Classified Rules.
http://www.bcaquaria.com/forum/freshwater-livestock-25/*****read-before-posting-here******-2805/
Seems to be alot of rules being broken lately, either people have not read the rules or they are choosing to ignore them.
Remember this is a family orientated site with members from all walks of life.
There has also been alot of useless chatter on members ads. If a member is selling something for what seems to be a high price so be it. Ultimately it is up to the seller to list what price they want to sell said item for. If you think the price is too high but would like to purchase the item them pm the member and discuss it privately. If you think the price is high and have no intention on wanting said item then keep the comments to yourself.
Don't post on members ads unless your interested. Some members subscribe to their ads and when they get a notification of a new response they tend to think that someone might be interested and I can imagine it gets quite annoying when they go to check it out and it is nothing but useless chatter.
Also remember that your only allowed 2 active ads at a time. Why start up 4 ads for equipment when you can group all the items in one ad. Just helps to keep the boards cleaner. Getting to the point where members will no longer be warned or asked to combine them. If you find your ads closed you know why.
Please abide by the simple rules we have put in place, we are a very lenient bunch here compared to other sites but it gets tiring of having to warn people all the time. Been awhile since I myself have handed out any infractions and don't like having too, but if things continue then will be forced too.
One of the biggest complaints that I think we have been seeing around here is that the site isn't as friendly as it used to be. I believe this is due partly to the fact that the site is growing and that just happens. Another part I think is that some members are jumping down peoples throats when they see them doing something wrong. BCaquaria started this site to help fellow fish nuts with the hobby and for newbies to learn. What some members need to realize is that at one time they were a noob and knew nothing so keep that in mind when newbies are posting and trying to learn. Generally most members are pretty helpful here but there seems to be a few that think they know everything about the hobby and treat people who don't know much like idiots. I have been to sites where there are lots of members who do such things and therefore I don't even go to them.
In closing be civil, treat others as you would want to be treated yourself. Don't break the rules and if you haven't read them please do so.
Cheers
