Got banned from Australian Freshwater Turtles forum for speaking my mind.

I wasn't rude, didn't break any of the site rules. Just mentioned my Aunt's had an unlicensed turtle for years (since I was a kid) because a new young member got snapped at by a moderator for obtaining one unlicensed (he wanted to know how to register it). I support the forum and its cause (get my supplies from them). But apparently free speech isn't an option there, say something they dont like and a moderator will re-word your post (he literally edited my post) so it pushes their own agenda. Pull them up on it and you'll get a lifetime ban lol.

no offence mate but thats pretty funny, what made it even funnier is an ad for turtle man just come on tv.

[Adam]

But seriously Seems like a shit place to go anyway!

[TSG]

Yeah the problem is I had been posting there for years now.

They can be a bit immature when it comes to conversation in the 'grey area' of the law. Its a good forum for learning stuff regarding the turtes but apparently if you argue with a moderator you're banned. Even if you have donated to the cause, donated your old tank, shared information etc.

Rather offended to be honest, I don't get banned from forums often lol. I created a dummy account to ask a mate for his email address and they banned that too.

Yeh likewise, I laughed haha...

Do they have monthly meets?

[TSG]

Haha, they actually do hold meets a couple times a year, I have never gone along to one of them though.

It is surprising how immature the moderators can be. Say something they dissagree with, dissappear forever! Its more like China Freshwater Turtles.

[RX25SE]

Maybe the moderators need to come out of their shell a bit more often?

Take it lightly.

Its pretty lame they feel the need to edit your post to reflect or state a different point of view. I'd laugh it off if I were you.

[TSG]

Haha I am, and I am purposely posting it around the forums I visit with a bitch thread like this so it appears in google results etc.

I managed to get in email contact with the guy I gave my old enclosure to, also a moderator, and he thinks its hilarious as well. He is going to ask the site owner to lift the ban, but admits they have a hard line on the legalities surrounding reptiles.

I mean I get it, my Aunt took a turtle from its habitat about 20 years ago, but I never said it was right. Apparently I was condoning this behaviour, even though I clearly stated I don't. I was trying to help a young kid that was being flamed because his mum bought a turtle illegally through gumtree.

So you stuck your neck out and got banned?
Seems a little cold blooded.
