at the risk of being banned

I can't believe that cl has been banned, I thought that the rules of the forum were just guidelines and posts were only taken off if there wa over the top advertising (which probably would ruin the forum).
Personally I would really like to see photos of stallions youngstock, whether they are posted by the stallion owner or not. I don't think posting photos of youngstock on here would affect the way they advertise.

Didn't want to post the photo in here as sire and dam, both on my property, are named. On the other hand, I don't give a toot if I am banned or not, and if anyone wants to bitch then they'll have to do it in public because I don't accept pms.

And I'm still here - and it was ME who added the link! :rolleyes: And my thread about my latest Archie colt is still here: while I (regrettably) don't own Archie, I HAVE got a LOT of youngsters by him which will be advertised and sold in due course! They'll be advertised on the Irish Draught web site - and if I get banned from here - in Horse Deals!!

I'm afraid TFC has lost the plot! NO professional stud owner would run their business, promote their stallion, or sell their youngsters based on posts on HHO's breeding forum! No - we advertise PROPERLY - in titles such as - guess what - Horse & Hound!!

Even if by chance we sold a foal - or got an extra nomination to a stallion as a result of posts on this forum - it sure wouldn't reduce our advertising budget!

The hobby breeder with just the one foal probably stands a better chance of achieving the one sale they might want - and even if they advertise it on H&H, they sure won't post the number of ads professional breeders would.

ROFPMSL!! Funniest thing I have seen in ages :D:D:D:D:D:D Awesome!
 
it thinks its a bit ott as how on earth do you except british breeding to grow and help produce new stock for the future if you can't show photos of A) the stallions themselves and B) the foals so you can see the stallions strengths and weaknesses? however other people can get away with blatant advertising including links to advert etc and not have it removed.
 
Well I for one dont believe it is all down to people pushing the button I believe that we are also monitored. Dont care what the fat controller states, I think they pane these threads & keep an eye on us all. I will buy the odd issue, but I dont feel H&H offer great value anymore & I would not use them to advertise anymore either. I think they do a cr@p job at supporting UK Breeders anyway.

Not sure if she was banned but I know she was warned. That's why we never see anything about the gorgeous Louis (Future Illusion) or his beautiful babies.
 
I'm afraid I think the person doing admin is over zealous these days by a long way.
Read the description of what the breeding forum is supposed to be for, sharing experiences etc, how on earth can we do that if so many things are banned?
I don't think it's button pushers at fault but a misunderstanding of what is needed to attract people to a forum, oppressive rules, frequent bans for small infringements of rules is hardly going to encourage anyone to stay.
Take note admin, probably 85% of former daily members on breeding forum have decamped to a more open environment, where the only time we return is because someone posts on there of yet another rule or bannning.
Pictures are freely posted, there are no fights/rows etc and a spirit of support exists.
Funnily enough I seem to recall the present HH breeders forum being set up for those very reasons ....what happened?
 
LynneB,

I'm becoming ever more disheartened at the stance taken by those who own this forum.

Breeding will logically involve foals. Foals will logically involve 'photos: that's the way it works. By posting those 'photos, could someone explain to me HOW T.. F... IPC media are loosing out on sales, or revenue?

Would it really be so difficult for others to accept, that those who breed horses take a great deal of pride, in their efforts?

If the H&H were to offer more, in the way of content, then they may well find that sales, and therefore the vital degree of revenue, would increase. This forum can do them no harm, and would be viewed as a promotional vista for them, by those who are only occasional purchasers of their journal.

If IPC media insist upon a sessile stance, then they will be the poorer for it. I'm so sorry that the current stance is in place, and that you've been upset. It isn't good enough.

Perhaps if Admin read these posts, they would be kind enough to offer an explanation for such intransigence.

Alec.

So am I advertising if I post pictures of my horse which I will eventually sell? This is so ridiculous! I don't care if studs post pictures of their foals on here - I don't consider it advertising and I just like seeing the photos. It isn't a form of advertising that will ever affect the revenue of Horse&Hound and it just takes away a lot of fun from the rest of us. :(
 
This is getting RIDICULOUS. I have some beautiful babies, but don't bother to put up pictures, as I too have been the victim of the 'button pusher' whoever you may be!!!

The whole value of a forum revolves around having experienced contributors, at this rate there will be none left!

Seriously. I joined for the foal photos. I love reading this part of the forum, even though I have bugger-all that's useful to contribute, bar the occasional name suggestion. I've been here a year and I was looking forward to watching the young-uns grow up.

If photos aren't allowed, couldn't an enterprising, devious seller of horses determined to exploit the poor, susceptible readers of HHO just provide lavish descriptions instead? You know, "Here's my new Totilas clone, he's 17hh, pure black and already doing canter pirouettes"?
