Didn't Darcy say he was going to ban all the moaning c**ts? And what about folk talking off topic like this one? The topics about hurting our sport by clowns putting up stupid photos. It's not about naming people you don't like or reporting some poor sod cause he uses text talk ff's (deliberate before I get reported lol(and again)) you see we can all remonstrate about what people do that annoys us, it's a public forum!!!

 

So you don't think that the moderators should enforce all the rules?

 

I didn't think it was 'off topic'. The whole point is that this forum is not what it was, and lots of decent members have left. Why do you think that is?

 

Yes, the 'clowns' that post some pictures, and make some statements should be deleted. The problem is that the moderators (with the help of the membership) then need to make sure that they can't re-register using a different name.

 

The fact is that these people are damaging fieldsports for everyone, especially the next generation. We all know that stuff from here has been copied and often used out of context to promote animal rights. The problem is that there is a faction that just don't care, and never will, and in my opinion, we don't need them and shouldn't give them a platform.

 

Some of the people who post crap will get the dawn knock at the door; but by then it's too late; the damage is done, the content is copied, and will likely be used against us all when the next big public debate takes place (either when we finally get a repeal, or when the animal rights lobby start pushing for more restrictions).

 

Yes, I do get cheesed off about the text talk, but what annoys me more is the lack of enforcement of that (and the other) rules.

 

 

keep it up mate,you could be the first falling on your own sword lol

 

 

PMSL <<<< TEXT TALK!!

 

Nah, I really couldn't care less about being here.

 

The point is that everyone I speak to about THL these days seems to roll their eyes and say that it ain't what it was; and do you know? I think they're right.

 

Just thought I'd put my tuppence worth in before one of the moderators appears and suggests that the members should use the report button, and that they all have lives etc, etc,

 

Enough from me. I'll leave it to you (or should that be 'u' ) texting fans......

r.docks the reason the mods might not have givin you any feed back when you reporting people for useing text talk might because the reportbutton is not for that and not for a members 2 report another member about it thinks its down 2 a moderater 2 pull any members of text talking the only reason anyone would report someone is somethink is directed at you,me personally would,nt bother useing as its only the net and would just let the shit go over my head

 

If the 'report' button isn't for members to report other members breaking the forum rules then what the hell is it for??

 

Your post displays exactly what I mean (possibly deliberately). How hard is it to type the word 'to'??

 

I suppose we are going to have a flurry of 'grass' type posts now....

 

Anyway, I'm off for now. Have fun guys and gals,

There used to be a hard line on here years ago. But for some reason they stopped moderating as much.

It is a full time job moderating on here though with the amount of members and 'numpties', but they imo should take a harder stance against some of the posts.

just goes 2 show how small minded you are ,reporting members for text talking get a grip the mods are sick of you pestiing them,if thats your biggest reason for deleting members anyway if anyone get reported for text talk we all know how 2 point the finger at

[toby1066 413]

there are bigger problems than text talking its the least of the worrys on this site

[baw 4,360]

R docks, I personally think the mods are doing a fantastic job. They don't get paid btw, it's not the f*****g police laugh out loud. See if I was a mod, I'd ban all the c**ts who are consistent reporters. As if they haven't got better things to do than edit folks posts cos of a bit of text talk. You talk about the good posters who have left and yet you've been on here for 2 years and yet a fifth of your posts are on this thread. Are the rest complaints too?

I kind of have issues with the way some people write. The issue I have is that I just can't understand what they have written. I don't care how they write as long as I get what they are saying.

 

I understand that many people that like hunting have never seen the benefit of spelling and grammar but a little bit more effort would make a world of difference. If you make the effort the write something then you must feel its worth writing and it's pointless if no one can read it.

 

My only actual issue with the forum is the amount of guests on each thread. Maybe people should be required to be members to view the forums? The benefit would be that IPs of logged in members could be checked and IPs from businesses like PETA could be blocked.

There was a very similar thread posted recently (can be seen here), and guess what?

Keep pressing the report button guys and gals. You will notice a difference, the next thing is going to be a huge reduction of members that use text talk.

 

So what happened?

I know what you are saying, but some people are just born moaners, and I'm afraid this site is no longer a place for them. Falling out and piss taking is accepted, even encouraged , but those who are simply on here to voice constant negativity won't be on for long. Like i have said in an earlier post, you will notice a difference. We try to be fair and, indeed, i do try to send pm's rather than warnings. But sometimes you give 'em an inch, they take a yard.

Like i say, keep hitting the report button and i can assure you every report will be looked at.

Sometimes the best blooms come from the rose that has been pruned hard!

 

Please note the request for members to report rule breaking.

 

Yes, I agree there are worse things on here than text talking, but text talking is just a symptom of a much worse disease.

 

As for my membership, yes, I've only been a member using this ID for two years, but I used to be a member years ago and there is a huge difference in the forum now (as Moll says).

 

I choose not to post too much about my sporting activities these days, but that's because once bitten twice shy. Maybe when the big 'crackdown' actually happens (and the whole site isn't available to the general public) I will post more. Only yesterday I answered a request for help from another member, so please don't think that I just come on to moan.

 

If you read all my posts in this thread you will see that I agree with what the original poster said; more needs to be done.

Ok r docks, fair enough pal.

[SEAN3513 7]

the biggest problem is Forum trolls that repeatedly and deliberately post inflammatory, extraneous, or off-topic messages to bait or excite users into responding or to test the forum rules and policies, and with that the patience of the moderators. Their provocative behavior may potentially start arguments or other disturbances.

 

DO NOT FEED THE TROLLS !!!!

 

and has been said........please use the REPORTbutton ,if we are not aware how can we sort things ??

 

you may not think that anything has been done when you have reported something.....but there is a lot goes on behind the scenes that you dont see.
