The whole thing seems completely crazy. And horrid that someone has done the reporting, even more so when you are dealing with all the distress of the past few days. It would be interesting to hear from admin their reasons for doing this, rather than your getting what sounds like a really rude and dismissive reply.
 
i am just wondering, was anything in the photos like a childs face or advertisement in the background. i know it along shot but maybe it WASNT the foals as such but something you didnt notice!!!! i know this is unlikely but i cant see why else someone would complain. after all if you dont want to look at photos of lovely foals then dont come to this section.:confused:
 
So it appears one rule for some and another for others!!

Hold your head high, someone is obviously V V jealous or your gorgeous little foal and decided to complain!

So why do people complain? Why do people do their level best to destroy the happiness of others?

I very rarely contribute to those who are proud, or in the case of tragedy, heartbroken. I look at the posts, but that's about it. Mostly, there is little that I can do to help.

I'm sure that the complainer will derive a great deal of glee from this thread, but the reasoning behind it is completely beyond me.

If the person who made representations to admin happens to read this, I for one would be genuinely impressed if you had the courage to stand up and own up, and whilst you're at it, then perhaps you could explain WHY you acted as you did. You wont respond, that we know, and we also know why.

For the rest of you, answer me this, "If admin were to bar anonymity, would that be such a bad thing?" Would it not put a stop to the vitriolic spite? There are a few on here who use their own names. Is it REALLY that difficult? (Soapbox accepted!) The more of you that do it, then the easier it will be to expose the Luddites.

eventrider23, I really am so sorry, that following tragedy, and trying to brighten your mood, you should have been hurt in this fashion. There can be no excuse for cruel and hurtful behaviour, especially when it's supported by cowardice.

Sod 'em. Chin up.

Alec.
 
This place is getting worse and worse, I cannot believe your post was removed. I love looking at the foal posts, how very petty and arrogant :mad:

I am actually very cross about this. what kind of sad individual would press the button on a foal post :mad::mad::mad:
 
Poxy button pushers:mad: I really look forward to seeing the pictures and hearing updates on everyones foals - especially Saffy and I never got to see the latest ones! So Eventrider23 if you could just let me know if there is anywhere else to view any pics of the gorgeous little lady I would much appreciate it as I think would many others:D xx
 
How ridiculous, I was happy snapping at the yard today and going to post some updates of my baby, seems now then that we are unable to "show off" our foals, its absolutely barking considering this is the breeding forum, and whoever "pushed the button" should be ashamed that they have nothing better to worry about. Personally I look forward to logging in here to see the pictures of the foals.
 
Thank you you guys - it is heart warming to know there are so many lovely people out here.

tontoandtigger - there is definitely no way there was anything in the background in the photos or anything anyone could take offense to as was pics in my own field and the only thing other than grass in the pictures was the filly - not even her mum so there is definitely no room for complaint in that respect!

I am totally with everyone that the breeding forum tends to be its own 'sect' almost and I for one and am so so do very few others, rarely venture out of it into the other rooms. I tend to come in here for updates on everyone's foals and youngstock and enjoy being able to see the baby's as they mature! So to be censured like this is just ridiculous....I can understand it from the fact that yes it is list in the T's & C's as stated, however why one earth has mine been singled out when there are sooo many other updated posts??

Just baffling and yes I agree I would love to know who pushed the report button! As said in my original post, in light of recent events I had actually taken the photos on the morning of the day my colt was pts and it has taken till this morning to put them online and I was just looking to lighten the mood and enjoy showing those that have got to know her over the past few month's how the not so little one has grown.
 
Hey lovely! If it makes you feel better my pics of Bella broken leg have been deleted too!! As have I been told off!!

Stoopid rule! Bells is never going anywhere so couldnt be advertising and I have no affiliation to any stallion, I only have 1 blooming mare who does babies whos empty now anyway!!!

<rolls eyes>

:)
 
Vikijay - I am afraid your post was probably removed because of me as in my arguement defending my post with the mods I made a list of many other posts whereby there had been updated pics of foals shown saying why have they all been allowed and mine not so they likely went on a purge and yours was one of the unfortunate and I am sorry for that. It is just ridiculous that we are not allowed to share photos of our babies on here....IMO the 2010 foals section is for newborn's....not updated photos...and the picture gallery has soooo many posts that photos of foals would soon be lost on there so I just wish they would see this and see that the posting of updated photos is not harming anyone...especially where the posters do not even own the stallion....in fact I feel it brings joy to people to see these little ones! Based on these rules, next year I would not be allowed to post pics of the foal that is due by my now deceased colt......when this foal will be incredibly special to myself and all who knew/knew of its dad......
 
eventrider23 Im so sorry that someone has seen fit to take such a spiteful attitude to photos on here. Im not a breeder but do enjoy popping in here and seeing all the new arrivals each year. I didnt see your 'offending' post and have only just realised that there was some distressing history connected with it so I hope that whatever the reason and whoever the instigator that they are truly ashamed of their actions.
 
Good god how pedantic!!

If you want send me a couple and I'll post them on here!!

I agree that looking at a foal growing/having updates is where I would want to see them - in the breeding section. We all like to view and compare and discuss this in the breeding section!

Maybe if we all ask admin to change this rule? They would get far more requests than the odd saddo that has little else to do than complain.
 
H and H have long said the forums were originally set up to ask for advice, exchange ideas etc, but there is of course another reason, it's to get at a huge number of people who may even not buy the magazine. Those adverts are reaching a huge number of potential buyers as you can't turn the damn things off can you?
I've watched the forums change over a few years and now has to be the worst time ever, with admin who is making rules willy nilly, giving out warning cards to some but not all, and quite honestly making most users unsure of what they can or can't post.
Many of us no longer visit here on a daily basis anymore but use various other forums who enjoy seeing pics of our horses and especially foals. There is also of course facebook where you can post to your heart's content.
As someone who occasionally advertises in HH and who has bought the magazine for (shhh) over 45 years you would think they would want to not alienate the likes of me, I've bought horses/tack/stables/a horsebox plus many other things all from their advertising. But right now I couldn't care less if I get banned as they are losing the spirit of the forums with such petty rules.
Just what harm is a picture of a foal going to do? If it isn't for sale, if it's by whatever stallion, does it really matter? Are we all considered such numpties that a pic of a nice foal will send us rushing out to use it's sire which might never have been advertised in H and H?
Of course admin wouldn't understand the special circumstances that would mean removing that pic would hurt you at the moment, in the old days they would have emailed you first..
This may well be my last post folks after standing up to be counted, if so, it's been nice knowing you ....
 
How ridiculous, i cant actually believe that someone reported you to admin in the first place - i love seeing pictures of Saffy, shes a little stunner :)

Soon we wont be able to post anything at all for fear of the button pushers and admin..... i for one wont be posting pictures anymore as it seems that you can do no right in here :(
 
Crikey, spend a day in bed with a bug (nothing more interesting I'm afraid!) and it all kicks off.
I would have loved to see new pics of Saffy, such a shame this has happened, I feel for you. We'll just have to remember to use the current year's foals gallery in future, although I've nothing to post in it myself, I still like to look at everyone elses foals and how they're growing.

Pity if the button is hit it can't say who pushed it..........
 
i just dont get why these should have been removed. lovely filly she looks a real cracker:D. the person who complained must have seen this post so why dont they step-up and explain what they complained about. if posts are going to be removed then you should be given a valid reason. not just someone complained.has anyone else managed to post photos since?:confused:

On the first 2 pages of this particular part of forum alone there are at least 3 posts of updated 2010 foals! Yet mine has been singled out and I have been told I am in breach of the conditions and being given points which may restrict my access and further infraction will result in action on my account! How is it that others can post and I can't!!!!!

Strange
 
Totally ridiculous that the thread has been removed. I love seeing how everyone's foals/youngstock are progressing and NEVER go in PG (where is it anyway?!).

Also, and I think this is important, just because someone complained shouldn't automatically mean that the thread is removed. Admin is a human being after all and should be able to make judgement calls. A complaint on a post like yours ER should not be upheld.

Anyhow, if anyone wants to post pics, just go on HBF - you will not be told off there!
 
I have not looked in for a while, and when I do I see this Post, oh dear, what is breeding if it is not about foals, I love to see how people's foals are progressing, Saffy is a stunner. how can they justify pulling a post like this, it is beyond me.

Hello eventrider

I have put pics on of my foal several times since she was born and had no problems I feel really dissappointed for you that you had yours removed it is not fair and what is the point of a breeding forum if we can't show off our stock. I think owers that be need to have a look at the way this forum is being run.
 
Wow....a "breeding" section of a forum where you are not allowed to post pictures of stallions, and now not foals either. Just need to ban the mares for a full set!
The only thing HHO is breeding lately is heavy handedness!
Absolutely ridiculous...
 
Ahh i did chuckle at S-N post i do like a rebel. I do hope this is sorted because with my foal only being a few months and only having just learn't how to post pics i was going to make full use of her growing years to ask questions ect.
