TreeWalker Posted February 11, 2005 Report Share Posted February 11, 2005 Re: It stops now Clean debates are not deleted......and neither are clean opinions.......but when both turn into derogitory comments or name calling which leads to personal attacks....ya, then it will get whacked.... Just like this post, you all are a vast minority in the grand scheme of things, and we as moderaotrs know we can not keep everyone happy.......these changes and edits are not a personal thing so quit making them out to be........the job we have to do is thankless, and I will apologize for myself and the others, if when things are moved or edited, that a message isn't sent first...........we don't get to sit at the PC as much as you all might like to think, and we sure don't get paid.......we just do as much as we can with little time we have........with well over 10,000 members I hope you realize alot of things get missed, and unfortunately we end up catching some things to late......but it is better to correct the wrongs later on, then to let them snowball and get out of hand....... We've all been part of other forums that have gone down hill, because the rules were allowed to relax.....it's the death sentence of many boards.....we're not about to let it happen hear, because i think we all as members have a good thing going here.....the best hunting board on the net.........with your help we can keep it that way.....

TreeWalker Posted February 11, 2005 Report Share Posted February 11, 2005 Re: It stops now And ADK.....it may have very well been me that moved it.......it's been such a mess lately trying to get things straightened out, I can't recall.......I normally try to send a message when changes are made.......the last couple I haven't, and if one of these was your's i apologize Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carbonhunter Posted February 11, 2005 Report Share Posted February 11, 2005 Re: It stops now [ QUOTE ] .it was the bickering which led to persoanl attacks on carbon/aluminum [/ QUOTE ] there ya go.........i keep out of all this and ya got to go bringing me into it. To be honest some of the smart*** remarks some of the moderators use in here are prob. taken to be very offensive. I know I've read several that if the remark would have been aimed at me would have gotten a PM right quick. We have had women and men pictures(fully clothed) in here for the entire 1 1/2 years Ive been a memeber. Only now has it suddenly become offensive. One way to look at it buckee's job just got a whole lot easier.....the political room is gonna be one big blank page. My .02 and Im done with the whole topic.

SaskMan Posted February 11, 2005 Report Share Posted February 11, 2005 Re: It stops now Obviously I missed abunch, I threw in my 2 cents worth yesterday and checked today and apparently stuff had hit the fan. I still don't really see the problem and for this post some people will likely get mad at me but I don't care, I speak my mind, my "open mind" not a closed one. I see things on here all the time I don't agree with but big deal, I don't look, read and worry about them. I'm sure many topics offend people as much as the discussed one had, why shouldn't we pull them all? I'm not a religious man, should I be upset at the Christian one lines???I think not!!! I'm not sure who said it but "this is a hunting forum", hintng the Martin girls had no place in it. If this is indeed true, does Bumper stickers, Walmart, Ms. Pacman, Camo Caskets,???? The list goes on and on. I know so many guys are going to be thinking, "that Saskman, he's a real piece of work" but come on, I make up my mind what to read on here, can't everybody else, it's just clean fun. You try spending a winter in the dark cold without a little fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gator Posted February 11, 2005 Report Share Posted February 11, 2005 Re: It stops now SASKMAN, I totally agree with everything you have said. Problem is, I may not find something offensive that you may, and guess what, if you complain to someone, what I post may get deleted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TreeWalker Posted February 11, 2005 Report Share Posted February 11, 2005 Re: It stops now The lounge is a place for off the topic discussion......unfortunately we are the ones that have to amke the call on which topics may be acceptable and which ones are not........ If we get one or maybe two pms from members complaining, but a slug og members have taken part in the discussion, then we don't see it as a problem............it's when we get repeated complaints and even to the point of members quiting, that is time to look alittle harder at those subjects........... It's not an easy job, and we can't please everyone.........and like the topics that have gotten edited or deleted, this has gotten blown way out of proportion.....some of which is my fault.

JimT Posted February 11, 2005 Report Share Posted February 11, 2005 Re: It stops now [ QUOTE ] Clean debates are not deleted [/ QUOTE ] Yes, they are actually. When an entire thread which holds merit is deleted because of a few bad posts, it is a deleted clean debate. Some people can talk themselves into anything it seems. Anyways, I am done gabbing about this. The mods may have won the war, but lost all the battles. Kinda like VietNam. So, until the next nice looking woman comes along, or one which is showing a little more skin than an arabian woman...................

[/ QUOTE ] Once again, it is clearly easier in those rare cases to just simply delete the whole thread, because history here has proven that another similar or identicle topic will be posted shortly..... Another reason whole topics are deleted instead of mass editing, is we don't want to show favoritism.....we delete a bad post, but a fence rider is let go...then we have a whole other issue to deal with. If all members would conduct themselves appropriately and maturely, we wouldn't have any problems........you can't avoid differences in opinions or beliefs, that's what this country was founded on....but when it resorts in silly name calling or inappropriate comments, then unforunately we have to step in from time to time.........it's not personal, but some members are making it out to be that way.......we are not picking on anyone, we're just trying to keep this site clean and informative. And it takes you as members to police your own actions.........and that's what the beauty of Private Messages are.........if things get down and dirty....take it to the PM's and keep it out of the forums......it would save the life of alot of replies and topics...

dartonman Posted February 11, 2005 Report Share Posted February 11, 2005 Re: It stops now Im actually suprised that I am seeing some of the posts I have seen...Im kinda saddened and frustrated in some ways....I do hope this ends soon, because I'd do about anything for most of you, and some I have.....I just hope it ends soon enough...this is a great site, and the people that come here are the reason for it......now put the guns and gloves on the shelf, and lets call it a day....Im praying for the ones who are in need of it, and we really need to look at the big picture here...Ill quit rambling, just read the posts that are deserving of your undivided attention, and those who are suffering enough, not to see a bunch of grown men and women making something out of well...you know...........al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buckbuster11 Posted February 11, 2005 Report Share Posted February 11, 2005 Re: It stops now For what its worth, I think the mods do a great job. I trust that they are making the calls based on what they feel is right for the site...and thats all I can ask for, whether I agree with it or not. Does looking at the Martin girls offend me?...heck no....but if its offensive to somebody else and someone feels it is inappropriate on these forums then its no sweat off my back. I can just hop to another site to look if I need to that badly (which I dont). I cant believe this is getting so overblown... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mods, do your things but remember, when you do your "Thing", do it smartly so this doesn't happen again....we know we had a few of you stressed out in here today TSBH SIGNING OFF....for this topic anyway Oh yeah, let me get one more of these in OK, thats it.
