[QUOTE=JohnnyYanks;1054372449]Who doesn't love a good story? I know I do.

Of course, I do tend to be very selective about the fiction writers I read so I hope your new work will be non-fiction. And I am curious if your San Antonio "sources" will be kept hidden, like the Austin Invisible Three?[/QUOTE]

Huh...

Nah bro, don't freak out. It seems to me that the OP has shown over the years that he is a HUGE narcissistic troll that thrives on posting threads meant to irritate or at least be controversial. He calls in his troll minions to back him and drive up the views and post counts (which he seems to thrive on). It wouldn't surprise me one bit if he instructed his minions to look at his posts as often as they can just to drive up the views and skew the actual views.

So don't freak out just ignore him, he probably wont go away, but we can always hope... Maybe if he is so hell bent on making sure that the unpaid and unappreciated mods are doing there jobs, he should sit down with the owners and offer his services as "head moderator".

I would also suggest that IF he actually does get complaints from members, why doesn't he just take it to the admins, but that has been suggested before and he states that he would rather do it in public or something similar. It seems to me that he is just another post whore looking for attention. More power to him, it works and he gets what he wants, attention, views and posts. Hell even I'm guilty of it now... LOL

Never asked if you caused controversy, turned allegiances of members, counted coup or questioned your understanding of the rules.

Asked if you could tell or send a link of the Standard Operating Procedures of Moderators in ALL AREAS of this site.

Great! Where is it?

I'll keep from doing the bullet post since people can go back to the one i've quoted here.

Not interested in the hearsay people PM you.

And surprised that since you know some of the Powers that be very chumily (sp), you can't get a gold bound copy of the SOP.

As to the, for the better lack of words trying to interpret, self-serving Mods, you can shake out and expose the ugly. But that will leave a new ugly to take its place. I'll keep the evil I know until one that is proven to be more fun can take its place.

Bed time for this Bonzo.

Minions? hahahaha don't think so...... We all dance to a different beat! And every response drives up the count, including this one to your post count raising post. And all the folks who click to see what is said next....... It's the way the site works. Come to think of it, your post is the reason we get all the damn pop ups

Oh and precious, you have no choice in what evil shall reign here!

That decision comes from much further up the food chain than yourself!

Bent is a better way to look at it than broken. Same with the threAds. Realistically this is a marketing site for the ladies. Everything they post has the potential to get them business. It would be very boring here without their involvement.

I am still curious as to why people that don't live in this community have a corn cob up their ass about rule 30. Simply breaking a rule as a cause for this silliness does not make sense since we are all involved in a rule breaking activity.

coolaid · 10-29-2013, 08:02 AM

Are points being given out to the rulebreakers?

Sargent D · 10-29-2013, 08:21 AM

Gee I thought it was a information exchange site, where they provided 2 different forums for ads, guess they need to change the name?
How about PAPC.net (provider ad placement center)?

When are you going to start exchanging some information, Sarge? Blather don't count.

If you are just a stickler for following rules I would be surprised since this hobby is against the rules.

I am by no means a stickler for following rules....

I do believe however that those that step up to moderate have a responsibility to the owners as well as the communities to enforce the guidelines set down fairly .... whether they agree with them or not.

Unfortunately, because they are invisible, they never received much acclaim. (Or maybe the author just hogged it all?)

I agree... I love the ladies involvement. So many have lots of great things to say. But the site has rules. its simple you follow the rules or there are consequences. When a forum doesn't enforce the rules like in other forums then people get pissed. And why wouldn't they? when you see a forum where the preponderance of the coed threads are ADS it gets a little frustrating. It's NOT my job or your job to put a stop to it. It's the MODS JOB! same goes for image violations and rule #30. Lets face it, when you mix guys (MODS) and ladies (PUSSY) at times they are motivated by different things. The site is littered with dead MODS proving this fact.

I am still curious as to why people that don't live in this community have a corn cob up their ass about rule 30. Simply breaking a rule as a cause for this silliness does not make sense since we are all involved in a rule breaking activity.

Once again I agree. I have broken the rules. I have the points and warnings to prove it. I do my very best to follow the rules. Do you really think it's fair to allow providers to come into coed with their big ass sig lines and start meaningless threADS? Is that fair to the other ladies who follow the rules. Feel free to give me links to threads started by ladies here that are hobby related and not ads that are interesting and hobby related. I'll then forward the threADS that are ADS. Me thinks you'll be amazed.

As for rule #30... its pretty simple and straight forward. Shut that bitch down as specified. How can anyone get pissed at a MOD for following the rules? It's the right thing to do.

Still have no idea who or what your talking about. JY your pretty straight forward just say what you have to say.

dearhunter · 10-29-2013, 09:29 AM

SL, the ladies who post threADs are not breaking any rules. ThreADs have been determined (by the top brass) to be "look at me threads", which by extension are drama threads.

When a provider/agency posts a threAD (this one is an example http://www.eccie.net/showthread.php?t=878712 ), the thread is open to any and all views in regards to whatever is stated by the OP in the threAD. It can become the playground for anyone who wants to fuck with the thread. SL touched on the edge of what is possible in post #23.

When GFX posts that shit in Houston, it gets turned sideways very quickly on purpose. Why? Because like the threAD, it is not against the rules.

The problems arise when a moderator decides to intervene on behalf of the OP.
