Seems unfair to do that without proof. Hopefully some people that have bought from you can vouch for you.

See the following, hopefully you can get it sorted out.

• Selling in this forum is restricted for members only who are selling from their personal tanks.
• If you are a Vendor/Sponsor and want to sell livestock, you are required to post in the Vendor Forum. If you are a vendor and not a sponsor, I recommend you consider becoming a sponsor.
• If you are not a vendor and have made a purchase with the intent to resell here - it is considered vendoring and you are required to post in the Vendor Forum.
• Group buys going bad are not to be exploited by way of the For Sale Forum. If a group buy has gone bad and there is a list of participants who backed out that the moderators can see and validate, then posting here in the For Sale Forum is acceptable. Group buys from other sites do not belong in this forum.

It's politics, some people get away with a lot of stuff on here and others don't. It is what it is. I don't know your particular story but it happens a lot.

I watch [non vendor] members get praised for their breeding livestock on their threads. Meanwhile they are selling, or planning to sell out of there homes and their so called show off threads are just free marketing AD's.

I watch a lot of our "Collectors" collect rare stuff, then sell on here when they are bored. Are they "collectors" or just posing as it and making money? lol

I also watch people repeatedly sell there Livestock [for example clown fish] offspring - yet vendors that do this pay the vendor fee.

then truthfull people have there threads deleted or told to mind there own business and shut up [hmm yea that happened to me]

It's all politics, im done now.

I think it's fair to say that this would make someone (if not me) suspicious.

there was also another thread for assorted additives I believe which was deleted.

I am the first to bow down in apology, but given the activity, I need to make sure these are not from a vendor.

Feel free to contact me offline anytime. or you're certainly welcome to contact me publicly as well. Also, since yu're so close, I'll come down, bring some corals and we can trade if you like.

Let me know

John,

no politics, just time - it takes time to catch, validate and either boot everyone or get them to be vendors - safe to say, this is a high priority to make sure we catch and stop those from doing what you've identified.

Best,

Jim

im very disturbed by it honestly i love this site its the best i was told maybe i should contribute in discuusions and add my two cents but sometimes im afraid i might give the wrong advice and cause a coral to die or something like that i feel im being penalized man its horrible feeling

 

[coralmaniac]

your more than welcome to dropp by and trade with me that be great as for the additives i dont use that brand even though its a great brand i use brightwell so i thought i get ridd of it plus all the other stuff that just laying around the house that someone else can probably use

 

[House of Laughter]

Sorry you feel that way - if I contributed to that, I apologize - however, we still need to resolve the issue at hand which is to prove you are not vendoring.

Let me know if you're up for a visit, I'll come with corals in hand so you don't feel threatened -

Best,

House
