othickman 6 Posted December 9, 2009 Report Share Posted December 9, 2009 As most of you know, look on any topic, particularly controversial ones like the countryfile, you will see a massive amount of guests. Surely it would be a good idea to prevent this from happening as antis will, obviously, cause a lot of hassle and agro on a pro hunting site, and a number of other forums have a setting enabled that makes it so you have to register to be able to view anything other than the list of different subforums. And that's gotta be worth doing, make so that trouble makers are less likely to register if they can't see that tempting thread, y'know? And those who are thinking of joining the site and aren't antis would still join because they can see the # of registered users... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It's like someone saying why the f**k make a film about Titanic, we know the thing sinks. It will not solve the major problem of the hunting ban. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

On that basis, close all the hunting forums to guests. Going to get it hard to get new members in, unless they live local to existing members they're not going to have anyone to vouch for them are they It still doesn't solve the hunting ban problem, which is the cause of no photos being shown.

Waz 4,274 Posted December 9, 2009 Report Share Posted December 9, 2009 (edited) To everyone,,, 1st sign out, then have a look at the site, most subjects are protected forum, basically that means you cant see the posts in there unless you are signed up and signed in. I dont think it is difficult to become a member here, you just need a proper email account and then you sign up. As far as I am aware this has always been the case. Total number of members on this site is 22 thousand!!!! a massive amount. How many of those are active ie not obsolete accounts? & how many are anti fieldsports? & of course dont forget the people who have more than 1 account, theres one I can think have that has had 3-5 at the same time. So, basically if there is anything you dont want to become known publically, the only thing you can do to protect yourself is either not post or keep it to PM only. End of the day, its upto the forum owner to decide whether the forum is available to be viewed by non members. Edited December 9, 2009 by GD Waz Quote Link to post Share on other sites
