Must be nearing time for this "internet bouncer" to lock this thread?
Nah. Please don't. Lots of cry babies here that will be real grumpy about threads being locked.
Besides that give FC a chance to respond. Atleast we don't have to now worry about him locking threads and editing his responses to suit the situation...

Or you could respond to some of the questions people asked or maybe consider introducing yourself before you start locking threads.
What could you possibly want to know about me?
I moderate several other non-fishing related forums.
Does it really matter who I am? I have been entrusted with helping make Fishing Victoria a better place. :thumbsup:

Again a Policeman : A BIG reason for their "anonymity" is so that they and their families are safe in their personal lives.

It has been bantered a few times before that modes get threatened, even death threats , , , , so anonymity protects them and their family AND allows the Mod to do his job and Moderate effectively without fear of reprisal which may influence not acting on some unsavoury behaviour and not get addressed due to a concern of personal reprisal.

You've got to be f'ing kidding me. A few things. Firstly, police wear name tags. Secondly, show me literally any historical example of someone going after the family of a mod on a fishing forum and i'll delete my account. Thirdly, IF you somehow manage to moderate a fishing forum to the point where someone actually comes after your family then you f'd up a long time ago.

You say some colossally stupid things but this is pretty much the best of them.
Easy there, Mr cliff hanger..
There are some crazy people out there man. I personally know of 2 people from here that have been threatened personally.
One actually pretty much brought it upon himself and as a result now cannot use Facebook because people know who he is. A shame really as his business could have really benefited from it..
I'd hazard a guess as to that's why the new mod is remaining anonymous.

Dougie, if you don't think there are some Looney-toons capable of this behavior out there, then you are very, very wrong.
I have had one very serious threat from a past member who got himself banned by one of the other Mods.
So much so that he threatened to meet me down at Port Welshpool... plenty of F's and C words thrown in... ( I am sure you get the picture)

Do you think that's fair on me?

What would I say to my 4 year old daughter while walking down the pier having a random stranger attack me????

I can guarantee you I did absolutely nothing to deserve that treatment!

Dougie, very passionate words, but your comments aren't conducive to a healthy discussion. I believe in one right of reply in the same medium that you have made your statement.



Firstly, I said "anonymity" not total anonymity. Name tags or badge numbers yes, I never said that Police don't. But their private personal details are protected, hence, anonymity of their private personal details - lives. They deal with some serious offenders and need to be insulated of any reprisals by these individuals , , , , I would have thought that was an obvious given.


Secondly, I never said that "someone going after the family of a Mod". I said "so , , , , their families are safe". Example to follow.


Thirdly, a historical example of someone going after a Mod and if that Mod was with a family member at that time, then that family member wouldn't be safe either, as they could get caught up in any reprisal to the Mod. So not "going after family members" as you claim I said but as I said their families to be kept safe too.

EXAMPLE:
Wolly Bugger wrote:

"This is the threat cantcatchem sent to me"
What a nasty piece of work you are, get over yourself you self righteous piece of sh*t, I know who you are, where you fish, what boat you ahve and what boat your mates have, I live around the corner from the ramp and will find you and put your head through your hull you ******* coward, **** you dog, just a matter of time ****
Now Dougie, that quote came from this thread viewtopic.php?f=180&t=21656 which was an extension of this locked thread viewtopic.php?f=9&t=21608&p=284215&hili ... us#p284215

You should know that first thread because you posted on it. And on that thread there was even a mention of possibly the individual being under the influence of ice. Yeah, let's give ice influenced individuals personal information of a Mod, how ridiculous.


So, Dougie, not only was Wolly threatened, if Wolly was with a family member at the ramp and if this individual was "putting Wolly's head through the hull" it stands to reason that that family member is possibly not safe either.



Fourthly Dougie, your comment "You say some colossally stupid things but this is pretty much the best of them", I don't appreciate.

I also don't appreciate "f'ing". That is still swearing, just because you got it through the "Auto-Bot" by spelling it differently, the sentiment of swearing is still there.

As mentioned there are a lot of behind the scenes that we don't see.

Your comments Dougie are quite ironic as it was scathing and negative towards me.

Dougie, you may or may not be aware but another member of this Forum contacted me about you. He thought that with your, then, upcoming trip to the World Championships, that you should get some encouragement by the Fishing Victoria Family, and wanted some help in achieving that, I agreed with him and obliged. But this member was also concerned if it was mentioned, that some members would post negatively, as apparently you have had that in the past with your Martial Arts.

So I thought to make you more comfortable about mentioning it AND to pave a road of acceptance of Martial Arts on this Forum and to try and curtail any negative comments that you sometimes receive, I started a thread "Martial Arts, it can help you too" viewtopic.php?f=71&t=23095

And how ironic, I made an attempt to stop negative comments directed at you (which I think that other member and I, we did achieve just that) and here you are directing negative comments towards me
