I belong to a salt water aquarium forum. This is an example of some types of threads that go on there. I have edited it so if it is a little choppy I am sorry. The person did get one response from Grahm that I edited because I thought it would bore you guys. There is more than multiple moderators and they are now trying to stop the flaming.
This is an example of the type of thread we do not want here.
Bill I will once again commend you. Stop the flaming as soon as it starts so we do not have to try and stop it in the future. I will understand if you delete this because it does appear to be a long post.

Seriously, you should !!
You put up a post and expect a response within less than 15 mins of the same !!
Also, could you please not put your signature in every post ? makes the post annoying, long, and its a waste of server space/bandwith

I would take it up with you in PM's if the board permitted the same. But since they don't, i would not want to waste server space and bandwith arguing over a stupid thing with you.
Articuno
well, that's fine, but since the board permits pics if i knew how to post pics with a scanner I would post pics of the injuries inflicted upon the bullies in my neighborhood when they messed with me. and If you'll look at prev posts you'll know your the 1 who started this.

Hey, how about we all act like 3 year olds and threaten other people over an internet BB!
Please, get a life.
Bo SPSfreak100 Articuno,
Don't want to add any fuel to the fire, but have a bit of patience. It can take a couple hours to get a single reply. You replied almost 15 minutes apart from eachother, and after a couple of hours from starting this thread, you've only got a single reply regarding to the question. Give it a couple of hours, and then check back. Since the administrator has disabled the Private Messages, you might want to take this up via Email Stop the insults, and get to the question asked.

grouperhead, 3 year olds can't even type and its my nature to retaliate, heck, I'm a hotblooded german. sorry
Articuno thanx, graham, I'll admit, I'm just not a patient person when it comes to things like internet and games, ect. but lets just hope i can be more patient with my tank and not be like Badbrad, lol

Really wish I could delete this thread.
Articuno
go ahead, its really not a good thread like I hoped it would be

BangGuy....I can delete here and in this case probably should...but I think I'll take this opportunity to express an opinion.
This is not a chat room!!!!
These boards are set up for exchange of information/experience...lately several new members seem to think they can use these boards as some sort of personal chat room/playground. In my opinion it is becoming a bit of a problem ...most posts are mundane and worthless. Seems some of the current members should simply perform a search prior to posting senseless questions and not use this as a chat room for endless topics with little to no merit.
Sure....fill a 10 gal with a ton of shrooms...whichever ones you want.....and they will possibly survive slightly longer than this childish thread!!!!!
Maybe the above vent was out of line ... but the endless threads with random pointless topics and constant chatter for the sheer pleasure of posting is way out of hand!!! Now I'll climb down off my soap box and close this thread.

Scotts, May I tender an idea towards you(this is not personal, though in the least), I have been around ECN, long enough to realise that it is the temprement?, of the people on a certain Forum, that just goes to show how good or bad it is, this is why ECN has held up over the time, I take my hat off to the Moderators and the Webmaster, to keep things in order, but, thanks to Joe, Bill and Paul, it is very rare when the Webmaster comes in. It's friendly here, let's keep it that way!.

I would respond to this thread, but I don't want to get banned!!!!!!!
Seriously, many thanks to all who work to make ECN happen. Also thanks to those who contribute their years of experience and wisdom, I've learned a lot from you all.
The collective knowledge of the group is still one of the things that amaze me about this internet thing.

I think, what you will find, if people are rude on a certain Forum, others, just don't come back, no-one likes to be insulted or "dressed-down", over a public Forum(which is what ECN is), not a good look, no matter where you come from.
