johnny boy68 11,726 Posted June 7, 2011 Report Share Posted June 7, 2011 What do you think,should people wanting to join THL be vouched for? Its just I've noticed of late that there seems to be a lot more "wrong uns" joining.I'm not sure that this would even be feasible for admin and mods to implicate.Though could go some way to stopping the persistant scamming and peddling that seems to be dragging the site down. Any suggestions as to what could be done to eliminate some of the detrimental stuff that seems to be filling the site lately. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Richie10 345 Posted June 7, 2011 Report Share Posted June 7, 2011 What's the point it's a public forum, make it private and then have people vouched for. Anyone to vouch for you? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

PeakOil 352 Posted June 7, 2011 Report Share Posted June 7, 2011 No - but only deal with people who have been around for more than two years and every other post isn't in the sales sections. I would have some sort of feedback system like ebay where buyers and sellers can rate what trading / dealing with another user is like. If a relatively new user pops up, is 'busy' posting to get their post count up in a short space of time, then selling stuff I always avoid em like the plague, especially if they have 1989 in their user name and lack basic English. Touch wood, I have never been scammed in 10 years of using various forums, but the dirty scamming twats need a knock on the door and a good kicking. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I could probably get a few to vouch for me......can you? :tongue2: It would be better for those who have mates that are already on, and better for those already on. Not better for someone interested in field sports wanting to learn etc and at the end of the day this is what is needed for the future. and not better for someone that goes out on their own antis would most likely get on regardless eventually and then vouch for each other and regardless of private or not all posts would still need to be on the right side of the law anyway 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gaz_1989 9,539 Posted June 7, 2011 Report Share Posted June 7, 2011 I thought about suggesting this a couple of years ago after I had a couple of obvious Antis sending me messages. The problem is, there are alot of decent folk on here who keep themselves to themselves and couldn't get vouched for. Until last year I hadn't met anyone off here. Also, just say I am an Anti, and I get in cuz ive been on here for a while and know a few people on here. Then I could vouch for 10 other antis. Once one got in we would be where we are now. And if we were so strict to keep them all out then we would end up keeping genuine lads out and have a very small forum indeed. Gaz 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

gnasher16 30,534 Posted June 7, 2011 Report Share Posted June 7, 2011 Why ...its a public internet forum not some exclusive club !...i never understand why folk get so wound up by posts they dont have to read,you dont walk into a pub and find somebody who is talking about something you dont like and tell them you dont like what they are saying,you just go and talk to someone else nobody forces you to read something its your finger that clicks on it nobody elses. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
malone 1 Posted June 7, 2011 Report Share Posted June 7, 2011 i presume the more members the more the site is worth in monetary value so from a sites prospectus its better the way it is, Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest jt750 Posted June 7, 2011 Report Share Posted June 7, 2011 No one knows me ..i know no fooker ..no one to vouch for me where else could i do me summer hunting and winter hard man act ... Make the place better ? No new members until the knobs are banned around 2 days should do it ..strict ip filter in place ..every new member to be verified by the admin instead of just a verification link ..but hey that's just my opinion and counts for fook all like everything ...

Paid 935 Posted June 7, 2011 Report Share Posted June 7, 2011 I voted no, as there are plenty of forums that you need to be vouched for, and they don't have 1/4 of the traffic this one does. The place wouldn't be the same without the messers, retards and antis that this place is so well known for 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CarraghsGem 92 Posted June 7, 2011 Report Share Posted June 7, 2011 about the only lads who could vouch for me arent on the web, they would have had to join thl, be vouched for by a few members on here, then vouch for me so i could come on, im still learning about many aspects of hunting, i wasnt born into a hunting family,i only started hunting when i was 20, there are a lot of things id like to speak openly about on thl, a lot of pictures id like to post but due to hunting being such a taboo subject in the mainstream and antis watching sites like this in order to use images we post against us i wont take that risk, those that do are idiots Quote Link to post Share on other sites
