Title: applaud & Smite
Post by: Tatanka on January 27, 2009, 18:09:42 CET
Could anyone explain why people just decide to smite people's profiles with out letting the user know why he is being been giving negative feedback. If  they do not let the user know why , he is going to keep on doing it. As far as I would like to think this should be a forum & is where we can let each other know so we can learn from each other.

I agree with you since you dont get a "reason" for the smite.

@ lapsi, One of your smites belong to me and the reason was that you once commented on a picture of a catch by a friend of yours, 90% of the fish where very small and instead of trying to encourage him to release such catches you told him " if you catch them dont post a pic in here". Simple matter :) nothing to argue about but at that point in time I tought it wasent something you should have told him.

It's a feature that can be removed if the general feeling is that it would be better without.

in my opinion it does not make a real difference. i only used this feature in comments. you earned one in fact from me lapsiboy, when you went with the kons for brieqex, they were undersized.

when i was 10 yrs old and with no education on fishing i would maybe have accepted it, but now that we have a forum and we are sharing experiences and ourselves, i would expect that you give the example, especially when you share some nice lizz catches. you're not the type of guy that needs to go for brieqex in my humble opinion..... :-[

Your right mate, Im sure EVERYONE caught a couple of brieqex at some point.Personally i only did it once bil konz and wont again becuase it's no fun.. id rather catch 1 nice fish then a hundred brieqex! but thanks for teeling me il be more careful..I think we should rename this topic to Lapsiboy's Fishing sin's :P (joking)

Not that I want to stand up for LapsiBoy but I think it's quite impossible to practise catch and release with brieqex... Usually they swallow the whole hook very deep down and if you try to release them they don't manage to swim down... they stay afloat and die! Putting them in the pic is however another issue!

The catch and release can be practiced on any fish. If the fish swallow the hook just cut the hook and do not try to pull it out. The hook will be disintegrated within few days.

I dont think the once of my konz will because they are all stainless steel!

Lapsi boy the konz hooks are not made of stainless steel.  The ones of stainless are not suitable for long lines due to their expensive price and they tend to bend a lot.  However mulett not all hooks disintegrate in a few days. eg the mustad used for knuz and the vmc won't in a few days.  there are special hooks that however do corrode in a few days.  a number of the owner hooks do corrode in a few daysm these are the ones mr fish sells in packets.

Ganni they are stainless steel..It's a plastic container they are mustad i bought them from Mr.fish especialy for this konz (Tas-sargi)(Mitlaq). And also when a fish is caught on a konz the probability is that it comes out dead or very weak!

Guys may I ask something related on the catch and release system plus on the knuz tal qieh.

When caught bottom fish tend to come up to my hook with a sort of air balloon in their mouth.  It sort of contains their internal orgins.  Is a fish able to have this back to place and relive normally??

I was very fond of long liners till some years ago.  Sometimes I have experimented with different types of hooks and bait.  Sometimes I left knuz for days due to bad weather.  I remember one which we left for 5 days the sea was too rough to pull it up safely. 

All the hooks were there and not disintegrated  or do they disintegrate because of some acid the fish release?

thanks

mellieha fish that come up with the swolen swimming bladder can never make it back!! and mellieha as i said most normal hooks don't corrode in a few days, they have to be of special material, otherwise as you said your long line would have been hookless haha

just to make myself more clear lapsiboy that i don't have anything wrong against the by catch of brieqex, but specifically going for them.... that is a whole other story

better 100 days of non catching and then be rewarded with some nice fish than 100 days of fishing for brieqex

and you lapsiboy, you catch some nice fish and don't need any brieqex in my opinion.

brieqex are very ignorant and bite whatever you fish with but one has to note that they represent part of the ecosystem. the nature wants them to be abundant, and we must strive to keep them abundant. using bait that yields good fish only is a good solution

Another 44 and I will rank 100 smites...WOW...do I win something for this? LOL
I prefer words...applause/smite without giving reasons does not make any sense. I like/dislike something I post it down.

Keep those smites coming...LOL...whoever you are :)
Title: Re: applaud & Smite
Post by: LapsiBoy on January 29, 2009, 21:44:17 CET
Spnotta look on the bright side ...Another 95 applaud and youll reach 100 :P. No but realy Skip i think it would be a nicer thing to take the applaud smite thing off. And i will tell you why, if a new member enters the site he will immediatly think bad about (Example):Spnotta which isn't fair. Its sort off like labeling. Also we cant learn from a - , but we can if someone points out if someone does something bad (Everyone does).

Post by: SPNOTTA on January 29, 2009, 22:01:35 CET
Neh LapsiBoy...better to stick to the smites...95 is a long way...as for the smites....ONLY 44 TO GO...at this rate in a few months I would have reached my target. :)

I am really laughing like craZY on my desk and was really tempted to do as you told me, as a joke I would have loved to also give you a smite (as you asked) but then it would be too much.. :D :D ;D ;D ;D ;D

You asked for it, :D

Topic Locked: Started off as a serious question, turned on Page 2 completely off topic about hooks etc and then ended up as a joke, so I think it's clear that the Karma thing is pretty pointless and has been disabled for the time being.
