Had enough of RC. figured i would check this forum out.

My wife made an account for herself with our household email. They accused me of having two accounts. Which still isn't violating any terms. And is actually needed to have a name change. They actually snooped through my facebook and email accounts. When I kept asking mods what was going on they would make a smart *** answer and close the thread so I couldn't respond.

Actually shortly after I joined here I got banned. RC mods must have a tough life and feel the need to bully the forums over petty bs.

I really don't hate anything. Having been of Aquarium forums since the 80's. What I have seen over time is an increasing about of attacking of people over the years. The whole you are not following current thinking group view is always the current mode on RC.

 

[joshuajoshua]

I asked several times for the rules that show we were violating any kind of their websites terms. I read everything I could find about the rules and found nothing that we were violating. And not one mod felt compelled to at least say, " hey we think something fishy is going on, please explain."

The mods are driving people from that site.

Great thread, Someone should link it to a thread on RC. +1 one on this is a much better site.

Actually seen a post where someone got banned for linking another site.

I'm still trying to figure out the acan ban lol - was it that you had referred to an acan (insert lady of the night term here) ?? I think RC has a wealth of information and some good people. I have just experienced what some have in that that the mods can be quite aggressive at times and people sometimes take the "our way or highway" approach belittling some newbies in the hobby which always bothers me.

Acan _________. Two word phrase here people, Acan was not the term they got mad about. Shall we play hangman? lol

 

[joshuajoshua]

It rhymes with acan door.

Welcome to r2r. You will love it here. Reef castro banned me for calling them reef castro lol.

 

[VelasCorals]

I feel left out because I haven't been banned. Maybe they will see this and do me the favor. Lol

RC has always felt very Merchant forced. What I mean by that is, when I get a google link to something that I am asking about, it never seems like there is an open and fair discussion. If there is a bad word about a vendor or piece of popular equipment, then there are 20 people that come out saying the same thing about how that vendor is awesome or equipment is the best ever. It weirds me out.

 

[saltyphish]

Agreed definitely one of the better forums! Friendly people and usually fast responses. First site I am seriously considering becoming a paid member.

I got temp-banned there once.. I only wander over there if I'm really uber super bored..

 

[nawilson89]

I read that thread at work. Then saw this one! Knew it was you. Welcome to R2R!

 

[fishroomlady]

Ah...now I get it!

me too! I just kept thinking the ban was somehow related to the term acan and couldn't figure it out

 

[Chameleon]

I googled "Acan means Lady of the Night" and nowhere did I find a relation to the two.

Yes, I know that an Escort is another word for "Lady of the Night"

But I have never heard Acan being used to describe that.

does 'Acan Boar' help you out...think a little inside the box and you will get it.

We also have zoa boars, clam boars, and stick boars as well.

While we are talking about RC, Are we allowed to post a link to a forum post from RC? As I have stated, I don't like RC But this post is by a guy that lives in Australia and goes out into the shallows and takes pictures of coral and fish in the wild. It is amazing.

But I don't want to break any rules by posting another forums post.

 

[Fieryfrog]

Anyone?
