I made a post earlier today and it was closed right away.I am very pissed off for the way certain administrators were smarta## and did not anwser my question about the company.I can tell you I have nothing to do with the company.I just wanted to make a purchase and wanted the facts.I was badly attacked and do not like it at all!!!!
rude administrators
- Thread starter hippocrazy
- Start date
(Yawn)! Man.....What time is it? 3 in the morning? Who do you suppose is going to monitor the BB?
Look, It is commonly perceived that a person with "hippo" in the alias should be pretty mild tempered and rather reasonable. I don't see what is so rude about it. Get over it man!

BTW, the first rule of UBB, do a search on the company you want to search for and read the latest few threads before you make another similar post. Very often these questions has been brought up over and over, that includes yours about Reefpure!
There are plenty of other company with good reputations, you can always go shop elsewhere.
Good night!

Man, and hear I thought BB were a place to ask questions. If I went by everthing a company told me about a product I would have a bunch of the BEST crap out there! I guess I will have I take my questions else where, so I don't get a nose bleed from the lack of oxygen on here.
Good day,
Ben

Dude, it's pretty obvious why it got closed. Did you read the other 3 posts about reef pure that got closed? If you did then there wouldn't be much of a reason to ask another question about it.
Here's the thread he's talking about http://www.reefs.org/ubb/ultimatebb.php?ubb=get_topic&f=1&t=033664
Talk about "badly attacked"

Talk about "badly attacked"
Considering this is my second day on this board I am going to look at topics that start like that. I am a complete newbie to the salt water hobby, but not new to keep animals I love. I looked at so of the last post and this is what I find:
First rule of fish keeping - Read, Read, Read, Read and then read again. This was no 'Newbe' error.
Sometimes people need to have it told to them how stupid there mistakes are. Think how people would react if everyone went "oh well, these things happen, don't let it get you down, try again tomorrow, never mind about the little fishy"
NOOOOO they need to feel the heat of the torch of correction. NOOOO YOU SHALL NOT LEAD THESE ANIMALS TO THEIR DEATH, THERE ARE LIFE'S AT STAKE HERE!
and you know what I totally agree. I would rather spend $1000 on books before $200 in fish for trial and error. But there is only SO MUCH you can get from a book. I want to talk to as many people as I can and not get flamed. That is why I am on these forums. I have bought over $170 in books and reading them now, but if I ask a question then I need help. I know better than to always believe the LFS, because most people on these boards know more than they ever will.
However, I also read that any post from 2 people are going to be closed. Why? That I do don't understand.
thank you

Your thread wasn't closed. Well it was closed for about 30 seconds because you were clearly starting the thread because you wanted to help us increase our traffic with yet another flameware about reefpure, but since no policies were broken, it was opened right back up. You probably didn't even actually notice if it was or wasn't closed at any point in time and just assumed it would be closed, the reason you started it in the first place.
On the other hand, if you didn't like what I had to say to you, too bad, because I was right, there were 3 threads just below yours about reefpure that were closed because the squabbling owners violated James' policy. Either you saw them, and decided to open a new thread on the same topic for no valuable reason other than to help increase our traffic, or you didn't bother to look.
Anyway, we're not really about the numbers, we're happy with our traffic at the level it's at. We don't need super long threads of people complaining. We're more interested in the quality of the content.
Got any?

It seems you cant read there hippo. James said it 3 times why it was closed.
This thread just makes you look like a little whiner.
If you dont like them, leave. This board is free and everyone should be VERY APPRECIATIVE AT THAT. I know I sure as heck am. NOW YOU NEED TO BE TOO. Get some respect for the people that help to bring us this board or get lost.

Just out of curiousity, are you really leaving, or will you continue to post as Neal358 or fmx2md?

I am new! You can look at my bio and website.
Like I said I am new to salt tanks. And I am going to need help. I know this. If you like go to my website and look, Look when it was set up.
I didn't come on here to be a prick and I know that I didn't read the other 3 post before, but I still don't see why if 2 people post the thread is gone! If you want to help someone then do it.
I'm not going to leave, I am on several other BB and I am just getting tried of people saying that because I am new I should go away. Email if you want to talk about this off the board, but I don't really want to take up space on your board with crap like this.

Thanks guys. Now let's all have a group hug...
I know every once and a while, people need to vent their frustrations, and yesterday seemed like the day to do it...
SO, if you feel the need to criticize us, go right ahead, we can take it. Why don't we just get it over with right now, so we can go on with reefkeeping? Besides, it's a beautiful day out and I'm going to a Mardi Gras parade. I'm bringing my digital camera too...
But keep in mind, this thread will get moved to the "Questions, Comments, and Suggestions" forum, as it's not about reefkeeping anymore.
Cheers
