I have to tell you, that there is way too much nonsensense that happens on this sight. The trash talk is ridiculous! This is a social site based on golf. The things that happen on this sight would never be tolerated on a golf course. I think certain folks need to keep that in mind before they pen anything! Opinions are important and everyone has them, how they are delivered in many cases should not be tolerated on this sight. STOP, and think before you pen! IT IS OLD, and with the changes going on here it is getting harder and harder to even log on here anymore!

Golf being a game I only play for fun I certainly disagree with you. While I agree that in a professional aspect there is certainly a no nonsense approach. Personally when golfing with friends for FUN we constantly joke and try to get under each others skin, its what makes a golf game fun, joking around and giving each other a hard time while enjoying the game. I put cogolf thread in the off topic section because it was not related to golf, if thats not acceptable why have the off topic section at all.It didnt seem he had a problem with as most of the replies were by him and seemed to be taken by him as joking around. I dont really see why you are whining about it. if you don't understand see forum rules

Off-Topic does not give people the right to ask others how they feel about members on this site. If people have issues with members deal with it in other ways. Off Topic is just that, March Madness. Baseball. I will not have a forum up and running where bashing a member would be given a chance to hurt. Just keep personal stuff to yourself and deal with whatever issues you might have with others somewhere else. People don't want to read all the BS, trust me I get people telling me daily. Just use the forums for healthy conversation, thats all I ask. Thanks Awesome Chad as it should be!

You using the term whine is a perfect example. Do you purposely try to piss people off, seems to me you do, and that is not what the majority of Stracka members are here for.

I think people should treat this site similar to what in my opinion is the #1 term in golf: ETIQUETTE Golfers should demonstrate courtesy and sportsmanship at all times, irrespective of how competitive they may be. The overriding principle is that consideration should be shown to others on the course at all times. And with all do respect vannydan. With your comments on how you and your friends enjoy getting under each others skin, joking around, having fun. I wouldn't be able to play with you guys. Thats not what golf is about. You may think well then I'm just way too serious and don't have fun. I have alot of fun, I enjoy the game everytime out with my friends and I really don't take golf serious at all. Its a game, thats all it is to me, just a game. But its a game of etiquette, respect. Putt-Putt is a game to get under someones skin. Thanks Chad for the work you and the Stracka staff is doing.

THANK YOU CHAD! I hope you know darn well Vanny that I did not appreciate it AT ALL that you posted a forum you made for the sole purpose in your belief to get people to take free shots at me and criticize me. HOW DO YOU THINK I FEEL ABOUT THAT? I could go in a much longer rant but I'm not going to. Consider the whole thing done. I'm not even going to try to talk to you or Alstaxi or any of you anymore. Why should I when you try to make a public display out of negative things about me?

All, please do not forget the rules of the forums. Chad has the final say with any issue. 1. General Posting Rules While debating and discussion is fine, we will not tolerate rudeness, insulting posts, personal attacks, or purposeless inflammatory posts. These rules apply to all forums, comment threads, photos, blogs, videos and status messages. 1.1 No Flaming Be respectful, courteous and levelheaded. Don't make posts just for the sake of being rude. Please do not post any messages that harass, insult, belittle, threaten or flame another user. No foul language. Keep it clean. 1.2 No Trolling Please do not post any topic that disrupts the peace and harmony of this community. Put some thought into your posts. Refrain from posting meaningless threads or one word (or short) nonsense posts. Please do not post meaninglessly for the sake of increasing your activity and Stracka Points. No impersonating other members. Multiple identities and false e-mail addresses are not allowed. 1.3 No Spamming Please do not double post or cross-post the same message in multiple forums. Please do not mass-message or mass-email multiple members of this community the same message. No "running the site". Have balance and don't over-post in one day. High maintenance users can be asked to slow and or not post. 1.4 No Offensive Posts Please do not post any content that is obscene, vulgar, sexually-oriented, hateful, threatening, racist, sexist, discriminatory, or otherwise in violation of any local or international laws. Pictures with nudity are not allowed. Please uncheck the PG rating on pictures that "may" be considered objectional(kids, family, friends), which allows content to be filtered for the rest of the community. (You can turn 'Safe Search' off in your account settings if you want to see this content.) 2. Commercial Posts No unauthorized commercial postings without prior approval from management. Please respect sponsors. They provide critical financial support to this site. 3. Corrective Actions While these rules cover most common situations, they cannot anticipate everything. Consequently, we reserve the right to take any actions we deem appropriate to ensure this site is not disrupted or damaged in any way. Users can be suspended without warning, explanation, or appeal, at the sole discretion of the website's operator and moderation team. We do consider that some users may not be aware of our community rules and are otherwise good users. Our moderation team will try to warn users, but for serious violations and for users that have been warned before, bans may be implemented that range from 1 day to permanent. Additionally, the moderation team is not able to monitor every post on this site. That means we rely on our community to report posts that are causing problems, especially inflammatory or aggressive posts are are intended to cause problems. This also means that you don't reply to the posters that are trying to cause problems, because it just results in you getting in trouble as well. Send any reports or suggestions to customer support and let us handle the problem, it's what we're here for.
