socks 32,253 Posted September 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 I can understand members getting fed up when they see post after post about "mitzy" playing happily, but a post like this that wants shot of "pet owners" then seems to creep into "anti's" as well, lets think about it here, would an anti show themselves like that, start posting stuff that would attract attention to themselves and get them a ban, or would they keep quite, maybe pretend to be a hunter so they fit in, it would be very easy to do such a thing, the same as this site having lots of armchair hunters, where do we draw the line shall we have a seperate set of rules, maybe you would need to be vertified by another, to prove you have ferreted, or post a set amount of "topics" per month, not just replies to stay a member Im sure we'd start getting moaning posts then, if someone got deleated, as for the remark of "mods doing their job", the word job sounds like we get paid for it we dont, we do it free of charge, in between all our other stuff,ie work,sleep,eat,hunting ourselves, oh and looking through loads of new posts each day, trying to sort out the good and bad amongst you all, work it out for yourselves, divide the daily post count between mods and you'll get my point, or not out of interest, should I deleate and ban myself I keep ferrets for ferreting, but my daughter has 2 pet ferrets that live in the front room, I dont post their funny antics and what they get upto on here, as they are not "hunting ferrets" but admit to letting a few get posted, if I know they too are proper ferreters it doesnt take the brains of an arch bishop to see which posters are genuine hunters and which are not and as a mod on here you should know who is who and be able to say yep they are only pet and show keepers and add nothing but fluffy nonsence to every thread put up ... its easy really you hunt or not and if you dont bye bye .......... as for your modding duties i know all about them as i mod on moochers but i mod the whole board not just one section and i manage to do that ok inbetween everything else i have to do .............

wabbithunter_15 0 Posted September 23, 2008 Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 (edited) let them come on and maybe they can learn what we actually do? they get an insight into the world of hunting and learn how we actually operate, who knows maybe even convert a few, with people offering to take them out etc etc. some hunters also show their working ferrets, and go to ferret racing events as a hobby which is great, why knock them? if there not doing any harm and arnt anti hunting why should we be bothered?

wabbithunter_15 0 Posted September 23, 2008 Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 ok fair enough i would like to see more articles about hunting , but the hunting season has only just started, and with the weather as it is, with the rain etc it isnt really the time to go out..... as the weather improves and we move further into the season im sure we will see more genuine hunting articles , instead of fluffy the ferret pics.
