Has 1080 by kill struck again

why is it such a big fucking deal to let people discuss 1080 for or against who cares if they are happy to debut it, is there a problem with having its own thread, you moderators can see who the shit stirrers are the ones that chime in just to get a bite out of someone for or against 1080, we can learn from both side and make our own minds up on the matter without the powers that be wielding the almighty delete button, who,s the one acting like a kid. let the forum be what you guys started it out to be. the feeling now is if we dont agree with the moderators its a fuck you your banned attitude.

actually I'm the opposite of a control freak, I don't like moderating stuff and threads like this fill my email inbox up with messages like "REPORTED POST ON NZHS FORUM BY <some whiner>" which I prefer not to deal with so it's easier not to have the thread, cheers.

Why do you want to find someone selling dildos? Questionable.

Dreadful moderators, but of course anyone who actually wants to be one and do stuff, oughtn't be allowed

Also it's fucking pouring and my truck is in the shop and I have to plan a trip to Fiordland tomorrow otherwise I'd be outdoors doing things rather than posting about posting, which is the worst kind of posting

Fair enough @gimp is there a way it could work so it does not overburden the moderator team, yes 1080 is a heavy topic but if you could find a way for thread to work on the matter would be good for the mod team and members. you dont wont to sit there all day ready with the delete button when ever 1080 gets a mention. it will come up in a topic some where, tussock mentioned splitting posts when the subject changes direction. it would be much better to resolve a better way to manage it then telling members to fuck off.

Yeah, fair point about F&H being available for this type of "debate", only problem being that it is not sinking in with those that create these threads.

So, delete the threads, and if they keep appearing, delete the creators... Let the gimp unleash his button frenzy :thumbsup:

Mods are damned if they do, damned if they don't. By banning the culprits you are just going to create martyrs and provide more fuel for the mod-haters on here. On the other hand, do you really want to create a sub-board where the lunatics can rant amongst themselves ?

That language should get you told to pull your head in or banned . Some words should not be written on here.

Of course you weren't dear...

Good cunt is bad now happy? Cheer up cup cake

Out of interest what if any is the forum policy on offensive language/posts etc - a recent example

"Post 13 , line 4 , 4th word in........ there,s your answer, BITCH PIG, never met one that didn't wish she had a dick, the fact that she asked if you had a secure lock up in your vehicle when she knows you are NOT required to have one just goes to show the real attitude (bad day? maybe her husband ran off with her girlfriend ) ... "

It'd be nice if people would self moderate their language and not act like morons because I don't want to have to do it, but that's pretty extremely uncool

Sometimes it seems like there are more argumentative posts about whether or not 1080 threads should be banned than there are about 1080.

Peak oil refers to conventional peak oil, its conventionally extracted oil from a "traditional oil well", think Saudi Arabia, it was 2005~2006. What has happened is US shale oil has produced 4mbpd masking the conventional decline, til now. However the shale drillers are going bankrupt or are stopping drilling due to the price collapse of the over-supply they created. So final peak oil including shale and Canadian tar is looking this year or next. What you will see is a rising price which when it gets to about 6% US GDP causes a recession and hence loss of demand causes the price to collapse. So what you will actually see probably a saw tooth effect and not a sustained high price. Oil has by the looks of it bottomed and is pushing $57 so your tank fill is going back up.

Just the messenger here don't shoot me down. Some hunters in the area should know about this if it's not you move along too the next thread.

This 1080 drop (weather permitting) will take place Saturday 14th February - Makarora is at the head of Lake Wanaka and the drop zone covers both sides of State Highway Six. The dispersal area is next to the Makarora River, within 200m of SH6, and within 500m of the Cameron Flat camping ground.

Looks like trampers on the Young-Wilkin circuit will be getting a green shower too then!


I guess that land beside the main road is far to remote to even consider trapping or bait stations instead of aerial drops.

[QUOTE= I guess that land beside the main road is far to remote to even consider trapping or bait stations instead of aerial drops.[/QUOTE]

Thats my thinking. I get there probably needs to be some ariel drops, but surely areas like this should be trapped, bait stations or shot. Just like the valley or whatever has endangered species in them, trap the surrounding area, ariel drop the rest. Surely this must be a better way than what DOC etc are doing now. After all, isn't the main / whole reason for this is to protect these species?

Dosent make sense to me.

Just get rid of 1080 period and we won't have to have these discussions

Channel 1 now

What a joke that was FFS, airy fairy and bias to Dick Docs

Let them drop all the 1080 they want, kill all the birds, then there is no need for the stuff and the problem will go away.

The problem is not the 1080, its the bloody birds so once they are gone there the whole place will quieten down.

Problem solved

Every time I see 1080 on the news none of the reporters seem to have been briefed very well - or just lack the balls to ask some tough questions or reference some studies, etc. Either that or they can't even get doc to appear unless they submit a list of questions they'll be asking beforehand. Wouldn't surprise me. If that's the case though then they should teach them a lesson and run a piece without them even being there to defend themselves.

If we lose ONE bait at work - ONE - we have to go through a lot of drama and paperwork. If a non-target species eats it through it being lost or the trap not being disposed of properly...then the shit really hits the fan. Did I emphasize one bait enough?

Then there is the New Zealand Department of Conservation nuking half the country with hundreds of thousands of baits in a completely non species-specific way. Blows my mind.

MattyP if you lose a bait I'd bring that up in my defence, obviously the product is totally harmless to anything except targetted species because of the random spread of it from the air! Would be really good to bring up in a personal grievance situ, if someone was dismissed for losing a bait, might be a good way to lose your job, once you are sick of it:thumbsup:

Haha. Alas though, where I work stuff is actually backed up by science and evidence. If we found a dead animal from a bait that was targetting non-indigenous rats, we wouldn't be able to explain it away by some bullshit like snow killing it. Because they would test it, and then know. Crazy logical ideas, right!?

Bet they don't test those birds even if they do find any bodies. Easy enough to do.

They don't WANT to find the bodies, cos until they do it's all 'posibilities' and nothing proven.
