oh yes i remember u lol on the old forum I am glad u got that moss for your cray btw how r they doing?I could not agree more, and to help put this matter to rest I wanted to chime in about my experiences with you. I don't know if you remember this anymore Claudia, but back in Feb. of this year when I joined the board you were one of the first to greet me as well as offer FREE items (like moss for my crayfish which just hatched eggs) and GREAT ADVICE to help me get started.
You offered this to a complete stranger, which says much more than enough about your character. IMOO it's this sincere generosity that took this community to this level in the first place.
I hope that this BAD JUDGEMENT call begets some type of apology at the very least.
The point I was trying to make is that the Mods are supposed to lock down stuff that gets nasty not start it. In my humble opinion.
100% agree with this comment which of course will make the solution to this thread very interesting as it was a mod that started this but unfairly chastising Claudia so do the same mods then have the right to close a thread to stop the discusion on how unfairly Claudia has been treated?
Or, because it was one of the mods that started this, should this thread be allowed to run its natural course without any censorship?
My point is that members are acting like kids, also that before u write stuff u should understand what u are reading cause u can have consequences. The problem also is that just cause i am a woman doent mean i am not gonna stand for myself, i think that the pm was bad the way was worded and i got a second one that i havent post but also didnt like it much. Mods are trying to do a job here and i do undertand but i am not gonna let someone tell me what to do or how to do it specially if i know i am not doing anything wrong.The point I was trying to make is that the Mods are supposed to lock down stuff that gets nasty not start it. In my humble opinion.
As for the noob jibe
No offense taken
A virtual noob. Lol
Agreed the Pm the mod sent claudia had a very mean tone to it....what! how is that allowed to continue..?? If a mod is acting in a certain way that is causing harm to a forum (person/people) shouldnt someone BE LOOKING INTO THIS???
This EMO-Rage doesn't even make sense I don't see how you expected it to accomplish anything.like my name says I SAVE up!
ITS just fish! HAHAHA claudia has 5 FLAT screens TVS in her house so i recomment to be quiet!
WHO doesnt love free stuff my momma is good at her thing
STOP putting her down cuz she already have her own problems
I WOKE UP to my mom talking on the phone about this THIS IS STUPID ITS JUST FISH WHO GIVES A DAM!! my mom doesnt no i signed up for this soo dont blame her for having her 17 year old backing her up
u guys are wayy OLDER than ME soo grow up!!
and i always bug my mom how stupid it is to be on this website (not to be mean)
people here obviously see the beauty on fishes and i dont see that to mee their fish that live for a year ... to mee their just the pets every kid dont care about .. so i hope you see were im coming from
thank u veryy much!
it just keeps coming back to haunt us!Speechless......I thought I left elementary school a long time ago.....
I am just curious to know if this is the moderator that slamed Claudia.. If it is , its an obvious abuse of power ,, sounds pretty childish to.. gees all those on craigs list I wonder if you would'nt mind not hogging all the free stuff... Power to you Claudia.. I personally know that you are the type of person that gives back what you can.
as a member of the forum I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE ABOVE!! It is not because she got free stuff when I wanted it. It is because I think it should be spread around more so that all people get a chance at free stuff.
Since BCAquaria's new inception Claudia you have not posted ONE For Free item in the classifieds. So I'd say its a bit slanted towards you taking more than giving. You are not the only one on a fixed single income on these boards, and thus again, I feel it should be more shared.
As a mod I know the pm was a meant to be a gentle request to take MOST of the free things, rather share...
As a community member I know people feel obligated to give to the first person who PM's and you are right, they could choose not to, but at the cost of what? favouritism accusations? Pm's asking why they have not heard back when so and so pm'd first?
It is divisive of Claudia to post this publicly and as such, there will be people on both sides of the fence...
Claudia, do you want it to continue? I think you are a really neat lady, who while I do not know you very well, I respect as a large contributor to our community & forum, both for your knowledge, spirit, and sense of fun. I do not wish you to feel bashed, picked upon or singled out...
I, meaning just myself speaking here, do want you to be less of a tiger on the free stuff and share it more... No judgement included...
These type of comments are so childish,, "If the free stuff isn't shared equallly then we should ban it"To make it fair to everyone then, perhaps there should be no free stuff allowed in the classifieds. If it's free, there is a minimum charge, which is a donation to BCA. Then everyone wins right and we have a standing donation to BCA.
