Moderated AR Fishing Reports Forum

[Rookie40]

The only thing I see this accomplished was getting some new guys to post 25 times and thats a good thing. Is it me or am I missing something?

[LRJoe1]

I have wondered the same thing. What is it for?

[Rookie40]

Thank You, I knew it couldn't be just me lol

The idea was for folks for put there fishing posts in the forum and also have a place to sticky useful information such as the waypoints at the top of it for lakes. If the member chooses to put his/her post on the open forum that is up to them but they have the option to put there post where active participating members may see it only too.

ABH is the Mod report forum page lock to lurker?

I think the approval part is why guys aren't using it and in my opinion this whole site is a fishing report. I for one am not concerned with someone (lurker) reading the post I put up of the fish I catch and how I caught them but that's just me.

I find this to be a great tool and here's why. If I want to find a fishing report for a certain body of water I plan to fish I don't have to navigate though all the posts be either informative or social. Also while surfing though daily post via tapatalk I don't have to see the same posts showing up as unread over and over again. For example if you go to the Oklahoma boards the third thread that showed up said Eufalla report. I started reading it and didn't notice till the second page I was reading a post from 2011. This was an ongoing thread for years. Also it prevents lurkers from gathering information without any contribution. Now I admit I watched this site for awhile without posting for information but when the 25 posts limit was introduced I decided I better introduce myself and start posting. I now enjoy posting and chatting on the site and that may not have been if my hand had not been forced in the beginning. I appreciate all the information contained in the forum and hope to contribute to it myself and more likely will since someone at least has to post to see it! Thanks ABH for the work your doing to improve this site and the Arkansas section in general.

If your not concerned than you can post on the main forum and for those that would rather not share with a lurker they can post on the other forum. Life is all about choices and now we have that option to choose. If you don't like it don't use it but no need to complain when others feel there is a need and are willing to put the time in to regulate it :two cents

I haven't seen many reports don't know if there ain't any or if I'm blocked

[Rookie40]

My point exactly. This was not a complaint. This post was a question of am I missing something because there is very little activity in the forum .
