unbanded

venicenporta · 08-15-2007, 08:04 PM

I'm banned on 2cool for some reason and was wondering if anyone knows a remedy and/or why.

Snagged · 08-15-2007, 08:13 PM

Suggest that you contact Mont and ask why.

venicenporta · 08-15-2007, 08:16 PM

I tried...no response at all and I have no idea what I did.

were you involved in the "snitch" thread about calling the gamewarden on illegal fishing?????

venicenporta · 08-15-2007, 08:45 PM

just a couple of semi arguments

Venicenporta .....

I come in peace.

I really haven't a clue as to why Mont banned you from 2cool but let me offer this.

You started a thread where you said you had a bunch of pictures of Mangrove Snappers you had been catching but when you tried to post the pics you got error messages that told you the files were too large. I posted to you instructions for resizing pics.

After viewing what were obviously some gorgeous Mangos much nicer than any I or anyone I know had caught out of Port A I posted to you asking what you were using for bait and how you were fishing for them. I did not ask you for GPS numbers or secrets , however, you posted back to me that you were doing this for a living and were not going to give out any secrets.

I accepted this and moved on. However, your reply apparently angered some other posters and in one reply you gave some obviously errant information. I never opened the thread again but maybe it escalated from there.

A more appropriate reply might have been, "awesum ..... I'm sorry but I have a charter boat and I do this for a living and my well being depends on guarding such things closely enough that I can continue to put clients on these fish. Otherwise I would generously share this information with you..."

Please remember that we are all bretheren here .... and certainly Mont feels so.

Those are still some gorgeous Mangos...

I thought that was more or less my reply, I'm sorry if that angered people but he has NO right to require me or anyone else to give away any secrets, much less everything. He will not even explain his actions and that is odd for a well respected website.

I think that you will learn that there are many things that Mont will not tolerate on his website.

Just from reading the board for a while...I can say that Mont does not tolerate a few things on 2cool, mainly nonsense. Mont does not tolerate vulgarities...whether it be language, pics, T&A discussions, etc. He does not tolerate boisterous behaviour on his website. You may or may not agree with Mont, but it is his website and he caters to a family style atmosphere and does not want to expose young fishermen/fisherwomen to any behavior that is contrary to setting a good example.

I tip my hat to Mont...and respect his overall intent with 2cool. I think that once you recognize and respect his style of running a website that he will probably let you back in. He can be very tough with posters...but he is committed to keeping his website clean...and has every right to slap some hands to keep things in order as he deems appropriate.

I'm not trying to lecture you here....just trying to help you understand Mont and the 2cool board.

OK, Richard, so why the heck haven't you been banned yet?

Welcome to 360tuna Venicenporta!
I wasn't privy to the thread mentioned,
but, I'm sure tolerance & understanding will
prevail.
The only run-in I ever had w/ a 2cool member
over there didn't get me banned, but I was politely
"corrected" by Monte. Like STX says, He is fair, &
it's his site. His rules. HIS REPUTATION.
I abided & will continue to do so. just as if I was
given a request from TJ here or any of the moderators
of the other fishing related sites I frequent.
It's all good, Brother. Let it lie & it'll probably go away
on it's own.
Tight lines
