Cant even say good bye

[JoshH]

Sorry you feel that way.

I'm sorry too @revhtree

And I'm also sorry that of the years I've been on here this is our first interaction.

What really strikes me as odd is why Stacy was thrown in with Dennis. Just because your married means you have to be kicked out together? I’ve never seen anything “controversial” from @Lovemyreef2015

I’m not trying to get involved. I don’t care what happened behind the scenes. Nor do I want to know. I just hate to see him go. I hope things can get smoothed out. I can’t recall a day on here where I didn’t run into DSC or have an interaction with him.

I appreciate the kind words.

Screenshots behind the scenes? The moderation team allowed a LOT of non-friendly R2R posting to be conducted before action was taken. Trolling users, unfriendly posts, etc. Sure, sometimes it was warranted but as Reed Squad you are held to a higher standard of not engaging those situations.

You were both very helpful and kind to many but if someone flustered you, you quickly flew off the rails.

I hold no personal ill will for either of you but since you won’t share the reality of both sides of this, I will share that.

Predictable response. Why would you ever doubt the benevolent dictators? ;Hilarious;Hilarious;Hilarious

The fact that you can still post here is evidence enough that we're not trying to dictate anything to anyone.

Me as well. I can tell you I think we could get along!

 

[Lovemyreef2015]

You are part of those screenshots @4FordFamily so please don't act all high and mighty now.

 

[DSC reef]

Come on #mods back up is needed to put Dennis and Stacy in our places.

But my posts are being deleted so.....

Are they? I can still see them.

I have no idea what all this is about (and really don’t want to), but I wish this hadn’t gotten this far. I personally will miss @DSC reef. They’ve offered me such great advice in the past and I really appreciate all you’ve done here. I wish that y’all could find a resolution. Nothing is too great to burn bridges over. Please @DSC reef, reconsider. We will miss you greatly.

Alright guys, let's just take a minute here.... we are all adults and obviously there are two sides to every story. You guys wouldn't be leaving over nothing and that's obvious. And I don't think anyone needs to be put in there places....

 

[AngryMike2016]

I think it's time for a group hug.

 

[PDR]

They sure have. My post about being friends with Dennis and me being kicked from rs without even a message have both been deleted, but I have a feeling you know that already...

 

[PDR]

Can you troll a troll? That’s the only trolling I’ve ever seen...

 

[HotRocks]

I think it's time for a group hug.

Amen!

 

[ScottR]

I almost want to say that this post kind of goes against what you are campaigning for.

To all the members who felt like "we bullied" you please accept or apology.

This is one of the most honest comments we've seen so far.

We will try to address any concerns about this to the best of our ability.

First and foremost, Dennis and Stacey are valued members, very knowledgeable, and active all over the site.

Reef Squad is an esteemed and valued part of R2R and of the mentality toward making this the friendliest reef forum on earth. When someone is invited to RS there is an additional code of conduct that they must agree to. This goes above and beyond what is just in the Terms of Service.

Some of those rules are not to try and moderate things yourself, just report it and walk away. Another rule is that trolling and bullying are not tolerated. Most of the time these 2 were fine. Unfortunately, there have also been numerous occassions where there posts had to be removed or edited due to name calling or following another member forum around to harass them.

Several moderators have their number and would text or call them, to advise not to do that, or calm down, or let it go

At a certain point, they no longer are representing Reef Squad well. It was over many, many long discussions that the Mod team painstakingly decided to remove them from RS. This is the first time anyone was removed for conduct unbecoming Reef Squad. But even when we decided to remove them Rev and mdbannister called them and talked it out and clearly outlined what they needed to do to remain RS, so they were given another chance. That was a couple of months ago. And the decision this time had nothing qt or any interactions with a mod, but rather how they treated a new member a couple of weeks ago and how they dealt with someone in a lounge thread this week.

In communication with them it was also explained that hopefully someday they could be reinstated to RS.

Not everyone gets along perfectly, but the mod team has NEVER let personal feelings sway ANY disciplinary action.
