Terms of Use for The BASS ZONE Message Board

 

In an effort to create a message board in which the content is "primarily" fishing related, additional conditions are being placed on the terms to use the message board.

Over the past months some BZ viewers have enjoyed and some BZ viewers have been annoyed by the daily dose of comedy and comments of a few faithful BZ Message Board users.  I can honestly say that some of the comments were funny but, the focus on the subject at hand has become somewhat lost.

The purpose of the BZ Board is to allow the viewers to communicate via the web about the subject of fishing.  Fishing info, questions about lakes, lures, equipment, conditions, and other bassin' stuff.  I just think the focus needs to change.  Positive comments and post from positive viewers wanting to learn and enjoy information on fishing in the 4 state area.

There are 2 new conditions for using the BZ board:

1. All post must be related to fishing while following the current conditions and guidelines of the BZ board

2. Think before you post.

I appreciate all the loyal BZ viewers over the past 5 years and hope everyone understands the need to become focused on  fishing.  I hope TEAM Hootie and other BZ viewers will continue to be a part of the BZ board communicating their words of wisdom on the subject of fishing.  Feel free to send any comments via e-mail at mark@basszone.com
