new to the flock Posted April 13, 2007 Report Share Posted April 13, 2007 Why is it that about every 2 to 3 months we go through a "lets get the mods and change the forum format"? There are a dozen UK hunting sites where you can post anything you want....you can have nudity, swearing, and fighting. Do we need to bring that here? There is a policy on this forum that no profanity, nudity, or slamming will be tolerated. That also includes posts that the Mods., or Admin feel are not appropriote for other reasons. Everytime someones post gets zapped intentionally or by accident people start jumping on the band wagon of freedom of speach and censorship. Guess what you folks dont own this site! The Admin in this case Teal, does and if he does not want swearing, or riskay jokes here than that is his decission. The Mods. are just following his rules. I know sometimes posts get deleeted by mistake and the Mods will appoligize useually as soon as it has happened, sometimes it takes a bit of investigation first. I dont think that there are many of us on here that have not had a post or two zapped....my self included. Mistakes Happen. Personally I like knowing that if my kids or Trix can come on here they are not going to be subjected to alot of the things you find on other sites....sites that my kids are not allowed on. I am sure Ferret Master's Mom is glad this site runs the way it does... we have had him along with us since he was 11 or 12. This is a clean safe site for all of the family. I for one want it to stay that way. If you have something that does not conform to this site put it up on one of the dozen other sites that it does conform to. To Cranfield, HenryD, Axe, and Teal....Thanks Lads you are doing a great job NTTF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Markio Posted April 13, 2007 Report Share Posted April 13, 2007 Well the first shooting site i joined has now turned into a bickering bitch ring full of adult males who should know better. There's an instigator but a select few can't help but rise to the bait and now the whole site revolves around petty arguments and if you're lucky a few odd posts about shooting sports. NTTF, i agree whole heartedly with you. I've heard people mention that this site is heavily moderated but it keeps it on track. There are many thread i enjoy reading on here on EVERY visit. If i want to listen to slanging matches i'll do some overtime in the office. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SNAKEBITE Posted April 13, 2007 Report Share Posted April 13, 2007 I don't want to see petty arguements and people baiting others all the time. I go to the BBS for that! I am here for a bit of fun, banter and constructive arguement. I like it here but I get the feeling of being at tea with the vicar sometimes. False airs and graces and sometimes it's good to let your hair down! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
