That's it! And it's not like there aren't stickies that say "READ ME-BEFORE POSTING QUESTIONS" at the top of EVERY SINGLE SECTION.

So your the guy that actually reads the owner/instruction manual before using or assembling.

only when it's something I'm unfamiliar with...  which sort of goes well with this thread, don't you think?  

ok so heres where i defend myself..... yes i am a newbie on this forum... i am not however a newbie to forum pages......     the particulars werent going to get plastered here.... but in order to defend my point i think its nesc...

I posted a post which will remain anony. (until someone goes back and looks) that was about hopw to understand the patern on a local lake-it not only involved the use of terms and certain baits, but the kind of lake, the conditions, the time of day, the way im fishing it, how to handle the weather, how to handle concentrated angler pressure...ect....

it got moved to the fishing tackle section.......   it was in no way a question about fishing tackle, it was about answering my fundamental question of how to go about fishing the lake...... yes, that did include discussing tackle, but the topic was so much more than that.....

It doesnt mater who did it, or why really (because this topic is more about me voicing concern on the issue than it is about me "Blasting" anyone becase my post got moved...)

someone at somepoint read my post, didnt think it through completely because they only read the part abouit what baits i was throwing and moved my post to another section.

*MY OPPINION*    I think it would have been best suited to get proper responses and answers if it would have been ieft in the general section.......    it was in fact a VERY general (or broad depending on how u look at it) question that was by no means aimed at asking what kind of baits i should use- but instead how i should go about fishing the lake in general and in ALL ASPECTS!

whats next if i include a location for the lake in the first paragraph is it going to instantly be moved to its perspective location in the northeastern fishing pages.....

and btw- i posted this string in the general section to prove my point....... not to mention that it wouldnt get anywhere near as many views in the everything else section.....

but thank you for your input-

and so noone blasts me.... I am an advocate for the mods..... without them the pages would be a mess.....    i think that they are a really important part of the forums..... but...... this is the third or fourth time that ive seen something like this happen..... and it isnt just on my posts of course....

but ya.... thats my defense.... and i want to emphasize agian that i wasnt blasting anyone. I just wanted to voice my oppinion.... so. thanks to the mods for caring enough to respond. that actually means alot to me. It woulda been alot easier for them to just brand me as a trouble maker and ban me.

You guys do a great job, I just think that someone(or someones) should be a little more specific in chosing which posts get shuffled around and to where!

btw-on a random note, i caught a bullfrog yesterday on a 6inch worm..... thats a first for me!!!!!

To be sure, the decision to move a post is a subjective one.  And posts with multiple possibilities indeed have multiple choices.

That said, the illusion that a post will been seen more in the 'General' section, and therefore answered, is a myth.  More often than not, those posts move onto the 2nd page very quickly, never to be seen again.... often well before the day is over.  Meaning many people never even see it - people who could answer your post.

Moving it to a more relevant section is in your best interest.  That's what we try to do.  We're not trying penalize you, we're trying to help you.  Hope that makes sense.  

that did make sense and like ive said before.... it means alot to me that you guys even bother to respond!

you guys really are great, i just kinda needed to vent that i was unhappy with a few choices being made......    so i guess that concludes it!

thanks again guys!

no hard feelings i hope!
