Should we close the Reports section on these boards? - Striper Talk Striped Bass Fishing, Surfcasting, Boating

How bout a "post your fish pix" forum instead. Pic is worth 1000 words.
Pix will bring u more bus. too.

A pics forum is a great idea.Kinda like a bragging rights room without actually any bragging.Everybody(almost) likes to look at picture of decent fish.And if there's anything in the pic that could reveal a spot its pretty easy to edit it with Paint.

If something like that were private - it would be for all members that like a few members have suggested, reached a minimum level of posts and a minimum level of membership time. Those would be reasonable levels as well.

That's certainly not a bad idea.Access to all who meet the minumum requirements makes sense to me.

It may also strike a better balance between the "there are no secrets" camp and the "see nothing say nothing camps"

Eben - If you wish to discuss a process or policy for S-B, please make it S-B specific...

Thanks,

ok. i deleted my last post.. my suggestion is that you make a sticky at the top of the forum posting guidlines to follow- Ask that the report poster focus more about the fishing and less about the location- list a town, but not a location within that town.

If you ask this of those who want to post a report, i believe they will follow it.

Pictures would be great too, but anyone can post a pic attached to their report post, so why not leave the report forum the way it is and simply put a thread with guidlines..

I think pix and nothing else would solve most problems.
Putting up a "Rule" sticky won't do squat IMO.
Who follows rules? Not many.
Just pix, no words.

Yes, this has been the policy here for a long time, though less defined on the forums and it has been stickied and threaded in the past...

Of course, I'm glad when I saw you come around a while back on listing the town names instead of spots like in the early days (I used to do it too

- I think most of us have)...
