WOW!

Oh chit..... inmates running the asylum! You, my friend, are overly qualified to be timekeeper for the Sinbin, having amassed more cyberspace penalty minutes/months than anyone I know! When you pull the trigger, someone's pants are on fire and you are under their skin before they even know they're engaged! As moderator, I expect you will have a charter and a "How To" thread on the ethics of flame warfare! Hell, Ben why not a website of your own?:wave:

A major reason I check out the southern site is to see if you're playing or on the sidelines!:rolleyes:

Jenn 11-08-2007 06:53 PM

A lot of interesting points made and I will add my 2 cents...if you want it or not!
I dont want to speak for John but he has never made it a secret that he wants a "family friendly" site. To be completely honest with you I cant beleive he has been able to hold those reigns for as long as he has!!! To have kept that integrity intact with the amount of members that could post anything at anytime is pretty impressive.

While I completely agree that people should be held accountable for what they type I think there is definately a time when some threads/posts need purging...but NOT necessarily for the benefit of the person posting but for the benefit of keeping the INTEGRITY of the SITE intact. We all know how things snowball.

Maybe instead of complaining that a thread was deleted we should all take a look at the bigger picture.......

zacs 11-08-2007 07:19 PM

Jenn is probably right...

You better be real nice to Jenn or she'll have smackdown power over you real soon :musc:

Slingah 11-08-2007 09:26 PM

I believe things have actually gotten better here. Like Jenn said, John has always stated that he wanted this to be a family friendly site so then some of the crap has to be deleted to have it that way.
The people who regularly read and post here most likey have already formed thier opinons of who they like or dislike. No need to move the trash from one barrel to another.
Lock if it is getting out of hand to avoid the pigpile and delete it if goes overboard.
As is.

People need to be respectful of others plain and simple
a little "group think" might not be such a bad thing...it's just a fishing forum after all.

JohnR 11-08-2007 10:17 PM

I don't think group think is necessary at the expense of original ideas. Go out on a limb with your ideas. The problem we are having is not in restricting someone's ability to voice an idea or people voicing their ideas. Usually the stuff that gets squashed is because of the pigpile and nastiness just getting stupid. I do think pi$$ing contests for sport can be pretty stupid.

Clammer 11-09-2007 12:38 AM

Jenn can do me a smackdown >> ANYTIME /EVERYTIME >>:humpty::humpty:

riverrat55 11-09-2007 07:36 AM

I don't know who said this "If we are not man enough to accept different views of others, then we really are not man enough.
We all have different ideas about things, but to put someone down for their view is not rational. Just present your view and agree to disagree and move on.

Tagger 11-09-2007 01:07 PM

I vote ,,, Romper Room ..... password needed .. only thugs need apply .. It all stays in there ..

Jenn 11-09-2007 05:45 PM

well I am glad my opinion was pretty well accepted! I am all for voicing opinions but if there were complete and totaly "free reign" I dont know that it would be the great site that it is. I havent browsed the other sites in YEARS....because of the stupidity.

If you post it stand by it. I don't like the fact that posts are deleted with no reason given.

Mike P 11-10-2007 09:32 PM

I really expected better from some of the people here :doh:

Three threads today, I had to moderate. On a Saturday when there's a handful of active threads going on :hs:

Some people really need to grow up.

If I step in to stop a fight, don't start it up again in a different thread :af:

I read a story about this woman in Nome, Alaska whose husband lost it one night, went into the center of town in his underwear and started shooting a shotgun off.
What bothered her was not that he went out-of-control drunk, but rather that it was only November.

JohnR 11-11-2007 04:19 PM

Why the need for all the fights? Is it because we want the sport of it? Or do we just want to see a good bloodbath or train wreck? Or because so and so made fun of my friend, I'll get him?

To hear that some people tell me there are less fights here than other places, I dunno, seems like too many here.
