This announcement is being placed on the Elk Hunting Forum so we can reach the maximum number of members and lurkers.
We are pleased to announce that Dan (Iccyman001), and Derek (Cohunter14) have agreed to serve the forum as moderators. The forum is growing and we are anticipating continued increases. With that growth comes the need to manage the forum so that we all enjoy it, and have a quality place to share experiences, and learn from on another. BTO wants to be the best and most welcoming hunting site on the internet. PERIOD!
We have a great bunch of people here and John, Brad and I consider ourselves honored to have you as a part of our campfire discussion.
Sometimes in forums, we say things that don\'t fit right. Sometimes it is deliberate, but often not. Sometimes what I read is not what you meant. I have often noticed just how easy it is for the writer to mean one thing, and the reader to see it differently. Some members have really struggled with that. I remember having one on my posts pulled, on a different forum, because it was too hot. I was angry about how others were being treated, and went too far for someone\'s comfort. Also, what one person finds acceptable, another may not.
We are trying to make this forum as broad as possible without diluting the quality. With that objective in mind, Dan and Derek have been empowered, and charged with monitoring the entire site, so that we can be a comfortable place for everyone interested. Let me assure you we do not want to change or delete anyone\'s posts or threads. We would like you to post what is on you mind without being concerned about things like \"Is this what everyone else thinks\", or \"Will they think I\'m stupid\" or something similar\". We want greenhorns, youngsters, and old sages coming together for a fun, productive dialog.
Iccyman001 and Cohunter14 have agreed to be our moderators. For that john, Brad and I are all thankful. These members have our full confidence and support. Our objectives as owners are their objectives, and we appreciate their willingness to take on this work without remuneration. In an effort to keep the camp a welcome site for any and all who wish to be here, our moderators will be checking for obscene, vulgar, inappropriate or illegal matters. If your thread, or post is deleted, or modified, the moderator will notify the owners and you will be told why. If you do not understand the change to your post, please write the moderator for an explanation. As Mentioned earlier, they are expected to manage their work independently. Just because your submitted material is modified or deleted, does not necessarily infer anything negative toward you.
Please understand, we are not trying to control you, more than absolutely the minimum to maintain the quality of our BTO forums.
Note: \"illegal\" includes plagiarized materials. You can attach a link, but please do not copy without written permission.
