Are we losing it?

[berger]

I have been saying the same thing for some time. I try and leave the politics at work...but do get drawn in sometimes, mainly after I melt into the couch and after a couple beers.

I do appreciate the updated firearms news posts, but perhaps the 100's of derailed comments could be culled.

Is there a way to block posts from a specific user? A way to flag threads that that user has posted in?

That would enhance my experience here

I enjoy getting a lot of my news from the perspective of gun owners rather than the MSM........a lot more facts and much less personal agenda.

Cheers!

While we try not to overdo it on the moderation and depend on y'all a fair bit to self moderate, sometimes things come up that take us a bit to figure out how to handle without being to heavy handed. Ok I am the heavy handed one lol.
That being said, there is a lot going on politically lately, with the Ontario provincial election, out upcoming federal election, the upcoming changes to the FA, the swiss and cz debacle etc, so there is going to be a rise in political threads. It was the same with the lgr scrapping, and Redfraud being elected. All I can say is skip the threads that dont interest you, and if there is something else you want to see/read about, start a thread.

Like any new place it will take some time to get everything smoothed out, but I think we are off to a good start.

I would agree as I do not see any real problems with the site , different folks have different views when it comes to firearms and politics ; and firearms and politics are closely connected in Canada . As with any new site , it takes a while to get the word out about the existence of the site.....but it will happen in time......

Bahahahah I have lots of fluff and novice-style gun stuff to post. I'm showing some restraint so people get words in edgewise bahahahahah. Plus, the ego can only take so much laughter from strangers...I don't know these new faces yet

We currently have a WAR AGAINST THE RACCOONS going on at my house. It's raccoon hunting season here and I have a vested interest in their disappearance. Cameras, hose at the front door, motion sprinkler, motion lights...now the live traps are coming. I discovered some nasty city bylaws too, which I have researched the snot out of, spoke with counsel, and have sent the info to BCWF for them to fight that battle. Life is far from boring.

Looking at this thread as a whole, perhaps there are two possibilities going forward that could be done to help Hercster:

1 - Is there any way to to customize the site so someone may customize their "What's new" button? For example, if I am never going to own a red rifle in my life, I can de-select that from my "feed" of new threads. Just like someone else who doesn't care about bows, or a third guy who doesn't care about anything but Cowboy Action Shooting?

2 - If there is no personalization possible, is there at least a way to add a "What's new" button to each sub-forum? So if someone wants to just go into the marketplace they can see those new posts, or into the chat forum, etc?

No, as a site I can cut out a whole section for everyone but individual setups are not something that Vbullentin has set up.

kinda but no, you can subscribe to sections of the forum and check the new posts via subscription but, not a whats new button for for each section

Is that your way of giving me permission to post it ? Just teasing.....you know we all love ya !

Just for the record, I'm not against a mix of topics on this forum. Furthermore, as a retired old coot I have more time than most of you to sift through the day's offerings on this forum and quite a few others. However, I did want to table a concern that I now know through open posts and PM's, that others share my thoughts. To step outside of the forum arena, there have been more than a few major Corporations that got into shaky situations because they neglected their "core competency".

So I'm a pretty flexible guy. Heck if Candy Started a "Bee Kee Knee" thread , I'd likely be all over it. Opppsss on second thought maybe not thinking back to that scare we had a while ago with Foxer , the Speedo and the horse, maybe not.

Did you see the mankini in the Walmart thread? It was glorious.
