MadReefer Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 I started making my own soap and now it is the only thing I trust before and after I put my hand in my tank. To me this is just as aquarium related as a dehumidifier is. Anyway, I would like to offer it to other reefers and I made a post and it's gets deleted. Then I read the rules and realize that I made some mistakes and repost within the rules. This is again deleted and I'm told this is spam. The only reason I posted on this site is so the friends I met on my short stay in Oregon can see and might take advantage. Why is this bad? When I posted on the WMAS site people wished me well and asked questions and that was it. Why is PNWMAS so different?(scratch) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadReefer Posted March 5, 2010 Author Share Posted March 5, 2010 No one has an opinion? Step up moderator and please explain this to me. P.S. I'm so glad I didn't buy membership and get in on the GOC. I don't want to be a member if this is the way people are treated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgf86123 Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 if the mods consider it spam, then they will deal with it appropriately, message the mods, in an adult manner, and ask them why and if it would be possible to repost it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MadReefer Posted March 5, 2010 Author Share Posted March 5, 2010 Since you are such an expert on what should be adult behavior I thought I should ask you if these questions are alright to ask the mods. Why is this spam? How should I tell my friends about the peace of mind that using this soap before and after putting my hands in my reef tank brings me? How should I tell my friends on this board that I started a business that I am proud of? Also, is there a way to ask all the mods? the board? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C0lin Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 I don't think it's a big deal to sell some soap, as long as it wasn't obtained in the "Fight Club" way. It's no different than selling a tank you made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jadams7 Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 Post it again in the classifieds or ask for an explanation from a mod. To me it is no different than making your own rock, frag plugs, or whatever else and selling them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pledosophy Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 And closed. We need to be a bit nicer to each other. Madreefer, I understand your mad (sorry could not resist the pun), I am not the one who deleted your thread but I can tell you why it was deleted. Whom ever did delete the thread should have sent you an explanation via PM, apparently something was missed. I apologize on behalf of the mods for this break down in communication. Since this thread has taken place so publically, it is clear you would like the resolution to be such. In your threads you stated you and your wife had started a business. You can not advertise a business on this site without being a sponsor. It is a pretty black and white rule. Your business has a website, it is running a promotional offer. Since you are now calling your self a business you have to follow the rules set up for businesses who wish to operate on this site. This rule was in place long before your posts, and as moderators we are here to enforce the rules so they are fair to everyone. We can't have you advertising your business without paying the sponsorship fees as it is unfair to the rest of the sponsors. In the last 24 hours I have personally banned three other members for promoting there business without consent. Your kind of a special case. If you would have just made the one post in the Non reef classified section it might have been fine IMO, but choosing to make multuple posts in various forums on the site lead you to the classification of spam. Normally spammers are removed immediatley from this site without warning or cause for explanation, since you are clearly not the typical spammer, and probably unaware IMO that you were violating these rules, this action will not be taken against you. Perhaps there is some flexibility that can be made for your case, but it is something we will need to discuss. I am not sure given the situation how much flexibility we have, it is not soley my decision. Again I apologize for the break down in communication. I hope we can resolve this amicably. I do wish you the best of luck with your endeavor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
