Rizzo - glad you figured it all out that we have agendas here and are taking care of our pals... Now seriously, we're almost in a no-win situation here. Some people say we leave the crap up too long, some say we should never edit/delete anything. Some people like to take shots or stir the pot for grins and giggles, while other, GOOD contributors don't want to anymore because of all the mickey mouse going on.
Like Mike said - we are doing this as we go - this is not something that pays anyone's mortgage or pocket change. Having started this site and doing most of the work, certainly behind the scenes, I don't make enough doing this to pay for my gas in my truck for a year. The other guys do this this for free because they care AND they are competent, good characters and are very fair and even handed at what they do. These guys don't go around as the all knowing self-appointed experts that many sites have, they just act here as they do everywhere else they are in life - class acts.
As for editing posts - I might just turn off all editing after 2 minutes
but that cure might be worse than the disease. A lot of posts get moved to purgatory and some get cleaned and come back. (Damn - I just had to edit this one
)
Now - how to get this site back on track? People - like you and everyone else - just remeber, this is a fishing community that is supposed to be a good site, where people get along, don't get trashed - it's not a sport. So for those stirring up the crap - PLEASE knock off the threats, name calling, barbs, vendettas, boistering, et al. Also, always remember that what one person types might not type out like they meant or come across unintentionally in a bad way, and when someone else reads it, they don't digest it like the original intent. Most people here (me included) are not wordsmiths. Besides, there is way too much important stuff going on in life (especially now) not to have a little slice you can enjoy NOT at someone else's expense.
So please everyone, remember that this is your community and you get out what you tend to put in so if everyone would be a little more understanding and not take things too seriuosly, it will be a better more enjoyable place. Fall Run is here people - GO FISH!!!!!!!
Thanks,
John
