10lb trout thread and bashing

[ckinchen]

The thread that is now in the gill net was not a fishing report, a member posted a picture of the fish to get a reaction and that is what happened. Some of you posted that you do not post reports because of bashing. I challenge you as a member to report (use the triangle button that is on the upper right hand of every post) any bashing of fihsing reports to let the moderators know about it.

Moderators are not paid and each of us has a full time job. The moderators do what they do only because they love this site. If you are one of the people saying you do not post because........... Stop blaming others and do something about it if you really care. Under my watch I can tell you with certainty that there has never been a report that was reported that did not result in a infraction or ban, never. I do not read every report and I do not plan to and neither do my mods. Report the post and people will be dealt with.

I really value the members that post reports and information, you are the guys I consider assets of the site, (that and every premium member)others are using bandwidth. Give back and post a report. If someone gets bashed on a report and it is reported and we do nothing, then you finally have a reason to cry about it.

We are light years ahead of where we were this time last year but those of you making false claims are really starting to bother me so I'm calling you out.

I call it like I see it, six months ago when bashing was a problem I told you we would clean it up and we did. Now it is not and I am sick of the crying.

Good night......

Additionally if the site were perfectly pc and g rated it would be boring and people would stop coming here.

I want people to respect each other and we do not allow bashing or rude comments on a report if you see one please report it and I promise you it will be handled accordingly.

Thanks for all that you guys do and please keep posting reports, we need them.
