My mother told me when I was small... that in this world sooner or later you will be amazed of how many d***ck heads you can find!

(Well, she actually never said that, but I guess is a good way to start this Blog).

Ok, this is the brief story ... I work in Divers Jobs almost everyday. No... I don't get paid for it. Divers Jobs is only me, me and me... and sometimes... me.

The rules of the site are sooooo clear that is quite obvious for any normal human/diver to follow. Just apply for the jobs and post real vacancies.

Well, a few days ago... a course director called XXXX (I decided to take off his name after an apology he just sent me... ) posted a typical free publicity ad regarding his so called FREE IDC . For many of you an IDC is the instructor development course that Divemasters have to do to become an Instructor.

Well, I contacted XXXX in a nice way, telling him that if he wanted to promote his IDC in a normal way, he could use our partner website Choosing IDC

Well, Thien didn't answer me, so I erased his ad, his username and bye bye problem.

Well... not really. Today the Ad was posted again. He re-creates this username and posted again an ad banned from DiversJobs.com

So I though, well... Gabriel... you MUST be wrong.   How is it possible that a Course Director (the maximum rank in the PADI army... ) is doing something like this. So I check the Whois of the website that the "Job advert" was posted.

The register of the domain: 

XXXXX  Company
   619 Hyde Street
   San Francisco, California 94109
   United States 

Ok, so what this shows is that in fact this guy promotes his own courses by pretending to be a serious company posting jobs. 

Mmm... not good.

What I find amazing is how people don't learn when you ask them in a good and decent way. It seems that society only works with brutal force or when you find that is impossible to find a intelligent person that can understand that a public service can't be abuse for personal benefit.

So the 1.000.000 dollar question is: If this individual brakes such clear and polite rules about behaving online... can you imagine how is his educational system ? How many rules in diving is he willing to brake?

Because I believe that if you are rude online , if you brake rules , if you try to be a little naughty boy in this virtual world... well, that is a clear evidence of how you act and behave in the REAL world.

But hey, may be I'm just wrong...
