Lately several of the posts I have been reading are pretty blatant about disregarding the clearly spelled out rules of the Idaho Forum. D/T this I felt it was time this thread got a little bump and maybe a little spelling it out to make the points clear on some.
1. "Absolutely no profanity, including creative profanity". Most people are good about this, but I'm seeing a large number of people (mostly newer members, so they may just not be aware) that are removing a vowel or a couple letter from the word and putting in symbols instead. This however does nothing to hide what is being said. Use a word that doesn't break the rules instead and spell it out.
2. "No personal attacks." Simple. Don't tell someone they're an idiot, worthless, racist etc. unless they themselves have already claimed it.
3."Keep pics under 300k". Very straight forward, little tougher w/ the higher megapixel cameras but not very. I do feel that perhaps this one could use some review for updating since internet connection speeds have increased for most people in the last few years. Perhaps 600-900k is more appropriate. Just a thought for the moderators to mull over.
4."Keep the subject matter strickly about fishing reports, techniques, and information on the fishing board." Simple. Think about what your thread is going to say, look at the main Idaho board options, and if it doesn't have anything to do w/ fishing put it in one of the other categories.
I think if people actually review these rules periodically and abide by them, and they are enforced when needed, then this board will continue to thrive and improve.
