ScubaBoard.... For having run across it searching for gear reviews, I’m deeply grateful.

Reading you quote me, I’d like to be clear here; I’m deeply grateful for ScubaBoard.

 

[The Chairman]

Oh, I understood that! But we want to take our Peer Gear Reviews up a notch or three! You heard it here first!

in the Trolling definition, you use the acronym POV without defniitng it (I assume it is point of view)

In photo gallery, perhaps "grossly offensive" should be changed to just "offiensive"

 

[The Chairman]

Yeah, we will be adding POV Warrior to our definition list. In short a Point of View Warrior is someone bent on pushing their agenda whenever they can. You know the type: all agencies are bad, you can only dive with a back plate and wings or if you don't do things my way you're gonna die!. These types of continual agenda pushing only serve to harass others with a differing POV and the end result is that they limit discussion and understanding. We have been too tolerant of this type of activity in the Scuba Related forums and are committed to allowing a broader set of opinions in there.

How about just making them wear a POV Troll badge? :lol2:

basically the biggest change i see is that no subject matter is explicitly ruled out per se, as used to be the case with sexual terms and politics, except that all discussions are to remain at the PG level

thus, under the new TOS (as i read it), sexual discussion and politics are ok so long as they remain within a PG rating

in essence, under the new TOS (as i read it) any subject is ok, so long as a PG rating is maintained

if i am reading this right, i think this is a great change, and one that many of us have been asking for for a long time ...

not sure why they are suddenly selling heated blankets in hell, but hey, i'm glad of it ... free market and all

We were smart enough to ban you in advance.



Actually, just go to your Group Preferences (once you are already opted in to Surface Interval) and join.
