Whats the Theory of the PM
I can understand trying to keep secrets BUT whats the point of posting in a thread.....sent you a pm for some secret spots....or....pm me if you want to know more. Anyone reading the thread that wants to know will then PM you so whats accomplished?.......might as well have just posted it for all to read.
Dont post anything and just pm that person, so it stays relatively secret

Then why not send that person a pm without posting for the whole membership you have the answer. What do you reply to the people you dont like when they pm you?..........lol

Because members have reputations on here, so for the most part, the offering members know who will not abuse the information. Also, for every active member on this site, there are hundreds (maybe thousands) who can see the published threads. Shows up in google searches etc. But non-members cannot PM... Publishing secrets to the world is a good way to destroy a good spot. Not everyone has the respect for our resources like most members on here do. Helping out a true fellow outdoorsman in a PM is the better way of going about it.

I like the PM feature for buy sell as I get emails that I have a private message and I don't need to log in and check every hour if there was a question.

Personally, I'd think it would make a lot of sense in the "Buy and Sell" section, to allow ONLY PM's, and no thread replies or responses. Too many people ridiculing with posts in public on those threads about price etc. Buy and Sell is no place for public scrutiny. IMO...
I get your point chub, and really it makes no sense other than to blow your own horn when posting "PM sent" or "I'll PM you the bestest mostest wonderfullestest trophy honey hole in the wholest widestest world" Maybe it's to rack up more posts...maybe its to bump the post..who knows...

If they know who will and who wont abuse the info why not just send the info to the people you figure won't abuse it and save the rest of us the rejection
