it's sad to see mods have to step down, for something like that. i believe that haveing mods that aren't afraid to tell people that are blatently wrong, if they are, is something that is needed in any type of forum, all the lovey dovey- passive sort of talk doesn't get through to many of the members.

Start our own forum? Novel Idea, but already done. Sandtiger controlled this forum better than could be expected. The problem is that you have kids with no concept of ethics challenging those who are very convicted. When Santiger leaves so will your troubles, as I am sure that all of your knowledgable native guys will also. Therefore nobody will argue with Idiot 12 year olds breaking laws. MFK has made a big mistake by removing Arthur. Good luck getting another Mod as convicted about his charge.

It means you have no idea what Poly does, has done, and will continue to do.
Arthur, sorry things turned out the way they did. No idea who would be fit for the role if you weren't.

I did not start this thread to insult the site, though I myself feel insulted because I thought I was doing a service to this place. I started this thread to explain to those that might wonder why I wasen't a mod anymore. Simple as that. What really does piss me off is this. As you know there is a Moderator forum on this site unseen by other members. I was constantly in there seeking advice about these hard to deal with threads. Hardly any mods gave me thier input on how to handle things but then all of a sudden Neo tells me some mods are upset with me. No mods ever talked to me man-to-man about the things I did here, nor did any give me feedback in my threads. The few that did had nothing but nice things to say to me. So what's more mature? Mods talking smack behind my back and not giving me the feedback I ask for or me starting a thread on why I won't be moderating the site anymore? I worked hard in here. I tackled difficult situations like regulations and non-natives. I wrote lots of material for this forum and in the end I get "fired" for pissing off some trolls and not argeeing with everyone.
There is one, it is very active and very good. Best native fish keeping source on the web. Sadly the members that REALLY need advice on natives are here and not there so I'm here as well, trying to help them.

Since I don't know what went on in this case I am speaking in general....
Mods that think that they know everything don't help a forum.... unless the mod has a degree in the subject and has been in the field for 20 years they are not going to know everything.
If you mean that you should shout down an opinion that you don't like then you are wrong.
Have an calm and open discussion with the members and express your opinion, just becasue you didn't get them to admit that they were wrong dosen't mean that you haven't done a good job.
If your opinion is presented in the right way people will often think about what you have said and will do some more research to come to the truth.
Think about a parent that trys to force their opinion on a teenager.... all you can do is show people the truth and let them make up their own minds.
