Reports & Classifieds / Housekeeping

[ckinchen]

Just to make sure that we are all clear on the rules of these sections.

Reports - The only comments that should be in a fishing report are either a question to the original poster which they can choose to either answer or ignore or a compliment. DO NOT correct the original poster, question the size of their fish, bash the poster, criticize their boat or anything about them in the report. If people cannot live by these rules we will go to a system similar to another site in which reports are closed for comments. I hate that system but we will move to it if we have to. This rule applies to all reports, reports by members and guides. People do not want to be embarrassed publically.

Classified Section - Businesses that are non sponsors are not allowed to post here. Forum members can post here to sale random items but if more than one of a similar item is being sold repeatedly (trying to sell rods or reels more than one every two months or so other than for rare exceptions that should be approved by a mod) you may be considered a "business" and need to sponsor the site. We have sponsors on the site that are not happy about paying sponsorship fees to see other businesses post for free.

DO NOT bash someone about a price for merchandise. If you think it is too expensive, do not buy it and move on. No negative comments will be allowed.

General - Do not call people out in the public forums. If you have an issue with someone send them a PM please. Also to a certain extent you can take it to the gill net. Never publicly question a moderator or administrator even in the gill net, all of the moderators are reasonable people. If you have a question or even a complaint, please send a PM and we will be glad to work with you.
