Club-zoa is just that, a club. No different that any other reef club out there. We have have some nice avatars and also run an independent club website, no different than any of the other clubs around, boston reefers, mahatten reefers, etc.... they all get to have thier own club avatars even though they run independent website forums outside of RC. Club-zoa is 100% non-commercial. I pay all the hosting out of my own pocket and do all the website work myself. I do this so that us zoanthid nuts have a place to talk a little more freely. It's a site run for hobbiests by hobbiests, it's not giant money making machine that RC is... Oh yeah, and we don't charge you money to use our search feature either

You guys will have to help me fix mine, they said I couldn't have it anymore like it was, so I had to delete it.
I guess I can't say SWAM Rules anymore or anything about MACNA... but I'm not sure. Aren't they sponsors of this site? Because I also piost at Saltwaterfish.com and stuff like that. Are we only supposed to post on one site versus the others? I'm not sure I get it, because it didn't say the website, just noted I was a member, so that means I can't say the SWAM, MACNA, etc... right? Stinks because I had just gotten above 400 posts, and was going to go sign up for the whole Premium member thing. Now I am not sure I am welcome here because I also post elsewhere?  Laurie

If you read this I guess it comes down to a at the whim decision whether something is commercial.....I guess it was somebodies opinion of what Club-zoa.com is. The rule states that it don't have to be based on fact of commercial but what the people in "charge" deems commercial whether or not that it is in fact commercial. Also if you go back through this thread there is no mention of what Club-zoa really is. Only Coral-nuts telling some one to PM somebody.....So see as how nobody posted anything about it either one of two things happened. 1. Somebody felt slighted and complained about it. 2. Somebody googled the name and found what it was....which to me if you have to go looking for something then it isn't necessarily in violation. I'm sure there are many post and posters that if you dig deep enough there might be a hint of violation. The question then remains what is the line that one crosses. The rule with in the agreement is truly arbitrary to those that deem to use it whether it is in fact appropriate or not. I have changed my avatar as requested, but that does not mean that I agree with the decision in part or in whole. I like the fact that also at somebodies choice a group of people all across the country came together in their fanatism about zoanthids found away to identify with each other and the hammer comes down.....I truly expect that all avatars that have Club references to be removed as ours have. If not then the user agreement will then be in violation also as the agreement cuts both ways. It is not just an agreement for us whom use the site but, also those the deem themselves in charge to also abide by that said agreement. One club cannot be in violation while others are not with whom also do the same thing. Now that I have said my piece... I will let it rest and be what it be... James

Ok, I am confused because I replied and asked about it, and they said I couldn't say SWAM (Salt Water Addicts of Maine) either because it is a message board... but it's a part of Reef Central itself???
I also feel a bit threatened because it also said if I reposted their PM in any way or didn't remove my avatar immediately after reading the PM I would have my posting rights removed? I don't like being indirectly threatened. Maybe that's the real reason I am starting to feel like I don't need to be here. Laurie

I also feel sad that RC have decided to be so heavy handed over this???
Are they going to warn/ban EVERY member who posts a link or reference to a business that isn't a sponsor of this site??? Might not be many members left after a week???? Cheers Shelton. |
