I'm happy to dedicate time away from my own shop duties to help FW members. Answering questions, recommend stuff and going the extra step in aid of helping members. It's never been a shop motivated thing as i've been on websites helping people for many years prior to Oceanside.

What i have "no time for" is dribble crap in Fishing Websites, i'm way to busy for that!

Well done to FW and Adam, a good website and lets move on

This is just a reminder that this is a fishing website and one I like to consider as one of the better ones around. We are very liberal with what content we allow considering the amount of younger members viewing this site daily.

If certain members continue to play about and disturb the peace then they can find themselves using another website. I'm sick of having member's good threads and contributions sidetracked by offtopic banter.  Andy, Tim and myself will be deleting these comments without warning and will, if need be, suspend accounts. I don't want to have to be a nazi moderator, but I will at all costs protect the interests of this site and its members.

Cheers,

Adam

SORRY if it was me

Yeh guys, its a general notice but also does apply to some of the comments been put up recently.  Bit strange to see new 'porn spam' user accounts with Western Australian IP addresses...

Could have been my sister she was going to join away, point taken

Just a reminder to everyone that threatening another member is not tolerated on this site.  The recent cray fishing thread has been very volatile and there has been some heated discussion, which has now degraded into a slanging match where nothing constructive will result.  I have disabled the comments and locked the thread based upon the last 23 comments having nothing to do with the actual thread and being well and truly off topic banter where members have copped unwarranted abuse.

This sort of behaviour isn't tolerated, if you want to have a written joust, head over to hotfight or fishing WA as I won't accept it here.  This site is about FISHING, not your origins, who's grandma banged who from which convict colony or anything along those lines.

I hope you all manage to get some fishing time in over the long weekend and enjoy time with those that matter.

Cheers,

Adam 

Well said Adam. some of us did lose site of what that thread was all about.

Born to fish forced to work

but that whole thread went pear shaped when someone didn't like someone else's opinion. We take part in this forum and people have to respect other peoples opinions, like it or not. I would hope the main offenders get a PM to remind them off this, if that's me so be it.

If I said something I shouldnt Then I appologise although it is easy to get off topic on these threads just one little comment on a post the next one takes it a bit further and before you know we have a slanging match.

To all the virgins..............Thanks for nothing!

Cool guys, cheers for the responses.  You are on the money three lions, its about respecting each others opinions and that seemed to degenerate very quickly in the last few posts.

In regards to Australia vs England, the Ashes are on again soon, as will the next Union test..  Let the sporting fields decide, rather than the fishing forums.

Cheers,

Adam 

I just hope the weathers fine then I can go fishing when its on!

To all the virgins..............Thanks for nothing!

Your not wrong on the size and spread of this site I regularly get Emails or PM's from people all over the world asking about jigging, seems I'm allways talking jigging with someone from somewhere on this planet , and I love it , jigging may not be new here but it is really firing overseas and people want to get in on this type of fishing.

I wouldn't want people leaving because of off topic banter and sledging.

JMHO 

PS Ryan , your driftbaiting is out there too

No Nevilles wanted

maybe the moderators could start a section on the site for "info" about different types of fishing and get guys like maverick to do one on jigging someone else that can do one for catching dhue another for snapper another on fly fishing etc etc.......

i know i wouldn't mind knowing more about "learning how to cast with overheads" 

i know moderators are busy but just a thought...

maybe the sponsors could even run "how to" days.... could hold them at their respective stores.... might even generate more sales who knows....

I know I am always keen to learn more.

Guys just a reminder that this is a fishing site, theres been a lot of off topic banter which has been spreading like wildfire.  I don't mind if you keep the discussion all in one thread, but lately serious threads have been getting subverted to the detriment of the original poster.

I know a few of you guys are looking to boost user points, but if the spammy comments continue, you might find yourself loosing a few....  Dont mean to be the fun police, but I was starting to get a few calls from unhappy members.

Cheers,

Adam
