I have a feeling most of those dog types are working their dogs a lot Bavarian. Remember it's mid summer, so if you can get 2 hours a day out of them your doing well. ;)

Oh cry me a river - you deserve everything you get! You still just don't get the reasoning behind the splitting of the section do you?? Time will tell, in the meantime I am going to enjoy the peace and quiet:cool:

Easy.

We are not even saying there is anything wrong with the dog related lunacy. Only that we need room for more than just that.

What you are proposing is how it should be, and I am confused at your earlier post that I had it wrong?? I want to have a section where people can peacefully discuss their dogs - I have much to learn. However, I want to be able to ask questions and discuss options with other people without getting attacked, berated or put-down, otherwise I just won't waste my time (which I am thinking the majority of people feel).
Given that the majority of shit-fights involve or are caused by Ruff in the dog section, I naturally figured the first section you mentioned would involve him and all the others that want to debate with him over various issues time and time again - issues that many other hunters/dog people would find irrelevant and be dis-interested in, and those that just want relaxed discussion would be in the second section. Now if I have this wrong, I sincerely apologise, and will not post further in the dog section as obviously I am not interested in bitch-fights every second day.

the people that have a lot to say is because they know something others dont --it is just how it is presented .There is little use getting negative answers without a fix as it carries several pages of bullshit on that helps nobody --we just need to moderate crap really

Dog section summed up perfectly

its true Spanners and frustrating -if a question is asked one hopes for an answer not a 1000 mile journey around the planet to arrive back at the same place --that would be my only beef here -the fact were argue is quite normal in a dynamic sport -no need for people to get overly upset if they dont like the answers given .

Tussock , this is where people hijacking threads with non relevant info is a pain in the arse -someone was accused of it day before yesterday lol .If its not generally about the thread being talked about leave the comments for a relevant thread . Views may vary -nothing wrong with strongly stating your case -its a forum and a forum is where people do that .The difference is if your are said to be wrong a case needs to be presented in a sensible manner .
I guess opinion can be dressed to look like a fight also it is all in how it is presented and we all do that differently

I'm bad for taking threads off topic

You should see all the arse getting around Tekapo at the moment. It's orsome.

Essentially, if a member, any member, wants to post in a thread on their forum, they have the right to. You guys have the right not to like it, and so not reply, but you don't get to tell people to what they can and can't do.

This forum allows off topic posting. Simple. No one gets to declare themselves a self appointed moderator. If you want a forum where on topic posting is strictly enforced, google is your friend. Go find one.

We interfere the absolute minimum. All these justifications for the behaviour in the dog section are nonsense. It's a complete shambles. We don't interfere more than absolutely neccassary but clearly this is a very special case.

We will either rehabilitate the dog forum, or we will take it out the back and shoot it.

Tussock thats just silly and you know it --you start a thread talking about a rifle and i come long and talk bout my car --smart stuff!

What exactly are you worried is going to happen? Someone might talk about something on a forum, which is for talking about stuff?

People talk about off topic stuff all the time, it's the way conversations naturally develop. We're not going to sit around all day making sure no-one ever strays even slightly from the exact topic discussed in the thread title. No one cares.

Some of the best things ever to come up on forums is off topic!

El-B, who the fcuk cares ? It's a forum... and a pretty decent one with a mix of views, and most of the folks here are reasonably pleasant. Some sections are fun, some are serious, and some (like the doggie section) are just plain barking mad.

Threads go off-topic in a ratio that is proportionally squared to the amount of ego and bullshit that they contain... :P

The "serious" dog guys are the only folks who seem to have a problem with the split - says it all in my book.

I'm all for a mutt / dawg / hound area where the rest of us can have a reasonably sane yarn, and then somewhere else for the few of you who care to go and debate breed, compos, theoretical training methodologies etc ;)

If we had to remain on topic I would have got the ass ages ago!

Majority rules I guess I would enjoy threads staying on subject so you don't have to read several pages of crap to find your golden nugget which is wat we also appear to be talkin about

Bullshit. It's a pain in the arse if it goes off topic, then you gotta read the whole fucking thing which is fine if it's under say, three pages. But this fucker took forever to read.

Now I think that porn is in fact why we are all here. Namely we don't find enough of it so here we are. That and we'll all way to tight arsed to pay for it. (the porn that is)

If you can't find effectively infinite free pornography on the Internet, your access should be revoked.

That is all well and good and I can appreciate your logic. But in reality, what it actually boils down to is what you want for the dog section in the forum you run. You either want new members contributing.... or you don't. If you want new members or people who have been scared off by the crap to come and contribute, then obviously the crap needs to not be there. Simple. As you say, there are plenty of forums out there, I am sure these potential contributors will find one where they feel comfortable.

Dont think you're excluded from the crap... almost 50% of your posts are giving someone shit - and low and behold - in the dog section.
Practice what you preach..

Yep in one thread to the one person who deserves it the most - so 50% of almost no posts in this section is stuff all. For months I have sat in the background not posting in the dog section but watching and have never posted until this thread. Work that out - the original problem has nothing at all to do with me!!
Spanners... take your own advice.

Seriously if you are guna do a job, get some balls and do it properly or just don't bother.

Personally I doubt people get scared off .If they are motivated to post 99%of people are not going to berate or put them down .Interesting to watch the numbers viewing the dog forum over the last while --way up on most other sections !!!!! Dynamic area

whatdya reckon Opio , want to start posting

Yea I think you are right El B - I don't think most people get scared off - they get bored. It is the 1% of people you mention taking up 99% of the space that is the issue and obviously that is not about to change, to the detriment of the section. Good luck and sayoonara!

Its dynamic cos watching these comments and opinions is more fun than and has more drama than Shortland Street.. Slip in a couple of affairs and a royal rogering or two and we ll stay for the next exciting episode.

So long as NCIS or SOA or Africa or CSI is not on tele of course... and we re not off someplace making living stuff dead stuff occaisonally..

Doing it properly is turning off areas to shit stirrers like you.
Prob solved. Can't see it, can't post in it.
If that's what you want then 1/2 a dozen in the background can sort that for you.

Funny, it is always the other person that is shit-stirring when it comes to GDT/Ruff isn't it, no matter which forum he is on??? OK Ruff that is fine - you win again! But karma is a bitch....
While it would make my day for you to blank me out of areas where he is, you needn't bother, I will leave the dog section right now.
