I have seen a few posts in the last year where legitimate questions were asked of the seller, and the asker gets a warning from a moderator. Here are a couple examples:
-A user had posted that her fish were sick and she couldn't figure out what was wrong with them. 3 weeks later she posted them for sale and was asked if they were healed and what had been done to heal them. The member never answered the question, but instead went running to the mods to complain. All of the members that asked about the health of the fish were contacted by the mods and told not to post anymore questions or we'd be in trouble (I was one of them).
Now, with all of the diseases being passed around by members because they don't fully disclose their tank inhabitants maladies, why were questions about the health of the fish considered to be inappropriate? Any potential buyer has a right to know the health and history of their purchase don't they?
-Recently we had another member offered up a coral for sale. He then raised the price of the coral, and when asked about it he said it was someone elses. Then he said it was a gift. Then he said that he didn't want a cap that big in his tank, but at the same time took a large cap from someone else for free. People in the threat were inquiring about all of the inconsistencies with what was said in the thread, yet the post that closed the thread said that some of those questions were inappropriate.
So I guess my question is, why were those questions inappropriate? Not trying to start something here, but it's a legitimate question.
