Whether you are a beginner looking for advice, a seasoned angler sharing your experiences, or a conservationist advocating for sustainable fishing, this community thrives on mutual respect and shared passion.
To ensure that every member has a positive experience, we have established the following community guidelines. By participating in our forums, social media channels, and discussions, you agree to uphold these principles.
1. Respect and Kindness
Every member of the Seeker Fishing community deserves to be treated with respect. Differences in experience, knowledge, and opinions are natural, and discussions are encouraged, but all interactions should be polite, constructive, and free from hostility.
- Treat others with courtesy and consideration.
- Avoid insulting, harassing, or belittling other members.
- Debate and disagreements should be handled maturely and respectfully.
- Hate speech, discrimination, or any form of bullying will not be tolerated.
Remember: A strong community is built on mutual respect and a shared love for the sport.
2. Keep Content Relevant and Constructive
Seeker Fishing is a community centered around fishing, conservation, and outdoor experiences. Contributions should be relevant to these topics and contribute positively to discussions.
- When sharing fishing reports, tips, or experiences, provide accurate and helpful information.
- Avoid posting off-topic discussions that do not contribute to the fishing community.
- If providing criticism on gear reviews or fishing techniques, keep feedback constructive and informative.
Content that disrupts discussions, misleads members, or promotes misinformation will be removed.
3. Responsible Sharing of Fishing Content
We encourage members to share their fishing experiences, but responsible content sharing is crucial.
- Catch-and-release photos should demonstrate proper fish handling techniques to ensure the well-being of the fish.
- Do not share content that depicts harmful or unethical fishing practices.
- If posting location details, respect local fishing regulations and private property rights.
- Avoid revealing sensitive fishing spots without permission to preserve fish populations and prevent overfishing.
By sharing responsibly, we help promote sustainable fishing and respect for aquatic ecosystems.
4. No Spam, Self-Promotion, or Unsolicited Advertising
Seeker Fishing is a space for genuine discussions and knowledge-sharing. To maintain this, we do not allow:
- Unsolicited advertising of products, services, or businesses without prior approval.
- Spam or excessive self-promotion, including repeated links to personal blogs, YouTube channels, or commercial pages.
- Affiliate links or posts created solely for marketing purposes.
We welcome collaborations, but if you have a fishing-related product or service you believe would benefit the community, please contact us for potential partnerships.
5. Follow Fishing Laws and Ethical Practices
Fishing is not just about sport and recreation—it comes with a responsibility to protect our waters, fish populations, and future generations of anglers. We expect all community members to:
- Follow local, state, and international fishing regulations.
- Respect catch limits, size restrictions, and seasonal fishing laws.
- Promote ethical angling practices, including proper catch-and-release techniques.
- Refrain from encouraging illegal or unsustainable fishing methods.
Any content promoting poaching, overfishing, or violations of fishing laws will be removed, and offending accounts may be suspended.
6. Safety First: Responsible Outdoor Conduct
Fishing often takes us to remote locations, deep waters, or unpredictable environments. Safety should always be a priority.
- When discussing fishing trips and techniques, encourage the use of proper safety gear such as life vests, sun protection, and appropriate tackle.
- Avoid promoting dangerous or reckless behavior, such as fishing in unsafe conditions or ignoring boating safety guidelines.
- Respect wildlife and the environment by leaving no trace and disposing of fishing waste properly.
A responsible angler is a safe angler.
