screening new members?

new members suddenly showing up on WFF sure seem like trolls...hopefully a way to shut the door on their fingers if they show up here..?
 
I think some of them were old members that were banned, at least that's what someone told me. Other new accounts are people from here trolling, i think. Who knows.
 
I think the OP was saying that the new people who signed up there seem like VS spies trying to tamp down the rabble rousers? And hopefully they don't make their way to this forum.
 
They let me in here. I’m a dirt bag gear chucker on the side. I hope they keep the standards low….. ;)

I'd be surprised if that was the case.
They don't have the time or care, 0 moderators and the 1 Admin told us he was in charge of 100+ sites? Good luck if they can even find someone to be a mod over there.
 
It is kinda weird how many newer members all of the sudden are posting there. I'm still wondering how it's going for Mike...¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I hope he's ok.



on a serious note, I'm just really glad that this forum happened...
 
Are they really new members? Or is it a bunch of WFF members who have joined here and changed their name? (some are pretty damn funny!).
 
I remember a similar ruckus when spey pages was sold. Someone started the Big Stick forum in reaction, and there was a lot of back and forth. Big stick forum kinda died on the vine, but I think that this is a healthier bunch of folks over here. You want bitterness, anger, and recriminations, just give a bunch of spey anglers something trivial to fight over.
 
I had to leave somebody over there a message so I had to log back in. I did and I left a message to one. Sure sounds like they have no direction over there.
 
A quick look through the new members doesn't show anything amiss. Probably just word getting around the PNW about the forum. With any luck, we'll see more of it in the upcoming months.

As @sal_the_salmon posted under the "Awesome Job Opportunity with a fly fishing brand" listing. They might be looking for Mike's replacement since everyone left the WFF so qwik.. just a thought ;)

Certainly seems little weird over there. I was getting invitations to join conversations that were started years ago. Not sure what was up with that.
