I have often said there should be a 2 or 3 hour delay between posting a sighting, and it appearing on the app / website or whatever platform people are viewing it on.graham wrote: ↑Tue Jan 07, 2020 6:17 pm Latest Sightings could easily delay publishing reports (or at the minimum location) until after gate closing. This would remove the problem and would have no impact on the majority of users (according to Ossendryver) who are overseas or who do not use the app for sightings.
Yes, it is a complex problem with no easy solution but a start needs to be made somewhere.
One thing is what he says another what he thinks 
That is exactly why more pressure needs to be put on him. He gets far too much "celebrity" attention.
It is simply stupid to make regulations which are difficult to enforce because it creates a "don't care" attitude for visitors and a "that's not important" attitude for staff.

There are lots of people that travel through the Park, say from Phalaborwa to Nelspruit and use different gates to enter and exit. Why should they be fined for this, absolutely ridiculous.
Making taxis overnight is difficult because it involves hospitality and enforcement.
The purpose of the overnight idea was to limit people using the park as a short cut. But, once a person has paid for their booked accommodation, you can't force them to sleep in it.
Speed / distance fines are easy to enforce at the gate.
Trying to stop the use of 2 way radios is like trying to stop the use of cellphones on our roads. Totally outlawing them in the park (have them declared and sealed like firearms) is far better. There is no reason why day entering OSVs need to be equipped with radios.
) and allowing for stops, sightings and the odd dirt road? They must be tired and then they still have to drive from the park.
Ossendryver himself races to sightings per using his App ..Ban the App period /Block it or whatever , ban Moz Taxis ..they must use Komatipoort or Umtali in Zim ...Dzombo wrote: ↑Wed Jan 08, 2020 9:52 amI have often said there should be a 2 or 3 hour delay between posting a sighting, and it appearing on the app / website or whatever platform people are viewing it on.graham wrote: ↑Tue Jan 07, 2020 6:17 pm Latest Sightings could easily delay publishing reports (or at the minimum location) until after gate closing.

And this would be up to Ossendryver to implement....... he claims to be aware of the problem, so do something about it then
All very well but how do you ban/block the App? You can ban Ossendryver and you can ban the car decals, but an app?Peter Betts wrote: ↑Wed Jan 08, 2020 3:32 pm Ossendryver himself races to sightings per using his App ..Ban the App period /Block it or whatever , ban Moz Taxis ..they must use Komatipoort or Umtali in Zim ..
