ask how does a bolt and nut go together, your just asking for it!!! You just have to be aware of whats been posted in the manor it was presented.

Yeah that is a major pain. Do you pay the annual dues?? They say if you pay up, the search feature is more reliable ;) I'm going to pay up one of these days. I'm tired of waking up in the middle of the night to try to search for something lol

[don-n-sa]

Do you pay the annual dues?? They say if you pay up, the search feature is more reliable

I paid mine and the search feature always works

Yep :P

Works for me 100% off the time and yes I pay.

[miked78231]

so pretty much all you guys are saying is that in order for me to get a "polite" response i have to word my post to your likeings? if you dont like the way i write then im going to either get an *** response or no response at all, correct? so what your saying is that this would have been a better post:

Hello fellow MAAT members, how is your day? well to get straight to the point i was just wondering if any of you know of another reef site? if i remember correctly it was somthing like reefman, or reeftime. im unsure though. if some one could help me out real quick that would be great. i know it would probably only take you a sec to reply back with the answer so i thank you.

[::pete::]

Thats better :lol

In all honesty I think it was the amount of questions asked and the simplicity of the answers. All some are trying to say is that the answer is here or right on a site where the "item" in question would be purchased.

For example ... What does the "W" mean in 10K 250W ...

When 20 or more of these get asked it might make someone feel like they are doing your research. We are all here to help .... ;)

[miked78231]

yea well that repsonse ^ up there took me like 3 min to type, when this, "whats the name of that other reef site, its like reeftime.com or reefman or some s-word like that." only took me a sec. heh heh i cant help it if im lazy.

Yea, wait until you get a dose of the warm and fuzzies over on RC. It'll make this place look like Grandma's kitchen on Xmas AM.

[::pete::]

I edited my last post and patience is a big part of reefing ... ;)

[miked78231]

this site isnt even bad, i find it more funny then anything. besides theres only one or two people that give me a hard time, but im not gonna mention any names, REEF69!

[Reef69]

Its not the way the post is phrased, its the amount of laziness behind it. Here is a better example of how the post should have been:

..."Hi, i have been trying to find other reef websites but have not being able to find any, ive searched all morning but for some reason nothing comes up on my searches. if anybody knows of any other reefkeeping websites i would really appreciate it. Thank you all.".....

Dude, seriously, there is an etiquette for everything, and even on websites like MAAST..The fact that by-law #8 isnt .."Members must behave and be polite at all times", at least try or pretend to be curious or not lazy.

I have to agree with Joshua and y'all need to remember RC is world wide with many different age groups and personalities. We are right here in our back yard. It is grandma's kitchen :P

[miked78231]

i dont really have the time to sit down and do research, im always watching this kid whos like a year and a half. for me its just easier to ask the questions instead of sitting down and spending like 15min trying to find it. and "dude", you kinda break rule #8 all the time, Members must behave and be polite at all times

[Reef69]

I kinda break a "rule" that i made and does NOT exist???..LOL...no comment......really...

Anyways, i can't make it easier than this..here (http://www.howstuffworks.com/) ..LOL

[miked78231]

LOL, here i am thinking that MAAT really has a list of rules. yea well whatever. heh heh

[hobogato]

all the time you spend bickering with people could be put to better use- why bother answering to people that like to get a rise out of you? do what you need to do to get what you need. just keep in mind that you always catch more flies with honey that you do with vinegar. ;)

[GaryP]

miked,

Please do not take anything said here personally. Some of the long time users here get a little frustrated when the same questions get asked over and over again instead of doing a search. I know I do as well occasionally. I can think of a few questions I have answered at least 50 times. Your's was a simple question, but sometimes I get asked something that may take 30 min. to answer completely. Do that 50 or so times and you can see how frustrating it can get. Your questions was probably just the spill over of some of that frustration and may not have been directed totally at you.

[::pete::]

Also some people tend to answer short and sweet ...
some what may seem to be not so polite ...
and some long winded, but most if notall the answers are to help!

[cbianco]

Mike

If you don't have time then you are probably in the wrong hobby. You need to understand that it is a must that you do research on your own.

It's sort of like college, you cannot and will not pass a class if you listen to lectures alone. You need to do a bit of research (i.e. read your text) outside of class.

We all want to see you succeed, but if YOU are not willing to help yourself first, then why should WE be willing to help you?

Short and sweet, just like the questions given to us.

The attitude of the question will be reflected in the answer!

[::pete::]

There see ... now that was a nice polite response well written too. Chris also took some time and put effort into that. ;)

[LoneStar]

Hello fellow MAAT members, how is your day? well to get straight to the point i was just wondering if any of you know of another reef site? if i remember correctly it was somthing like reefman, or reeftime. im unsure though. if some one could help me out real quick that would be great. i know it would probably only take you a sec to reply back with the answer so i thank you.


Hello fellow MAAST members. How is your day? Well to get straight to the point, I was just wondering if any of you know of another reef site? If I remember correctly it was something like reefman, or reeftime, but I am not sure. If someone could help me out real quick that would be great. I know it would probably only take a second to reply back with the answer so I thank you.

Sorry I picked on you for this one but I'm at stickler on grammer and spelling on here ;) Plus it help out on your typing skills too.

All in all, that was a great rephrase though!! :)

[GaryP]

Gee, no one told me that was a requirement for membership. :) Personally, I read fluent cyberese.

[LoneStar]

lol

Its not a requirement but its always a nice trait to have. :)

[hobogato]

Plus it help out on your typing skills too.

plus it helps your typing skills too??

sorry, couldn't resist. :P

[miked78231]

i love it!

[LoneStar]

lol oops

The boss man was walking around after break, so I had to do it quick.

[blueboy]

shouldn't there be a comma after plus? and isn't that an incomplete sentence? and doesn't the previous sentence lack punctuation as well? the whole thing is like an oxymoron.

[brewercm]

This is all funny.

Personally I'm tire of seeing the following (a-word, s-word, c-word, f-word, etc.) put in all these threads, just because you are getting around a word screening editor doesn't change the intent.

This is still considered a family site and to me this is no less offensive than spelling the word out. The meaning and intent is still there, and most any kid that is on the site I'm sure knows what it means and if not I can just imagine them turning around and asking his mom "hey mom, what does "f-word" mean".

Let's please clean it up a bit and keep that stuff to the PM's if absolutely needed, and other terms in the english language can't be found to convey your feelings.

Let the flaming begin.

[SBreef]

I agree Cliff!!

[gjuarez]

lol, you guys are too funny.

[alton]

We are just one big happy Family. We pick on each other and the things we say, but in the end we help each other out a bunch.

[Reef69]

LOL, no flaming Cliff, you are absolutely right.

[hobogato]

agree

[Magneto]

I am sure they all meant its a "flaming load of cyano".

[LoneStar]

Yeah something like that ;)

[GaryP]

What the z word are ya'll q word talking about?

[brewercm]

Hey mom what does the Z-Word, and Q-Word mean. :lol

[GaryP]

Mom: those are Zulu swear words.

[captexas]

Well as everyone else has jumped on this thread why shouldn't I?! lol

I have to agree with Cliff on the cursing. Even with the site editing them out to a-word, f-word, etc., it's rather annoying and is a turn-off when browsing through threads. I quit reading through most threads for awhile because of it. Most of us are adults and received an education of some sort so we should be able to carry on a conversation without those words. Lately it's like reading a script from South Park! :wacko

Just my 2 cents. :shades

[miked78231]

lol, so just because you have an edamucation means that you dont "swear", at all? so i i guess i dont have my schooling. i say me som curse words cuz imma unskooled moe ron. lol. i dont care, i can watch my un edamucated langawedge but i always thought me that the hole blockage, like *** and **** was there fur a rezon. som of us un edamucated peoplez only noz how ta talk with r curse wordz. i will have my boss teacha me though.

[Reef69]

imma unskooled moe ron...Must resist.....

..Like i said, mike...there is an etiquette for everything, and keep in mind alot of the MAAST members are older people than you are, so they deserve respect..which makes me wonder..How old are you?

[miked78231]

ill start a new post HA HA HA

[brewercm]

Didn't intend to hurt your feelings or anything. The point is that this is considered a family site and we have younger folks on here from time to time. Using curse words to get your point across has nothing to do with education, just common courtesy to others around you and those that may be viewing this site.

Unfortunately that is not something that is taught in our schools any longer, and in my opinion we shouldn't be relying on the schools for that lesson anyways.

[hobogato]

you mean parents should actually take that responsibility? :wacko

[cbianco]

...common courtesy...

Cliff, this bit of your post really sums it up!

We need to excercise a larger vocabulary when speaking with other people that we do not know. There would be no filters on these forums if we wanted to hear and see curse words.
