I posted two links to this site on novascotiahunting.com today and now I can't post. No explanation or anything. The only reason I can figure is because I linked to this site. Is that really how they run things over there?

Well, I sent this to the admins of novascotiahunting.com last night and today my posts are gone and I'm not just banned from posting but banned from the site altogether. Is that site run by 12 year olds?
Hi,
Today I made a couple of posts on novascotiahunting.com and now I seem to be banned from posting. My user name is Gọọgle.
My posts don't violate any of the terms, conditions or rules of the site. I don't have any messages on the site explaining what I did wrong.
I'm curious as to why I was banned. The only possible reason I can think of is that I linked to another forum that discusses hunting and fishing in Nova Scotia. Is that how petty the moderators of novascotiahunting.com are? If so, can you provide of list of any other web sites that linking to will result in a ban? Are there any other unwritten rules I need to know in order to keep from being banned from that site?
I look forward to an explanation.

Welcome to the club Google. There are a few of us on here who have experienced the same issues with NSH and also NSF, although the two sites aren't related officially. The original reason for starting this forum was to give people a voice and not have to worry about being shouted down by over-opinionated members who go running to the moderator, who is a personal friend of theirs, each time they get told they're wrong.
On HuntNS you will find that all voices and opinions are heard and that there shouldn't be any overbearing or animosity.
You can post links to other sites from here as much as you wish without fear of being banned or warned either.
Cheers
Ken

I dont care either way about the links and website politics, but why wouldnt you just link the video and not the website?

I don't know how and I didn't know that acknowledgin that this site exists would get me banned. Does posting links to any other hunting site get you banned? I don't even know because it's a weird unwritten rule.
Now it's just spite.

Well....if you look at it from their point of view. There was some silly politics and arguments going on....then a new account signs up and the first thing they start posting is links to a site they seem to be having an issue with. It does look like a sad attempt to pull traffic from their page to this one.
Then you look at the contributions you made here, and it's just complaints about that site....so it all just looks like more silly politics. lol
I understand their actions. I think it's all foolishness of course, but it does look strange.

Markus I can see both sides of this. But the NSH site has no issues with other sites being references, CGN and others. Seems it is this site in particular that the Mods have issues with. The petty Politics has been going on for a while. Also you make ref to arguments, I sure get that. There is a thread there right now that has been reincarnate about Antler restriction/QDM. That was flogged to death, with casualties, about 2 months back. Watch where it goes. LOL

I think it's all foolishness of course, but it does look strange. Yeah, I guess if you're crazy paranoid about another website stealing all your users away you could have that point of view. Of course it could just be that someone saw something cool on the internet and wanted to share it. Someone from work told me to check this site out. I didn't know there was some kind of history or stupid grudge going on. And you're surprised my posts here are complaints about that site? They banned me with no warning or explanation for trying to contribute. I can't complain there, I'm banned. There's nothing political about my posts there since, it's all just simple petty spite. They can suck it.

As specified before Google you won't get banned from this site and you can post links to other hunting/fishing/outdoor related sites on here. It's crazy to ban people just because they like to get a different viewpoint but the moderator over at NSH has his own opinion, as well as others on the site, and they don't feel that other people should have a different opinion. I got banned from there because I spoke my mind and stated that a member was getting too much Greenpeace/Friends of the Earth and starting to go anti-hunting, that was the original reason for this forum starting up. I felt we needed a forum where people could have a friendly banter without getting other opinions rammed so far down their throat they nearly crapped them out the following day.
With HuntNS there are 2 administrators at the moment and 1 moderator, who is respected by all on the site as he was nominated by multiple members. If other members wish to become moderators or join the 'staff' team then they can do by sending myself or lguthro a PM with details of why they wish to join the team, such as create a board and manage it.
I hope you enjoy your time on here though and I enjoy reading your contributions.
Cheers
Ken

Since my nomination as Mod on this site I have not once had to warn any member. I view the site daily. The current respect and maturity shown here will likely mean that I will not have to warn anyone either. Keep the great posts and open minded opinions coming. Respect others opinions. Links to other sites are no issue here. Have a great day!
