Hammer Posts

[Tinkerbell]

Ok every one. This is just how I fell(so don't type back to loud).

Since I have been here, some things are becoming clear to me. Some of you think that it is your job to monitor the posts that come up.You seem to think that every time some one writes something that is not in line with what you know or think, that it must be stopped. Now I agree with every one that the medical and x-rated posts don't belong. But the forum was put out so that everyone can exspress their opinion about the bowling equipment they use, and to ask for help on what they don't know, or understand. It has gotten to the point with this that some people who used to be on here are no longer getting on to post with their opinions or their help. WHY? Because what they write might be taken the wrong way. Which means that some one is going to write someething back that is not nice to them. Now I know you can't please every one all of the time, but you can watch how you say it to them. Also keep in mind the HAMMER does monitor this site and I am sure if Hammer didn't want that person to post it would stop them. THE PLAYGROUND ATTITUDE SHOULD STOP.YOU ARE ALL OLD ENOUGH TO KNOW HOW TO BEHAVE IN PUBLIC!!!!

The other thing that is annoying. Sometimes when there is a post, and it can get long because of the back and forth comments, questions asked in that post don't get answered.NOW I AM NOT TRYING TO TELL EVERY ONE HOW TO ACT BUT REMEMBER, THIS WEB-SITE IS TO TALK TO OTHERS LIKE YOU AND EXCHANGE INFORMATION AND IDEAS...NOT INSULTS....USE THE PM FOR THAT.:(

Have those that have left moved on because of this forum or have they moved on just because it's the way of things?

I think this is a healthy forum with its fair share of banter and piss-take, however it all seems to be done in good sport and everyone remains friends at the end of it all. If people are particularly sensitive then sorry, but that's life.

Regarding Hammer - I would have assumed they read this anyway as it's their own forum - they'd be stupid not to.

I am new to posting on the forum, but have been reading for several months now.

I have to say that yes there are times when the banter back and forth is healthy and is generally forgiven.............and all end up friends at the end.

To Tinker's point though........lately comments have gotten very harsh and the threads have lacked purpose.

I am hear to read and learn about bowling, ask questions and hopefully get advice from those with the experience.

I can get drama a lot of other ways in my life...........don't need it on the bowling forum.

To those of you with the knowledge and experience that are here to help, don't let the acts of a few keep you from sharing with many. I know you all recognize that the good material in this forum doen't just benefit those that are posting exchanges. There are visitors reading and learning everday that you may never know about....you can have a positive influence on their game, love of the sport and even impact their perception of the Hammer brand.

Later!
