Stop it
Push my title aside. I am giving an opinion here so I'm no longer a Moderator. I'll stand up take what ever comes my way. I won't edit or delete. This is one man who has had enough of cyber bullies.
There are far too many members who would rather badger, belittle, abuse and bully rather than share their hard gained knowledge. Yes you earned that knowledge and yes many youngsters won't listen but then at their age did you? Ive seen too many times we get members who hide behind their name and when met face to face are nothing like they write.
To you I say "Shame on you"
So let's get into this contest to which I was unaware of and since I do Moderate I thought I was ineligible to participate.
NAME!
WHAT IS A NAME?
Rules do ask for a name. You have a " Username " correct?
Where does it state legal or birth name to post your picture? It don't.
You log in with your username thus a"NAME" was posted. Otherwise you can't post. Correct?
Definition of a Name
name
nām/
noun
noun: name; plural noun: names
1.a word or set of words by which a person, animal, place, or thing is known, addressed, or referred to.
"my name is Parsons, John Parsons"
synonyms:designation, honorific, title, tag,epithet, label; More
informalmoniker, handle;
formaldenomination, appellation
"her name's Emma"
2.
a famous person.
"as usual, the big race will lure the top names"
synonyms:celebrity, star, superstar, VIP, leading light, big name, luminary; More
expert, authority;
informalceleb, somebody, megastar,big shot, bigwig, big gun, great, giant
"the top names in the fashion
To the word name. Several have read more into the rules than is there.
Contest was also put up to help bring new members here. That it did but with 2 pages of negative rhetoric I'm betting that new user won't come back to post thanks to the constant negativity.
We have "Users" who belong to this website that have flat out chased away new users constantly. You know who you are. Rather than find a way to teach from your vast knowledge you taunt. Shame on you! I have brought this up with management several times.
If HNI bans me for what i posted it is darn worth it!
Quite frankly the 'name' "Crybaby" fits.

That is a weak excuse for a screw up. Everyone's screen name is on every post, so when the rules ask for a name is obviously asking for a given name not a screen name. While I did enter I really don't care if I won or not , I would have only taken advantage of one of the prizes anyway and I didn't expect to win. However when someone with no dog in the fight decides to throw his oar in the water and call a member a poor loser when that is not the case I will not remain silent, in my opinion he is the cyber bully and a trouble maker! Sharing knowledge has nothing to do with this thread, I have shared a substantial amount of knowledge since I have begun posting here. The whole crux of the matter is that there were rules posted when the contest was announced and those rules were not followed when the winners were selected and I believe everyone who entered and followed the rules has a legitimate gripe, I did not complain but I did support the man who did because I agree with him. Had the contest rules simply stated post a picture of your favorite hunt and contact the outfitter to receive a brochure no one would have had a reason to question the procedure. Don't whizz on my leg and tell me it is raining. Whether it was intentional or not, the rules of the contest were not followed and the red herring of "what is a name" is just a distraction. I am done with this thread but an admission that the rules were not followed, for what ever reason,would go a long way in defusing the emotions of this thread and those who were not involved should not be exacerbating the situation.

Appreciation is in order for HNI and IMB Outfitters for running this contest and the prizes awarded-especially considering the low turn out. No doubt expensive and generous. Perhaps other such contests can be had in the future as members see or hear stories from the hunts to be completed. Thank you for your time, expense, effort and intent.

I would say step up and volunteer, by being a mod. But with your attitude, that would not help.
Do you think this is there job? Or that they get paid for doing this? It is probably just voluntary, and they doing a good job.

I looked back and almost half of the contestance did not post a name.
ot and tg, I do not see any names on your post. ?
Maybe everyone that posted after you, just did what you did.
My dog in this fight is for the mods, that volunteer there time to help run this site, so that hunters have a place to go and talk hunting.
