Is criticism of Moderators a bannable offense?

the whaling threads
But I agree, I hate politics in a forum. It's a banned subject in most families during the holidays, along with hockey when the Quebec Nordiques were still in the NHL

Yes, and *PLEASE* get rid of those two.
I tend to do a search on threads that I've posted in when I hit scubaboard and I keep on getting sucked back into those two... I keep hoping they'll die or get pulled...
OP
they are freedivers.wardric:well.... whales dive dont they?

ScubaBoard is the great place it is because its members think of it as a place to hang out with friends and shoot the breeze
it's not a diving board, though it's main subject is diving
anyone who says that it is a diving board does not understand ScubaBoard, what they have in their hands, how it got so big, and why it's the best board out there
how many internet boards have members who put twice-annual trips together? or weekly boat dives? or fly from the pacific northwest to key largo to meet other scuba board members?
you don't understand the scubaboard community if you think this is just a dive board, sorry

Not a secret police? Seriously guys I urge you to examine how you are viewed. If not for anything but the promotion of this board. The "old school" mentality OE had was not working - where one group is waiting "scared" for the big door to open and the gods or police, if you will, to emerge.
Seriously, this place is slightly out of control and is very "scary," particularly to new members. Those that are supporting the rather nasty comments - you must realize how off-putting this is to new people. Maybe instead of an SI a Sailors only room?
I get on average at least one pm a week from total strangers, who dare not post. Usually asking for guidance, direction, or assistance, which I do not mind in the slightest. I often get "you seem nice", which is quite flattering, if I do say so myself. However, I can't help but think they are on the losing end of the stick. I have one in my box now that I am going to do some quick research for; however, I feel she would have benefited more by posting a thread. I guess what I am getting at is many are not seeing the family aspect or friendly atmosphere.
Okay I am just rambling now.

this is the key
unfortunately, i've been trying to say this without success
you guys need to understand the scubaboard community and what is going on, and how you are perceived as a result
come on guys ... this isn't hard to grasp
you have a wonderful backroom and horrible public relations perception up front
you could be a guide Tracy
