Yes. Agreed.... fishy.

Unfortunately (for the lost member), the mods have absolute power to do as they wish, fair or not.

And they like exercising that power.

It is just a bit Odd, that they ban a member that has more collective posts & responses to his threads than ANY other member on the entire forum.

You would have thought that he was a benefit to the community more than: "or in the opinion of the moderators is a detriment to the site."

The real truth is that he is now a competitor so the mods were just looking for a reason, and these actions will just drive more RC members away.

Oh well

agreed ...i'm beginning to think that the purpose of this site has turned more towards making money than helping the reefing community
 
Better be walking on egg shells dv3 mods don't like you opening thread after thread once its been given the beerguy blessing. Of his post count I think 99% are "closed"

Has anyone determind if he actually has an aquarium?

This site is all about the benjamins, not information anymore. Melev should demand every post of his is deleted and not just thread locked.

thanks ...i didnt really start the thread out to rehash it again...it was pretty open ended to start ...just seems to be a hot topic around here
 
And when exactly was the last time you were over there? Seems a pretty bold statement for someone not even in the club..... I really tried to stay out of the whole Melev got banned situation yes he has done A WHOLE LOT MORE FOR THE REEFING COMMUNITY THAN SOME OF THE MODS ON THIS SITE HAVE OR WILL EVER DO. Did he break the rules appearently so by your standards and you did what you thought was right. But do you really think coming into another clubs forum and trying to say the masc site is only about buying and selling when you obviously dont frequent the site?

Different sites have different education strengths hence why it has been so long site I have evn logged into RC and the reason for that is there are a ton of other and better resources out the including ********* tons fo more informational posts and not a epeen contests between mods.....Just my .02 cents of course

I'm talking about THIS forum on RC, that we host for you free of charge.
 
And i understand that but it seems like the mods seem to spend more time in this forum than any other. And it also seems that if anyone sees anything in any different light other than what the mods do its insta-ban. I understand you guys have a job to do and need to keep things civilized but how many members are gonna quit RC from all over the place before things get changed
 
but how many was it in its prime is what im saying? I think people are just looking for a explanation if they do something wrong not just thread locked your done sort of post. Thats all im saying...

4 years ago that number was 2500.
 
just because its a bigger site today doesn't mean that there is more help here today ...it does mean there is a better opportunity to exploit people though
 
So instead of coming off as brash and a ******* with a comment explaining your decision to close a thread wouldnt it be better to maybe send a pm explaining your decision and then you and the person who had the infraction were on the same page and not just posting a "move on with your life comment"?

If we are mostly all adults then why dont we get spoken to as such? If you explain tyour ruling and they decide not to pay attention to it then take the next step but as you have seen before with comments like " 99% of beerguys posts are closed". Im just saying if you thought about what you were going to type and how it was going to come across there would prob be alot less issues
 
And before you ban me im not here to argue with you im just letting you know how i see it. Wether I agree with your or disagree with your thoughts and feelings they ae exactly that YOUR thoughts and YOUR feelings and you are entitled to them. Just my .02
 
Pretty ironic statement considering that the MASC forum seems to be used only for buying and selling.

Being a part of the MASC forum id have to say this is not true! We have a number of people that post for More then selling! Come on beer guy have you ever been over to our site!?
