How about an non moderated sub forum where anything goes.....enter at your own risk....

That's not happening... Sorry!

Why? 

Other forums have tried that. Didn't work.

I belong to one currently, which has an anything goes section, and it works great.  I think you're selling the "privileged" members here short, by saying they couldn't handle it.

I guess that the lesson is that if you make calls, you have to pay Shannon to post there.
I was given no warnings and only rarely post there.

A site run like that, and your willing to go back knowing this ?

That's what Mods are for. You can always enjoy the other, if your not happy here, Right ?

We are all adults here, it sure would be nice to be able to have adult conversations.  Seems like this site has lost several members due to censoring, even as recent as a few days ago.

Great words indeed, adult converstion by adults, right on, I am with you on that one.  But when things go south and people are attacked then I am not with you on that part.  Just go back to the simple basic rules list on this forum on how and why things get pulled or people get banned (Cross those norms).  You never know who or what is next!

So here are the 5 golden rules (of course at any time we may have to add additional ones!

1.    Absolutely no personal attacks on individuals or other forums!  This will not be tolerated in any manner!  Be nice.  This is one of the rules that will have no warnings for being banned.  Cross the line and you will be gone!

2.    No profanity!  Keep it clean and fun!

3.    I will give one warning for anything out of line.  After that, no excuses.  Let's have fun and be friends.

4.    Internet Proxies are not allowed.  Osage Roost will not approve any accounts coming from known Proxy sites.

5.    Have fun, but stirring the pot for a knee jerk reaction, or the berating and/or the belittling of other members will not be tolerated!

6.    Unsolicited Advertising is prohibited!

7.    Abusive PM's are not allowed nor tolerated!
These rules were made By Mr. Porter

Mods are for the open forum.  The Anything Goes is not moderated and people can venture in and discuss topics without them getting moved, or the user banned.

As for your last comment, you are correct and that is where i spend the majority of my time.  At one time, this was where i hung out primarily.

Yeah, I'd have a hard time going back, knowing what West Augusta said.

Have learned if there is nothing good to say about a particular topic, to say nothing. In the long run we will feel better to spread goodness instead of negativity. Some can't stand to stay quiet but, that is just thier present personal path.

Is the goal to improve the sound of one's call?  If so, blowing smoke isn't helping anyone.  H3ll, we might as well make this emoticon ( ) mandatory for every response, when discussing sound and looks.  Everyone gets a trophy!

They took one of the public duck site forums in one of the states and did that.  Works out quite well. Invitation only.

OG kicked me off and I did not bother to ask why,

Kip that's all fine and good but who is to say what is good and what isn't.  Is telling the truth good?  Is telling a lie good?  Why should someone remain silent if they have something to say?  Who makes that call?

The moderators have the final say based on the criteria Mike Porter set forth.  If you do not agree with them maybe your other forum that is much better is the place to be for you.....just sayin!

I think another motto should be, "Do not start a fire among a bunch of pyromaniacs unless you have the water to suppress the flames"

I credit anyone with the Kahunas to post a soundfile, Matt Van Cise could post an anonymous sound file on some boards and get flamed.. But some of the soundfiles I have heard posted makes me wonder if the guy has ever heard others run a similar calling device or even listens to turkeys.. Its not only sound files but guys will post videos or stories about crawling behind a decoy and shooting a gobbler bragging or taking excessively long shots bragging and believe everyone is gonna sit back and pat them on the behind.. Folks surely cannot be so naive???

Like the above motto if you are going to post something that has a high probability of being met with criticism, don't post it, be prepared to defend yourself, or have thick skin..
