Got hit with a 30 day mute on a fishing forum over a 12 word reply about trout limits
I said the daily limit at Lake Taneycomo felt too high for how pressured that water gets, and a mod nuked my account within an hour. What got me was the email they sent: 'your view does not match our community values.' Anyone else get a longer ban than the actual argument deserved?

Wait, they actually put that line in the email? "Your view does not match our community values" over trout limits? That is wild. Tbh that sounds less like a fishing forum and more like some kind of weird club where you have to agree with everyone or get booted. A 30 day mute for 12 words is nuts, especially since you weren't even being rude, you just had a different read on the limit. Ngl the whole thing bugs me because it is not about trout at all, it is about mods who cannot handle someone saying the rules might need a second look. Half the point of a forum is arguing about stuff like limits, that is how people learn what is working on their water. Getting nuked for a calm opinion tells you way more about that place than it does about you.
