Ifish Simplified AUP

[Jennie@ifish]

Please occasionally read the long and boring AUP from time to time to make sure you still agree! It is updated sometimes.
Our goal at ifish is a self moderated board.
Remember: No one likes to be moderated!
Our goal at ifish is a self-moderated board. We are posting this simplified AUP to try to cut down on the need to moderate.
Simply follow the rules and we can self moderate the board! Easy!

NOTICE: The member made rules for the classifieds, are that you may not post here, unless you have at least 50 posts, and that you be a member of ifish for at least 90 days.

Step one. Moderate yourself.
Step Two. Report problems by those who aren't self moderating by using the alert button , to the left and bottom of each post.

Ifish Mission Statement:

Ifish.net is an online resource for people that are passionate about outdoor recreation, primarily fishing and hunting, and share a deep-rooted desire to be an active member of the largest community of like-minded sportsman and women.

Like its constituents, ifish honors character, integrity and respect above all else.
We are purveyors of a new generation of internet forum peacefulness, where collaboration, information and education are the forefront of our existence, and discourtesy is not tolerated.

This “community” has built ifish.net by ourselves and for ourselves with the intention of leaving the legacy to future generations of ifishers.
