Good morning Gents.... How many of y'all had cornbread last night? I had the wife make a pot of axis chili and a pot of pintos and some of her great jalapeno cornbread. I don't usually start wanting it b4 the weather turns cooler, but for some mysterious reason I have been craving cornbread lately. Anybody else?

Jiffy cornbread or homemade ?

X2 made some good friends here but it's just *****ing now.

This is awesome. Almost reminds me of watch the presidential debate. Maybe even more interesting. This is why this site is steadily going to crap.

Homemade of course.......The Jiffy stays in the boat for tourney time.

See, that's why nobody wants to post on here. People who spend way too much time trying to think up comebacks to people's innocent posts and comments.

Sounds like we may go to zero because I have no interest in going back on what started this site which is to allow at least some fun and more open conversation with less moderation. There is no bashing on fishing or hunting reports people that do receive infractions and are banned.

Regulate, regulate, regulate. For the sake of
Pete, it's a website for People to log onto for entertainment/knowledge for free if you choose. How can anyone whine and complain about something free to them???? Buy the site from Casey and run it how you want or don't log on or ****.

We have 620 guest looking right now on site...


Must of had more links sent to other websites

what does a website like this sell for these days???????????????????


im not thinking of buying it, but I am curious what that initial investment would need to be to take it over

About $899,000.00 but I'm sure Casey will take $299,000.00.

That's a lot of money!!!

I don't know casey but my view of what the reasons they stated for starting this website were mainly because of sportsmans moderators selectively enforcing rules and allowing unchecked trolling by a certain group there to get so out of hand as to be running people off of the website and if anyone dared to speak up about it, they got banned for doing so.


hate to say it but the trolling here has gotten just as bad if not worse then at sportsman and the only real difference here is the moderators aren't involved with it.


the trolling of fishing and hunting report sections are not allowed, but that should also extend to the other forums as well because they have the gill net forum for that stupidity. why must the stupidity be allowed everywhere except 5% of the website?


people don't expect the report sections to be the only safe place to post and have an intelligent discussion about things without being harassed or have threads hijacked by trolls. if that is the case then you have decided you don't want people to be free to post things for discussion if you are saying you wont prevent trolls from screwing up those discussions.


no one is saying crack down on posts but a simple rule of not hijacking threads and staying on topic is not to much to ask. and you don't need to ban anyone over it, the magic deletion fairy works very well for us at other websites where I moderate and there is no restriction on what people feel then can say or post because they know the very basic rules to follow which are do and say what you want but no trolling, cursing, or hijacking of threads. those 3 simple rules do not fly in the face of what and why this site was created

So what's your point?

Plot twist. The trolls that were banned at Louisiana sportsman were the ones who started this site. #mindblown

Actually this site was started because there were a small group of people that got banned from las for speaking the truth. It was a whole site of trolls and people jacking with each other for the first year. It actually got toned down a lot after Casey bought it and is still nowhere near the amount of people messing with each other.

Please S T F U !!!!

Sincerely,

The Moderators....

Isn't this a double post.. Nevermind

Hahaha

Yes, our primary job needs to be deleting stupid posts from stupid posters and our secondary job needs to be to bring home a pay check so we can afford our first job.

1 mod is retired and has a family.
2 mods have straight day jobs and families.
Casey basically works 24 hours a day and is very active in his family's life.
I work a 12 hour shift and have a family also.

Why can't everybody just report the posts they find offensive. We'll take a look at it and if we feel action is required, we'll take it. It really is that easy. We get 1 or 2 posts reported per month.

thank you!!

Bet you don't ban the cry baby.

I think the trolls on this site, for the most part, ARE the intelligent ones, and they're answering posts that are anything but intelligent...just my two cents.

ASR completely blows my argument out of the water, though.

I don't post as much as I should, but don't fish as much either.

Quality posts have gone down but still the best fishing sight in La. Thanks for keeping the site running.

fixed it for you

very true, if a post isn't reported, then they cant expect mods to read and follow every thread and read every post there.


if they don't report it, they cant complain about it, but at the same time, if a mod is posting in the thread on the same page or within a few posts of someone troll posting, then its hard to believe they don't see it. it doesn't or shouldn't require a reported post before a mod feels he is permitted to simply post a reply asking to stay on topic please.


im sure many might think "well just add more mods", but as we know its not easy to find the right kind of person who has the temperament AND maturity to be a good mod. perhaps another mod that has more free time to spend on the site might help, but as you stated, the posts need to be reported so the mods are made aware someone has a complaint.

We don't read every damn post. If there is an issue, report the thread/post as Paul said and we'll look at it.

Might go down as one of the best all time post :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

yes I was at LAS and watched all that go down, it was pretty sad the way people were treated.


I think many of the trolls from LAS came over here in the beginning just to cause a lot of trouble.


its a shame that some here think its fun to use this site as a form of entertainment to troll others for fun and run off new members.

BINGO !

Internet = Entertainment

It can be entertainment in some cases ... doesn't mean it has to be disrespectful as it is in most cases here.


In my opinion a lot of that stuff should be saved for the gillnet where you know what your getting into if that's what form of entertainment you like and not open forum. To me it just brings negativity to the site.

Forums need to have some spice for people to come here. As has been stated on here at least 10 times this week. If you feel a post was not appropriate report it. There is a icon above every post that says report post. I can tell you the people that can actually do something about it are not reading every post on this site. You guys assume we let stuff go when actually we probably didn't even know about it. If it offends you report the post. If we think you need thicker skin we will ignore you then you can get upset. Looking at the reported posts have you EVER reported one? My records say no you have not but I could be wrong. REPORT THE POSTS THAT HURT YOUR FEELINGS.That is all.

Report The post

"Report the post"

%report%the%post

+Report+THE=POST

So. What you're saying is we should report the post?

#ReportThePost

well how do you feel about this post directed at me then?

where did I ever get rude or cross the line in any way to deserve to be treated this way by one of your moderators with the claim it was on behalf of all of your moderators?


he is your moderator here speaking on behalf of ALL the moderators, and this is the public image presented to all members of this websites stance on the matter, if someone objects to, or wants to discuss the trolling that goes on at this site.


after this, you actually want anyone to believe reporting to moderators with public attitudes such as this, will ever do any good?

Yes.Bluechip is fair. He is messing with you.

Did you push on the icon and report the post? If so, then Shut the fork up ...If not, then do so and then shut the fork up

well I really couldnt care less about that comment but cant you see how that reads to new members?


you asked why people leave and quit posting and things like that don't represent this site well and people take a look at stuff like that and move on not wanting to be a part of this website if that's what they see here.


I have no reason to think any of the moderators are not fair, but I have no way of knowing if its a joke or serious but if it was serious and I report it, to who? him?


assuming I wanted to report it it goes something like this, "im reporting this post in which your moderator said blah blah blah and I didn't like it." so the moderator I have a problem with is the same guy im asking to reprimand himself?????????????


you have to see where in this particular special situation that the idea of being able think anything can come from reporting something like that just seams silly.

Some times you just lose..... We do not give out participation trophies please refer to post #119 for details.

I see your point.Report the post.

I get it, and none of this stuff bothers me at all, if it did I would have left years ago, but the discussion is about why members stop posting and contributing and why new member leave and don't come back.


if the site isn't seen as a place to be able to post freely without trolls bothering them then people wont stay, and if they don't stay they wont be here to contribute or even join as premium members to help support the site.


an atmosphere that promotes running people off is not a way to grow a website and make it more sustainable, its that simple.

You didn't just refer him to the post that did not get reported, did you? Shame on you Blue. How about we take your Mod privileges away for 10 minutes? LoL[emoji33]
