I may be missing something here mate, But in all the time I have been reading this forum the only breaks I have seen discussed here are those that the local economy thrives off tourism. This is not the case here and is not the same thing.
Quick there is a sick bank right out the front of Manning St - Everyone GO GO GO 
It goes to the overall conversation though, the guy simply asked for some help on some beaches/spots. He said he was happy to keep them quiet or private message. He wasn't asking for anything super secret. If people don't want to share thats fine, don't but i don't think the negative posts were needed, thats all. Especially when people who got upset then share location all be them general of other places overseas. You can say its different all you like, but its not. Im sure local small business in region WA would love the extra traffic.
The forums are dead enough as it is..Simply ignoring his post would have been sufficient, or a polite reply maybe.
Don't be silly, you can't mention Trigg or Scarbs or the hordes will come, run for the hills!!!
JB makes a good point. If you simply attach the poster you send a message of we dont want you here your stupid. That kills the forum. Its actually a good post and has raised a few points and got us all talking. I dont think anyone is going to let up to much info on the open forum.
Just for the record no banks at Scarbs but I hear Trigg carparks is good
when the onshore gets up head east over to the GC we have a secret spot there called snapper, since its onshore at Lancelin i figure it will be offshore over here
Those thinking it's ok to tell the guy in a pm, do you know him? Maybe he's the owner of Surfing Perth or Perth Surf. Or maybe he's got 20 other backpackers he shares a dorm room with. Send him a message and who knows what you're doing. Some on here are super discreet and I feel comfortable sharing intel with them but not some random I've never met in person. As others have said let him do his own work.

If I remember correctly the guy that runs Perth surf lives down south..
Send him a pm or don't, still no need to be a dick on a forum that's badly needing new people to join..

You scared everyone away with your shark threads
Don't blame people who do not like surfing in crowds

Telling them like it is, is your specialty Legion. I love it. Filled up your Green.
Had a weekender in Lanno for 15 years and the locals still call us" Wooducks". 15 years coming here before that.
Figure it out fot yourself. Rewards are worth it. Best Surfs here is because you were there at the time. It is fickle.
Being here at the right time, is 30 years of being here. Enjoy your reply in 2047 Pauly, when you have done the hard yards.
As Twimby says if you spend the time there you reap the rewards... A great day at a secret Lancelin spot back in 2016.

Haha yeah I know that spot...........but you are a prick letting out the bag 
Don't forget to stick it on Perth surf
Spent years as a grom in Esperance hearing whispers of magical breaks with no names. Had to do a lot more time in the water and get respect before finally being able to join those in the know. Its how the apprenticeship goes. People guard secret spots well for good reasons, selfish, but can you blame the few who get to chose the waves without the added pressures of kooks dropins and hustlers.
