Well after posting my last for sale thread I get this Email.

"Your selling thread on Reef Central has been removed. Our selling forums are not for commercial entities. You state in your profile you are a "LFS", and your pictures clearly demonstrate someone who is more than a casual seller of frags from their personal tank.

Your account has been placed on probation, which means you can no longer post in the selling forums, and you no longer have the ability to send or receive private messages or emails through Reef Central.

I work at a PetLand locally and they have no actual frag tanks. I have 4 frag tanks and they are banning me from selling. How stupid is that?

I hope I am not the only one that thinks it is ridiculous!

That they can charge vendors $20,000 a year to be on there, and the millions of hits a day.
Haven't been there in a while myself. I couldn't read all the posts if I wanted to, the search sucks, ect.

Much better here.

I agree wholly with this. The problem is that I have a trade that is in the making and sold two frag packs to people. The packs are supposed to arrive there today and I have no way of communication with them.

Freaking ridiculous!

does your profile say "LFS" or "PetLand"? that would make a diffence. if it says LSF then i think its just a missunderstanding and you should be able to current it.
