Title: Not sure what all is going on here....
Post by: Terry Green on February 19, 2009, 03:13:00 PM
There have been several complaints about this forum lately.  I don't want any complaints or any problems....but I do understand they arise from time to time.

Anyhow, I hope those that hang out here have not lost sight of what this forum is for, what its about, or the rules of the site about respecting each other.

If you want to be abrasive, make rude and crude remarks, smart off, or get short with folks and disrespect one another.....please do you and me both a favor and find another place to hang out.

Thanks for listening.

Wow, I am new to this site and have not experienced this on any of the threads or subforums which is why i keep coming back. esp here and the knife forum. Tradgang is a special place where i have learned an enormous amout from many.

Terry thanks to you and all the mods for keeping it an enjoyable site.

TERRY

I haven't noticed anything like that here.  Unless it is some individual's perception of us playfully picking on each other, which we do all of the time.

As a group we try to police the threads and not let anything appropriate appear.  Of course we each have our own perception of what is appropriate.

I think I can speak for everyone here that we appreciate the atmosphere that you have mandated  "expect to be respected", and for the most part, I see that here.   :thumbsup:

Jack...I hear ya...I really don't come here much, and like I said...I don't really know what all has transpired here either.

Maybe some folks were reading things the wrong way....maybe not.  Just a friendly reminder that's all.

With everything in this world seemingly being in a backwards whirlwind Trad Gang needs to continue to be an escape for all of us.

Just want to make sure we are looking after each other and not out to get one another.  :campfire:

Thank you for your concern.

We want to keep it that way.

Post by: Terry Green on February 19, 2009, 05:12:00 PM
No worries Jack....and like I said...I didn't even come in here and 'investigate' and the complaints didn't list any names...so I'm not singling anyone out what so ever.  Just a general statement of concern.

Take care guys....

None of us are moderators...however, we owe it to ourselves to be our own monitors.  If we see new users come on and make post that we know are not appropriate by the syandards here, we should PM them and make them aware of the rules.  This can be done very couteously without jumping down someones thoat.

I love this forum.  It is my principal hang out.  If I see someone about to mess it up for all of us, I will PM him with advice on posting here.  If he (she) continues, I will report him (her) to a moderator in a heart beat.  If I am the culprit, I expect you guys to do the same to me.

I hope the reports Terry is getting is from someone that misunderstood a comment and got his feelings hurt.  I also hope I don't have to send you guys to sensitivity training so we don't get misunderstood.

Maybe I am missing something, I haven't seen any rude, crude or abrasive comments at all. I got to believe there is a misunderstanding.

My feelings get hurt sometimes when someone show their huge bow collection. Other than that, I find this forum very civilized. Just my take.

Mike 'Bee' is obviously a name of a member of the female-dare I say 'sex'? And references to female body parts are to be discouraged in a family setting.  :readit:

I think we best put this behind us and adhere closely to the forum of respect in the future.

It has been a great forum, we just need to make every effort to keep it that way.

Post by: sticknstring+ on February 20, 2009, 10:58:00 AM
I think in every group misunderstandings are going to happen especially when the communication is by typing it out. At least for me, It doesn't always read just the the way it was thought or meant.

Any pokes and jabs here crack me up and seem be done with rubber blunts not Razorheads, in good fun among a unique group of guys.

Thanks Terry/Admin. and the guys here, this is a great place to hang out.

I don't think I've experienced one rude or crude crack in any Trad Gang form and I've been a member about a year and a new shooter and log in everyday. This is indeed a unique site. Maybe shooting trad is a unique sport for a unique group of people. I've bought and sold, and these people have given all kinds of advice, sent me a bow for my son no charge which I will pass along to someone else when my son "graduates" to more draw and I sent and received Christmas gifts, raised money for St. Jude's Children's hosp.  and I just sent a bow to Iraq to our soldiers out there, help and prayers to people on the concerns forum, etc etc. And the credit goes to you, Terry for keeping it that way. We thank you. I can't find a place like it.

I have to say this is the most civil forum I've ever seen on the internet. Good people that love our sport and hobby. The only people getting any bad press are those crooked sellers on da E bay.

Sticknstring, good words! And that is a hair raising pic of you and that Elk! Wow! Was that one in Oregon?
Title: Re: Not sure what all is going on here....
Post by: sticknstring+ on February 20, 2009, 01:56:00 PM
Thanks Bjorn, yep it's a Oregon bull. They got me to post the story is over on pow wow after someone put my avatar on top of the page.

Oops... Hijacking offence

Back to topic.... This is a great place!

This is my main hangout also.  I don't post much because I have had my purse strings cut recently due to loss of my job and can't really buy that '62 Kodiak I want so bad.  Anyway, I am here multiple times every day and I would be willing to bet the problem is those guys running the prices up on the bay.  We have discussed that pretty seriiously and I bet they don't like being exposed.  Thanks Terry for a great forum!

Let's just move on then
Title: Re: Not sure what all is going on here....
Post by: Kelly on February 23, 2009, 10:51:00 AM
Could this been centered around those threads recently put on here linking/telling about the bows these individuals had for sale in the classifieds? I thought that was strange and maybe not accepted.  Other than this haven't seen anything out of the ordinary. Lots of helpful people here with tons of useful History and information.

Oh, thanks to all who provide us with a place(TradGang) to visit.

Nothing wrong with referring to the Trad Gang Classifieds.

The only "prohibited" topic is to even mention **** and we do that all the time here...go figure.

Terry has monitored our comments on this thread and knows that none of us have any issues.  I think we have all made our points that there is no negative postings here.  We just need to keep it that way.
