Locking unit info request threads

[woods89]

I'd just like to thank the mods for taking a proactive stance and locking the "not looking for honey holes" threads this spring. This public land hunter appreciates it!

Doing the good work that needs done! It is about that time of year… now until the hunt starts, I expect?

Good development if true; are mods just deleting the posts?

 

[mtwarden]

That was the consensus. Mods were seeing a lot of brand new folks with their first post asking about Unit XYZ and figured best to nip in the bud.

Any threads I find with unit numbers I edit and delete out the numbers. We can’t stand it anymore than all the other members.

I don't think removing the unit is necessary if the thread gets locked. I don't see the issue with people answering questions in PMs.

Really??

So we take action on one of the biggest complaints since I’ve been around, and it’s still not good enough?

I am referring to some one who creates an account and first post thread title and post has unit numbers. Historical data shows most don’t come back. Locked or not, it’s out there on the Internet forever.
I am not referring to an active member who contributes and understands the need for discretion.

Awesome! Thank you rokslide mods. A step in the right direction for sure.

Yes really. I agree with the rest of your statement above. If someone's first post is asking for unit help just go ahead and ban them.

Thanks mods. I was on another hunting/outdoor forum for awhile and left because of the lack of moderation. It was a s#!t show.

Y’all are doing a good job and thanks for keeping this forum clean and honest

 

[WBrim]

It is great if folks want to share info via PM, but when things get posted, and then everyone can search it up for ever, it can become a mess…

 

[Gobbler36]

Heck yeah
thanks mods

 

[Ucsdryder]

I’ll piggyback everyone else’s comments. A huge THANK YOU!

So when I draw an awesome UT tag in a few weeks I can post for help?

We are removing unit numbers from thread titles that get bumped to limit future exposure.

If your an fng you can't post about units. If your a WKR we allow with the expectation all discussion will take place via personal messages.

Here's my personal approach

Welcome to Rokslide. You should take an opportunity to look around a bit and you'll find this community is pretty awesome.

Now unfortunately we aren't letting FNG's (new guys) post up unit specific questions. Any unit question/answers remain out in the world wide webs forever, which can doom some really great spots.

Rokslide's administrations expectation is that all long standing Rokslide members will understand and support this concept and take all such conversations to private message.

Yes it's a hassle to join and be part of this community but the rewards are worth the effort including the ability to send and receive private messages.

Hope to see you active in the forums, and good luck on your hunt, that's a really good tag
