The latest MFS thread

[TF_scarf]

Has it shrunk?

And if it has, why?

[TF_Paddy]

Yes, It was going full stop, but the admin buttons are a bit up the swanny! That’s why certain posts have remained and Geeps has added on the end, so my apologies for that, as that was my fault.
Has that explained it for you?

[TF_proper tidal boy]

i noticed that the post from myself has also been locked which hasnt helped as i still dont know why my question wasnt answered, or has geeps answered my thread with the reason which i cant read as its locked, whats that northern saying theres nowts so queer as folk ?????

[TF_scarf]

Fine with me. Thanks for the explanation Paddy.

[TF_geepsterParticipant]

I’ve locked the whole thread (not just your post) because it’s a recipe for trouble. What was the question PTB?

[TF_proper tidal boy]

not being able to access site allday now ,so like to keep up as much as i can on the threads so when one is locked off which isnt often. Makes me wonder why. so upon asking why my thread gets locked???? is that why its called the dark side ??

[TF_caster robParticipant]

Becoming a waste of time trying to communicate on here, more like an anti-forum.

[TF_geepsterParticipant]

I know, I’ve always locked so many threads. Hooked on it really. Never allowed people to have their say. Must be very annoying for you…

[TF_geepsterParticipant]

Sometimes I read people’s posts and just shake my head with disbelief….

Do you know what I get criticised the most for?It’s NOT censoring people’s posts.

Talk about the ‘no win scenario’….

[TF_feeder]

you keep it up geeps no problem here mate.cheers

[TF_Decaff]

Likewise.

“I know, I’ve always locked so many threads. Hooked on it really. Never allowed people to have their say. Must be very annoying for you…”

Perhaps it’s only the threads that I either post or take an interest in that get locked.
As tend not to frequent “best pole for £80, best luggage” etc that could be the case.

“Do you know what I get criticised the most for?It’s NOT censoring people’s posts.”

Why is this?

What business is it of a third party to restrict another’s voice?

[TF_Rossn]

Maybe it’s something to do with the fact that he OWNS the site. He pays for hosting and domain registration.

What makes you think that you have ANY right to “free speech” on a web site that is provided FREE of CHARGE to anglers ?

I’m quite aware that Gareth owns the site.

The third party being someone who is NOT Gareth and NOT the poster who is the intended recipient of censorship.

If English is too complex for you just reveal your native tongue and I’ll do my best to converse.

[TF_NW Cut Angler]

Fully understand why Geeps locked the threads and I don’t think you being pedantic Rob is very helpful.

Trust me you can go to other forums and they threaten paying members if they do not as they are told then the admins will take their bat and ball home. On that basis Geeps is akin to Terry Waite.

[TF_MICK THE BOOKIE]

Rob……Be carefull mate,you dont want to be the wrong end of Rossn tongue….He`s deadly…lol.

[TF_caster robParticipant]

I honestly don’t think that I’m being pedantic Allan.

I’ll take criticism from someone in full possession of the facts, but coming from someone who’s got it arse about, I think I’m entitled make the call.

[TF_NW Cut Angler]

Alas he is right Mick

[TF_caster robParticipant]

You need a bigger spoon Mick.

PS How about Cloudy Lane for the National?

Perhaps Rob but what will it achieve? This thread will get locked/deleted. You now have MFS members who are dual members trying to create trouble and Geeps trying to be fair with everybody. MFS is run like a communist country whereas Geeps is liberal and fair minded. The day Geeps goes around threatening members en masse then you may have a good argument.

“THE PACKAGE” 14/1 GET ON ! ~clap ~clap

[TF_Fordy]

It’s almost as if NW Cut angler has an axe to grind. Like he’s been banned from MFS or something?

TF and MFS are the same animal in different places. Both are about the people.

If you p*ss people off, they won’t want to speak to you any more.

Not really Fordy. I was a member of both forums. I did not like some of the things that were happening on MFS with regard to their actions towards other sites and indeed their own members so I spoke out / I even offered to speak privately about it to them. It is amazing the depths some people will go to in their goal to secure advertising revenue and the negative campaign they waged against other sites.

I have been on the Angling forums since their infancy and IMO the development of cliques and paid membership has had an adverse impact on the behaviour of posters but now sadly and for the first time the admins of one forum.

No axe to grind here and I can look in the mirror and know what I see is honest and has integrity. One group cannot do so and to sink to that level over an internet angling forum is so pathetic it is beyond contempt and does the ordinary anglers who want to use the net for leisure no favours whatsoever.

It is sad but hey I guess that is life.

It has never existed until MFS came into existence. You will have to ask those responsible for that site re their conduct. Apparently they think negative campaigning re all the other angling forums will secure them some advertising money. Pretty desparate and pathetic.

[TF_Billy no FishParticipant]

NWCA, i spoke to Gareth this morning and there is no problem between us at all. Do you not realise the damage you can potentially cause Gareth? This site is supported by it’s advertisers, as is Gareth because it’s his business. Go to every angling website and ask what i have done personally to denigrate them? The answer will be nothing. How do you think the businesses that support this site view your baseless ramblings? You threaten people, belittle them for their professional achievements, and question their integrity. Maybe you need to step back and evaluate your life and perspective. I have never met you, and as i said on MFS, try not to judge those whom i have never met. You make that a very difficult principle to adhere to.

[TF_NW Cut Angler]

You seem a tad overly worried Billy

[TF_Billy no FishParticipant]

I’m stunned. I’m not worried at all you idiot. Gareth doesn’t deserve crap like this. There will always be site banter, people cross pollinate, it’s all fishing. Your poisonous attacks are pointless. You are causing TF more harm than i could ever wish to.

Quote from BnF – Go to every angling website and ask what i have done personally to denigrate them?

BnF, you clearly dont realise what is being said on the banks and on several of the other angling forums about YOU and MFS. Its not very nice!

[TF_NW Cut Angler]

Billy Billy Billy I am not the one who threatens to cancel trips and competitions if his members do not show loyalty to his main sponsors. You seeem very obsessed with sponsors to the point you would behave in a less than responsible manner. I wonder what happens if somebody posts something remotely negative about MARUKYU on your site lol I am not the one who criticises other forums then has to have his own posts deleted.

Billy you would do anything for 20 pieces of silver

[TF_NW Cut Angler]

Billy you can only play the backstabbing malicious game for a very short time. People are not as stupid as you think. Behaviour like that gets noted. People talk carelessly. If you choose to play the game to different rules than everybody else has been playing them for a very long time you get rumbled. Enjoy.

Selling decent people out comes back to haunt you in my experience.

[TF_kid_a]

I read the Marukyu thread on MFS and I have to admit it did seem like anybody that had anything sceptical to say or didnt tow the party line got shot down…

[TF_geepsterParticipant]

Enough already people.
