Removal of Topics
Discussion Topics
Discussion topics are the driving force behind any forum. Our forum community gathers and discusses Planted Aquariums. We must take into consideration the time, effort and level of dedication each member has put into this hobby. When choosing to post any replies or comments in any topic of discussion we need to be sensitive to others and consider our own feelings when we decide to “vocalize” with any sort of manner other than should be deemed appropriate by decency and common sense. By “others”, it is meant those who read what is being written and may not necessarily reply and/or choose to become part of the conversation. In life, we make choices that will affect one and not another and in no way affect yourself.
Off Topic Posts
It is the individual member's responsibility to post any responses to any topic and continue to maintain topic discussion. Any off topic discussion is considered distracting and rude to other members. If “off topic” posts are made they will be deleted to restore the topic of discussion.
