I'm one of the many that jumped over to this board when the previously popular utah fishing message board was dying 16 years ago. I don't remember the name of it anymore, but i seem to remember the biggest problem was trolls and idiots treating each other like crap.
While some don't like boards being moderated, the lack of moderation is much worse. The useful information gets lost in the garbage and eventually nobody will visit the site anymore.
Look at all the garbage on the utah fishing groups on Facebook. It's very hard to find a useful post. Too many fake reports or fake tips, and every report of success is met with someone pointing out something they did wrong instead of celebrating with them.
"You are holding it wrong" "you should have released it" "you should have kept it" "why did you post about my favorite spot" etc, etc.
While those same things happen here, and are often valid points, it gets way too negative and is frankly tiring seeing the posts on Facebook.
I far prefer here where it is controlled and there are also organized boards for specific topics. It's also easier to find a thread on a topic rather than scrolling through tons of posts to find a tidbit of useful info.
Keep this site running!!
