The question should be will he allow the criminal enterprise that has been running twitter to remain
OP
OP
They were following congress's rules to maintain an agenda during the Trump presidency. They called all the big tech, google/facebook/twitter/snap many times to discuss how to keep right wing agendas squashed but did nothing about leftist agenda. In fact they allowed more violence and distrust in police by using social media. That is not happening under this administration and they're were going after them hard until recently. Why because one man is against the establishment. Congress is full of millionaires made off us minions. Public information act allow you to see their millions in stocks... they're not losing cause they have corporate lobbyist and insider information. No politician should be able to profit off the working people of this country. They should work like everyone else full time. Instead they work less then half. Fact Shelia Jackson Lee has been getting 100's of ks of dollars for lonbying.. I know cause I've been delivering the checks for over 3 decades... she's bribed and awards contracts... same goes for turner. NOT MY MONEY. Just a delivery goat. My person is friends with more governers then even turner knows... fact... on video from the horses mouth. Its outrageous what the county/state/federal government do in scandals and just spend time covering them up. But Twitter won't allow those things to be posted..... for now
Seems The lounge is open for discussions as long as it doesn’t conflict with the personal feelings of the mods. So maybe this thread stands a chance and won’t get deleted too.
Edit: If you’re delivering the check to Sheila , I wonder who delivers the checks for Abbott and Cruz?

How about quit bashing [liberals/conservatives] and oh yeah the BoD. If this thread turns into that then it will be moderated as well.
How about just focusing on marine animal husbandry?

No one said anything about the BOD in the deleted thread and it was a very civil discussion. There was no swearing nothing other than opinions and productive discourse. Sorry if that offended you. as the lounge rules posted by the op, it was not violating anything other than someone’s feelings.
Edit: it’s the lounge. Open to any topic of discussion as stated in the pinned post.
Edit edit: how is calling a politician a criminal not bashing? There seems to be very clear double standard which is alright but not under the pretense of the rules of the lounge. I mean… just fix the rules and be honest.

I have no desire to participate in this discussion, but I will state that despite the "warning" post made by the former BoD in 2008 in regards to The Lounge, MARSH General Forum rules posted (and dated June 2012) on the home page for ALL FORUMS still apply and can/will be enforced.
General Forum Rules
General Forum Rules for ALL FORUMS on marsh-reef.org
June 6th, 2012
GENERAL FORUM RULES:
MARSH operates a three strikes policy. These "strikes" will be issued as infractions for any behavior which contravenes the forum rules. All infractions will be retained on the members user file for six months. Depending on the nature and severity of the behavior they may, or may not, be preceded by a warning. While these warnings do not count towards a user’s strike count they do remain on your account and visible to the Staff for the same period of six months.
Messages that breach any of these rules may result in issue of warnings and or infractions under MARSH's three strikes policy and this will ultimately lead to temporary or permanent bans from the site. Three strikes at any level will result in a temporary ban as a minimum.
The policy will work as follows:
Strike one is a formal warning.
Strike two will be an automatic two week ban.
Strike three will be an automatic and permanent ban.
The MARSH Staff's decision on issues of unacceptable behavior will be final. Publicly posted complaints about moderation will not be tolerated, and will be regarded as a further strike. If you wish to discuss a moderation decision then please do so by pm and not by posting publicly on the forum.
We reserve the right to issue immediate permanent bans where a member’s conduct warrants this action.

Don't matter to me... its the quality of the person. Turner I like a lot. My post about that was to show no matter what side you're on corruption will always follow
% how you deal with it is key. Do you fight the momentum or is it time to join the crowd even if you're not 100% in.
OP

Hence always keep an open mind and not so one sided...its okay to poke here and there but constantly doing the same things is an issue to be dealt with. NO PUN intended towards anyone just stating how I feel on certain issues.

People always complain about the bod, they been doing it for years. But yet getting those same people to step up and volunteer their time goes on deaf ears. It’s easy to sit back behind a keyboard and complain, but only a few will step up and truly give their time. I’m a club member just like everyone else, I signed up because I wanted to help and do more. But I understand why most people won’t volunteer, it’s thankless and there are always some members that will call you names, accuse you of being bias and try to second guess your every move. For what? Who would want to do that for free?! When I walk into a LFS they don’t bow down to me and start giving me free stuff, they run because there afraid I’m gonna try to get more for the CLUB. I don’t see anyone of our members trying to do the same thing. There is no fame in this game.
Maybe if we get rid of the bod all together and just let the members moderate each other’s posts that might work better and then the club might be more organized and happier. Or we could not moderate at all and just let it be a free for all. Ya’ll have no idea how close we are to loosing all the bod altogether. People have either got to step up or at the very least stop complaining about the ones that are.
Ok I’m done now, y’all can go back to talking about Elon, just play nice, get along and no name calling. I don’t care who it’s is, Elon, trump, biden or even Mickey Mouse. No name calling, trolling, flaming or whatever else the kids call it these days.
