We have had some grief here from time to time, like most forums I suppose. Arguments, disagreements etc.
When we started this place the purpose was to give people a little more freedom to post what they like, to create a place that is free from control by sponsors. For example if someone wants to come on here and post about their outdoors business, there is no issue with that, they don't have to be a sponsor to do so. Essentially it's not a place to make a bunch of money from for me, I have a pretty successful business in the oil and gas industry.
We are not ban happy here and the only real bans have been blatant, obvious trolls.
I want to be clear on something. I have invested a lot of my time into this, I have also invested some money, nothing huge really, but enough. Under no uncertain terms will I allow this place to fail because people are trolling, constantly confrontational or just plain ignorant.
This is an outdoors forum, that's what we are here to discuss, and yes, it's not the number one outdoors forum in Alberta, but when you come here you don't have to weed through threads like "what color socks do you prefer while hunting".
What I would ask is to try get along, even if you disagree, state why you disagree, back it up if you can, and leave it at that. With a board this size we shouldn't be having any problems getting along.
This is a general statement for everyone, I won't single people out, I see value in every member that comes to Alberta Sportsman.
Thank you.
