Pretty sad really, have had someone try the same rubbish on me, as you have said they seem to be cowards and do it by PM.

Personally I am similar to you and get along with most people and I would like to contribute to this site.

I reckon that the biggest problem is that you can join a site like this as an anonymous user, hey I am more then willing to post

pictures of my family and myself on here, I have in the past and am not concerned whatsoever in doing so. I will even tell

people that my Boats name is Atilja, it is an 18 foot Trendsetter with a Yammie 90 Behind it, I fish out of Peron with my family, if you see me come and say

hello, if you have a problem I am more then willing to talk about it in a Civil way, If you want to talk fishing even better.

The art of communication has certainly changed over the last 10-15 years.

That's pretty piss poor Russ, pity you've got too much integrity to name and shame them.

 Been on this site for about a year or so Russ and the comments you post are always positive and informative. I'm always doing searches on the site and you guys have been giving out great info for ages. Keep contributing to this great site because it is always the minority who f*#k it up for everyone else. 

Cheers

 Don't worry Russ you're not the only one. I had some fairly serious threats of physical abuse directed at me recently in a series of PM's, not a nice thing.

 I find it hard to believe Faulkner Family, I cant recall any comments made by you that would attract abuse like that. Same as the shit sea-kem got thown at him over a very minor comment, absolute poor form . 

Great to see you still around mate , F#%$W&^# come and go but the ones that really make this site are still around .

Some people just can't help themselves

Agree with Big John's comments, having met Russ and his family when they were in the shirt with their trailer up here a year or two back and can see why he wouldn't name or shame the ones doing the PMing.
He is one of the nicer blokes you would want to meet, same goes for Sandy his missus and he certainly doesn't deserve the crap being thrown at him.

Why is this CF fellas attack with all the swearing allowed ? Sounds pretty threatening to me .

Can't recall the Faulkners giving any reason to have cause to do that sort of thing.'

If the threat is of violence or otherwise another option would be to report it to the police. Using the internet to make threats (public or via PM) is not only a normal offence but also a breach of the telecommunications act. A serious offence and punishable by a jail term.

 ...and anyone can be a target when even helpful, informative posters like Russ and Beau cop it from some of the others. All the shark cull stuff would have to have a lot to do with it, but we had two guys going at it yesterday over boat fishing vs landbased, FFS!

Someone better do something 'cause I've blown the budget on popcorn this month!

Have met you in person quite a while ago and even eaten in your cafe and never seen you post any thing for somone to whinge about

No need to send abusive or threatening PM's to anyone no matter how much they piss ya off. Got a problem with someone contact site administrator(s). Noticed you've been a bit quite onsite recently Russ, sounds like you've got ya nose to the grind stone.

 Read a lot of interesting comments on some posts the past couple of weeks...all I think is sometimes the people going verbally toe for toe on this site need to take a breath count to ten and get over it or themselves. Personally enjoy most forums and topics of interest...and do not know but enjoy the posts as a rule put up by the Faulkner family....good site...let's keep it that way...add value to the site...on open forum and via personnel messages...review before selecting save 

 was very hypercritical Russell [ if that was the problem post ] you are against killing sharks but you like cooking them up at your place of work. 

The vast majority of people want GWSs inparticular and some other big types taken out of the system and are getting pissed off with the vocal minority screaming foul until they get their way and it looks like your one of them Russell.

But on the other hand unsavory PMs are not on.

Sorry guys I can't be on the site all the time, City Flicker was the main culprit and went quite a few people via PM, he's now gone.

Lots of touchy debates lately, especially due to the shark cull its either for or against so always going to be debates/arguments and fighting.

Send me a message, email (adam@fishwrecked.com) or those that have my number, give me a call.  I can't always be answerable due to work commitments, but be gauranteed if there is a genuine concern I will sort it out as soon as I can.

Cheers,

Adam

 Over that cull. Adam

You and your family don't deserve nor should have to tolerate that Russ . sorry to hear and glad it's been sorted .

As Paul stated , if the pm's are of a threatening or stalking nature , print them along with any other info attained and go to the local cop shop and have them file a incident report they are obligated to follow it up .

There's certainly some fruitloops around of late .

Seems everyone is very brave over the internet, and so easily offended.

Sorry you had to go through that, I can't recall anything you have posted getting me upset. Well done Adam.

Let's keep the fishing threads coming!

Cheers,

BD.

I was saddened to read that you had been verbally attacked, I personally have enjoyed reading many of your posts, you have always been encouraging to new members and forthcoming with good advice on all occasions. Look forward to reading more of your posts. For every jerk on this site there are fifty good members with similar interests, we may all not agree on some issues but that's what robust dialogue is all about, we need to listen to others viewpoint as well as expecting others to listen to ours. This is a great site, lets hope it stays that way.
Keep active Faulkner Family, where is your café/restaurant, would like to call in sometime when we are down in the Metro area?
Cheers
Old Banga!

sad faulkners! ive never met you in person but always enjoy reading your posts! you are a family that fishes together and that is so cool!!
thankfully haven't had to deal with any bad PM's touch wood but you just dismiss them anyway! they are jealous and don't like to be told that's all!
debate is healthy and that is what makes Fishwrecked so cool!! bit of banter and I rekon the shops are doing a roaring trade from guys from here buying popcorn and sitting back hehehe!
would love to meet you guys up here if you ever come up and have a beer and wet a line.
You stay away from my spots old banga!! hehe! just kidding!

Thats just wrong.

Always value your comments and helpful advice to anyone, love a bit of banter but the lines getting crossed all too easily these days.

 Pming you and abusing you with a keyboard, very sadddd... and then to the family (wife) wow thats poor

 Recon all Shark cull threads should be deleated personally !! Some are for some are against, and never will they agree! most have had a gut full of hearing about it!! 

Russ he must be a brave man wanting to mess with Sandy. Hope all is well up the hill!

Thanks to all with the words of support, its a pity it is happening to so many. wasnt going to put anything up after the first one but it happened again.

something had to be said so hopefully things can be done about the ones causing probs to so many on here.

it is a great site and would hate to see it lose a lot of support from so many because of a few

Faulkner family, love your posts and enjoyed your photos when you all fished as a family. 

The old saying, which Mum always said to me if I was sad from cruel words, "Sticks and stones may break our bones but names will never hurt me."

I can see how it could be very difficult for the Faulkeners, having a name and business up in lights here against a fruitcake posting incognito.

I made a conscious decision to change to at least a name and initial on here but still never put my address or ph number up-many on here have it selectively for Abrolhos info, buy and sell etc though.

Havent had any of the sort of PMs mentioned here (feeling left out!) but I will say please if you PM for info at least put a name on the bottom of it as a courtesy.
