In order to maintain order throughout the forum and to promote the popularity and information sharing of the site, there has to be rules established. These rules will be added to and amended as needed if everyone will just play nicely then there should be no problems. We are all adults here so let's act like it.
1) BE NICE. Fishing is supposed to be fun. Talking about fishing is supposed to be fun. There is no need to be ugly about things
2) EVERYONE is welcome. This forum is not set up for one particular person or a particular group of people. It is set up so everyone can come and learn, fellowship, discuss, gossip, talk, and have a good time.
3) Keep it clean! Let's keep it G Rated on here and family friendly.
4) I don't mind you coming on and telling others about products you may have but if the only reason you are on here is to try and sell then you have to pay for advertising. The cost of the site comes out of my pocket and you should pay your fair share if you want to advertise.
5) If you don't like what is going on here, LEAVE. It is just that simple. No one makes you be here, you don't pay to be here, and your life don't depend on being here. You are more than welcome to be a part of the community but if you are unhappy or just don't like what is going on then leave. No hard feelings, nothing personal, but you need to find something else that makes you happy.
