Gaz_1989 9,539 Posted April 23, 2013 Report Share Posted April 23, 2013 So she's not 14 years old. That makes it all OK then does it? I don't think so.......... Your a mod so you more than most know what this forum is like, this forum has more banter and sexual comments than a stag night in Amsterdam That doesn't make it right Scot. There is a fine line between 'banter' and harassment. The problem is that some people post on forums in the same way as they would chat to a pal in the pub. That's fine, most of the time, but the internet doesn't offer the kind of anonymity that some folks think, and unlike the pub, every aspect of the conversation can be 'listened to' (read) and misinterpreted. When it's not fine, the authorities may take action against those they suspect of committing offences. And I'm not just talking about illegal hunting............... The role of moderator isn't just to be a big policeman and hit delete once in a while. Occasionally, it's better to just offer reminders of the harsh realities of living in a 'free country'. How in gods name can banter on an internet forum and harrassment have a fine line between them? No one is sending her messages or ringing her or stalking her. People are replying to an open thread and having a laugh. If this offends then dont log on and read. No one has been harrassed here. If she/he/you came to my place of work or came out for a mooch with me you would hear lots of sexual inuendos and banter of a similar nature. If you didnt like it then you would walk away. The same as you can choose not to log on and read or reply to posts that you dont like. If you think that someone has said something incriminating or degrading to the forum then surely you should delete this? Nothing I have said would bother me if it was read out in court. If she is a minor then she shouldnt of given a false date of birth when signing up. Just my take on it! Link to post
Gaz_1989 9,539 Posted April 23, 2013 Report Share Posted April 23, 2013 Your age and your dress size shouldn't matter on here. What is important is a passion for hunting, and in the case of this part of the site, running dogs. Ignore the idiots with brains which are only marginally larger than their penis size, and enjoy sharing information and learning. There are some very knowledgeable people on this site, and you will gain much from it if you give it a chance. I wish my brain was even close to being the size of my penis. I would be up their with einstein and steven hawkins! 1 Link to post
Gaz_1989 9,539 Posted April 23, 2013 Report Share Posted April 23, 2013 I am 30 I am a women I am size 14s I have a 2 yr old saluki x grey called star i cant get pics on of her as its saying my files are too big!!I dont no all that much about her no but I had her from a pup so she isnt stolen. Im not an anti I came on here to get advise and find sumone who wanted join me when out and about. I didnt come here to get abuse be picked on for being a women. You should be ashamed of yourselfs everyone has to start somewhere. I may not have as much experience as most of u out there but im trying . Forget I asked :-( If you are genuine then take the banter on the chin. Alot of us on here are used to antis signing up and pretending to be someone they are not. Aswell as loads of numptys joining up. Drop LaraCroft a PM, im sure she wont mind me saying so. She will tell you what the forum is like from a females perspective, she is a good laugh and gives as good as she gets (the banter that is ) All the best. Link to post
Matt 160 Posted April 23, 2013 Report Share Posted April 23, 2013 How is the OP harassing you? No, I don't think it's weird for people to ask for some company, and I don't see every request for company as some sort of sexual 'come on'. Do you come on here to hunt? How do you know I haven't PM'd the OP There is no excuse for some of the rubbish posted on this thread. Link to post

Tiercel 6,986 Posted April 23, 2013 Report Share Posted April 23, 2013 While I agree with what MTR and others have said. I don't think the OP helped herself with the title of the thread. Had she stated 'looking for a hunting partner' instead of "friend" I think the response would have been different. Each sport has it's own lanuage not knowing that lanuage singles you out as someone who does not know a lot about the sport. TC Link to post
baw 4,360 Posted April 23, 2013 Report Share Posted April 23, 2013 I think if she said partner it would have been worse. Too many pervs on here getting away with it. Look at what me and Stan done with that thread. c**ts were drooling FFs. Link to post

If she is a minor then she shouldnt of given a false date of birth when signing up. Just my take on it! How is it a fine line? Quite easily. Just look at the recent arrests resulting from Tweets made about Tom Daley the diver...... I'm not suggesting that it's right; but the law is quite straightforward; you are not anonymous on the internet, and if you post stuff that could be seen as harassment you may get a knock at the door......... Why haven't I (or anyone else) deleted this topic? Why should we? You are responsible for what you post, and you alone. Personally, I think that topics like this show people up for what they are. Being a moderator isn't just about hitting the delete key every five minutes! And nor should it be. Link to post

Had she stated 'looking for a hunting partner' instead of "friend" I think the response would have been different. Each sport has it's own lanuage not knowing that lanuage singles you out as someone who does not know a lot about the sport. TC I agree. There are two big problems with the internet. The first problem is that certain individuals think that they are anonymous from behind their keyboards and can post what they like online with little or no comeback. The second problem is that some members think that posting on here is the same as chatting in a pub or whatever. What you don't get with the written word is the body language that goes with a conversation, nor is their the privacy that you get when you whisper to your mate stood at the bar. That leads to misunderstandings, and people putting two and two together and getting five hundred and thirty nine. I've done it myself on this very thread when the OP said she was "14"........

staffsdoglady 7 Posted April 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2013 All this because I put friend insted of partner really.. Link to post
whippet 99 2,613 Posted April 23, 2013 Report Share Posted April 23, 2013 14 years old ? I don't remember seeing that ? (not commenting on the replies, just the age suggestion ) There ye go. Now, what is the name for people who make sexual advances to a minor??? And how many threads have we had regarding the type of person who tries it on with kids??? Think before you post peeps. Again - not commenting on the posts, just that I don't think anyone thought she was actually 14 years old when they replied. in all honesty i wouldnt of messed around jokingly if i thought she was 14 y o ....... far too old for my likeing.......... ok im sorry ive upset any one but firstly why wouldnt she be in education and secondly it would be wrong part of the forum there is a young hunters section which would of been more veasable Link to post
Matt 160 Posted April 23, 2013 Report Share Posted April 23, 2013 All this because I put friend insted of partner really.. No; all this because we have a few sex starved keyboard warriors that think that they can do as they please and say whatever they want. As I posted earlier; DLTBGYD. Link to post
