casual discussion hunting sub-forum

update just goto irc.shroomery.org port 9999 for ssl #hunting its not as convenient or on the go as forums though
Plus Ythan said if people and mods show that they really want a sub forum he will do it
Well you make a good case , I'll add it if there's demand so let's hear from some other users and mods of the hunting forum. In the meantime I added #hunting to the forum list. -Ythan
---------------- Ok i made a post in Website Announcements and Feedback http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Cat/0/Number/7998634/an/0/page/0
But because we don't have a sub forum to talk about these types of things i know my thread will probably get locked.
Have a heart this is a direct issue of the hunting forum =-O

I wouldn't go there. BUT I'm also not protesting the Weather rule, so some of you guys contesting the rules better speak up and give some opinions on this!

I don't think it would be a big deal if the weather rule was just loosened up a bit, allowing someone who posts an informative mushroom post to touch on weather. Or a subforum. The only problem I can see is finding someone who would want to moderate it...implee?

A subforum would be best though, because you could post pics of all kinds of things you wanted help with iding. Trees, flowers, plants, birds, the list goes on. It would be beautiful!

Yeah i know it could be something magical and wonderful where our kind get to chat it up about everything...
But "it would be too hard to moderate.."
Ive been on the IRC but i keep missing the few minute long conversations ..
Also about 4 people have came in asking for wild game and rifle/shotgun advice so far
<satcom> anyone here go pheasant hunting? <satcom> im buying a remington 870 12 guage for pheasant/grouse <satcom> do you think its worth spending $100 more for the express model? (it can fire 3 1/2" magnum shells) ----------------- theonlyjohnson> i want to go out to springfield and do some shooting <adrug> its not that kind of #hunting :p <theonlyjohnson> what do you mean? <theonlyjohnson> what kind of hunting is this? <adrug> mushroom hunting <theonlyjohnson> oh...hrmmmm <theonlyjohnson> deer is much tastier
Ive only been able to catch a few conversations, the rest is just hi, hi, then idleness

Uhhh, the point of a sub-forum or chat (in my eyes anyway) would be a place for the "n00bs" to go and talk all about the weather or whatever they want.
The problem with a sub-forum is that I would not want to moderate a forum with tons of off topic chatting. Maybe GGreatOne would, but I have no idea.
ToxicMan, GGreatOne234, and I are discussing the matter.

No way, there may be some of that, but it would be a place for veteran hunters to talk, and post pictures that don't necessarily have much to do with mush hunting. There arn't even enough people to fill it up with just weather talk. I can see why you wouldn't want to mod it though. But, there's gotta be someone out there who's perfect for the job.

Curecat the point would be for the hunting 'veterans' to have a place to chat about whatever they want instead of having ot post in the pube or OTD
Noobs would be annoying... I dont think the idea was every to let noobs talk about weather thats shitty.. Have you not read any of my posts? Ignoring me like usual?
It would be like the pube for hunters (because hunters tend to like talking with their own, but cant because of all the rules and restrictions) atleast thats how i think it would be in my head...

Noobs ask repetitive questions thats why i figured something like 100-200 posts they would wise up the rules before making dumb threads.
But its not going to happen because the mods are closed minded

Okay. I'm saying, the sub-forum CAN be for n00bs to talk about weather. And the veterans or WHOEVER can go an talk about whatever they want as well. I won't be in charge of sub-forum rules or conduct, i just want to keep the discussion that goes on in THERE out of HERE.

Nah you know what you should do,
Make a sub-forum for ID requests and then open this forum up a little to a bit more general conversation. Not pub conversation though, i mean seriously is it that hard to use the pub?
Sub-forum for ID requests only makes more sense.

the idea was that the hunting people (a kind of their own) would be able to post where other hunters would see instead of having to goto the pube or OTD (where hunters wouldnt see because the pube is gay and otd would flame them and tell them to gtfo)

for sure. That's one of the points. Hopefully it would lessen the amount of off topic stuff that gets posted in the main forum. There's plenty of people who read the rules of the hunting forum, but just can't help posting something off topic, because they don't know where else to post it. If it's slow for a while that's alright. I think eventually people will start to like it.

No. I don't want the Mushroom Hunting Forum having more general discussion. I like that this forum is a pretty specific interest group. If I want to chit chat (which i rarely do) I'll go to another forum.

The hunting forum is a library of info that can get cluttered at times with people, me included, who occasionaly like to talk to other hunters that they respect. But mushrooms arn't always the sole reason for the conversation. A subforum allows this to happen, while keeping the main forum healthy, and to the point.

If there is, then someone should start a thread discussing SOMETHING. Not just starting a thread FOR discussion, and not contributing anything. So, if you start a thread with a question or comment that is not against the rules, and relates to mushrooms, and suggest others join in, that's fine.

An ID request sub-forum was too slow? Half the posts here are ID requests. Were people just ignoring it or something.. that sucks.
Anyway i think the current setup works pretty well.

The chat room is doing well so far. Several of you have joined, which is good, because I'm not much of a hunter. The channel is registered and a few people that are either hunters or experienced IRC ops are being given aops to help keep the order (not that I expect we'll have many problems with keeping order right away).
So far we've had a total of 1 n00b show up, and he didn't bother asking any questions before he left, so I'm not too worried about a huge influx of stupidity. At least not until the season starts back up again. Right now its just a nice place for hunters to go chat, if they so desire. I encourage you all to come. You too, CureCat!
Please keep in mind that IRC chat can be much slower pace than the forums, especially in a new channel. You may come in and everyone may be idle. I urge you to stick around though! People will speak eventually.

I haven't read much of this post and I haven't yet been to the chat room but I will say that I would enjoy a casual sub-forum.
I can't even count the number of times that I have wanted to just ask a quick question regarding something involving mushroom hunting that I couldn't really make a new topic for. These questions ranged from asking about equipment, spores, identification tips, weather, habitat questions, and of course questions about specific mushrooms. Of course I can probably find what I'm looking for in a search but it would be awesome to just have a layed back area for questions and discussion of things that aren't necessarily as general as the stuff in this forum.
So in other words, I would love a sub-forum and I will also check out the chat room. Good idea.

I do not think that the "Noobs" and veterans of the forum should be divided.
implee, if you are so hell bent on avoiding newbies, go to the Veterans Forum (That is available to people who are no longer Newbies).
The hunting moderators are working on a revision to the Weather Rule #5, and it might included some added bits of flexibility.
I used to smoke Cannabis constantly. It impares my memory. I have done searches at the hunting forum from only two years ago or less and read some of the things I typed back then not recognizeing a single bit of any of it. With that said, (very foggy), I think that Gumby once had it in the rules to not make duplicate topics asking about things that have already been discussed and beat into the ground hundreds of times. A example here is that topic about Panaeolina and Panaeolus subbalteatus I locked (and also lost my cool and had a flamewar with scout24). Look in the search engine man, you will find at least a hundred topics about that same exact subject and thousands of replies.. so, I have been blindly enforcing a rule still that does not (or possibly never?) even excisted. My appologize. That is another thing that will be brought up with the other hunting moderators in private.
Right now this main hunting forum is most important and needs a little bit of adjustments, so bare with us during the process.

why would i post in teh veterans lounge? Noone gets my fucking point of mushroom huntnig people wanting to chill with their own kind NOT OTHER GOD DAMN FORUMS
Now do you understand or will i have to repete myself over and over and over again? Ive already explained this probably 5 times

I guess i dont really see the need. We already have a place for mushroom hunting people to chill were in it now actually.
We even just got a brand new IRC channel thanks to adrug. A new subforum just seems like overkill.

Ive never really had a problem. If you make a post and you have a hunting story to tell with some pics and you mention that the weather was nice they wont delete your post.
If you make a post where the content of the post IS the comment on how its nice outside, then yes it will probobly be deleted, as it should be.

IMPLEE, drop it!!!!
We GET IT. We understand your point- we just don't agree!!! It is not going to pan out like that. I'm sorry.
Who told you that a sub-forum with new people would be too hard to moderate??? It certainly wasn't me. I told you that I didn't have the TIME or INTEREST in moderating a sub-forum.

I would like to see an unmoderated hunting forum. A place where I could answer questions about what mushrooms grow in my area, incomplete ID requests, etc.
I specialize in incomplete ID requests, so I hate to see them locked.

As you well know, some mushrooms are easier identified than others. Some, all we need is a camera phone image and we can say "oh, that's Chlorophyllum molybdites". Others, like that damn bluing Hebeloma or whatever, are really hard to identify even WITH all the info provided!
So like... I don't see how you can "specialize" in incomplete requests, that's silly. Anyone who can identify can make guesses with incomplete info.
But anyway, THIS forum is not going to change that durastically. We are considering a sub-forum.

> So like... I don't see how you can "specialize" in incomplete requests, that's silly. Anyone who can identify can make guesses with incomplete info.
I enjoy the extra challenge, often I am able to read between the lines and infer the missing information. Sometimes threads get locked because there is not a proper description, and I know what it is and can't say.

Yeah dude, I know! It used to happen to me all the time- sometimes it still does!
The conflict is that if a new user comes on and just happens to have an easy mushroom, and we ID it with no info, then they often come back with a much more unusual or ambiguous find, and expect us to spit out an answer for them. Then when we refer them to the required ID info, they get pissed off and act like we owe them an answer, or that we know and just aren't telling them. ...
And i REALLY hate that shit.
I usually only lock an ID request if they have been referred to the rules and ID info, and continue to post in the thread without providing any further REQUIRED info. Just ignoring the rules. That's not okay with me, so I'll give them my best guess and lock it. They can always start a new thread with the required info if they are not satisfied with the answers.

A sub forum is a great idea but what would come of it after 3 months ,would a sub forum keep noobs from posting in it , I doubt it They like most of us all want questions answered ... The main forum is the main forum a sub forum would be for what excatly ?

Well, no one seems to agree what it should be for.
It will be up to the Mushroom Hunting Forum moderators to decide IF there will be a sub-forum, and then if so, what it will be for. We will take everyones opinion into consideration, but we don't promise to please everyone with the final decision (that would of course, be impossible). When we have sorted everything out, there will be an announcement.

GGreatOne234 said: With that said, (very foggy), I think that Gumby once had it in the rules to not make duplicate topics asking about things that have already been discussed and beat into the ground hundreds of times. A example here is that topic about Panaeolina and Panaeolus subbalteatus I locked (and also lost my cool and had a flamewar with scout24). Look in the search engine man, you will find at least a hundred topics about that same exact subject and thousands of replies.. so, I have been blindly enforcing a rule still that does not (or possibly never?) even excisted. My appologize. That is another thing that will be brought up with the other hunting moderators in private.
A rule prohibiting questions on topics that are considered 'already covered' is a terrible idea. The best aspect of a message board is that it is a dynamic source of information. This is particularly beneficial given the evolving nature of mushroom hunting knowledge.
Panaeolina foenesecii vs. Panaeolus subbalteatus is the perfect example. Yes, the topic has been discussed heavily and there are three subbalteatus 'guides' available through the forum. Yet, in the short time that I shared the forum with MJshroomer, author of one of these guides, he stubbornly insisted that subbalteatus rarely grows on grass. The fact is, it is common on grass. Had I merely had MJshroomer's guidance available, I wouldn't had even bothered looking in the grass. That would have been an unfortunate loss.
The thread locked by GGreatOne legitimately asked whether subbs and foes could be distinguished in the field by gill spacing. Are you proposing that questions on the topic of subb v. foes not be allowed? That's absurd. Moderators should be enforcing discreet rules, not passing judgment on the merits of each and every thread.

implee, I bet that I could find shrooms right now in east Texas.
scout24, it was strange with Mushroom John and the subbalteatus. angryshroom was showing humungous hauls coming in from lawns but for some reason mj continued to claim that they did not grow in lawns (even though he saw plenty of solid proof that they did). At the time it just might not have been well known.. and I do not think that PMOTW says anything about subbs growing in lawns.
I requested several weeks ago that Gumby get in to gear and change a few things with his guide that I mentioned to him. Perhaps there will be a note next to that link to Gumbys guide on the rules page that says in red that there are some inaccuracies that are waiting to be corrected (plus the links to his image galleries on that guide are broken). There is a red note next to mj's "Shroomerys Ultimate Guide to Mushroom Hunting" also, and that is another thing on the list that needs improvement (I was browsing through it the other day and saw quite a few mistakes).
And it was like I mentioned to you, you had a good picture of the two mushrooms to share, you should have just created a new topic for it, it would have been a better platform for discussion then not having a photograph to share. Again I suppose that topic should not have been locked..
One thing at a time though guys. Thanks for all of your input it is very helpful. We are going to have to put any sub-forum ideas on the back-burner for a bit.. the first thing to do is to make the forum we already have here the best that it can be.

I posted the image in response to the OP's question. I wouldn't have posted it otherwise.
My point is that it shouldn't be up to a few moderators to determine that a topic is 'completely covered' and therefore closed.

the hunting forum is right up there with one or two others with crazy stupid rules and overly-enthusiastic moderation (oh my god, they mentioned its gonna rain somewhere... lock it quick... for the children)
A sub forum would be cool and wouldn't clog up the forum list.
but then again, i just read, never post here, and don't know shit about the topics discused... so take this for what you will; maybe the people who actually post here are in agreement about the horrors of weather discusion (oh, the banality of evil)

yea, thats why I want an OTD or something in the hunting forum, for weather and unrelated things. Its not that big of a deal, I mean obv the people who primarily post in here would like to discuss other things that would get locked in an instant, so I think it would only make sense if those things are prohibited to being discussed then a sub forum seems to make quite alot of sense. Yes the argument can be made that we have other sections in the site, like the PUB and otd but like said before, a majority of the people who can concentrate long enough to read an entire post are not the people likely to have anything worthy to contribute to any discussion nor no the answer to anything wildlife/forest related.

why does it have to be for anything? I think its pretty obvious at this point in time that it would be for everything mushroom hunting related, that seems to want to be discussed but doing so is against the rules. I honestly dont see the big deal here.

I agree with alan, I'd like to see an informal subforum. I'd have used that alot more this year than the mushroom hunting forum Have a look at my gallery, just b/c mushroom hunting is slow, doesn't mean everything is. I enjoyed looking at the songbird thread, not mushrooms, but... I don't mind the n00bs either, hell I was a n00b once too I agree with GG about the weather rule, too. There's nothing wrong with talking about the weather, it's those "It's raining, will it be good hunting 6.5 hrs. from now" threads that are cited, IMO. I'd be willing to donate some of my time to keeping it orderly, too.

Well, there shouldn't be anyone under 18 on this site, so pedophilia shouldn't be an issue. Why the fuck would a pedophile try to pick up little boys on a psychedelic mushroom sight anyway?

Completely untrue. I was just outside and there was no rain anywhere, not even a cloud in sight.
