Warnings

[The_wolfeman]

I would like to know exactly what an insult is. And what is inciting. And is there a way to challenge a warning or discuss it because I feel I'm being targeted by the mod team. I have never received an explanation as to why I received them. My pm to the mods are always ignored.

The ban is an issue between the Moderation team and the user.

Being a charter doesn't give you access to see infractions/ flagged posts. If wolfeman wants to tell you, that's his business

If you believe this change would be for the better, please post in the suggestions forum. I personally wouldn't mind it, but it'd be something that would more than likely have to be further discussed by the BOD.

Can you elaborate on what you're asking? I'm not sure how to reply because I don't understand your question.

The reason he is banned is between him and the mod team, as stated.

[350gt]

You all banned him for quoting zach with "lol"????


Is that all?

[Andresm]

Does wolfeman understand in detail why he got banned. What he said exactly?

Is that all?

they see it as teasing, or a personal attack. but they have all the power to say what they deem is what, no real set rules just vague ones

[rrasco]

A thread is derailed, off topic posts are moved, a moderator posts a public message stating so and is promptly quoted with 'LOL' which is followed by several more off topic posts and the exact same response from the same individual. What about that is okay? It is incitement and harassment.

[Big_Pun]

y'all got mad over "lol" ?

You guys can spin this any way you like, but the point remains. If a moderator removes posts and says stay on topic, then stay on topic. There is nothing more clear than that. That is not open for interpretation. If you feel like threads have off topic posts, then by all means report the offending post and it will be tended to.

The member was sent a message which stated the rules he broke.

I am trying to figure out why this thread is still open and has not been removed other than starting another argument and for some to vent?

[profntbtr]

meh

[rrasco]

Nobody is preventing people from having fun. When people get offended, posts are reported, insults are thrown, and members/staff are openly mocked/taunted, posts will be moved. Period. If you can't differentiate between the two, then I don't know what to say.

There is a very fine line between keeping the peace and civil unrest. If a post is moved, legitimately (or not in the minds of some), it will give birth to at least two more. That's exactly what happened last night.

[envy]

Its the same people who start up the same thing and can not get past the issue. If they want to know why not PM a MOD or BOD and end it.

Okay, i understand the filter part...... But i didnt say it towards anyone, might want to read again.

[rrasco]

Then I advise you to be particularly careful when saying things that are inappropriate, because it was interpreted as such because you quoted a post and that was your response. I think this is something we can all learn from.

[350gt]

Yes when a guy with 3 post's ask if Im 14 years old.....

I shall never respond, or even think about quoting them.. With a joke followed especially....


Cmon dude... This is just you all with a "thing" for me and reef mafia.... We have to walk a fine line around here cause you all that dont like us are the mods... We know that....

Its all good though.... Dont let that power trip get to your head though..

[rrasco]

Do you think your original comment was appropriate? I don't. That's what started this, so don't point the finger at anybody but yourself. If you didn't have any advice to give, why not just move on?

You always sling insults at me, like your post right now, and I haven't silenced you as you claim we do. We remove posts that are offensive, off topic and when things get out of hand.

[edshas2]

If people on a forum about fish cant get along, i see why the world is the way it is.

[grouch]

This has been interesting another thread with useless posts with bickering and nothing really informative or intelligent subject to discuss concerning the hobby.
Makes me wonder why I even come out to the site anymore.
On another note hey Allan how u doing long time no see.

[allan]

Hey guys, I'm doing good. I'm a civilian now and trying to fit in where my humor is a bit off.

Awhile back we had to get the word *** off the filter because it was really inconvenient to spell glass and have half of it show up in ***. Since that time and before we have warned for language and dodging the filter. We had to do the filter dodging to keep language clean when someone wrote PRlCK, SHlT, or PlSS or even did the p-u-... Well, you get the picture.

Now, this is, at the core, an educational site that a few teachers have brought into the classroom to teach or what ever. We can't allow the language and the innuendo to run rampant.

The argument that our kids hear worse is downright the very finest examples of stupid things I've ever heard.

Here is why, because they may or may not hear it does not give us license to make it even more accessible to young minds. We, as adults, should strive to set a standard for our little people whether they see it or not.

That's pretty much the end of the story. I can't contemplate a world in which we let go of morality on the premise that our young May or may not have already.

If communication is difficult without the use of vulgar or explicit words, I'd have to question your message.

For those of you that know me, I'm not a religious guy, nor am I one of high ethical standards, but I fail to see how a group of adults can come around and hem and haw about the limits placed upon their communicative style while on a forum whose sole purpose is for reefing buds to get around and talk all things coral or fowlr.

I'm climbing off my soap box, donning my flak vest and assuming a defensive stature. Please let this be the one time that we all just nod, grab a brew, and let the conversation get back to coral.

[allan]

I will edit the post here in a few.

I think it was....

Breeding: Toadstool Leather matures sexually when it has attained its full physical growth. The males of Sarcophyton species sexually mature at the age of six to eight years while, the FEMALES mature when they are eight to ten years old. Toadstool Leather also reproduces asexually through stolons, budding and fragmentation. Toadstool Leather breeds easily and rapidly in a marine aquarium. You may mechanically propagate the Toadstool Leather by cutting its cap or crown into two which will yield two corals. For more numbers, you may further slice the cap or crown of the Toadstool Leather and then loosely hook each resulting fragment on to a Live Rock in your marine aquarium. Every sown piece then grows to become an individual Toadstool Leather.

I am reading about leather's asexual reproduction through stolons and budding, but I don't see any reference to what the topic was, which was a hole in a leather. If that's really what you meant, then I apologize fully, and hope you can understand why there was so much confusion and why it is so important to hit that submit button with care.

Realistically, it was your second comment that earned you a warning and I hope you can understand why. Have a good evening.

So put my 1st post back and stop jumping to conclusions based off of your personal feelings towards me..

[rrasco]

You obviously still don't understand.

I said I didn't see any reference to the topic of the thread. On one hand there are male/female leathers. On the other, where does what you cited say that that contributed to a hole in the stalk of the leather? It doesn't.

You keep insinuating I have any type of feelings towards you. I can assure you I don't.
