Cranfield Posted June 18, 2005 Report Share Posted June 18, 2005 I think Admin may have to change the heading of this Forum section. Too many people are ignoring the small print, "Post here for advice and help on gaining some extra shooting ground" and just posting asking for shooting land.In 999,999 out of 1,000,000, this will be a waste of time. Most of the people that post are new Members and when they don't get any replies, we never hear from them again. Now, they may have just joined looking for shooting, but they may also have taken offence at getting ignored and decided not to participate any further, which would be a pity. I think a change in the heading to something like , "Advice on acquiring shooting land", or take the topic out completely, may be a good idea. What do others think ?

rjimmer Posted June 18, 2005 Report Share Posted June 18, 2005 Another reasonable suggestion from Cranfield. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nashty Posted June 18, 2005 Report Share Posted June 18, 2005 Hi fellas Don't think it should be taken out because as you can read, there are some threads that get quite a bit of attention but if people just join to gain and not take part, then leave because they take offence at being ignored then frankly thats their loss. I don't believe for a minute that people are ignoring all requests for shooting permission but simply that it's difficult or there are rules layed down by the landowner, not to forget that most people are total strangers to each other so theres a matter of trust involved. I SAY NO, it stays! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nashty Posted June 18, 2005 Report Share Posted June 18, 2005 Yes, i agree. A change of heading maybe would notify people it's there only to offer advice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
