I have to agrre with this. It is a fine line you must walk,and with that said you do a hard job very well. Possibly in future if a post has context that borders think about it and maybe pm the author to discuss it. this is the best group of people I've never meet. Great advice. always free with it too. Can not wait till camp to meet some of them. Are you going to be there?Quote:

This is a great site and alot of work goes into it I'm know but there is only afew people that post every day and I thank them all for that, know matter where they decide to post it. Beagle is Beagle and I thats what I like about his post. So with that Beagle you can Pm me anytime with your tips, news rants, and raves :D it will be kinda like a Beagle news letter :D
I don't really have a dog in this race here on the MO board...but I will say this as I run into the same thing over on the MS board. We got two forums one for fishing related stuff and then off topic board for everything else just as you do. To keep the boards in order and neat and clean...you have to sometimes move threads from one board to the other. Sometimes it can be kind of border line whether its fishing related or not or vice versa...all any mod can do is just make a judgement call and go on. There is no reason for anybody to get upset...their posts have not been deleted...they are still there just moved to another board.
I'm fairly new to this board, but admin 3 others with a total membership of well over 5k. That's right, I said 5K members.
When it comes to a situation like this, it is ALWAYS in the best interest of the "board" to take a long look at posts that are supposedly over the proverbial line.
Before you take any action.
I've done that with the post in question here, and have looked at the responses to it and of course this thread.
Remember, this is only my take on this "situation" and probably doesn't mean squat, but here goes.
The post wasn't over the line. I took it as a sign that both the weather & fishing would be making a decided turn for the better by the return of the robins. A sign spring was close behind.
Beagle seemed to get PO'd about it. But, did he PM or contact whoever moved it? Did the person who moved it let Beagle know he was moving it?
So, you can see where someone could get an attitude about it.
With all this being said, it is never easy to admin a board. If it were a member that was a "problem type" it would be another story.
I believe in this instance, that is definitely not the case.
So, what to do? If I were the one that moved the thread, I would be the one to contact Beagle, and try to get him back on this board. Plain and simple.
Oh come on G3, you can't even keep Wannabe under control on your own board!:DQuote:

It has gotten blown out of proportion. Several posts got moved to the off topic board. It's a judgment call that has to be made by the moderator(s). It's not personal, therefore, shouldn't be taken that way. I've had my fingers slapped here more than once and will probably happen again but I don't take it personally. :)
