I think the other thing to remember is that all of these threads are used as reference at some point. Many people search older threads for information instead of starting a new thread with every single question or thought. I think that is why it is important to provide the correct information in these threads. It's not really helpful to say things that are wrong just to appease others. There's always someone to jump on a thread and say,"It's your tank. If you want to keep a Midas in a 10 gallon with a Jack Dempsey, and three Convicts go right ahead. No one knows what will happen for certain." That may be a bit of a stretch but people do say similarly absurd things and expect others members to say nothing. Foolish advice on these threads can get people into bad situations with their fish and aquariums. We have to show some kind of responsibility to others looking for help with their cichlids. A lot of the info on this particular forum is based on a consensus of knowledgeable hobbyists and vendors. There are some things about tank requirements, water parameters, and individual species that have been documented and proven by many others. Many members, including MODS, will agree on matters because of this. But with so many people frequenting this forum there are bound to be disagreements. That is certainly understandable. We all should make the effort to provide the best information possible to provide people with sensible and credible answers.
Cyberman, I think this is the case with most of your threads. I don't think any MODS are singling you out. Threads just become pointless when they turn into ugly fights with childish name calling. That will get any thread locked down. I commend you on the cichlids that you keep. They always appear healthy and colorful. I think you're doing a good job with your collection. I know that you also disagree with certain things that many other members agree about. I don't expect us all to agree on everything. It's all in how you handle and address these disagreements, even with members that may make the task difficult at best. People will have their own opinions and we just have to live with that.
I agree that the stock mentioned in this thread will be difficult to keep together long-term. If things turn bad, I'm sure you have the means to take appropriate actions.
