BULL 100 Posted April 19, 2008 Report Share Posted April 19, 2008 Most people joined this site to either share experiences or learn of more experienced hunters in there chosen field of hunting ,i dont know if its because its the end of the season and all the useful posters have stopped coming on here until new season starts or people have got fed up and left . It seems every other post is moaning about the site or moaning about members . think there should be a locked section for trusted members over a certain age limit to talk and post on various PRE BAN subjects. a SQUABBLE SECTION were if a few members have a disagreement they can post on there and not intrude on posts were people dont want to read that shit. and finally a KIDDIES section were the youngsters can go on and do what ever they do . This would free up the site from immature comments .back stabbing, bickering ,and pc hard men who havnt got the balls to speak to anyone in real life but turn into a mike tyson on here. your thoughts BULL Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest buster321c Posted April 19, 2008 Report Share Posted April 19, 2008 Could do with an `opinions` section , or something like that . I`ve noticed on other forums there is a section where you can vouch for people ( eg. trustworthy ) and aswell , a beware section ( un trustworthy ), because lets be honest we all have something to say ,and sometimes its a moan , but dont want to read about it in the place where you have come for some help / advise .

Rolfe 2 Posted April 19, 2008 Report Share Posted April 19, 2008 Serious thought is being given to a closed off area for trusted and approved members to post topics as you have suggested.......ultimately the decision rests with Ian B who as you know has the final say in these matters. Can i assure you though that things are being tightened up on the forum and the agitators and morons that post utter sh*te will be removed if they continue to do so. Rolfe.

Guest JohnGalway Posted April 19, 2008 Report Share Posted April 19, 2008 BULL, I'm just going to repeat part of what Rolfe has said. There is an ongoing "cull" on trouble makers, there is pretty much a zero tolerance on it at the moment. When things return to normal I could pretty safely guess that while the terms and conditions of the site will be upheld there'll be a return to "soft moderating" as there will be considerably less trouble.

skycat 6,174 Posted April 19, 2008 Report Share Posted April 19, 2008 IMO for what it's worth: if it had been my site I'd have chucked the youthful idiots out long ago. Not trying to say that all the young 'uns are idiots: far from it, and they are the future of our way of life: but it does seem as though some of them use the site for their own little feuds and spitting matches and they're no way trying to learn anything new on here. there should be some rule about slagging eachother off: 3 strikes and your'e out kind of thing. That way we wouldn't have to be embarassed at the rest of the world seeing how badly and stupidly some of these numpties behave. Rant over! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hello Skycat totally agree but if we get rid of all the numpties who's gonna moderate the site we'll have to leave a few only kidding Mods you beautiful people.

speedlamper 0 Posted April 19, 2008 Report Share Posted April 19, 2008 recent events? its always been like this wrong it's all very good having secret cubby hole sections,it gives the ungodly more incentive to hack their way into it.whatever anyone wants to post should be able to be seen&read by all if it is,nt youve got something to hide and as many of us have said before there is no place to hide on the big bad web.by making secret,cliquey sections you are admitting as a group of mods and admin that youve lost your grip on the site,its got to big for you and maybe you have.nt the kahoonas to get your grip back.i along with others will wait and see how hard your so called hard line will be.it,s a crying shame as this site used to lead the way after moo.chers lost its way,will it come back to those high standards no never imo and if you werent here then at the start you cant comment how it was.yes,laws were passed but that isnt the main reason why the site went down hill.if you want a big site you must take all the shite that comes with it now we are all living that dream or nightmare as the case might be in your personal opinion wrong? you've only been here 2 months or your hiding something Quote Link to post Share on other sites

speedlamper 0 Posted April 19, 2008 Report Share Posted April 19, 2008 nothing to hide people come and go and then come back again.but it,s a shame to see things now compared to how they were,which you can.t remember being that youve only been a member since august.that.s not your fault but you woud,nt know how it used to be,only if your hiding something not at all im only talking my time here since august, i take it you forgot your old username then seeing as they last for ever and would of been no need for a name change Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Guest WILF Posted April 19, 2008 Report Share Posted April 19, 2008 This subject keeps coming up, so here is my take on it..............as much as all these folk keep saying that want a more "serious" forum, in reality they would probly hate it. I would say that the type of forum frequented by more "serious" (for want of a better word) dog lads would be much to quiet for most as these lads just say what they need to say and no more. Nothing to prove you see........... This place is very entertaining, and its a constant amusment to come in and play............but thats all. Security wise it is riddled with antis and your more gung ho types and idiots are very easily taken by the nose and made to reveal all. Thats not a bother to me as I only keep a pet dog now since the act. I keep hearing the phrase "genuine lads"............to be honest, on this forum you could count them on one hand.

Chin Chin well i agree with most things you said there i just thought if there was a way of segregating certain areas/topics of the forum then if you wanted to be entertained by arguments general piss taking or even a bit of banter there could be certain sections that gave you that choice, thus freeing up the other sections to do as it says on the section ,example someone goes on the terrier section to slate/ridicule one of the members ,mods move it to a squabble section were they can sort it out if its a legitimate gripe if its just to embarrass or arras members warn them and delete them if it carries on,and other like minded people can enjoy that section. whilst the terrier section is then freed up of pointless posts and people who want to enjoy posts on terriers do so.
