I like this place. I come on for some laughs, some good info and stories and some great pics and vids. I like the camaraderie among genuine mates - and those of us like myself who just share an interest in surfing.
The only thing that spoils it is the occasional person who gets unnecessarily and overly negative, or abusive, or nasty in some sneaky way that is in fact cyber-bullying.
I don't always read the fine print on many agreements, but I read this today:
SEABREEZE MEMBER CONDUCT
You agree to not use the Service to:
... upload, post, email, transmit or otherwise make available any Content that is unlawful, harmful, threatening, abusive, harassing, tortious, defamatory, vulgar, obscene, libelous, invasive of another's privacy, hateful, or racially, ethnically or otherwise objectionable;
... "stalk" or otherwise harass another.
I think admin does a great job overall. On the one occasion I've used the little flag option to report what I saw as abusive behaviour (not against me), they quickly removed the comment in question and the response to it. Good on them. I've reported a second instance just now. See what happens. Perhaps we should all consider that option when we see it happening. Better than feeding the troll.
But i also reckon it's time that admin consider imposing a ban on members who really don't mean their “jokes” in good spirit, but who instead repeatedly use the forum to harass and bully others who are just trying to have a bit of fun and friendship. This behaviour is a clear breach of the agreement we all make. I say warn them once, then boot them off for good.
Anyway, time for a beer and then back to the Breeze for a laugh or two .
All the best, Dave

Your right...& yeah, Its beer o'clock...Cheers Dave

i can see what's happening in this forum relating to the sup page.


it was a fun place with the sport being so new. everyone was amped. so much was happening, new boards, smaller boards, paddles, fins, etc. we couldn't get enough of it.

as it grow things changed. trolls came,some too heated debates, pimping,just the pure numbers and then there were those with bad attitudes who think they are above and smarter than the average bear.

it will never be the same again.


so keeping the feel good is going to takes some work. those that detract need to be made known its not acceptable by all who care.

Just don't mention anything about
leg ropes
i cant believe i said that word

well said LL. I think that we all know who most of the idiots are. So if we just ignore them hopefully they will go away

Yep well said Lacey but Ted I think unfortunately the idiots if they are still being idiots and bullies at this stage of their lives will always be around , they are like the hyenas of the animal kingdom hanging around the kill with that stupid cackle but every now and then a big lion has enough and rips one in half

spot on the coin ..........snarl

i believe the decline in the sup room started when doggie and legion got in there.
