I joined this forum because I thought it would be a calm and welcoming environment to talk about aquariums and aquatic plants, but boy was I wrong. Some of the people on this forum are extremely rude and entitled, namely the infamous moderator Somewhatshocked. He will ban you without warning and over the simplest things, even as simple as respectfully disagreeing with him. And he handles it in the most absolute rude way possible as well. I was banned for defending myself from someone calling me an animal abuser for asking a question. I was banned after I PM the mod to ask for further elaboration on his ban threat, which he only responded with extremely rude rhetoric and false assumptions about me. I will post the screenshots as evidence. Note that the first photo will be the PM with the mod after the altercation in the comments seen in the following pictures. My final message to the mod - the one that got me permabanned for "continuously causing drama and disobeying the mods" - can be seen at the bottom in a text box. I took the screenshot before I replied since I knew the comment would get me immediately banned. Also, I am user Jo2h2803, or the discussion starter with the yellow "J" profile picture.

TL; DR: Don't use this forum. It has some of the most rude and disrespectful people I have met on the internet and you will be banned over nothing.

Edit: It did not post the photos in order. I think the second to last photo is the PM with the mod.
