I think it would be a nice feature to be able to access only photos that have been uploaded onto the site. Not sure if that's possible, but a quick view of them sure would be nice.

Due to the server sometimes serving up header info of another user, the:
Welcome back 11Bravo. You are currently a Senior Member
If you are a Regular Member, then you don't need to apply for an upgrade to Regular Member. Thanks
Your current membership email address is: xxxxxxxxx
Is your email address active? Have you checked your email recently for WSG Forum messages?

I would suggest removing the e-mail address from this "header" for reasons of privacy. If a user wants to see his e-mail address for wsg, then he can use the Table of Contents -> Private Messages -> Change e-mail address to check.

Mail address in header good idea in theory, but, in practice, not.

Lover Boy,

Isn't that the purpose of the boards in general?? I get PM's a lot from people telling me they have tons of contact info and that they want to exchange info in a tit for tat manner. That bugs the shit out of me! Post it or get the fuck out, but I an not starved for contact info.

Also, there is an understanding that if you are a proven good source of info that other senior members will share their data with you based on you track record.

Jackson,
Can we create a database pool for "SENIOR MEMBERS" where we can input provider info on exchange basic.

Jackson,
Is there a possibility for "Last 24 hour Photo Section"
I did request this before but did not hear back.

Jackson,

Could we have a Danville section for Illinois? Much of the action for this town gets reported in the Champaign section, however, there is a lot more going on in Danville.

Thanks.

Heres a suggestion. I'm into the sw scene, lots of guys are into the amp scene. Maybe we could have seperate topics for each in the state reports are being placed. Like you could click on sw or amp.

Thanks for your time.

Jackson,

A section about providors on cruise ships would be a great addition to this board. I have never gotten this service but it must exist and since I'm going on a cruise soon it would be very helpful to read about other members experiences.

Jackson,

how about a section in Brazil that has all the addresses for the termas, Discoteques and other small terma type places also add all the web sites for the escort agencies. IMHO sometimes it is hard to look at old posts to find an address for a particular place. I think a more coherent section in most of the big mongering cities is a pretty good idea that way members can read the juicy stuff in the forum and for information purposes they have a central location. Also members can post in that same section if a particular place has been closed. I think alot of good information gets lost in the forum due to massive information.

[My Alias]

Jackson, how about a "mongering in the news"? This would be a place where someone can post links to newspaper stories about major busts, and stories about what it's like to be in the life or hobby.

For example, today there's a story in the Odessa American about a major massage parlor bust in Odessa, Texas, and the madames at the houses involved kept such good records that 74 people -- including a district attorney and a newspaper editor -- have turned themselves into the police. Having a "mongering in the news" category would help remind people outside the Texas area to use cash instead of credit cards when visiting a provider. By the way, I posted a link to the story in the Other Areas category in Texas, but not sure how many people will see it there.

[Dinghy]

LJ - essentially you sent in writing what I mentioned in the Thai Photo section. (except you are prerhaps more polite in the naming convention)

[Rolly Polly]

Maybe when arguments are unresolvable senior status should be suspended. This assuming both parties are involved in equal flaming. If one is flaming and the other is being a gentleman about it then the suspension could be one sided.

Or even suspension from the boards all together for a month or so.

I bet arguments will disolve much faster when people have to be put in time out.

(I know I'm going to regret this suggestion one day)

Nice idea, hope it works out and keeps the forum clean.

But may I propose that you edit your below post and change "Skinless and The Traveler" to "Skinless vs. The Traveler". Your below wording gives the impression that I took part in flaming others. I never used bad language and always refrained from calling names or making personal attacks even when being constantly attacked by a few troublemakers at the lowest possible level. I share your point of view and therefore avoid such behaviour under all circumstances. Bad language shows lack of respect for your opponent, lack of education and self control, and usually a total lack of arguments.

Thank you

[Suxard]

I agree with "L". I enjoy the boards, but get rather annoyed at some of the flaming going back and forth. A personal debate section would compartmentalize those types of discussions where the party(ies) involved can choos to retreat and argue their points while not "polluting" the general board.

[Ljohnson]

Jackson -

I would like to propose the establishment of a "Debate" section, either within the Thailand thread or for the WSG Forum membership in general.

The Thailand thread has been the domain of one or more "flaming wars" e.g., "Traveler and Skinless Discussions." I recently exited from a sustained debate with Domino which took up bandwidth on the Photo Gallery of the Thailand thread. Such discussions do not belong there and I apologize to you and to the membership for contributing to that.

We can always debate issues via PM. That will continue. But there are topics which the members want to discuss publicly and others will want to chime in. This can be very annoying and clutters up threads that are intended for other purposes.

But the debates are going to continue. So why not just establish a section devoted to that? Those who are not interested can avoid it. Those who want to participate can do so.

Re "personal insults and attacks" - This form of spam is offensive. I do not like it. And, as I have said before, when a man is engaged in a debate and senses he cannot win on the merits of the issue being debated, he resorts to personal attacks and name calling, desperately trying to divert attention from the weakness of his position and hoping to direct attention to his opponent in a personal way, separate from the issue at hand.

Having said all that, I would have no problem suspending the rule regarding this type of spam within the Debate section. If someone wants to show his weakness by resorting to name calling, I say let him have at it. The readers can observe this and draw their own conclusions. It would also do away with members "ratting out" their opponents (fellow WSG members) to you, asking that the spam (in the form of "personal attacks and insults") be deleted. I'm sure you have plenty of better things to do and, lets be honest here, you do not seem very willing to enforce this rule anyway. No disrespect intended, but lots of personal attacks seem to be acceptable to you. You have deleted some but not others. Witness your inaction despite my repeated requests that the personal attacks and insults from Domino be deleted. With the suspension of this rule in the Debate section, it would be one less thing you would have to worry about.

If a debate begins somewhere other than the Debate section, members hopefully would post a message saying, "Take it to the Debate section."

I don't know if this will work, but I want to suggest that it be tried. The arguing will not stop. This way, perhaps, you could corral and contain it.
