For the regulars
I've noticed quite a few threads lately about behaviour on the forum & I see some of the regulars posting about how they are sick of seeing abuse & negativity being posted. I find that quite amusing seeing as it is those exact same regulars that put me off this site in the first place with all thier negative comments, that's why I havn't posted for a couple of months & why I'll go back to not posting again right after this. I'm not lumping all the regulars in this heap so please don't misunderstand me, it's only 6 or so of them that seem to think they can post whatever they like but that they also have the right to tell others off for posting similar or less offensive things. Maybe Adam should take a closer look at past posts when (if) he gets the time & get rid of these regulars that think thier way is the only way & get stuck into anyone that has a different opinion to thier own. Just because you have been on here for a long time does not give you the right to talk down to other members & if Adam is aware of who you are perhaps he should stop cutting you slack just because you are a regular.
& for anyone that doesn't know once your kicked off the forum it is your IP address that is blocked so unless you change that, your gone for good. There's none of this joining under another user name crap.
I'll see you again if those few regulars that think they are better than everyone else get booted or pull thier heads in.

I admit I don't read all the
I admit I don't read all the posts on here so I must miss heaps of comments .. but why not tell the person to back off if they are being a pain ? Or ask Adam to sort it .. you can't expect Adam to go into every thread every day and wipe away everyone's tears .. stand up for yourself at the time and say enough is enough ... no harm in sending someone a PM saying back off .. if it gets out of control then alert Adam to the problem ..

My 20 cents worth
Just my opinion and I don't want to be shot down in flames for saying so, but
I this site has been around for a long time now. I am sure 99% of members will agree Adam has and does do a great job with maintaining it and monitoring it.
I don't really see that much negativity but maybe I just don't notice it as much as some others.
At the end of the day we are all here because of our love for fishing and the outdoors.
If people want to be keyboard warriors and think they are hot sh@t then in the long run they only make themselves look stupid.
I don't have any issue with most of the content on here and always find most of the posts very informative.
If people don't like what some content of what others post then a simple pm to the moderators would suffice.
As I said Adam has done a great job with the site and trying to say he turns a blind eye to some things cos people have been members for a long time sounds like garbage to me.

Think you need to man up
Think you need to man up Graeme.
Grow a thicker skin. this is a big playground.
negative / positive , it all makes the forum. If we all agreed , it'd be pretty boring
If I spent half as long fishing , as I do reading this bloody forum , I'd be twice the fisherman I am.

i dont think your quite
i dont think your quite getting the point. Its really a case of ppl thinking they know everything. i agree with you though without the negative and positive stuff this site wouldnt be as good. And like sherbet posted a few days ago about a member who has caught alot of great fish but does not want to post it becos of the stupid things people have to say. If members on here are to reluctant to posting pics and reports becos of peoples 'know it all attitude' and negative comments, what is this site good for???

everyone has their own
everyone has their own opinion on things. everyone is allowed to do so. i have been on here for some time now and yes there are a few that speak out a bit louder than others but if it was causing disturbances it would be sorted out just like last week where it got out of hand and as a result there was at least 1 that was evicted. over the time on here i have seen a lot get booted due to the stiring or continuous negativity. there will always be that no matter where you go .it comes down to how you deal with it. some might take critisism the wrong way and some will just take it on the chin and get on with life.

I haven't posted a lot on
I haven't posted a lot on this forum, but i think what it comes down to is people seem to love drama. I know I find it pretty entertaining at times. But I do think it is more important to concentrate on what the site is really about and just occasionally laugh at the odd dickhead that pops up here and there.

Aren't we all adults
yes must agree think if you don't like the negativity, move on, ignore the twits. As my mother always said to me, "Stck your nose up in the air and walk away, as this hurts the bullies, negative words more than having a go at them etc." So I do that and hopefully it has worked. Love looking at what the young ones put up either fishing from a boat or from the rocks, good photos and encouragement should be on the cards for them, not negativity from older adults that should know better.
Hopefully old fart and I will be putting up some nice photos of fish caught within the next couple of months, as due to his eyes (haven't been in the boat for 2yrs) will be out fishing soon, yahoooooooooo so fellas watch out for kenny kodak here taking photos of our good catches.

awesome
Another thread to resolve what has been resolved, point duly noted. I have two points of view, one is to maintain order - the other is to read about fishing and enjoy my sport. I like to focus more on the good stuff (been some bloody excellent reports and photos lately) shame that a few lately seem to focus more on the negatives.
If you receive an offensive PM from someone, find something distasteful, have a problem - just send me a PM with the details and I'll look into it.
I can see where this one is going to head, as said above, got a problem - let me know.
Cheers,
Adam
