I agree. There should be some kind of action taken if members are continually complaining about corals brought from a particular member. Lying and decieving or not telling the whoe truth about the frag is not right.
From other posts that I have read about the last auction, it sounds like Matt is trying to make necessary changes.
He said
"However, if I receive multiple complaints regarding the same person(s) who has brought said frags, the ORCA Board will take action against the offending member. This practice will not be tolerated. This club relies on the frag auction as a huge source of enjoyment and entertainment for its members. Lying and misleading club members will not be tolerated."
Again quoting Matt..."It's "your" fellow hobbyists and peers that bring these frags to auction and there are those who have no conscience regarding spreading their problems to fellow hobbyists."
I do believe that Matt is trying to do the right thing for the club and its members. Give him some time to make this right. He can't fix it overnight.
One other thought...the board does an a lot of work to make the meetings happen and to make them fun for all the members. They aren't miracle workers. I think we need to give them credit for everything that they are doing to make this club the best that it can be. Compared to some clubs, I think they are doing pretty darn good. The board is working for all its members, give them a chance to try to fix this.
