Picked this up from the Sydney Angler forum. Thought it was worth sharing. One of the reasons why I generally like the posts on fishing.net.nz and why I detest many of those posted on the various Facebook fishing sites.

Sydney Angler was started by a group of fishos in the interest of promoting a culture of mateship and fishing for fun. A fundamental part of the site philosophy is self regulation i.e. a site without a list of 'rules' as long as your arm.

This approach has without doubt made this site the best fishing portal on the internet. Unfortunately though, this freedom has come at a price being the lowering of our standards, in particularly with regard to the proliferation of low quality and meaningless posts.

To arrest this decline the following code of conduct has been developed by the administration team. The code is not 'hard and fast' however the admin team reserve the right to delete any post/thread that contravenes the code. Repeat offenders will be banned from the site.

1) Spelling and punctuation
Make an effort to adhere to the basics of the English language. Posts where clearly no effort has been made with regards to spelling, grammar and punctuation will be deleted immediately. This is not intended to punish or discriminate against accidental spelling mistakes or those whose spelling skills are less strong (see note below). It is about making an effort.

2) SMS/Text Language
Any post containing GenY/SMS style language will be deleted immediately and the poster deleted from the site. Don't post it because it will be deleted.

3) Have a Point
This is difficult because some of the best threads are the most trivial. That being said, post or threads that are meaningless, idiotic or add no value will be deleted.

4) Sharing is Caring
Sharing of information, fishing spots and any relevant fishing information is central to the ethos of SA.

6) No Idiots
Dickheads, retards and idiots will be banned without notice.

Just wonder if it might be good idea to move " New Products and Announcements" up to be under
" Buy Sell trade and exchange"  Both are about buy sell etc....???

and why are the pages so short? You can scroll down and get more adds.

Any thoughts on a "weather report thread" as a sub maybe to the Briney Bar...  the idea being the guys could post what the weather , wind and sea state conditions were like in their area.. Boaties...rock hoppers.. surfcaster folk could place a request to other members... eg someone from Auckland heading north to the bay of islands for the weekend and someone in the area could advise.. or someone in any area could simply post a report for others to see...]]> Fri, 31 Jul 2009 17:49:37 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=15248&PID=616783&title=ideas-and-feedback#616783 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=15248&PID=447135&title=ideas-and-feedback#447135 Author: Hookz

Just a little idea for consideration.....
A locked automated gallary topic pined at the top of each section..

i.e. If I post a pic on a thread in the "Fishing Reports" section, that pic is auto inserted to the gallary topic pined at the top of the "Fishing Reports" section.

Also if possable add a link button to the pic for direct access to the thread it was posted in.
This gallary could be done with thumbnails so you must access the thread were it was posted to see the pics full size, This would promote the viewing of threads with pics.

This could be handy in threads were people are looking at products or Howto's and or maybe to move some product were applicable.....

This could also give us away to have a quick look at the latest posts with pic for those days when "Time just is not on your side"......
Or could serve as a  quick reference back to a post you were in before but can't remember the name or date of but can remember the pics you were looking at.....

"That my idea for the month" now back to having no idea again........

i see in another thread that the long term goal for the website is to make an online type fishing club with benefits etc for members.. how about a thread that states where such benefits are avilable to members and what benefits are available.maybe a card as proof of membership is nessecary for any such discounts,perhaps a sub thread for members to suggest reasonable requests to such sponsers etc...]]> Sat, 07 Jun 2008 14:37:04 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=15248&PID=417296&title=ideas-and-feedback#417296 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=15248&PID=416853&title=ideas-and-feedback#416853 Author: Rock Fish

I've put a thread up this in this section but it would be good to be able to save a buddy list of people we meet up with or have plans to for fishing where we can can edit the buddy list with information. Boulder did advise we could send the email to ourselves which is a means to an end to save info but seems a little redundent to have to go through to a third party client to get information on members when it would be alot easier to log into the site and be able to get numbers and whatever else we have stored for specific members.]]> Fri, 06 Jun 2008 08:15:03 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=15248&PID=416853&title=ideas-and-feedback#416853
