I was in talking to John today, and he told me he will now be closed on mondays and tuesdays. Said he was going to start to make his trips to L.A. again.

Just FYI...
 
Well after all the work John, his wife, and... wow, how my short-term memory goes... his assistant at the WMC booth worked this weekend I would take AT LEAST two days off! But hey road trips to LA for coral/fish? Cool Deal!
 
His "assistant" is Rob. Rob used to be a very active member of this board until they banned him because they falsely claimed that he was running a business when he was selling frags of his corals to club members. Too bad Rob is gone, because he was one of the most knowledgable members.

Rob can still be found at a couple of the other sites. I know he is on reefs.org and I've seen him on a couple others.

Can't have competition with the corporate sponsors. That would undermine the true mission of this board.

I wasn't involved with his banning, and have no intention in getting involved in it, but I can tell you that no one guessing on this thread has it right so far. Sometimes making assumptions when you only know part of the story can make you appear foolish to those who do.

Cheers
 
if anyone hasn't been to john's place yet what are you waiting for? you could be there right now!~) get off of the computer already!~) at the very least go outside and think of what you would like to get at john's!~) it's such a beautiful day!~)

shawn!~)
 
I happen to think people who volunteer their valuable time and effort so other people can profit from their work appear foolish. I'm baffled why you guys don't get paid for your work moderating this site, since a large portion of the moderation seems to be focused on deleting criticisms or banning competition of sponsors. Does anybody ask questions about where all that money goes?

Matt,

Since you are actively involved in running another, competing BB site, perhaps your criticism might seem a bit, um, biased. You can make slams about what you THINK the agenda is that we have. Our true agenda is quite different - running the best Reefkeeping bulletin board we can.

Quite frankly, since you making these types of comments can certainly appear to be snide remarks from a jealous competitor, why don't you keep it to yourself or post it on your own board.

Typical of someone in law enforcement...do as I say not as I do...
Well if we have it wrong then why don't you inlighten us to the banning instead of keeping it all hush hush like a state secret. :)
 
The accounts of every member on Reef Central, whether active or not, are private.
 
We don't discuss other member's removal with uninvolved parties. Just because you want to know doesn't mean you have any "right" to the information. Sorry.

I guess at this point I should make a comment about "typical student" lack of real-world understanding?

KEvin
 
wombat2, obviously you don't frequent the Vendor Experience forum, where criticism of sponsors is common. It is impossible to be in business and make everyone happy.

Of course, you obviously prefer to invent scenarios that don't exist in order to further your agenda. I think Anemone summarized your objectives quite well.

And I would quickly point out your ignorance if you did. A student doesn't mean I'm 18-20...The problem is that the banned person can't even find out why they were banned, or at least that is how it came out in another site when it happened.
 
Kevin,
I've never attempted to hide who I am and what I represent to the members of this club. I used to have an "RDO Admin" sig line but that got deleted by someone. However, my involvement with RDO is irrelevant in my criticisms of RC and I'm surprised you even brought it up. We're in competition with this site like the Salvation Army is in competition with the Gap. We're a .org, and no one profits from the site.

I would keep these thoughts to myself, but see, the thing is that a lot of people in this club share these thoughts with me. I get to talk to them in person, and people actually tell me they're afraid of speaking up for fear of being banned. Is that the 'best reefkeeping bulletin board' type of atmosphere you want to foster?

Obviously, it "came out" wrong, because the user is quite aware why they were banned.
