I' m not very happy about some of the things I' ve seen here lately .....above and beyond the " Lost and Wounded" stuff. And I' m not typing this to hear myself speak.
Personal attacks, no common sense in posting, ZERO knowledge of posting rules, and overall poor ettiquette and language have flooded many of the posts lately.
I have been approached via e-mail about these issues several times in the last few days alone.
This stuff needs to stop, and stop NOW.

1. NEW MEMBERS (members that have not done so yet) Go to the upper corner of the screen and click on " RULES" Read and understand them. They will give a good understanding of what is expected of a forum member, and save you some potential grief. Your membership here isn' t a license to free speech.
I realize many of our new members are kids/teenagers. The anonymous nature of these forums makes it hard sometimes to determine a persons age/experience level......that said, you have a computer , your a member, and will be held to the same expectations and guidelines as myself.

2. " OLD" exisiting members Quit the crap, you know better. That will save YOU grief.

I will simply not allow this forum to become exactly like the many lawless and anonymous hunting/bowhunting related forum choices you have in addition to this one. I consider Huntingnet to be head and shoulders above all other forums out there, and I need YOUR help to keep it that way.
If you are here for no other reason than to cause trouble or can' t read a simple set of posting rules and actually comprehend what they say, then I will do what I can to see that you have one less forum choice to visit.

Fall is our time, so lets continue to enjoy our seasons and this forum without the distractions of poor behavior. As always I am available to discuss any issues privately if a member needs help with anything.

Comments? (keep them nice or I' ll just delete them anyway)
