• This is not the place to settle a commercial disagreement or
to be a 'wall of shame'. Any posts deemed to be of this nature
will be removed. Settle your disputes in private please.
• Failure to abide by these rules may result in negative
moderation, removal of your posts from public viewing or
deactivation of your account. We reserve the right to ban
abusers from the site without notice. We reserve the right to
change these rules at any time.
Bass Handle Forum Guidelines and Post Rules:
• Only one account per person is permitted. Violators will be
ban or deactivated without notice.
• Keep all posts on-topic.
• If you are providing an answer to a post, put your answer
within your post and DO NOT redirect members to other sites or
forums for answers.
• Do not post links to other forums or bass fishing sites in
your posts. They will be deleted by staff if determined it is
necessary.
• Do not discuss illegal activities. Our server is hosted in
the USA and so is subject to US law. Please do not expose us to
any unnecessary legal liability.
• Post your comment/question to the most appropriate place.
Any posts deemed to be in the wrong forum will be moved.
• Do not cross-post, double post, or re-post the same question
to multiple places.
• If your thread is falling and you are not getting an answer
do not bump, TTT or To The Top the thread. Make an additional
post with valid information in it. You may not be getting an
answer because you have not provided enough information so be
specific.
• Use your own words. If you wish to use the words of somebody
else, quote them, citing the source. Plagiarism is unethical and
is illegal.
• Choose an appropriate subject line. Try to summarize the
problem briefly in the subject, and elaborate in the message
itself. Repeat the subject in the body if it will make things
clearer. Do not use all caps and do not add false information
just to get attention (e.g. ;read this or you will be
arrested;). An example of a bad subject would be ;HELP ME;. A
good subject might be, ;How do you use a spinnerbait;.
• Include as much information as you can when seeking help.
This may include water temperature, location of lake or river,
time of year and weather conditions. Nobody will be able to help
you if you don't give sufficient detail.
• Thank those who help you. Acknowledgment of a helpful
suggestion not only placates those who helped you, it may also
help others with a similar problem. All those who have been
helped on this forum are invited to help other users by
responding to their questions when they know the answer.

Getting good customer support:
• Remember there’s a human on the other end. Treat them with
dignity and respect. Their sole purpose is to help you so be
kind and thank them in advance for their assistance. The nicer
you are the nicer they’ll be in response — this is simple human
nature.
• Provide useful, descriptive, relevant information. This can
be a tough one since people don’t always know what’s relevant,
but think it through before you send your support request. If
you are having trouble logging in, don’t just say “I can’t
login. Any ideas?” Instead say “Whenever I try to login, the
login screen just reloads without an error message. I know my
username and password is correct. Any ideas? Thanks.” That extra
bit of information will help considerably and will reduce the
number of back-and-forth posts/emails between you and the
support person.
• Don’t write overly detailed, wordy support requests. The
longer your post/email the more of a burden it puts on the
customer support person. They have to read the entire thing
(I’ve seen simple support requests balloon into two printed
pages), sift through to find what’s meaningful, and spend more
time figuring out exactly what’s wrong. Since they’re trying to
help you, you want to reduce their burden. You want to make it
as easy as possible for them to help you. So, be clear, concise,
and brief. More words often confuses instead of clarifies the
issue. Save the wordiness for the thank you email once the
problem has been solved.
Summed up: be polite; be prepared to wait; even if you're in a
bad mood because something doesn't work, don't blame the
software straight away, it can be a million other things;
useful, descriptive and relevant information- nothing to add;
get to the point.
If you do not know what the problems origin is/could be, try to
describe steps to reproduce it, including your setup
(browser/OS/user knowledge level...)
Restrictions & Warnings:
• Removal of posts - If you wonder why your post was removed
from public viewing, study the above rules!

• The posts on this forum are never deleted. Please be sure to
