How to get thrown off? Better said... how to play nice 
Basically by not violating the common rules of any message board, if you are a bit unsure of a post, then don't hit the button. If you want to read more, see the TOS (terms of service) at SCUBABoard.
Annoying is okay, as long as it's on point. Scutt has crossed the line a few times.
Repeating harangues that go nowhere is not okay. We had issues with Jose on that one.
Personal attacks are out You shouldn't say, "Joe, you're an idiot". Instead try something like, "Joe, that statement of yours sure sounds kind of idiotic". See how that could work?
General statements of racism, etc. are out. To quote Joliet Jake in the Blues Brothers: "I hate Illinois Nazis". Blondes still seem to be fair game by concensus. Me? Being a blonde haired (was, anyway) Polska of vague Jewish heritage, I am rather mixed up by all of this stuff. Just be nice, dammit.
Speaking of bad experiences at CCV is not prohibited. Certainly not. All observations are welcome. Just understand that 99.9% of all visitors, not just those here on CoCoChat, walk away very pleased. If you really saw a gap in process or a misrepresentation, lay it out, chapter and verse. There is nothing in the world that can't be improved. CCV may read this board, but if you have an issue, it would be much better to contact them directly for action. CCC is not connected with CCV in any way. Always be very specific with anything you post here, and you can always later clarify or explain prior posts that may have been misinterpreted here. Try to read the complete thread.
Please jump in and play! We have a 48:1 visitor to registered member ratio daily. Please, get a user acct ID set up and say Hi! Tag off to the thread "When you're coming to CCV". Say something!
