We are introducing new site rules that will hopfully make the site a better place for all.
None posters:
Members that use the site and never make a post may have there account deleted.
If you look at the members list you'll see a lot of none posters, some of them hardly visit the site and these account will stay but thoes that frequent and never make a post may get deleted.
We hope this will sort out the wheat from the chaff.
Peg naming:
We will be editing out the naming of pegs but it would help if you don't describe and pin point pegs in the forums, if you get a private pm from a member its up to you if you want to share the info.
e.g. I caught 3 doubles on the weir last night.
This will be edited to:
I caught 3 doubles near the weir last night.
e.g. I had 4 barbel from the bush peg next to the big bridge in Hyde.
This will be edited to:
I had 4 barbel from near the bridge in Hyde.
Photo submissions:
Photos are the best part of fishing but we have had reports that some people have copied images from the website and others and they are using them in mobile phones and cameras to pin point pegs on the barbel rivers.
I will be the first to admint that I've fished pegs that Ive seen in other peoples photos.
To combat this they are new rules for photo submissions.
We will not accept photos that show distinctive features on the river that could be used to pin point pegs.
If you know how, you can blur the background of the image you want to add.
Take the photo with your back to the bank not the river.
See examples:
We hope that people who dont normally submit photos will do with these new guidelines inplace.
Please add your thoughts to these new rules
