Hi Jackson,

What's happened to the counter on the picture pages? All are now registering zero counts on my browser.

Jackson,

I'm just asking this out of curiosity. Whenever I have submitted a post that contains the letters m-u-n in that sequence, those three letters seem to be deleted and replaced by asterisks, e.g., com***ication, or the Portuguese word 'co***s.' Any particular reason why?

Jackson,

A concern about credit card charging for subscription.

I have been "away" from ISG for some time now and have "returned" recently. Still the same mix of valuable information and entertainment that has proven very worthwhile in the past.

I have also seen in my mail box two polite suggestions from yourself to consider subscribing to the forum. I would be remiss not to do so.

I also recognise the enormous effort and not inconsiderable cost that you go to, to provide ISG/WSG and so was happy to subscribe twice, 2 x 1 year - once for my use of the forum, and another for the monger that neglected to pay. I am sure that there is at least one of those somewhere, consider it an added donation to keep the electrons moving.

Going to the credit card form - I was concerned that very full personal details, addresses etc are required to be filled in, and this makes me very uncomfortable.

I realise that by entering the usual charging details - credit card number - name on card and expiry date - records are kept and billed by the credit card company.

However, requiring all the details requested to be entered in the on-line form does give me pause.

Is it possible to limit the details to those generally required for a charge as above? I would like to forward my contribution to the cause and ask.

Keep up the good and important work from which we all benefit.

Excess

Hi Excess,

Actually, the most important piece of data is your username, which IS NOT transmitted to the credit card processor but is instead kept in my shopping cart's database WHICH I ROUTINELY DELETE.

In other words, the link between your credit card charge and your username is only in my possession, and is deleted weekly because once I process your subscription, I don't need any of the data.

Thanks,

Jackson

Hi Jackson,

Thanks for that - while still not comfortable it is too important work to let go without a contribution.

You will find Excess' subscription in your today's card processing.

I tried to add a second subscription as I mentioned earlier but was foiled by the credit card system that threw up a "cannot process duplicate order" response.

I then went for the 6 month subscription for the second one to see if that was accepted as being a different "product" - this time it went through as OK - allowed. You will see the second payment today as well.

So, that means Excess is done, but the "only" member who forgot to pay his sub. this year will have only 6 months paid for instead of the year.

I am sure that he, whoever he is, will get onto it by then.

Thanks for the tremendous effort and personal cost over the years to host this site, Jackson.

Hello Jackson,

It is nearly impossible to trace in a group of this size. You should find a way to jump to pictures from certain from groups or to a certain age or whatever.

It is otherwise not to handle.

I would appreciate that.

Your recent change on Sosua (DR) has confused me though - at least spell the name SOSUA correctly. You seem to be a purist on spelling and punctuation, but this one somehow slipped by.

Dear Editor,

Can something be added to the "please don't use chatroom style" text that appears with each reply, to the effect "please only quote appropropriately". Some forums seem to have more quote content than actual text. IMO it's a waste of space, not to mention time when using slow-ass net cafes, when people quote a 10 paragraph report only to add a sentence or two, sometimes nothing more than a "yeah I agree" response. The Shanghai China thread is a good example of this.

Lorenzo
03-08-06, 14:50
Frankle,

I agree with you that the length of many quotes is excessive. I think the reason this happens is because this forum won't let you highlight just a portion of a post and quote only the part you want as a quote. I have attempted to highlight one or two sentences of a post in order to quote it, and have ended up with the entire post quoted. It is then necessary to edit the quote and erase all but the part you want to quote before you submit the post, and apparently some posters are just too lazy to do this. It would be a great help if we could have quoted only that portion that we highlight.

Lorenzo

Frankle
03-09-06, 03:13
i think the easiest method, after clicking "reply with quote", would be to place the mouse cursor at the start of the quoted text that's not relevant, then while holding the shift key use the down and right arrow keys to highlight it, then press backspace. i'm certain some windows users aren't aware of this method for speed-deleting of text (including me up to a while back!) and erronously think they need to hold the delete key and do it character-by-character.

Hi Jackson,

I have been requesting that some pictures that I have posted on the Cali, Colombia board be removed. I have sent you e-mails, "reported bad post" to moderator as requested many times, and the photos are still there.

The pictures are of my guide/friend in Cali. He said that his "life" is in danger because of these photos are online. Is there anyway that you help me out? I did not want to cause this guy any problems with my posting (I was only trying to help him get more business).

I am sorry for causing you more work also.

Please help me out and delete that post. You have e-mails to let you know which as well as the "report bad post" to guide you to the right photos.

Maybe people have started using it differently, but I think the abbreviations section has its definition of "sandbagging" backwards. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sandbagging_(drag_racing)

You might also add the term RCA - Reverse Cowgirl Anal, though I suppose this is more for porn movies (looks good on screen) than real life.

Hi E Z Rhino,

The defination of "sandbagging" that is described in the wikipedia site specifically applies to drag racing.

I added RCA to the abbreviations list.

Could we add a social calender thread to the Malaysian board to announce members activities and thus allow the report thread to be mainly reports on chicas. Those interested in the events could track them that way.

FWIW I still think sandbagging means "deliberately under-rating" rather than "deliberately over-rating".

Anyway, great list, got two more for ya.

Katoey: Thai for trans-sexual, often posing as a female prostitute, known for being pickpockets. Adam's apple and large hands often give them away.

Re: Shitting where you eat

Oh how I remember being able to lay Ticas for a "hot dog and a coke" not even 15 years ago.

Oh how I remember being able to lay Phillipinas for a "hot dog and a coke" not even 10 years ago.

Oh how I remember being able to lay a ( fill in your local babe ) for a "hot dog and a coke" not even 5 years ago.

Those of us who live in pussy paradises should understand that discussing or posting the (semi) secret information of our pussy paradises is totally counterproductive to the continued enjoyment of our paradises.

All you need to do is look at Buenos Aires, Rio, Costa Rica, Angeles City, Bangkok, Phnom Penh and numerous other spots which foolish, repressed and sex-starved gringos basically "ruined."

Do you want the same fate to befall your secret pussy paradise?

Do you still want to keep bragging about your private pussy paradise?

What is the upside potential to doing so?

What is the downside potential to doing so?

Stop shitting where you eat.

The gringo tourists will always escape their sex prison for a week or two and hit local commercial spots, but we dont need to help them ruin our mostly secret, private, unknown and out-of-the-way paradises, do we?

I think its time to take ISG to next level. I couldn't find a thread to post my ideas, its exactly not site improvement or survey but rather taking ISG to next level.

We haven't thought of it, but the potential is unlimited in the idea im going to propose for the benefit of ISG and to its members.

The idea is ""'ISG HOtsPots"""

yeahh...I think the time has come to take ISG to every major mongering destinations across the world. The business potential is huge.

ISG HOtsPots could be the one stop destination for every mongers dreams.

From Visa and documents processing to ISG hotel and apartments across the major mongering destinations around the world. Single window system for every ISG mongers needs.

I think I need not go any further explaining as it would be clear to any monger how he faces difficulty in getting right things at the places he chooses to go...ISG has being doing good as far as the information is concerned.....lets take that same trust to the next level of offering services to mongers.

**ISG HOtsPots** would truly be an one STOP destinations for our requirements. Like we would have an on the ground trusted and verified "ISG GUIDE" who would show us around the places, mongers only exclusive apartments , In-house ATM, currency exchange centre, internet, food and transportation ..anything and everything that a monger ever dreamt of...all being taken care by **ISG HOtsPots**

No more the struggle and frustration ..yeahh..as smooth as it gets....I think rest you can make it up as its an inherent necessity of every genuine monger an hassle free experience. and ISG HOtsPots would truly fulfill it....No more waiting in the queue, no more reservations, no security issues....no more laying on one's faith and destiny while mongering and say goodbye to anything that's called luck...with ISG HOtsPots everything will be pre-set and pre-planned as per your needs and requirements.


Now, as far as implementation is concerned and the economic sense of it all.

Hmmm..lets see...right now ISG has 151,864 registered members and alexa ranks ISG at 14,164 a leap of over 25 percent from last three months and with a page view of more than a million.

Consider if 20 percent of the registered members are on the move to every other country for mongering..thats around 30,000 members.

Now lets take for example top five destinations for mongering, Moscow, Shanghai, Bangkok, Rio, FKK Frankfurt.

Lets assume that it takes a million dollar to built or lease 50 room ISG HOtsPots which has around 20 staff to look after visa, travel, house keeping, food, guide etc requirements.

Lets also assume a monger spends a service fee 50 USD on visa processing, currency exchange, travel ticket, internet surfing etc (price keeps varying depending upon the country but lets not take that into account right now), 50 USD on transportation, 50 USD per day on apartments ( lets say he stays for a week), 20 USD per day on food plus miscellaneous another 20 USD.

Now, 50+50+50+20+20=190 USD ~lets take another 20 percent off ... that would be 150 USD for one day stay ..now for one month 50 rent + 20 food + 10 transportation + 10 miscellaneous * 50 rooms = 4500 per day*30 = 135000 USD/ month *12 = 1.6 million/year minus overhead cost and salaries lets take 50 percent off 1.6 million === 80,0000 USD.

I have being overly generous in assuming negative figures and make it look like a bargain..offcourse the profit in USD will be much much more as the employees will be paid locally ..much like first world service in a third world country.

Even if ISG HOtsPots starts in one city with highest ISG member activity lets say Bangkok which has may be 10,000 active members ...I cannot begin to imagine the potential of such a venture...I do not see any reason whatsoever why an ISG member would go any other place for his requirements once HOtsPots starts functioning ....Hmmm 500 room monger palace for ISG members in Bangkok....folks we are talking about giving competition to Hilton et'all in a months period.

Jackson would be our chairman, and the rest of the management would be seniors members who have gained the trust of fellow members over the years, truly democratic process to get top forum members for the different management positions.

Now the question how to get that 1 million dollar to get things started for the first destination. Well.. To get the initial investment, im proposing an ""ISG HOtsPots"" Fund...of just 100 USD per member or higher which would easily cross 1 million USD with 10,000 members which is just 6 percent of total members strength.

The investors would get yearly dividend Plus discounts on apartment stay plus a tag of founding members ...folks...with china forum booming and taking over Thailand forum ...I believe in couple of years from the day "ISG HOtsPots" starts, all the founding members would get to a level of free mongering around the world staying at ISG HOtsPots and getting income from the dividends.

With Asian economy booming ,china and India half of the world population doing round the world trips....demand will far outstretch supply by miles.

I see right now no negative to the business model for ISG HOtsPots....if we all collectively believe with a 100 USD in our pockets :)....we could all very well achieve...a mongering experience which will cherish generations to come ..yeahh..thats a bit heavy word...:)...just to get the end effects in order :)

I look forward to your comments ...
Loser.

Dear Jackson,

Respectfully, your editors, monitors and you are being derelict, stomach-cancer-slow and ruinous when finally posting so called “regular” members’ reports and comments, mano.

Your editing, monitoring, NSA-orientated parsing machine is akin to a Belarusian media Gestapo. By the time you bestow your royal grace’s blessing on a regular member’s report and post it, this report’s mongering country would’ve been swallowed by an Al Gore’s global warming tide.

Ya ya ya, ISG is yours and yours only and the rest of us are mere mortals, and if we don’t like it we can … off, I hear ya. Nevertheless, how about a little humility mano, a little ‘I’ll see what I can do to render reporting timely.’

On a different note, and respectfully again, You’ve to instate some kinda statute of limitation for members on your black list, mean what you instate and adhere to it. To demote them and have’ em remain regulars till the end of time is cruel and unusual punishment Jackson mano.

Introduce some form of incentive, a carrot and a stick if you will. Award them seniority for the photos and constructive reports they have posted if they reform and adhere to comity for a certain period of time.

Last year, I personally was upgraded to senior member after I met all your promulgated requirements and been a good poster for quite sometime. But outa the blue, I was relegated/demoted to regular member without having the chance to post one report as a senior member.

We’re all god’s children darn it, we all possess the ability to become model mongering reporters once off your wrath list.

It’s your disdain for imperfect posters/reporters that’s creating recidivism.

Do annunciate, at what point are you willing to NOT overrule your editors (if they exist) and relegate reformed senior members to regular status? If never ever, and ain’t no chance in hell, then proclaim though in a clear, meaningful and locatable fashion.

Who can never ever be upgraded to senior status and post timely reports in your book, who? Once regular, then senior, then regular again members like El Suave?

Thanks

Hi El Suave,

I appreciate your opinions.

You have the title of Senior Member in recognition of your active participation in the Forum. However, I have elected to continue to moderate your reports because of your proclivity for instigating arguments with other forum members. However, I'll make you an offer: If you think my assessment of your forum personality is inaccurate, I'll put the issue up as a poll for everyone to vote, and we'll see if the other forum members agree with me or with you.

JacksonDear Jackson,

I certainly appreciate your graciousness and promptness when responding to members’ concerns. Moreover, I appreciate your offer.

However, and unfortunately, I must adopt a defeatist stance when presented with such an un-winnable battle. Because when Jackson says “we’ll see if the other members agree with me or with you”, this in itself clinches it for ya. I’ve no chance. And when I lose, you and all the members who dreamed of disemboweling me will gloat and savor my public demise.

I hope I’m wrong, but I won’t lie and say I don’t sense a conspiratorial undertone to your offer Jackson, maybe a desire to inflict a form of public humiliation mano. Again, I hope I’m wrong.

Fact: you never allowed me a single, non moderated post as a senior member, even at the time when my so called “proclivity” to instigate was so dormant and in oblivion.

Fact: you never gave me one chance to demonstrate that El Suave is very cognizant of the fact that with seniority comes responsibility, a duty to earn public trust, a cool head, and incentives to post super reports. I had no idea I’m still a must-moderate senior, I thought I was relegated to plain ole regular.

Jackson’s utter refusal to ever recognize, or believe that El Suave is capable of self-reformation is what put back my so called “proclivity” into remission.

How about a less egregious counteroffer? It’ll have the same public humiliation effect you seek to inflict upon me if I fail. You’ll be able to say ‘see? El Suave is a lost cause, I was right about his fiber, Jackson’s evaluations are eternal.’

It’s all being aired here anyways, you’re already on record that you awarded me senior status, but choose to moderate El Suave’s posts because or misapprehensions (duly noted mind you). Test me. Desist from moderating my reports and notate my senior status which you thus far conceded to. Undertake all the latter with merciless latitude. If El Suave sways and disappoints, you’ll gloat anyhow.

However, if El Suave is reformed and is contributing lascivious pussy reports to ISG’s members, all the greater accomplishment. Jackson would’ve buttressed his compassionate and noble traits, and disabused the masses of his rigidity and lack of a will to recognize contrition. Either way, Jackson wins.

To go for your poll in your domain means you’ll be moderating my posts till death do us part Admin. Even saints lose referendums.

Thanks.

Hi Jackson,

Love the site. I've been perusing it for a couple months, I think, preparing for some extratouristic endeavors when I start traveling someday (hopefully soon). Trouble is that I, and I suspect a number of other members, do our reading of this site from places where other household members might not approve of this sort of reading material.

So, if somebody who don't want knowing you read this site walks into the room, the window pretty much has to be closed entirely in order to hide the fact that one is perusing this forum. Minimizing doesn't necessarily work, as there will still be a button on the taskbar reading "InternationalSexGuide..." To get around this, I simply keep two windows of Mozilla Firefox (which allows "tabbed browsing") active, and when somebody walks in, I switch tabs in the ISG window (so the title bar changes), and then switch to the other window (so nobody can see the tab). Anyone who tab-browses with Firefox should be able to make sense of that jumble of words =].

I think, however, that you can help create an easier way. Instead of having the title of the window be "InternationalSexGuide...", just replace that with "ISG..." This would allow the window to be easily hidden with a quick minimize or tab-switch, and anyone seeing "ISG..." on a label will be none the wiser.

Of course, somebody could just demand to see the window to know what "ISG" means, but somebody intrusive enough to push that hard to know a harmless acronym shouldn't really be welcome in anyone's life in the first place.

Food for thought,

Giggity

==============================================

Hi Giggity,

I did create a way to hide the Forum's title: Just buy a subscription and then select "Stealth Mode" when viewing the forum.

Thanks,

Jackson

Giggity
07-03-06, 08:19
Thanks for the tip, but I have been a paying subscriber since only a couple of days after discovering the site! Here's a clarification of what I'm talking about, since the title of the forum appears in several places on one computer when the site is open... not just at the top of the page.

For the kids at home just joining us, "01_StandardView.jpg" shows Mozilla Firefox with the International Sex Guide as the active tab. Pointed out is the large title bar that is removed when paid subscribers select "Stealth Mode".

In "02_StealthMode.jpg", you can see that the formal title in the web page is gone after entering stealth mode, but the application's title bar still reads "InternationalSexGuide - " followed by the name of the thread or subforum currently shown. The same is displayed in the tab bar (Firefox and other tabbed browsers only).

So, here's the rub. Stealth Mode makes the title marquee within the web page disappear, but leaves the two aforementioned labels intact. Thus, if someone walks into the room, and I switch tabs so as to hide where I'm reading. But "03_SwitchTabs.jpg" shows that the name of the forum is still visible in the tab bar. Not good if a significant other is looking over one's shoulder!

The other way to quickly hide the window when somebody enters the room is to minimize the window entirely. As you can see in "04_MinimizeWindow.jpg", this leaves the name of the forum visible in the taskbar. One can almost avoid this problem by using the "Autohide the taskbar" function in Windows, but if you have to open up another program while someone is watching, the name of the forum comes back into view.

The only two ways to totally avoid the name of the forum being visible when an eavesdropper glances at the screen is to:

1. Switch tabs, and then minimize. But tabbed browsing is not available in Internet Explorer yet, as far as I know. I heard it will be implemented in the next version, however.

2. Close out of the ISG entirely, and when the coast is clear, renavigate to the forum page you were reading before having to close the window.

This isn't really the biggest deal, I know. But I just thought that changing the displayed title to "ISG" or something not-directly-related-to-sex would keep our fellow members in the clear without having to "lose their spot" when someone enters the room who isn't meant to see it.

Like I said earlier, the eavesdropper could demand to see what was in the "ISG..." window, but that's totally out of your control. I hope this clears up any confusion you had.

Just a thought, do with it what you will. This will be the last you hear of it from me.

Regards,

Giggity

P.S. Sorry if these files are a little large. They're the smallest that I could get them, even after converting to grayscale and using maximum JPG compression!

Hi Giggity,

First, let me say that I appreciate your financial support.

I understand your request clearly, but I'm not removing the name of the website from the site's meta tags because that would have disastrous consequences for my search engine rankings.

Gentlemen,

We all know that there is at least one 'member' on the forum who has simply forgotten to pay his subscription to keep this wonderful site running and Jackson just a little less out of pocket in doing so.

Last year, I was pleased to pay for a subscription for this unknown soldier as well as one for myself. I see in the control panel that the subscription for the forgetful member is coming up in August for renewal.

May I suggest that if there is anyone who would like to pick up the subscription for the next term (there was a bug on the credit card processing engine that wouldn't allow me to do 2 x 1 year subs at the same time - so it was a 6 month membership) that they are welcome to do so? If so, please post a quick note to let me know that this has been taken care of.

If not, and I fully appreciate how busy we all are, I will be happy to continue paying for our forgetful member in the expectation that he will remember eventually and do so. I and we are amply rewarded with the information so freely shared on this forum.

Thanks

hi,

being a novice to computers, it`s bad enough trying to teach myself the functionings.

however, i feel this problem: copy and paste, the 30 minute issue, is a problem.

this is robbing the forum of some quality posts, mine zipped out into ciberspace a few weeks back. very fustrating. got to put in rapid fire reports now.

fuck, how to copy and paste?

i`m sure this is an ongoing issue. one that drives us all nuts.

just my thoughts.

cheers

speed13

===============================================

hi speed13,

first, to copy:

1. click anywhere in your report.
2. click "control-a" to highlight all of your text.
3. click "control-c" to copy the text into the clipboard.

to paste:

1. click anywhere into a blank report window.
2. click "control v" to paste your text back into the report window.

if this doesn't make sense to you, i would suggest that you call a friend who understands computers and ask him/her to show you. it takes about 2 minutes to learn how to do this.

second, i understand your comments about having a long report get lost in the flow of the thread, which is why i would suggest that in addition to your long report that you also post a short summary and a link to your long report in the reports of distinction section where it can be referred to by others.

btw, you always have the option to compose your reports in another program (i.e. wordpad, notepad, ms word) or even in your email program (gmail is great because it automatically saves your text every few minutes as an autodraft and it has a built-in spellchecker). after you've finished composing your report, you can then copy and paste it into the forum.

thanks,

jackson

My feeling is that they should be reports provide outstanding information or a very clear summary of all the information that a newby might need in a particular situation.

I have seen a few reports recently recommended by the editor that really did not provide much information. There were several very long winded posts by Surfer in the Hanoi thread and a recent one by Lukaa in the Hangxhou thread.

I just think that the criteria for reports of distinction should be quite selective in order to maximise the usefullness of this special thread.

Hi Jackson:

Is there any way to divert a comment from the Photo Section which doesn't have an attachment to General Info?

This would save you from reminding the respondents that they are in the wrong place, as you are doing now.

I post photos whenever I can, but the board is full of voyeurs who do nothing else but comment (and flame). That's okay, but why should it be in the photo section?

Can't this be pure info?

SS

=================================================

Hi Silver Shadow,

I'd like to be able to do that, but the admin screen that the forum software provides for selecting and moving reports from one thread to another thread does not indicate if the report has a photo or not, so I don't know which are the non-photo reports that need to be selected.

Moving them individually is also a pain because because you can't just move one report, you have to first split the one report out of the source thread into a new temporary thread, and then as a seperate function merge that new temporary thread into the target thread where you want the report to be.

Believe me, if there was an easy way to do this I'd have been doing it all along.

Thanks,

Jackson

I think photos are an essential part of the ISG, especially in that it can give mongers an idea of what to expect at certain destinations in terms of local girls appearances, appeal, value/worth for money. But sadly it seems that too many photos are devoted to close-up shots of body orifices which sort of defeats the purpose of this forum. If I wanted close-ups of body orifices, I could go to any of the 6 zillion porn sites at the click of a button. I'm sure I would get bored pretty quick because after all a hole is a hole is a hole.

Please, lets make the photo galleries more useful (and informative) by giving us an actual glimpse of the honeys at the locales visited by the mongers rather than anuses at 100 times magnification.

Well, it's nice to know I'm not the only poster who feels this way. IMHO, posting photos are useless unless you can see the entire girl! Showing just a closeup of an asshole doesn't help at all and adds no value to the forum; that asshole could be from anyone. And covering up the faces of the girls doesn't help either. This is a site about sharing info. We should be helping each other out by posting the full photo of the girl, and willing to give her contact info if another member requests it. The free flow of information between members is what makes this such a great sport-fucking site. If you must cover up a face in your pics, cover your own, but not the girl's!

Besides, if the girl you're posting a picture of is so special to you, perhaps you shouldn't be posting her pic on this kind of site in the first place...

I agree with the above regarding XXX photos. On a site dedicated to "the exchange of information between men on the topic of sex with women", these types of photos serve no other purpose than inflating the photographer's/monger's ego and/or show off their latest "trophies". No informational value whatsoever for anyone else. In addition, they also seem to attract a fair number of

- "fantasy" (rather than real-life) mongers living vicariously and visually through the experience of others,
- "amateur photo fetishists", and
- general wankers using ISG like any other porn site out there.

Needless to say, neither group does anything but comment on these photos while adding no mongering information at all (because they haven't got any!).

IMHO, other than general travel-related photos as permitted by the ISG Photo Guidelines, there should only be two types of photos of women:

1) Photos of P4P providers, to give other mongers an idea of what is available out there, including pertinent info (where, when, how much, plus contact info),
2) Photos of non-pros, to give other mongers an idea of what women look like in general in a specific country or location.

I do think, however, that even with the face or the eyes of a model covered, a photo can have informational value, certainly much more so than mere penetration and cum shots. Whether to cover a girl's face or not, I would ultimately leave up to the individual photographer, though I do agree with Ezinho that photographers that are concerned about privacy issues should seriously consider not posting such pictures in the first place.

They say "a picture is worth a thousand words". To be honest, I was perfectly happy in the good old days of WSG, when there were no photos at all.

I have recently reviewed several thread and found their topics to be quite lacking, I humbly suggest to Jackson or other moderators on the site to institute a new system to encourage member to either put usefull reports or aks pertinent questions to other members and behave better towards each other.
My guideline would go based on a score system.

Posting Off Topic Message 1

Posting in inappropriate forum 1

Not complying with said mission statemtn "the exchange
of information between men on the topic of sex with
women" 2

Discourtesy towards another member You don't have to
agree with other members but you must always respect
their right to express their opinions 3

Unnecessary ruddeness 3

Inappropriate Advertising 4

Private Messaging Abuse 4

Excessive flames 5

Antagonism Towards Staff 5

Name calling, general derogatory statements or personal
attacks against any member or family, friends, religion or
country of member. 5

Starting a rumor or making an accusation against a 5
member

Multiple Posting (Flooding) 6

Spamming 7

Racist / Prejudicial Remarks 10

Actual or implied threats to another member 10

Displaying or writing about Homosexual behaviour Tv etc 10


Ounce you reach warning level 11, you will be banned permanently or shot down to regular member or an quivelant measure. There will also be an option in the configuration menu warning a member of his penalty points that way the member know that he is fucking up or about to fuck up big time, that way Jackson or other modertors can identify problems more quickly and nip them in the bud it would also be a time consuming measure I imagine Jackson spends quite alot of his time trying to put down petty problems with board members, with this new system he will automatically know who to shut down ounce they reach a certain number.

Just a topic for debate, peace out.

Is there a limit on photo views? It seems that each time I look through a photo gallery, for instance, after about 15 minutes I can no longer see photos. It seems that I need to re-boot my computer to start viewing again. Is there something I could do to prevent the need to re-boot each time?

Thanks,

I posted a short note in the the Jakarta forum, just after a post that was marked with Jackson's blue tagline, "I hope someone puts this post in the Reports of Distinction". There was nothing unusually helpful about the post, and I recalled a lot of other posts from mainly newbies that had the same tagline.

I looked at a couple of other posts that had the same "recommendation", and found nothing special enough to recommend them to be enshrined. In fact, it seemed that new and low post counters were just being given an "attaboy", and the reports in general were nothing out of the ordinary.

Unless the sections are going to be renamed, "Reports of Average Quality", I think it's gotten a little silly. I'll give you some examples.

Since Google Earth is becoming better and better with very detailed views of every city (or anything?) I think it would be very valuable if Google Earth Placemarks would be possible to upload. I propose that the file type .kmz is added as a valid file type. These files are pretty small, < 1 kB.

Especially in places where streets or roads have no name (or street names are written in a language that is not easily interpreted by the commom westerner) I think this would make it much easier to give an accurate description of Where? (compared to "... to the left after the second street on the right after the fourth building...")

Hello Webmaster,

I'm wondering whether some proportionality could be enforced between the quote and the fresh text, like if there's 15 lines of quote, the fresh text needs to be at least 5 lines long etc.

It is not unusual for whole pages to be filled by lengthy quotes of the same post followed by one- or two-liners. Apparently some members don't know how to edit a quote; or use the "quote" button instead of the "add a report" button.

Jackson:
I have just submitted my subscription and my sole motivation for having done that was that I do truly believe that you are more than deserving of support for the great job you are doing.

Along with my now "paid" subscription, I noticed that I can now view the "Photo gallery" and WOW!! This is truly a dynamite feature (over 62,000 thumbnail pictures) and is very useful when I don't have much time to go through all of the pages. I now figure that I had previously probably missed at least 50% of all the pictures posted by just scrolling thru this photo gallery.

Just a suggestion, but perhaps you should publicize this fact as I betcha a lot of the other Senior Members are NOT aware of this extra feature of a paid subscription. Could I also perhaps suggest that there are perhaps a lot of "senior Members who are content - just as I was previously - to just mooch along without paying as you are so generously providing practically all the other features with no fees etc required.

I of course realize that a lot of the success of ISG had been because most of the Senior Members DO contribute good reports, pictures, advice etc and that you probably do not want to alienate them by demanding that they also pay a subscription. This being the case, I would not mind you posting this article in other more "visited" threads with my personal appeal to other Senior Members to:

Please consider how much you all have benefited from being a Senior Member and that you....'should'... NOW show your appreciation and support for Jackson and ISG by paying for a paid subscription.

Dear Jackson,
the problem is that many of us enter the Forum from our working place where the administrator of the network might discover our activity on the web.

As well known a fire wall or a similar device (proxy,...) can store the visited web sites and print a log for each user.

Untill a couple of years ago it was possible to enter the forum just digiting in the URL box the protocol of the server wich is http://209.172.34.102 (http://209-172.35.240 for the USA one) realizing a discreet access to the Forum but now it looks to be unpossible.

Can you/we think about to create somehow a hidden access to the Forum for those who connect from places other then own home?

Dear Sir,

First I would like to thank you for your work in providing this invaluable forum. It has quite literally changed my life. While it is true I would have found many of the wonders I have found in other ways, the fact remains that this forum is where I learned about most of them. But please allow me to interject one note of respectful and I hope constructive criticism. It regards our Humble Turd (That Asshole):

That Asshole (aka Humble Turd) is BY FAR the best poster on internationalsexguide. He is one of the main reasons I read this board. His writing is entertaining and funny, and his editorializing is not heavy handed and is absolutely on point. And most importantly - he provides excellent new information. After all that is, I should think, the point of this forum.

I am truly shocked that he is being subjected to deletion and censoring. I fear we will lose that rarest of contributors - one who actual provides new, detailed information. Persons adventurous enough to explore new territory will inevitably be somewhat prickly in personality, but this is a very small price to pay for their hard-won information.

Please consider these points and reconsider your imposition of strictures upon this contributor. I'm sure you are well aware that restrictions are anathema to the creative personality, and we will lose his valuable input merely because a few others who never contributed anything disagree with some of his more colorful asides.

RE: Suggested Urgent Site Improvement - Personal Credits Link-library

In view of recent developments I feel it important to recommend a site-improvement. To further support my suggestion I have also consulted the "banned users" chapter.

This is to save trouble for other legitimate members in the future. To cut the story short, I was accused by some "woman" (yes I am sure it is a woman) of making trouble and several of my posts got (badly) edited as a result plus I got banned/censored for a certain time.

Please also refer to:
http://www.internationalsexguide.info/forum/showpost.php?p=625787&postcount=130
http://www.internationalsexguide.info/forum/showpost.php?p=625782&postcount=129

All accusations from a nobody, a "zero". After consulting the "banned members list" I had to conclude that I am not the only one attacked in this way. This is happening with growing frequency. The "women" get in under false, macho sounding names, accumulate a number of points from meaningless comments, like:

"Where can I buy Cialis over the counter in Bali?" or "Can anyone recommend a hotel in Bangkok?"

They even receive "senior" status by this. Then 2 or three of them attack a legitimate member who they hate. The result is at least a headache for the attacked legitimate senior member and for Admin too. Maybe even worse and we commit suicide.

-----------------------------------------------------------------
Cyber faces:
In Cyber-space anyone can pretend to be anything. Name is just a skin, has no meaning and carries no credit at all. This is the reason I have compiled this simple "library of links" to my own reports which immediately informs the Admin or other members of our contribution or the lack of it. Ideally, members could edit their own little "library of credits" and this "simple list of links" would be accessible by anyone with the click of a button in the header.

There you go, now we know who you are...You are not just a fancy (meaningless) name any more. If someone has only credits for 5 requests of hotelinfo and 10 comments of "yes/no" type then we can say, "Hey baby, get real. Why not do some work before you start whingeing?"

Anyone can easily make trouble here, especially if they form gangs. They immediately receive credit from our respected "authorities" the equivalent of "WSG cops". Just like in real life it happens. And the Admin knowing nothing about either of you, cannot easily determine the correct action. Therefore you might get kicked. So guys, do create your little "library of credentials" because you might well need it one day. Otherwise they may mistakenly ban you from WSG and you commit suicide or get a heart attack as a result.


This is your "online-life". It is worth a little work to save yourself from evil aggressors who wish to destroy us in dark name of "International Feminist Terror and Slavery of All Men". Our Sex-Tourism Project elevates men above feminists and their "Pussy-Man" puppets and of course they have trouble tolerating this.....



------------------------------------------------------------------------
We are under attack:

Let's admit it, the very presence of this site is insulting to feminists and women. This is not a regular porn-site where imbecile wankers drool over photos of over-glorified females. But this is a sex-travel site. This is "real life". If we wank, we wank into real cuntholes and not on sheets of colored paper or computerscreens. We buy them and sell them for cash, just like any other product. This is an ultimate insult. No wonder we are attacked with ever growing ferocity. Even though we are right and innocent. All we are trying to do is to restore some of men's original rights and put more intelligence into this rotting, female driven world.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Our "Virtual Society...."

We are like a little "virtual society" of 188,000 citizens, our great ruler being no-one else but "King Admin" who has the right and power to exterminated, delete or edit any one of us. Of course our Great Ruler and Judge (-may he live long!) wants to be just and fair but it is most difficult to personally know 188,000 subjects and equally time consuming to continually search their history, whether they are ligitimate or aggressors.

We have to do our bit to defend our kingdom and help our great King (-may he live long!). Therefore only the worthless will object to implementing this new policy. Abyone with real credentials will unconditionally welcome it. It is like your handshake, your body, your substance. As your handle, your name and face are totally meaningless. What sets us above women is that we look at the substance of things and not the face or skin to judge someone.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Oh, Our King :What Do You Really Want this Forum to Become???

This also connects with my other request: What was the use of the name change? The name "That Asshole" has become a trademark. Some hated it, others loved it. It is also a symbolic name. It urges us not to look at the name but the substance behind it as men ought to do. Surely, all men would rather have the name of an "Asshole" and have real achievements than called "Sir-Hero" and possess a substance of ...."emptiness". Why not turn away from another feminist brainwashing product and try be "meaningful" instead of choosing a fancy name and staying full of....."nothing at all". So, please Admin what is the objection to the name?

Do you really wish me (and other members) be called "BruceWillis" or "Superman" and fill your data storage hard-drives with comments like: "Can anyone recommend a hotel in Bangkok?" or "Where can I buy Cialis in Bali?"

It might be what you aim for. I don't know. I am just asking. But please clarify us so that we may know too and we will try to please you.

------------------------------------------------

Finally the ......"Meat"...issue

Let's be hypocrits and say that we love women for their brains. Let's live in lies and say that a woman's success has nothing to do with "body" and that half pound of ........ Surely, we will look very politically correct and receive nice pats on the shoulder from our leaders.

I know that you don't think this way. But you have to comply with directions from above otherwise -despite of being our King (everyone has a greater King above) - you might get in trouble. Therefore, to avoid editing my posts "totally senseless" I suggest an easy compromise wording: "?eat" - the questionmark replaced by everyone according to their political views. It seems fair to me. And as women look on the surface of things only, it will not offend anyone.


Really, when I say BYFM, I don't mean Beautiful Young Fresh Women, as it had been badly re-edited. No, it is not me! Never! I am sorry to still have my name next to it because I did not write that. I wrote: BYFM and meant Beautiful Young Fresh ?Eat. The reader can replace the questionmark according to their own taste.


I am ever so happy to research and to write but will never write "BYFWomen". It nullifies the whole meaning. I rather stay home and wank over fancy pornsites like feminists would expect us to do. Taking the trouble and travelling thousands of miles and go through various hardships and making the damned maps, just to write BYFWomen has no appeal to me. Would it to you? It has to be BYF?Eat (or some alternative wording if we can find) but never BYFWomen........

You sure are an Asshole

I have to admit I have used this forum to find my way around on my first visit to Bali. Yes, I'm middle-aged and have no partner at present, even enjoying the freedom of just visiting working girls when needed. And the girls in Bali were so polite and "caring"! But you, That Asshole, are a real blight. You say you never had a girlfriend and there is a reason for that. You truly are an asshole.

And much worse! Your attitude to women is sick, perverse and stunted. Sure, there are other screwed up chauvanistic pigs on this forum, but this Asshole really takes the cake. But, really, you deserve pity. You have no idea of LOVE, as you put it. Your just a tight-arse user and much worse! And pity the poor girls who you choose. They must be puking. You are a very ugly individual. You need to learn what respect is. People in Bali are POOR, dickhead, so try and be a bit generous. And working girls are still human beings, idiot, so what about a bit of basic respect.

You poor bastard, it must be hell being you, in those moments when you are truly alone and yyou havent got a woman to conquer and throwoff all your sick insecurities onto. Poor Asshole. "I was so happy that I didn't have to keep her for myself only, but I could share her with other ugly, hairy men like me who would root her young pussy to shreds soon after I finished. This is love in it's true meaning. " What a MORON!

I would just like to make a brief comment on the censure of That Asshole (TA).

TA is one of the most prolific and entertaining contributors to this site IMHO.

I look forward to his informative reports. The details have helped many people who use this site, including me.

His style and opinions are his own and he is entitled to them.

They do not have to be followed or agreed to by anyone else here.

He is That Asshole.

I was under the impression that this was an adult site and as such we should be able to make our own mind up on opinions people present.

I do not have to agree with everything he says.
But I enjoy reading his posts.

People who are offended can use the ignore option if they are so appalled
by what he has to say.

Please leave the asshole alone.

Jackson,

Overall, I think that you are doing a good job here and the ISG is my preferred message board about mongering, but the time has come to make some changes.

I think that the ISG has grown so much, possibly beyond your expectations. You do a good job at trying to keep the site running smooth, but you ARE only one guy and the time constraints of managing a huge site like this, plus your other outside work and maintaining a personal life, is too much for anyone. For that reason, serial antogonists, flamers and other low-life losers are often given free-reign while you get around to dealing with them. This, many times takes as long as a few days- a few days which often interrupt the flow and harmony of an otherwise great thread. When do you get to the problem , you generally do the right thing.

Having said that, though, I think its time that you possibly consider naming some moderators for various threads so that things can run even smoother. Possibly, each section or country could have its own moderator, therby cutting down the work that you have to do.

I'm sure there are many senior members in good standing here who would be willing to help out pro bono or for just a possible subscription upgrade.

Thanx,

Jackson:

I really hope that the report below is an example of the inefficiency of the software that you employ to identify Reports of Distinction and not an indication that you think that this report is of such high quality that it merits being placed in a seperate section for easy reference. This report describes behaviour reminicent of how junior high school males sometimes behave at sock hops held at their school as they attempt to "feel up" the good looking girls. It would be hilarious if it were not so pathetic. Who will punch out Guy #2 first, a boyfriend of one of the girls, or better yet, one of the girls themselves?

You have told me to simply put Guy #2 on my ignore list. You would likely give the same advice to Dr. Skank, Guido88, Asia Traveler2, Firebird, TJ Fannatic, Cruiser D, Synombinky, Larsca4, Round, Wise Buddy, Charlie H., Peoples Elbow, Excess and Ricardo Cabrone who are just a cursory list of members who have objected to his posts. And what about the hundreds of other members who are also put off by his posts but have said nothing?

You have placed Guy #2 under permanent monitering status. This is because you have had to remove many, many of his 368 reports for blatant racist comments and personal attacks. I have NEVER seen a single one of his 368 reports that would help another monger in the pursuit of our hobby. And yet you keep him around, and with this ROD status, actually encourage him to make more of these kinds of posts.

I am seriously questioning if I want to remain a member of a forum that allows this kind of thing to happen.




Guy #2 report from the Prague forum:

Yeah that's another groupie: Karoke. Ignore him. I went bar hopping in the States last night. I got 3 phone numbers, deleted 2 and the 3rd I have mixed feelings. With thefirst number, I turned around and she was grinding on some guy. With the 3rd, 4 guys came up and started talking to her as I was talking to her. It led to a physical confrontation, and I called the cops. Yeah, I was walking around kissing other people's girfriends with the girl's consent and hugging them.

What's the point? Last night was a very bad experience, particularly when you get a phone number from someone and you turn around and she is grining like a ***** on some other guy. I know that American women when they hit 25 stop acting like this. But why? Because they can't do it anymore. And what did they do from 18 to 25?

My point is I do not see a difference between an escort and a Western woman. What difference does it make if she fucks 100 guys or 10 guys?

Yeah, I know there are extreme and ATTRACTIVE conservative Christian women who don't act like this. But they are in the minority and you never see what they do behind closed doors.

So I am out 60$ including $30 in drinks I bought for the 2 bimbos who let me put my hand on their ass.

But compared to Prague, this sucks. It is a waste of money, it is a waste of time. And you get shit. These girls from last night are ll age 21 to 26 and white and attractive.

But there is no comparison to Prague. It sucks living here. I will go out tonight and try this again EXCEPT I will not spend more than $7.

I am still trying to get over the image of seeing a girl I just talked to get grinded. Of course, I joined in the grinding even if the othe guy was on the other side.

But we are not talking about escorts. We are talking about normal chicks. That's why it is so disturbing. That is why I don't see the difference between escorts and normal girls.

It is cheaper for me to fly to Prague than to live here and go out with these bimbos. And I haven't even discussed getting over the age and race issue here and the issue of fitting in.

That is why I do not appreciate the posts from guys like Karoke and Guido88. Look at their names, so stereotypically. I am trying to do something different--survive--in a world that is very messy. These guys just want to fit in and be like everyone else. Hide during the day and live in a closet.

Anyway, my final comments goes back to my originally thought. It is about money and work. Making money. I am going to quit my job and start my own business so I can fly to Prague.

Last night I was stupid. I almost had feelings for these bimbos. I should have saved my money for Sweet Paradise.

Remember, if she is not a virgin and you are not fucking her, someone else is. Women have sex drives 24 hours a day. Go to any bar at 3:00 am in the morning. Keep your costs down.

Karaoke,

I too have been skeptical about a number of reports of dubious quality recommended by Jackson as Reports of Distinction. Then I noticed that nearly all of the reports in recent memory so recommended by Jackson are reports by Regular Members who have a very small number of posts. In fact, at least one or two that I recall have actually been first posts. So I came to the conclusion that this is strictly a business strategy on the part of Jackson, i.e., he wants to keep the newbies with the forum so that they will stay and become paying members. If this works and is a good business strategy, so be it. However, it does defeat the purpose of having Reports of Distinction in the first place, or so it seems to me.

Dear Jackson,

I have posted some videos of me in action with some of the girls who I have posted pictures of, because I can't post videos here. However, I am only going to give those links to members who have a PM function and who have contributed constructively to this site. I will check their posts first before I give out the links, to keep them to the better posters. Perhaps I am being a bit "snobish" or something here, but that is the way I want it.

Most of the videos are posted as "Private" so only if you have the link can you see them.

The photography is not great, the quality is only passable, but they are all real one of me and some of the girls I've seen.

I also will only give them out to people who provide me will a real e-mail address, (ie not Hotmail, Yahoo, Gmail and so on) to my personal e-mail address. But they have to contact me through the PM system first.

I hope that is fine with you.

I'm sorry if this is not the right place to post this, but I have a question about the Search Function:

We may search a specific thread such as 'Thailand' for a member's posts, but as far as I can tell we cannot search anything more specifically than that. For example I want to search for a members posts only in 'Thailand - Other Areas'. Is there a way to do this? Can there be?

Thank you in advance, and keep up the good work..

Sir,

As i write, early in the day, i`m saddened not being able to read the posting by "That Asshole". His quaint self drawn map is visible, no report, he is a senior member, there should be no delay?

My word! the most outstanding postee on the ISG forum, subjected to censorship? The moralists on the forum read his most informative postings and then, what do they do......Complain!

Sir, i have learned one thing in this short life...."the mind of the moralist, is the dirtiest mind of all"

This is a wonderful forum in which many of us have, "found our place, where we can express ourselves". I appeal to yourself not to inhibit members postings such as That Asshole.

On the USA site my name is Member #2970 prior to you switching servers around July 2005 I was Good & Plenty. When you divided the WSG to USA and International I somehow lost my username Good & Plenty. I have senior member status on the USA site, I been a member since 2004, however back then your site covered both USA and International.

On the International site my username is Girl Hunter. When the original site became divided I somehow lost membership and senior status for the International side. I am actually want to start posting on the International side as well. My request is can I have one name for both sites? Can I also retain my senior status?

I am not trying to avoid my yearly $19.95 fee, I just dont want to treated like a newbie if I post on the International site. Most members are kind to the newbies however I dont want to recieve an insult that would spark some stupid feud which I have do nothing but waste your bandwidth.

I am not a computer tech guy, but if you could help, you might need to know that my contact email addresses are different for each site. Please Help!

Thank you,

Girl Hunter, Member #2970 ( formally Good & Plenty)

Hi Girl Hunter,

What happened to AsianRain and all his posts? I miss his facial art so much.Thanks Kirsia for the interest. I'm still lurking and continue to contribute occasionally. Unless something has changed, ALL of my reports and circa 800 posted pics are still in the archive. Just be sure to search for "Asian Rain" and not "AsianRain" - my user name has a space in it.

As for facial art, both myself and others have requested the addition of a "bukkake/facials" section to the special interest topics. Maybe the topic is too controversial or taboo. If it is ever added, I will post a few gems to christen the new thread.

And greetings to you, Jackson.

A topic that comes up in both in the forum and in down time at clubs, FKK's, bars and between sessions and sheets: to tell or not to tell the girls and SP's about the existence of ISG and the information it contains. Also, the inevitable how did you find out about <fill in the gap> me, this place or .....

Mongers attitudes range from "Internet, what is that?" to "Yeah, a site called ISG.com had a full rundown on <fill in the gap>.

My own views and responses are always that a "friend" told me I should take a look... and "Internet, what is that?". I take the ISG Mission statement about "Men discussing and sharing with Men....." to its gender exclusive words. But that is me.

Jackson/guys:

I've been doing a bit of RX on the question of Senior vs regular membership on ISG - and I cannot find any hard and fast rule on how one goes about achieving such Senior member status any more. Somebody here want to chip in?

Anyway, from what I remember - Senior membership USED to be a big deal and it used to have a 50 post minimum PLUS at least one picture posted up requirement. Big deal, as in the past, ONLY Senior members could view photos and send PMS to each other.

But ever since the availability of the $19.95 membership, such Senior status is not a big deal any more - as a Subscriber can do everything a Senior or Regular member can do/have access to - PLUS get things like the photo gallery thumbnails and the stealth mode.

Somebody correct me/Confirm my understanding is correct?

Thanks

SEAJ

Ps. I also seem to see that regular member's post are pre-screened/delayed from immediate posting versus the immediate posting up of a senior member's post. Are Subscriber REGULAR members also imposed such pre-screening/ monitoring?
And my apologies for C+P this post from the Donggguan/China thread.

I am just wondering why there is an option to have the stealth mode _ for paying members_ so not to display the main ISG headline, for screen discretion, and than have an ad banner of anotehr weebsite with (nice) naked or so women. This can attract the attention of others even if jsut glancing at the screen.
Thought the paying option exempted the subscriber from this kind of banners.

hi jackson - just in case it's helpful - glanced thru some stats recently on through traffic, response times and so on, comparing isg and (for the sake of comparison) adultw0rk and punter net. the speed of isg has never been an issue for me personally, although i expect like yourself and other members here the march 16th 'server busy' screen still popping up can be a bit frustrating.

my feeling is that isg is too valuable a service to worry overly about such things, especially when much of your time must be spent keeping the many forums running smoothly. but when i saw the figures for isg seemed to be the poorest of those three sites it struck me that you might want to use such web analysis figures to get on to your tech advisors and ask if they are giving you the best value for money. given the amount of work you put in to provide us all with such a landmark product, i think it's reasonable to hold your own service providers to account.

good luck with them. i've no real qualms as an end user. but more power to your elbow if you can set things how you want them to be on the server issues.

Congrats to Jackson on the new software. The way photos are handled is a very nice step forward. And the ease of layout on threads with new reports looks good too.

A big undertaking to change the software when a forum has been as successful as ISG. It is easy to put off necessary improvements because of the upset and hassle involved. Jackson's not sitting on his laurels. We're fortunate to have a forum like this administered by a firm hand we can all relate to (rather than a bunch of nameless moderators for instance) and that he still has the energy and will to keep it first class.

One of the advantages of being a paying member was the possibility to set up the view in "stealth mode", ie no banner would appear on your screen.

It now appears that the stelth setting has been removed and the banners have increased and are quite animated too.

Since banners are often quite clear on their subject, it can be a problem when one visits ISG in a public place and does not want to call attraction to what he browse.

So far it was easy to 'hide' what kind of forum one was on.

Lots of forums use the same software and unelss one reads the details it could not be detected, but now. It cannot go un-noticed.

I respect the need to earn money, we are all in it for the money, but I thought being a paying member granted a sufficient contribution to the money cause of "ISG charity".

We've been getting a series of craftily made-up posts on the China Threads. Especially on the Beijing one. By these Guerilla marketers of the overpriced and terrible escort services.

I have of late been "reporting" these posts I suspect being nothing more than these guerilla marketing tactics (using the reort button). But have as yet seen anything happen to these posts.

These bogus "reports" makes us regular members wary of posting anything up. As we certainly do NOT want to be party to luring the unsuspecting monger into thinking that such bogus reports are the same as / another one of our "REAL" reports.

... I have of late been "reporting" these posts I suspect being nothing more than these guerilla marketing tactics (using the reort button). But have as yet seen anything happen to these posts...
With all due respect, I am not sure about the efficiency of the reporting button nowadays. Since the latest software upgrade, I too have reported several obvious infractions and it seems that most of them were simply ignored. Actually, it seems that those that had not been ignored were dealt with only when Jackson had a look at the concerned threads, but it might have been totally unrelated (I mean that it was probably not because of the reporting), because it occurred many days after the posts were reported.

It seems that the up-grade must be taking a lot of Jackson's attention away from most other things.

But I would have thought that this is a Bread-and-Butter issue for him as the Beijing thread is now reduced to non-participation by most of the trusted Seniors. Instead we've got all these shills craftily posting up their touts as reports, posting up phone numbers and/or their web sites,(I thought that such advertising details are totally verbotten - but these contact details are still up there even after I've reported them) replying themselves using other handles and even trashing other shills' offering. It's truly full of just plain ole crap now.

This is truly sad as the Beijing thread USED TO BE one of the most vibrant and TRUSTWORTHY threads on the China forums; to see it being reduced to just a site for these shills is truly a travesty.

SEAJWe're seeing something similar in the Singapore threads. There's a shill posting for his escort service (at least he's honest about what he's doing) , who is blatantly listing his e-mail address. I've reported a couple of them, and just today the e-mail addresses have been taken out. I know moderating is a real pain, but it's probably necessary in some of these forums.

But this is not good enough for these shills who are instead conducting their guerrilla marketing by pretending to be just "regular Members" posting up their supposed good experiences with their own business etc. They've practically taken over the whole of the Beijing thread with their tactics of using multiple handles to chat back and forth as if they ARE genuine punters.

There's so many of these guys / It's even become so ridiculous that one shill would actually knock another's offering whilst praising his own. And they're blatantly posting up Phone numbers, Web sites. And nothings being done to these posts.

Truly ridiculous situation to the point where most of us previous regular posters just stopped posting on the Beijing thread. Wonder how Jackson can tolerate this happening.

Speaking of editing posts, I think it would be nice if we could edit our posts at any time versus getting only one hour to do so. I often find typos, errors, etc. that I would like to correct days or even weeks later after I submitted the original post.I agree with The Cane, the short time allowed for editing our posts is an unreasonable restriction. Allowing the author of a post more time to edit his post would certainly improve the grammar and spelling of posts as well as improve the accuracy and readability of the forum.

hello,

i'm sure you are aware that kuwait is an authoritarian hell hole, with a very active police force that loves to bust prostitutes. even alcohol is illegal in this country. i think it is extreemly unwise and dangerous for the girls to have their numbers publicly posted on the kuwait forum. from personal experience i can confirm that two of the girls who's numbers were publicly listed on the forum were busted by the cops. being busted for prostitution in kuwait involves being arrested and gang raped by the entire police department and all their friends, then a few long months rotting in the deportation jail before being shipped off like animals back to their home country (without ever even being allowed to collect their belongings). it is a horrible fate that you wouldn't even wish on your worst enemy. please jackson remove all the publicly listed numbers from the forum. these numbers were not put there with the consent of the girls, and it is putting their well-being at great risk.

Hi Jackson,

As I could not initially decide on a username, I wound up with two accounts (one never used). Because I have an unlimited supply of email addresses, I use a unique email address for everything that requires one (e. G. Forum registrations). So, I have two accounts with two different email addresses. These addresses have never been given out to anyone or posted anywhere. The only place I ever even typed them was on the ISG registration form.

Imagine my surprise when I began receiving spam at these addresses. On Sept 17, I received two identical emails promoting escorts in Kuala Lumpur, sent around the same time, separately to both addresses.

Yesterday, I again received two identical emails promoting Asian escorts, one to the first address I gave ISG, the other to the second address I gave ISG. Again these addresses have never been used anywhere else and the only connection is that they were both used to register on ISG.

Can you explain how this is possible? Unless this was done with your knowledge (and presumably for profit) , which most would have to assume is the case under the circumstances, I do hope you're investigating a major security breach right about now.

Thanks for your help. I hate spammers, don't you?

Hi Jackson,

Thanks for all the effort you put into running this forum.

I wonder if you have considered how the value of the individual posts could be rated in order to make it easier to find interesting posts. I know you setup with reports of distinctions, but it is not used a lot and not really helping us.

Very often I click on posts that are completely irrelevant or of little or no value to me. That could be posts from regular members just requesting other members to give more information that is posts that should have been sent as PM and not as a public post. Also some posts contain a very long citation and then just a no-value comment of less than one line.

It would be wonderful if you somehow could leverage the power of being many members in solving this problem. I'm thinking that we as members might be able to help each other by tagging the relevance / quality of posts. I know relevance is subjective, but still I think it could be very helpful if some kind of value-indicator could be shown on the front page and on the threads – just above the individual posts. Maybe counting and displaying number of clicks on a 'Thanks for your effort / work'-button could do it. I think original contributions either in the form of new knowledge from the field or putting an effort into typing and editing a good post should could be the way forward.

I would love to see such an improvement.

All the best.

On some threads there are a lot of mystery-typing (ie. Substituting a few letters with stars or others characters). I know it is with good intentions to protect the places and providers / contacts, but I find it very annoying and it reduces the quality of the information and hence the ISG.

Lately I haven't been able to find the old list of abbreviations. Did you remove it? Or maybe it should be expanded to also explain thread specific abbreviations. This is certainly relevant in the Indian threads.

Could thread specific abbreviation lists help on this issue?

CopenhagenIt had been moved in the FAQ section, bit tricky to find it.

And it is missing quite some abbreviations one can see around in the various forums.

Some might be obvious but some are a mistery.

I agree with the niosance given by the stars and uncomplete words, to which I would add the tendency, in some forums, to use local language words that means nothing at all to anybody not familiar with the language.

But those guys think to be smart.

Dear Jackson,

Just to let you know that yesterday I received some spam e-mail at the e-mail address I used for the subscription here.

It was by a "Russian" escort agency (running their server with a Dutch ISP) providing escorts in (of all places) Kuala Lumpur.

Now I use that e-mail for a lot of things, so I cannot be sure that is not from somewhere else they have acquired it, but the coincidence is rather surprising.

Not that I am terribly upset by this spam, but I thought to let you know nevertheless in case you want to check the security of your databases.

Hi. I can search the forums. But the results I get. Well, I must not be doing it right. I searched the forum for "Lorenzo" 'because I wanted to find a certain report of his, an overview of countries. I got many hits on "Lorenzo". But they were not highlighted, and got these LONG lists of threads that I had to wade through. I finally just messaged Lorenzo, and he sent me the link to the report.

Also,"reports of distinction" will have a link, but it's a big long thread of discussion, so I have difficulty finding the actual report. Say, one of Tungahura's reports.

Another search was "renting apartments". I keep expecting these highlight words when I do the search. Thank you kindly for the help you have given me so far. NO. I am not trying to build up my "report count".

This link has hard, specific information. I really had to search the web to find it! Not ads by real estate hustlers, the pricey kind where people are trying to sell very upscale places.

Dear Editors:

I wish to lodge, in the most strenuous terms, a complaint against whoever reviews posts on the Cambodia forum. On February 15 I wrote the following:

Have a friend who recently retired to Ecuador. He's in a charming town at about 3500 meters. About 400 expats mostly from the US live there. He bemoans the fact that they live in walled compounds which they never leave and spend most of their time complaining about Ecuadorians and watching Fox News.

When my post appeared whoever reviewed the reviewer changed Fox News to MSNBC. I take great offence at this. I must add, this is the sort of mentality and action I expect from the dim witted people who are fans of Fox. I demand that either my post be re-posted as I wrote it or the $20 I paid to upgrade my membership be refunded.

I will wait to see who this matter is handled and then decide my next action.

When one opens photos on any given thread, a window appears with links. On expanding the window by dragging the mouse to your desire, open a photo. It would be wonderful to read the story relating to the exciting photo?

In summary, he was not happy to be censured for, and he admits, contravening ISG posting policy.

It would be a pity to lose such a contributor.

The landing page is nowhere near where the actual post that I clicked on is located. I have been finding that this happens on the UAE section of the site. I hope I have posted this in the right section and please excuse if I posted in the wrong place as I could not find a report bugs section of the forum.I've noticed this quite often. But I don't land randomly, typically I land a few days to a few weeks in the past of the target post date. The larger and more active the forum the more likely this is. New posts in the last few months, no issue, but the further back you go the more pronounced this becomes. Its makes the search nearly useless [google search + google cache work better, and if you REALLY want to read a post, you can look at the posting date of the result and manual walk forward in the forum until you find it].

-

My uninformed guess is the indexing used by the site search [forum+post I'd] is not being kept up to date when posts are deleted or made invisible. That is why recent posts are on the page the index thinks they are on, but posts that a years old can be 20-30 pages off [more posts made invisible or deleted in a few years vs a few months].

Did you ever thought to make a folder just containing sort concentrated Sex info on a town? A folder which can be quickly browsed? I don't come well along with the "search function" tried several times, but did not succeed. Means now I would have to go and browse laboriously from all the hundreds of Bombay files, in the hope to find any information on Colaba area.

Or giving a tag to such kind of files, so once you search, so all these few important files could be available in one folder.

Ok there are "reports of distinction" but reports which are short, not written in good English, might not qualify for reports of distinction, but would do for a flderb of "Short information on Sex in town"

Thanks. John.

But I don't think your old posts are gone. You will simply have to access them one by one in the various threads where you posted them.Got it. However, I was hoping my earlier messages were saved on some server somewhere (wishful thinking!) from where I could directly obtain a back-up (hassle-free). See the point?

You are right, I will just need to trawl through the various threads and pick them out one at a time. Thanks for the suggestion.

hi,

as a regular member i just posted and have posted before. this time i noticed a message saying that the message will not be visible until a senior or whatever have reviewed. that's ok. however earlier i have seen some message flashing without being able to read said text. with high speed connection it's only a flash which is impossible to read and new people like me may not understand and repeat posting. i'm an active reader and have noticed several double posts probably due to this fact.

is there a possibility that such message get a delay or whatever for people to understand?

Hi,

Is there a way to get rid of all that "India"-Pictures in the poto gallery? Is there a way to filter them out?Here, here! I was just going to post the same question. Glad I took the time to search.

There must be a way to filter Indian forum pictures out from searches. 99.99% are just rubbish and add no value at all.

Is there anything that can be done to modify the picture search functionality to EXCLUDE photos from selected countries?

Hello,

I have the same question. It's getting worse every day.

Before the photo gallery was very interesting. Now you have to scroll 5 Pages to get some real photos from other countries, than India.

Why you can not make a block for 'all Indian' ? - or all Photo except India?

Would be very nice, because I think this Indian Pimps just try to make business.

Those Images add nothing to the forum, Just a sequence of studio images promoting some business with partial POV?

Add to these the fact they are heavily photoshopped. : meaningless.

Hello Mr. Jackson,

Just by mistake I have created a new one in Forum Europe Italy titled Night Tour Update.

Because it was not my intention to do that but I wanted just to add a report, can you kindly provide to erase it?

Thank you in advance Jackson.

Jackson,

May I request that the excessively numerous boring photos of fully clothed Indian ladies be placed in another place. It has little if anything
to do with mongering. If it does, it is highly insulting to show the full facial features. It's more like adverts for a department store. BORING!This is a common complaint if you look below.

There seems to be little interest in doing anything about it. I suspect the reason is that it keeps the click count high, thereby maintaining a $ value for the site.

Been a member for a few years now and have always noticed that after signing in, I get bumped off after around twenty minutes. No big deal when just viewing photos but have lost a few TRs I was writing and especially one right now. Is this standard or am I doing something wrong?

Could you please make a sub thread "Luang Prabang" since my reports have made this previously thought limited into a quite active destination.

Currently Laos has "Vientiane" (the capital) and "Other areas" threads. Luang Prabang is a UNESCO heritage city and most visited by tourists.

"Other areas" which is currently mostly dominated by LP reports should be left for less known and rarely reported destinations in the country.

Thanks.

Just a note to say that I will not be renewing my subscription after a number of years. The site, especially the photo gallery, has become dreadfully boring with fully clothed Indians and the remainder mostly repeated adverts for service providers. A shame as ISG was, once upon a time, a great and useful site.

Then recently within the last 2-3 months, a few escort agencies in China started posting the same pictures over and over again, often around once per day each. The photo gallery has become extremely polluted.

Dear Sir,

I am not sure where to post this because it affects all the forums- I hope there is a place for it.

I have found problems when I try to access escorts sites while in the country they cover. Also. You cannot access Ukraine or Turkey Backpage from the USA- there are probably more countries with the same problem. The answer is to download a VPN server. These create a new ISP address for your computer in whichever country you want. As an added bonus I think these VPN's hide the ISP for your particular computer. Not sure about this maybe someone has more information?

I am not recommending this company, but I use a company called NordVPN. Cost is about $80 for 2 years and there are literally hundreds (maybe thousands) of VPN sites through the world which you can use to log on to the Internet. If for example you are in the USA you can select a Ukrainian VPN and log on to Kiev back page. Similarly if you were in Turkey and could not access a Turkish Escort (as mentioned in on of the Istanbul posts) you could select a VPN in the USA and log on to the Turkish site.

I hope you can find a place for this post. I have been reading your posts for years and getting some very useful information. Hopefully this falls into this category.

Matthew.

I don't know what is going on but since I became a member of ISG my texts have been edited by someone who seemingly doesn't know proper English. After posting my texts they turn up in a mess, with bad spelling and unreadable phrases. One of my last posts the term C-cup (which is a bra size) turned into see-cup (whatever that is supposed to mean). Aldo 'I'd' (short for I would) oftentimes becomes 'I the. ' Another thing that happens is website addresses becoming unreadable, like 'omello. De' becomes 'omello. De'.

How is this possible? This has going on for quite some time, more than a year. I urge ISG to fix this problem. Don't change texts that are correct and make them look bad.

Backpage got shut down and craigslist dropped all personal ads. USA is after these sites for sex trappic and other things. Many other boards have been shut down and owners brought up on charges over the past few years. I believe ISG relocated and hopefully is out of the reach of the authorities.

The AP site, which used to be vibrant, is effectively dead. There are virtually no recent posts, and the ones that are there are mostly complaints about night clubs that are closed.

I am in Buenos Aires now, and it is clear that times have changed but there is still an enormous amount of sex available here.

Is Jackson dead? The AP forum needs a moderator. It needs reorganization desperately. Better yet, eliminate it and make it part of the regular ISG.

BTW: I cannot leave my complaint on the AP forum because, after numerous attempts over a period of months, I cannot "recover" my password. The system does not respond to my password reset attempts. One more indication that the AP forum is dead.
