Question Banning.

[Snapscuba]

When you have been banned, what recourse do you have to explain yourself ?

I can sum up the ToS in 4 words...

Don't be a dick.

To be fair, the OP, a vary nice guy I am conversing with, is not a dick. He got caught up in a selling post in the wrong forum and got spam-hammered.

I have told him which forums are open to selling.

I’m not a Yankee. I’m a Midwesterner.

And I'm a Canuck, eh....

There are other names for Canadians but I’d probably get in trouble. I’m half Canadian, BTW, eh, with a large dash of French-Canadian on the other side.

Hoser?

The deleted posts mentioned there were deleted for a specific, explained reason:



Nobody was banned. You can argue about what you think the rules should be for the beginning divers forum, but that's a different discussion. To me this seems like an exceedingly poor example of



as you claimed.

The people who were banned cannot give you the proof you want.

American-lite?

Well, there's a lot of diving practices which are noticably more controversial than that.

Personally, I wouldn't dive with you (but that's my choice), but I can't see that your opinions are particularly controversial. I've heard those opinions quite a few times. Just be open about your preferences during the pre-dive chat, and any competent diver should be fine with diving (or not diving) with you

I'm sure the guy that got banned feels better now that he knows my type of diving is not among the most controversial diving practices.

I will also have to learn to live with the knowledge that you wouldn't dive with me.

The struggle is real.

The struggle is real.

Fortunately, I'm on my phone or you would have owed me a keyboard.

What a toxic back-and-forth. It doesn't make SB look good.

Toxic? Really? Chill.
