Ignoring members or blocking their posts sort of works. Until someone throws up their post in a quote. I figure the best way is to ignore the forum. Watching a certain member copy and paste to just rack up post numbers or feel a sense of importance has become more than sickening. It has become a chore of mental concentration to avoid it. Something that I (just speaking for myself) just don't need. In the grand scheme of things it is trivial in my life. But then detecting itself has become less important. So that is where I am at. There are certainly many on this forum that I havelearned from and respect. Their knowledge and worth ethic are awesome. Good luck to them. Now back to the pimping....
creating more sub-forums is not a solution. A single catch all "beach" is fine. The minute you start making sub-niche types , is when you get forums with page after page with little traffic. Because people don't tend to click on a bunch of different sections, to find a topic that interests them. They will tend to check a couple of headings only. And then some niche sections end up getting little traffic (even though they might be very cool finds, or good topics).
Just scroll down the titles and see what title, or person's-name who posted, and then decide from that what interests you.
Be good to have a back yard tester subforum. One person on here would have the forum locked up from overheating issues. Testing a dog log that was imbedded with a sub gram gold nugget being pushed by a dung beetle and scanned with a Deus ll does not help in typical detecting situations IMO!
Larry.. when another detector company comes out with a detector possibly better than the D2 what do you think is going to happen?
Its gonna start all over again all over the forums and facebook or whatever venue people post on...
I get where you are coming from when I saw the steel wool post... so ignore them... no one deals with steel wool so why get hyped up over it...
Just tells me someone has too much time on their hands to think up obscure scenarios... if one doesn't respond then the post dies.
It's more their blatant posts in the beach section just to rattle people. I think it's the carry over from revenge for white coat getting the boot from here. Think those two are on the phone laughing with each other? I do! Unfortunately i think it's killing the forum. Actually thinking about logging out myself. I got thick skin but i hate having to banter back and forth with a fool. All it does is make me also look like a fool. Maybe if you got with the owners and could give any violator a warning to stay off a section they are a pot stirrer? They don't heed the warning they can troll elsewhere! One thing is for sure is a lot of the good hunters already died. Stress is for sure bad for your health. Not something old farts need!
Your thinking negative , FRESH WATER & SALT WATER hunting , are completely different , Black sand, tides , ATpro - fresh water machines vs Excaliburs , different detectors used , you have a Prospecting forum , I can go on & on , major differences , I think you all see it as Sub Forums , in my opinion I see it as hunters gathering & sharing posts , hunts , pertaining to SALT water hunting , not fresh , problem with both together , they clash , not a difficult thing to do , unless the administration likes , lived through the Equinox hype threads TRUE , but this year is different , I sure don't think you want me to go into that here , you know Land hunters go to the dirt forum & post most of the time , just like FRESH water hunters will go to post , outside the box , when you have dirt / fresh water hunters posting on here , sales pitching machines that don't Salt beach water hunt , don't know what machines best , that we know what works , friends of members that have been band , who hold a grudge , causes conflicting non stop drama , , and by the way , don't take it out on me , more than a dozon Beach Water forum have been complaining for months , nothing happened , except , after 12 years of posting , I , Larry , & even you can't post out pets on this forum , fine , pushed to another forum , administrations decision , along with the owners , however a more important decision you let the ride our a--- continue , easy fix if I was the BOSS , PS don't take this out on members that been here Craig , we don't need more drama , JUST A FIX , I posted this thread , as from the cry of over a dozon member's , including Goodmore that said he might depart , I like him , and 100 % can understand his disapointment , we are not administrators , nor owners , we can't fix this , we depend on you all , we all don't want the drama , just a return to the place we enjoy on friendly , peaceful forum
Your thinking negative , FRESH WATER & SALT WATER hunting , are completely different ....
Question , do they - have SALT Water , or SALT BEACHES , I think they do , can't remember when I visited , remember old faithful , if that was UTAH , i was only, 8 YEARS OLD , don't want to debate here , we know you are hard headed & old school , it's a loosing battle , again this thread was posted for a solution , to a problem , not a fuel to the fire thread , that only administration can fix , HOWBOUGHIT ( We have taken care of one issue for now...
__________________ OK , I wasn't asking for a SUB FORUM , just NAME FORUM CHANGE , to let members know they are posting on a SALT BEACH & SALT WATER FORUM , NOT FRESH THREAD HEADER -- Two different forums ( Salt Beach & Salt Water hunting)-------,( Fresh Water Stream , Lake , & River hunting )-----
__________________ NOT SUB FORUMS , just different , non conflicting , friendly ! ( forum for salt and one for fresh water... ) Your the best Boss PERFECT EXAMPLE WHY NEEDED , 5 threads down posted by Mamawberger , newbee with two posts , if you had a Fresh Water Stream , Lake & River hunting forum , Her Atpro headphone , river / stream questions could have been answered there , because , I have- no clue on ATpro- fresh water machines , stream , lake , or river hunting , Im a SALT BEACH / SALT WATER hunter , just a thought , this would also - direct newbees to the correct place to post , to find out information, which is an issue also , not all the time , but happens ! .
Not needed.... We have another solution and if members who don't like certain posts then they should not respond to them... its really that easy...
( Water is water.. fresh, salt or brackish.... ) Brackish is SALT , WEST coast of Florida is Brackish , Fresh water , no Salt
