Smile. Every single time you get the urge to respond to a thread. Don’t. Your posts are generally text based white noise. If you cut your posting down to 1/10th of what you currently do people would potentially stop groaning when they see your name in threads.
Lightning. Your posts are generally of slightly higher quality than smiles. That is not a compliment. You should cut down on the 1-5 word responses in threads because they don’t add anything most of the time.
Every decent thread for the last year has become a ******* disgrace past the first page or so. Both of you need to keep sh*t to the topic being discussed. This is the main damage being caused to the forum. Good threads being derailed time after time.

Re: Let's remove the post count numbers
Several quality posters have stopped posting here over the last year, and I've pretty much lost interest in this forum myself, because of the endless trash poured onto the forum by two members. Every time somebody posts something interesting, relevant or worthwhile, it gets buried under pages and pages of crap, people posting meaningless and unnecessary one-line comments in an obvious attempt to outpost everyone else. It makes an interesting forum turn boring and mundane really quick, and everybody knows which two members are responsible for it.

Re: Let's remove the post count numbers
While were at it..
Would be great if the other members also showed some interest in actually posting reports of their outings rather than just coming here for info.
So many thousand members here but only a handful that actually take the time to put up a report.
It's very disappointing tbh...

Another point.
people who post f-all of time and contributed very little and then occasionally come on here just to criticize others is poor form....
If more people were posting topics and contributing place would be better off

I wont post a fishing report; I did years ago, on here and other forums and learnt a lesson in keeping spots secret.purple5ive wrote:While were at it..

A lot of my fishing is local with many years of persistence, patience and hard-yards gone into working out how and where to fish locally. Once a spot gets reported to produce, it's not long before it's smashed and no longer any good. Then there's the the secret creeks and rivers in Vic that I fish, holding small populations of quality Bass, EP, Cod etc.. There's no way I would even contemplate making those public knowledge.
I once reported on another forum about a successful, local Bream session using a new type of lure. The following Saturday there were at least ten people at my spot using the same lure, whereas previously I had had this spot to myself and a couple of mates. This spot was fishless after two weeks, needless to say I wasn't too popular with my mates.
The report's usually followed by the endless PM's asking "how do you do this and that" from members who contribute nothing, then crack it with me because I dont hand-feed them hard earned details (though I do share info with some members who are also putting in their own hard-yards).
I will only post now to offer some advice or commend someone on their post; you wont see me posting any reports.
