Help me understand
 
Maybe some of you guys know. Some people's post get moved which might show kills, and other fav's don't when they have nothing to do with bowhunting really? Is there a general rule in here?

I think the general rule is......if it pertains to BOWhunting.....it's allowed. I'm assuming the ones you're talking about involve gun kills (unless you want to be more specific).

You could always complain to the mods and see how far that gets ya!

That is a good question, I posted a turkey kill with a shotgun and it was moved almost immediately, rightfully so, and other gun kills make it thru with pages of replies for days.Coincidence, you tell me.

:D:D:D I don't think you'll ever get a straight answer to that question, BC. Maybe it just has something to do with which side of the bed the moderators wake up on. I dunno. I know exactly what you mean, though.

It's like a family you can't tell everything too.

If you happen to make a gun kill go dump it in the deer hunting forum or just keep it to yourself.

:DThat's exactly what I did - I kept my gun kill to myself. I don't frequent the deer hunting forum, and a gun kill doesn't belong here, so no-one knows that I killed a buck two weekends ago. Well, they do now, but you know what I mean.;)

I don't think BC is just referring to the gun kill posts, though.[8D]

So, I guess if you kill a deer with a bow and then start a "cooking" thread in the bowhunting forum then it stays but if you kill a deer with a gun and then start a "cooking" thread in the bowhunting forum it would get moved. Tricky rules, but I am starting to understand.

What about a deer you killed with a gun but you meant to grab the bow that morning. Or you wished you killed it with a bow, but grabbed a smokepole instead. I guess its all about intent.[8D]

Fellas, am I showing a trend here? I think you guys are onto me. I thought I was a little more stealthy than that. I guess noone can top the real Stealthy.

There's been 10 threads moved in about the last month or more.

7 - Gun kills
2 - IL Governor outed
1 - Victoria's Secret fashion show thread

The bar is set pretty low.

I was waiting for it to get petty.....lol.

I should have (apparently) posted this photo of the REAL "before" shot;)

Or even if the thread is absolutely unrelated to bowhunting, you could just type the word bowhunting in the thread somewhere and that works too ;).

I'd complain to the mods if I were you guys. I'm guessing theylove it when they get these petty complaints where members' panties get in a bunch!:D

RE: Help me understand
 
They only act on complaints fromcertain members. Perhaps the ones that wear thongs and not panties ;).

Well, if you complain... be sure to complain to a mod who has an inkling of what you're complaining about... some of us are more in the dark than others, LOL. [8D]

I'm gonna complain I missed the Victoria's Secret thread.

GMMAT 12-11-2008 08:07 AM

RE: Help me understand
 
Hey I didn't start a thread complaint thread, Bruce. Maybe the board needs a few detective-like board ninnies to peruse each one and report to them mods when something doesn't pertain to BOWhunting.

If someone will nominate you guys.....I'll surely second the motion!

brucelanthier 12-11-2008 08:09 AM

RE: Help me understand
 
Perhaps the same detective-like board ninny that cried about the gun kill threads can take on the job :D.

Not very good detective skills, there....

Seems like you missed this caveat.;)

Didn't miss anything. Apparently that detective-like board ninny that found the gun kill threads is good at determining what pertains to bowhunting and what doesn't and he couldscout outthe "cooking" threads, "look-alike" threads and suchto determine if they pertain to bowhunting or not.

I really need to find my HNI super agent decoder ring. I rarely have any fricking clue what is being talked about.

If you're talking about me....you're giving me WAY too much credit. I don't have the powers to move any threads.

But if you're complaining about the gun kill htreads getting moved.....I just don't understand it. I'm sure the "Hemi" threads get moved from the Chevrolet truck forum all the time. Call me crazy.

It doesn't bother me when my threads get moved....and they have in the past. Last one I had moved pertained to target archery. I understood, fully. If the bowkill I cooked up gets moved....I promise I won't weep;)

If you think I am talking about you then, perhaps, you are giving yourself way to much credit ;).
