“This forum is intended to be an open, liberal and unbiased forum, but the owners, moderators and sponsors reserve the right to edit and/or remove any message or graphic that break the following rules:“

No rules we’re broken.

The mods break their own rules.

So much for an open, liberal, and unbiased forum.

Keep it up, and your departure won't be voluntary.

Banned for posting the rules?

I would agree, the moderation here has served the personal agenda of one moderator. I will post examples later tonight.

and highest signal to noise ratio of any forum I'm on. One of the unfortunate things about taking any kind of position of responsibility is that you can never make everybody happy.

We must be looking for very different "signal" vs noise. I come to this place everyday, check new threads, and usually leave disappointed. Moderation aside, this place is a shell of its former self. I don't like it as I'd rather get my cave diving content in a place like this than the social media vehicles out there. That's the only reason I come back. I want to see it here.

If you are happy with 50% gear exchange, 40% water cooler talk/jokes and trolling, and the remaining actual real content or newbie questions then don't change a thing.

Many of the forums are not so active now. thedecostop.com is not even a shell of its former self, being reduced to a shell of a shell. Reduced only to ads, and not that many of those.

Scubaboard seems to be doing somewhat okay so maybe it's more a tech diving thing.

Many forums do not allow any discussion of moderators or moderating. But I did look through the rules here and don't see any such prohibition.

The existence and content of this thread are a perfect example of why messageboards have been withering.

Frankly, they're the last forum (no pun intended) of luddites who missed the train when social media moved on.
