I have just been advised that SCI record book entries can be made by using member number ONLY. This should allow them to gather some taxonomic information and eliminate the claim that people enter these animals for ego only. Seems like a smart move to me. | ||

And allow folks to enter animals without receiving death threats from the antis. ____________________________ If you died tomorrow, what would you have done today ... 2018 Zimbabwe - Tuskless w/ Nengasha Safaris 2011 Mozambique - Buffalo w/ Mashambanzou Safaris | |||

What I do not understand is why does Facebook and Twitter ban - for life - anyone making death threats? | |||

Yup. I agree. | |||

That's easier said than done because once someone is permanently banned all they have to do is change their IP address & create another account in a slightly different name and they're back on. There is or was a member here who went through a period where his extreme FB posts were getting him banned every few weeks and he simply created another account and carried on his slightly loopy postings. I have a vague idea he eventually got banned from AR as well. | |||

There is no need to change the IP address. | |||

Regarding IP addresses, everybody's IP address changes in theory is only "leased" for about 7 days but when your router renews your ISP address it is often assigned the same one. On average your ISP address changes about every 6 months or so anyway. But there are other ways but not fool proof. For example, every physical device has a MAC address which could be banned. Granted changing devices would circumvent it and all users of that device would be blocked but changing and sharing of devices is less common that people think. Mike Legistine actu quod scripsi? Never under estimate the internet community's ability to reply to your post with their personal rant about their tangentially related, single occurrence issue. What I have learned on AR, since 2001: 1. The proper answer to: Where is the best place in town to get a steak dinner? is…You should go to Mel's Diner and get the fried chicken. 2. Big game animals can tell the difference between .015 of an inch in diameter, 15 grains of bullet weight, and 150 fps. 3. There is a difference in the performance of two identical projectiles launched at the same velocity if they came from different cartridges. 4. While a double rifle is the perfect DGR, every 375HH bolt gun needs to be modified to carry at least 5 down. 5. While a floor plate and detachable box magazine both use a mechanical latch, only the floor plate latch is reliable. Disregard the fact that every modern military rifle uses a detachable box magazine. 6. The Remington 700 is unreliable regardless of the fact it is the basis of the USMC M40 sniper rifle for 40+ years with no changes to the receiver or extractor and is the choice of more military and law enforcement sniper units than any other rifle. 7. PF actions are not suitable for a DGR and it is irrelevant that the M1, M14, M16, & AK47 which were designed for hunting men that can shoot back are all PF actions. 8. 95 deg F in Africa is different than 95 deg F in TX or CA and that is why you must worry about ammunition temperature in Africa (even though most safaris take place in winter) but not in TX or in CA. 9. The size of a ding in a gun's finish doesn't matter, what matters is whether it’s a safe ding or not. 10. 1 in a row is a trend, 2 in a row is statistically significant, and 3 in a row is an irrefutable fact. 11. Never buy a WSM or RCM cartridge for a safari rifle or your go to rifle in the USA because if they lose your ammo you can't find replacement ammo but don't worry 280 Rem, 338-06, 35 Whelen, and all Weatherby cartridges abound in Africa and back country stores. 12. A well hit animal can run 75 yds. in the open and suddenly drop with no initial blood trail, but the one I shot from 200 yds. away that ran 10 yds. and disappeared into a thicket and was not found was lost because the bullet penciled thru. I am 100% certain of this even though I have no physical evidence. 13. A 300 Win Mag is a 500 yard elk cartridge but a 308 Win is not a 300 yard elk cartridge even though the same bullet is travelling at the same velocity at those respective distances. | |||
