Ban Unit Numbers in Rokslide Threads

[Huntin_GI]

We all are aware of the dramatic effect forums can have on a unit.

What if we can be part of a solution and make those Unit Specific threads go away?

Have a little report button and BAM, the thread is blocked until a review can be completed. It happens every year. I am sure that I am guilty at some point but would love to see a way we can "police" this type of behavior.


Whatcha think?

Would love to see it. I doubt it happens though

What specific units are you talking about?

 

[Marbles]

Who cares. Alaska has several units, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, Etc. Heaven help us, better report me.

Censorship?

 

[Ralphie]

All for it. And put a ban on good states to move to too.

Meh get better at hunting your unit if you're worried about some competition from guys who probably don't get to hunt it often. If it's already an overrun unit, you're a little late to the game trying to keep word from getting out.

 

[DmrbigEshotT]

Yes, please.

Go earn the knowledge yourself.

I wouldn’t be upset about it, but I think people would just start using locations instead. If you think it’s bad on here, don’t go on FB. In some of the groups I follow on there, people are asking about which trailheads and drainages to go to.

While I don't particularly care for loose lip people blowing out good hunting areas, I can't say it really effects me that much as I'll just bust my ass to out hunt everyone else there. The saying that 10% of hunters kill 90% of the game holds true regardless of how many people are in an area.

 

[Hun10-freak]

Wow...Censoring discussions about hunting.

 

[Mykolaivka887]

It won't happen, and good thing, too.

 

[Amos Moses]

Should at least be banned on your first three posts on Rokslide.

 

[Ten Bears]

I am firmly against it. We can talk about hunting in great detail without giving away earned information about specific spots.

That being said. If it is allowed a couple courtesies would go a long way.

1. If you just made an account to ask about a unit, ban them.

edit* maybe a form letter response to a newbie along the lines of "hey welcome to the site, you'd get a warmer welcome if you interacted on here for a while before asking about units"

2. If you want to help someone, send them a PM. That way someone’s spot isn’t blown up for anyone to google.


Thought I would add to this to give more context.

I have sent help to 10 or 15 different people on here. 9 times out of 10 I haven't got a response of any kind. It totally soured my opinion on it. The ones that have responded have been awesome.

I’d rather ban out of state hunters. Neither is going to happen nor should It.

 

[SWOHTR]

I’m all for more regulation and increasing the admin burden on the moderators and staff!

Sigh.

I twice shot some decent whitetail bucks in Idaho GMU 8. Highly recommended.

 

[Billy Goat]

We just need a random number generator that replaces it.

 

[Red Letters]

You could do like a certain group of people and start a fake news campaign to combat truths would rather hide.

 

[woods89]

I voted to ban the practice, but I'm not banking on it happening.

Maybe these posts need tags attached, similar to some of Rogans podcasts, from what I'm told.
