thread review - canreef staff please read

[Zoaelite]

Thanks for posting, my sentiments exactly IMO there is WAY to much sensorship on this forum. Why on earth would a perfectly good post be pulled for review? This isn't the government, canreef should be MUCH more transparent when it comes to issues like this. It feels like every day posts are being closed/ removed and the reason for doing so is always EXTREAMLY vague. I would be down for paying an "Elite" member charge, this way the vendor amount could be lowered giving a little more power to members of this site. This might be out of bounds but why does the forum Admin Titus never participate in these discussions, is it not his board and would it not make sence to have his input on it?

Levi, as stated to you many times, if you are not happy with this board, please go elsewhere. You have no idea what we deal with in the background, and trust me, we don't just roll dice and decide to close threads based on the outcome of said dice.
Everything we do has a reason, and if it's not clear to you, I don't care. We provide this resource to people like you as a free service. If you're not happy with our free service, go somewhere else. No, really.

Brad, I never said that you roll the dice for anything I fully understand that the things you do have reasons behind them and that sometimes its not for the public to hear. Sometimes though, a little accountability would not hurt, you just said that "You have no idea what we deal with in the background". Well why can't we? Would it not be so hard to say "Well the post was closed because it conflicted with someones religion" instead of leaving us all on the edje. Let me make something very clear to you though, I absolutly love the people on this forum the only thing that I'm erked with is the response I get from people like you. I post a general inquiry not insulting anyone and you come out with fists flying, did I insult you personally? If so please PM me and I would be more than glad to work it out with you.

the post was removed because it conflicted with someones religion. Mine.

You know, with your subtleness, yes you did insult me personally. You don't come out and say exactly what you wanted to say, but instead thinly veiled it. Its the underlying tone that certainly makes me wonder why I continue here.

*sigh*

Christie how can you read tone on a forum, I am a VERY light hearted person and I'm telling you right now flat out that the post was not meant to insult you or any of the mods that make this service possible for me. Its just a little frustrating at times to not know whats going on, thats all .

You mean you couldn't tell that thread was stirring up a hornets nest? We're talking courts and lawyers, not just someone getting their panties in a twist

The LE one was ? I personally thought it was a very interesting discussion, unfortuantly I didn't get to read all of the posts before it was removed. If that was the case then good on the mods to close it, I'm sure a lawsuit could cause some problems.

well you know how it is, when one person complains that we're not transparent and obviously we have our own agenda and hide whats REALLY going on from the members of a FREE forum that is provided by a PRIVATE individual, its really hard not to get pi$$ed off about the whole thing. Its people like yourself that in your "lightheartedness" really cause the most damage. Personally I think its interesting that in one breath you're accusing us of having said agenda and in the next its all sunshine and happiness.

I don't have a problem with people who are bothered that the mods aren't more open etc. We have our reasons for what we do. Perhaps you should try being a moderator some time and see just what kind of BS goes on. I mean 95% of the time its really fun but that 5% of the time really makes me want to just quit altogether.

I have been an Admin on a few smaller forums, nothing as large as Canreef but from what I had to deal with in those I can sumise that those 5% really don't make it that fun for you (and if you want to place me in that group then I'm truly really sorry and I will try and quell my posts). What secret agenda are you talking about though, I would think that your agenda is towards oporating the forum for its general good. I know that the only thing you get out of forum is the knowledge and enjoyment of discussing the hobby with fellow reefers, thats what I'm here for also. For the record though, I would absolutly love to mod here.

Yes, you insult me, and the rest of the team, personally. You can't know because I don't feel like explaining it to you. That simple. Because anytime I try, you and your censorship groupies argue about it. Every single time.
You did not post a general inquiry, you posted an attack onthe board's policies. The free board you love so much.
We run it, we run it th eway we feel it runs best, and out of the thousands of members, it 4 or 5 of you that constantly complain. Oh, its not fair. too bad. Like I said. go somewhere else.
Oh, and remove the 41 frags crap from your sig, for the last time.
