joining before viewing
Message:
Folks have shown concern about people posting their so called "secret spots"
and having people finding them through google and whatnot.
Make people register before being able to view, maybe this will get rid of the lurkers, or get them to join, more people posting the more we can learn from one another.

Even if you do something like that people will join and just lurk. You could possibly make the reports members only and you would have to have a certain number of posts to view them but it could also turn people away. Not sure there is a right answer to this except post what you want and don't post what you don't want.

Well, you know how I voted. I don't post about "secret spots" anyway...not much good can happen by broadcasting secrets to countless strangers. My concern is that this site consists of roughly 80% lurkers...people who have no intention of helping others on the site. Forcing registration doesn't mean they'll suddenly start posting, but it will stop our info from being indexed in search engines. I think that's a good thing. Once you cross paths with a shady angler, you'll be a lot more careful who you share info with.
