Locz,
I read your conversation with Mario and since you insist on trying to pick a fight with him lets end this now...
1) Some of your comment HAVE been edited from this board both my me personally and by some of the other Moderators
2) You will notice that these boards are a bit different from many of the others out there in that while we all like to have fun we also keep things RATED G-EDU... All ages are welcome and an educational atmosphere is the general theme to help people become better divers.
3) ALL are welcome period, even Non-Divers such as yourself... But there are some things that are not welcome...
4) Off-color, rude, racial or obnoxious remarks will either be edited for content or removed. Your post have come borderline for all of the above in the past.
5) Post that repeatedly make use of words like " mmmmmmmmmmuuuuuuulllllltttttiippppplllllllllleeeeeeee letters" will be edited or (as I have because I got tired of it after the X'th time) just removed as I don't have time to play games. This also includes post that have More Icons than LETTERS in the post ... Not just words, but letters!!! Come on now, that's just annoying.
6) Our goal is to help others and maintain a healthy and open forum for the promotion of scuba diving in both a recreational and professional manner. People start getting annoyed when they are trying to ask a legit question about something they obviously care about (or they wouldnt have asked) and their question gets buried under 4+ posts in a row with the same person posting with more Icons than intelligable thoughts.
7) Anyone that has taken any time to read the posts around here will easily find that while we like to have fun and can also be serious about diving, we dont tolerate things like those listed in #4 above. There is just no room for it here. There are plenty of other forums for being obnoxious and 97.5% non-serious/NDR chit-chat, heck, you'll even find other scuba diving forums like that. So your attacks on Mario, claiming that he has some sort of Racially motivated problems with you, are offensive and un-welcome!
Just so you dont try to do to me what you kept doing to Mario I will grant your request of "give me more specific examples"...
LoCz: how the hell do you see fit to edit my message like when i ofended walter?
Mario: Please keep in mind that I have been a Moderator on the board for a few hours now. I haven't been following everyone's 'issues'
LoCz: yeh well i just RETYPED it and who cares about grammer and spelling?...you have illusions of grandeur
Mario: I don't want to have this conversation with you any longer
LoCz: the boards are not american....they are international. you ppl dont seem to get that
Mario: you can respect that can't you, I don't want to get into this with you
LoCz: this is called a conversation
Mario: I have shown the utmost in respect towards you and anyone else I don't really know that well
LoCz: no mario ....your only aim is to become/remain popular ...do you reliase how rediculous you sound?
Mario: I'll always be happy to help you with dive questions you may have
LoCz: are there any americans with brains at all i wonder ...it pisses me off that americans cant hold a conversation...now your going to run away i expect
Mario: I said it before, I don't want to have this conversation with you
LoCz: your going to run?
Mario: I'm trying to be diplomatic here, but I do however have a tolerance limit
Mario: LoCz, I'll see you around the boards...Good night
LoCz: this is just because i not a diver yet?
Mario: Good night LoCz
Mario has earned and gained the respect of many here on these boards, and he, nor anyone else deserve that kind of treatment. If you can't respect people here and use these forums in a mature manner then please go elsewhere... I wont ask again...
