why do we want this forum to change?

RRRRRR Posts: 8,218 Officer
I am on other forums, and there is not even
one comment about changing them.

Why is there such an underlying and pervasive
desire to have this forum change?

    Because this is the internet. Where over zealous rules are not welcome. Bloody Decks. Need I say more? That forum is 100x more fun than this forum...except it's full of Left coasters.

    Some rules are fine, necessary, even preferred. You can't fart on here without being banned for a month. It's like nursery school here sometimes.

    I go to my other forums
    never worrying whether I am still a member there.

    But here. It's eggshells. What one moderator accepts
    another gets piissed off about. It's insane.

    The hull truth, micro skiff forum, custom gheenoe. All are fishing forums ,all which i frequent. None of those have these issues daily, like we do here... After a while you gotta start lookin at the lead horse. If someone post a topless pic , heck ya i would like it but this is a family forum.... Give them a timout and move on.... Some of you guys cant wait to move a post or post that dum a$$$ pic of a tanker, christ give a guy a break, not everyone is plugged directly into cnn/ fox
  • RRRRRR Posts: 8,218 Officer
    yeah the tanker pic
    is very dull

    very old, very worn out, very yesteryear...

    but the tanker pic is like this site

    slow to change...

    The Tanker is now, in fact...a Tanker.

    I just wish we could talk, act and be like we would sitting around at the bar BS'ing....instead it's more like cocktail hour at the Romney house; Diet Caffeine Free Coke and Glutten Free Oreo's.

    I frequent other forums. Some where anything and everything is allowed(except ponies, they have their own board). Some where it's normal human(sometimes sub-human) conversation like BD. Then there's this forum where like you said...you're treadin' on egg shells.

    What keeps me coming back after each ban is the people here. There's good people here and it's not an anonymous website. I've met, hung out and had a lot of fun with numerous people from the forum. I wouldn't go hang out with anyone on 4chan...

    Great website. Fantastic forum. I wish I could combine the people from this forum, with the "culture of moderation" on BD. It would be so much more fun. I am an adult. I can disagree and call my friend an ******* ****** **** worshiping **** lover.....and still be friends at the same time.

    How many members, who are parents, walk in to see their child reading anything on this forum? As far as I know, the last child that was on here was FishingKid. It should be the parents responsibility, not a fishing forums.

    THT created a paid adult portion. They aggressively pursue aholes and **** posters in open areas. Maybe we need a pay non advertiser OT here? Who would pay? I did on tht.

    This has been discussed before and I would support that here, BTW if you are a paid member, why are here versus there? This answer may help promote that here.

    Same question, then why are your here complaining about this place versus there? Looking for a serious answer to take the request to the next level.

    much smarter boat people there but not many locals. Too many Yankees. Here we just have a few remote idiots here plus i would miss GT too much if I stayed on THT all the time. I rarely go to their lounge... I can't get **** elsewhere.
    So i am on both.

    what am I complaining about? I think for the most part the moderation is reasonable for a division of a large media company. The THT, microskift etc are NOT. There are some exceptions exceptions it if it bothered me that much I wouldn't come here. All those other place are available.. ???
    Oh and I have a FS subscription so though I do not PAY to be on here I support the magazine that makes it possible.
    I enjoy other forums with formerly no moderation as well.

    FS will never allow even a private paid section where **** can be posted. They would still set strict limits and people would still push them. Which would mean that the only way to deal with the problem would still be to moderate it.
  • capt.natecapt.nate Posts: 2,359 Captain
    tater nailed it. tht's boating forum contributors have way more knowledge that fs's boating forum contributors. but this places ot crowd is more fun than tht's when we are allowed to do what we do. look at the spin off forums. there are several fs spin offs and no tht spin offs that i am aware of.

    that and the **** yankees over there...

    look.... tht has the "bilge" as well as "Captains Club Forum" and "The Sand Bar". the later 2 are for paid members and you get this message before entering the bilge....... "You have entered The Bilge. Content in here can be harsh and not as controlled as other forum areas. Posts which include inflammatory/discriminatory remarks, or attacks of a personal nature are prohibited and may result in the poster being permanently banned." then you are prompted to type "yes" before entering.

    it works very well.
