Seems a very much closed shop attitude and doesn't make for a very free interchange of information about wildlife by people who are interested and knowledgeable in the subject!
A friend recommended this site to me, and having a lifetime of interest in wildlife and much experience as well as writing professionally about the subject for 2 newspapers - Tenerife News and Tenerife Sun - I came here thinking this sounded a great forum to be involved with, but if I am unable to point people to sites and images that answer the questions more fully then I am very disappointed with how this place is set up!
Perhaps someone will address my concerns and please explain why it is like this? |
Hello Bardofely,
Welcome to WAB.
I think you'll find that in no way WAB could be considered as having a 'closed shop attitude'.
As has been explained, the links via WABS own gallery helps to actually protect the site from anything really nasty. The moderators work jolly hard to keep this charitable site in fine fettle and family friendly.
Links that are relevant are allowed so I don't see there is any problem.
As you are new member, may I suggest a cruise around the threads and have a look at the ones with links and shots so you can see how it all pieces together nicely and safely.
I hope you enjoy your time here and use your vast experience and knowledge in posts.
All the best
Jules
