'Fishing Victoria' Badges.

Hi there.

Now we all know than many of us are members of several forums.

Recently a situation was bought up on another forum whereby a guy was fishing for squid at a local pier with his kid. As it turns out the guy was 'muscled' out of a squid his kid had caught by some guy that got agressive & decided he was entitled to take the kid's squid for bait.
The guy did the right thing & backed off due to having his kid with him & not wanting to see a physical confrontation errupt.

This got me to thinking, things might have been very different had this guy been wearing a badge that would immediately identify him to other forum members that might have been present. Safety in numbers would have prevented this situation occuring or at least have resuloted in authorities being able to take action based on evidence from other people present.

So, my suggestion?
Rather than come up with stickers for car bumpers, etc what about producing a 'Fishing Vic' badge that can be worn by people when fishing at such locations. It would enable members to immediately identitify with other forum members & introduce themselves to those they may have already met on line, & in doing so it increases the saftety aspect for those people. This situation being a classic example.

So, what about it FV guys?
How's about a badge that members can purchase to make themselves immediately identifiable to other forum members when in public?

Bill.

It's robbery if that was exactly what happened. All the points of proof are satisfied. The guy needed taking down and the cops called. Unacceptable behavior even if it wasn't illegal.
Back to the topic, not a bad idea, I can put one on my beanie

Fantastic idea Bartnmax, Sad to hear a father with his children would be attacked like that...What a piece of ****...
(If I may put my five cents in maybe it would be a good idea to have the option of having your online name added to the badge somehow when you order a badges)...
