If a post or topic seems to be a bit out of line, please hit the report button and click away from the topic. In the past members have decided to take it upon themselves to determine if a topic, post or member is trolling. This will often include posting correspondence on the questionable topic or post, which can draw a normally well behaved and valued forum member into a situation that edges on breaking forum rules. The Moderating Team doesn’t like to see this happen.
Another situation that occurs is a less than knowledgeable, and often newer aquarist will join, and post something questionable, which is usually information handed down from someone they know, or a shop that is more concerned about profit than the welfare of animals. These sort of situations will often appear questionable, when it is actually poor information or a lack of information given to the fishkeeper.
The Moderating Team has seen numerous instances of both of these, over many years spent moderating the forum, and is well versed in making a determination on questionable topics or posts. This being the case, please just click the report button on anything questionable, and let the Moderating Team put their experience to work sorting out the issue.
