Just an informal poll on the opinions of LSF users. A number of posters continue to flood the forum with a nonstop stream of posts on the subject. Are you annoyed, exhilarated, or ?
Only one selection is allowed, choose wisely! The poll will run until 3/10.

I’m sure this topic is a nightmare for you moderators to keep an eye on. Why don’t you try making it so you have to be a member and logged in to see/participate in the threads like the classifieds used to be. So the lurkers, outsiders, and sponsors don’t even know there’s a thread being discussed. The mods wouldn’t have to keep such a close eye on them. Let em hash it out, as long as it doesn’t get to personal attacks. This is a very emotional topic, and I believe it’s too important to Minnesota sportsmen to be banned all together on LSF. Just my

I pulled the title from a former member that was asked to leave and not return. He was upset that he was getting shut down on his third or fourth account. He was finding ways to bypass the profanity filter, issuing personal attacks against members, and went as far as to threaten to come kick my ***.
During that dialogue, he repeatedly called me a jackbooted thug for suppression of his “rights” to post here. So i wear it with a badge of honor, because i received a ton of PM’s about his behavior from respectable members of the board.

My opinion is that no matter what the poll says you will treat it the same anyway. Much like politicians you will get the vote and do what you have always done.
The Mille Lacs threads are informative and do bring something to the table. However some folks have figured out that if the discussion isn’t going their way it’s easier to get it nuked then to actually have to defend their position.
I understand the mod position is difficult. It probably does get old babysitting. However, thats the job you signed up for. It’s really no different then the fireman who is pi$$ed when his clothes smell like smoke.
You need look no further then FM to find out what happens when a site gets overly moderated.
For the record, I didn’t vote for this poll either.
No malice is directed towards anybody or the site in particular, just voicing my opinion as the thread asked for. ” title=”” class=”bbcode_smiley” />

1+ great post! I was a member of the evil neighbor in the 90’s and now I don’t even go on that site. I went on there once this year and it is a ghost town of spam and bs. I would hate to see LSF go that way, it is a great site!
