Anyone else tired of Reef Centrals Corporate Attitude

WOW, they are really starting to SUCK over there. "Debbie2" posts that she has a few anenome's that have split and she gets accused of "possible commercial activity"...

Why do some people insist on using that site for the club? I just don't get it...

Actually the post by Aqu was about the "resaling for profit" comment that was made.

I think Agu still likes cake though
I think your right. Which must be why we are not all banned from there.

 

I find RC to be a good resource and use it for a variety of things. It's someone elses playground so you just have to learn to play by their rules. /site/DesktopModules/NTForums/themes/_default/emoticons/wink.gif

 

Oh, I agree.  RC is a great resource.   My argument isn't that RC itself sucks, but their moderation policy which I feel eats away at it's credibility.
For example, if Joe Corporate comes on to RC and starts posting information about products and deals that he has available, then I think it's well within RC's bounds to say "Hey, you need to be a sponsor to post that".   However, if Joe Average logs on and posts a link to a commercial website and RC delete it because it's not onthe "approved list", then that is censorship.

What kind of cake? Carrot cake in the shape of a clownfish? BTW, I like cake and you can bribe me with cake. /site/DesktopModules/NTForums/themes/_default/emoticons/smile.gif

I completely agree that they are out of hand over there, its a simple matter of people not being mature or educated enough to handle a tiny little bit or power. They act without thinking of its actual effect.
However, I still agree that moderators are a necessary evil, as long as it used effectively to protect the interests of the group and not the individual moderator.
STILL a good analogy!

 

I think this stealing of the cake rhetoric needs to stop. Don't make me retract my previous cake statements. The mud slinging HAS to stop in this cake campaign.

Hey Ryan, are you still bringing cake to the next meeting?

 

The covert cake plans are still in the works...

 

Any of you guys visit MarineDepot's forum? Thats where all the RC experts went to after they left RC.

 

Good forum....top notch guys there...

Had to bump this thread when I saw this over on RC:

Tibbs tibbs tibbs...the cake is never a lie.

 

Thats the main reason i never bothered joining RC...i dont need the high school drama. I dont want to have to be scared of saying something potentially offensive.
