Subtletanks91 Posted July 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2014 Funny thing is the mods over there are probably lurking here, and as soon as we are un banned will find a reason to ban us again for talking trash.

Puddles Posted July 23, 2014 Report Share Posted July 23, 2014 (edited) I got banned at tpt for having my company logo as my avatar. My bad, but it had been my avatar for like 6 months by this point, why the sudden problem?. The infraction notice said the infraction would disappear after a while, so I replied and said "when will the infraction be listed?" . Boom, instant ban for "threatening a moderator." I think there are major conflicts of interests there bc the moderators are sellers too and don't want competition.

Subtletanks91 Posted July 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2014 That's very true. But they can't so hat because you own the company. Its not like your promoting an external website someone else owns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Puddles Posted July 23, 2014 Report Share Posted July 23, 2014 Ya. Honestly I was trying out homemade shrimp food, and jake (maker of home made shrimp food) banned me, so... I think it's fishy. And no one has responded to emails. But this is a much better forum and community by far so it's not so bad Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

High5's Posted July 24, 2014 Report Share Posted July 24, 2014 At the end of the day it's for the best all of the positive non of the negative here. People should come here wanting to learn about keeping shrimp and when they feel confidant to do so because of all the help we provide here, the same people will be buying shrimp and shrimp products from the sponsors. I think that's good for the hobby and good for all of us in the long run, creating a fun exciting place to learn and share will only make the hobby grow along with the interest of keeping shrimp in the USA. As I look at it the Shrimp Spot is the foundation of the hobby in the USA and I will support it in anyway I can. countryboy12484, Duff0712, ctaylor3737 and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subtletanks91 Posted July 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2014 Very well put. This probably will be the foundation to expanding this niche inside a niche intill its a hobby all its own. People come to my work and ask what I have and ask how I keep up with it. For mw its second nature I pick up fast. But I also recommend people do their research first because its not like having a dog or a cat fish almost need at least one hour per day for one tank. Shrimp its just as much work and planted tanks iis even more. for us it comes easy so we can all help the others who need it. I al by no means an expert but I know quite a bit about fish and aquatics. When I leave my department will crumble. lets make this place even more exciting than it already is!

nixona Posted July 27, 2014 Report Share Posted July 27, 2014 Puddles - I'm glad you had this site printed on your card! Saw you were banned on TPT and had no idea what was going on.

chibikaie Posted July 27, 2014 Report Share Posted July 27, 2014 Lol, didn't need to be banned to jump ship. A bunch of people in sorta-my area actually started a fb group to get away from tpt, and then I dumped them when one of *their* mods went insane. Now there's a new group. Not too many shrimpers, though, and most of them are far enough away that I don't make it to meets/trips/etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
