I'm really having a hard time with the over-moderation of posts and threads on this board. If you want to live in a sanitized society, find one where the leader acts like a dictator making secret rulings allowing secret invasions of privacy by governmental entities without benefit of constiutional protections or warrants and...and...and...oh...errrr...ah....well, ok, you know what I mean! I'd like to know why my thread was closed? I don't see anything in there that violates TOS...anyone?

Don't forget Organic Gardners who dive, Nascar Divers, Diving Quilters, Orthodontists that dive, Ice Cream lovers that dive, .......................................................


Let's hear it for the Diving Quilters!!!!
 
My apologies for not getting back to people on this earlier... our policy is to tell thread starters why their thread was closed, I made the mistake of thinking people would understand why I closed this one.... again, my mistake.

As far as why the thread is closed, well it's rather simple (or at least I saw it as simple). A member made a legitimate and good suggestion which will be considered like all other suggestions. The suggestion forum is just that -- for suggestions which we welcome. What we do not want to have happen is people posting suggestions and other people insulting, questioning their suggestion. The point of the forum is for anyone to state what they think would contribute to the board -- if you like a suggestion, great, if not you are welcome to post your own suggestion. In this case, the suggestion was made, a few people chimed in with their thoughts then some comments were made that looked like they could take the discussion the opposite way so I closed it – the idea was presented, debate is not needed – its just an idea at this point and shouldn’t be scorned. Closing the thread is not to say ScubaBoard has a problem with the idea, not at all - but rather that we want suggestions to be welcomed, not taken off topic.

So, what you are saying is that if you don't like censorship and draconian measures, you should leave, and go to another board... Is that what you're suggesting?
Let me offer my own, hopefully unambiguous assent:

Bub-bye.

Don't let the door hit you in the butt as you depart.
 
I was going to go, but now I'm going to stick around and try to annoy anyone in their dive get-up...BOO-YAHH!!!!!! I am a New York, (very, very) Liberal (as in like almost communist, except for the fact that I like all the money I have too much and want to keep it) Lawyer...I only think Hillary should be President because we can't bring back Bill Clinton for another spin!!!! I also support same-sex marriage and stem cell research and abortion rights too!!!
