Forum Rules

No haiku, except on April 1^st. If you feel the urge to wax poetic on any other day of the year, please write a limerick.
Watch the language. There are no naughty-word police here, but use common sense or I will call your mother on you.
ABSOLUTELY NO ALL-CAPS. If you're new to the Internet, you should learn that typing long passages in all-caps is the online equivalent of shouting at someone from 2 inches in front of their face after eating three cloves of garlic soaked in sardine oil.
Don't blatantly advertise. I'm not very territorial about web links and if you made a really neat website you can post about it. If you've got a fishing-related commercial site you can link to it tastefully in your signature. If you sign up and post one or two blatant, boring advertisements and then leave, we will boot you from our clubhouse and mock you behind your back.
Be at least 13 years old. There's an overreaching US law called COPPA which requires proof of parental consent to collect so much as an email address from anyone under 13. The result is that small-time website owners who don't have a system to collect, verify, and store parental consent data must instead forbid anyone under 13 from participating. Technically.
Don't bash state management agencies. Intelligent discussion of fishery management policy is allowed, but we have zero tolerance for conspiracy theories, character attacks, and incoherent rants against officials from your local Department of Conservation, Department of Natural Resources, Department of Fish & Game, or similar organization.
Use common sense and don't be a jerk. Most of the real rules here are obvious and unwritten. The right to free speech does not extend to private forums -- here, it is a privilege, and people who abuse it can be banned from ever viewing any part of this site.
