Jackson,

I am a I am shocked by the number of reports that are getting through with racial slurs embedded within them. I feel that this is a brotherhood of mongering and we should not discrimintate against mongers unless they are doing despicable things like child molestation.

What can we as fellow mongers do to impress upon our fellow mongers that using terms such as those that belittle or take away the dignity of others should not be used on this forum. I realize you have many other things to consider and this must indeed be a monumental task upon which you are overseeing (and doing a damn good job, I might add) but let's see if we can stop fellow mongers from insulting other mongers (be it intentional or unintentional). Examples: Just do a search on, "chink", "nigga", or "jap" and you will see what I mean. These are unacceptable terms that in my humble opinion have no place on this truly outstanding board that you maintain.

Thanks for taking time out to listen.

Jackson,

I am curious - once again something that I contributed did not make the site. I posted a fairly informative message in the Rio board concerning credit card use. I have yet to see it posted - it's been several days now. Is there something wrong with it? Is it old news? Did I break a rule of this site?

Please advise,

There seems to be alot of Underground parties going on in NYC lately. I have been to many and the ones with Yahoo sites I post openly and you can join then get screened as well. There are others that are by invite only so I post my e mail and those of you with alot of posts I then pass along the info. They are nervous about who attends them. I have been e mailing with a few 100 over the last 2.5 years so you are cool. Its the ones that come out of no where we are worried about!

Jackson,

I understand your reasoning behind your actions. Many Forum posts are arguments or discussions regarding non-hobby related topics. I have seen many of these strings. I agree with you in saying that “this does nothing to enhance the value of the Forum's collective database “, but these rants can make a Regular member into a Senior member. The quality of a member’s post goes unchecked. I have also heard many stories of ladies being hassled by LE, because a member provided too many details in the forum. Inappropriate postings could be the reason for so little action in areas. I have not been a regular contributor because I do not have a lot of time or money for this hobby. I also refuse to post useless messages. I regret posting this message since this does not help my fellow hobbyists, but I wanted to voice my opinion.

My apologies to my fellow hobbyists,

AsianRob

You comments are completely appropriate and most welcome.

I understand and respect your not making the board a free-for-all. However, it's a catch-22 for newbies. How can we write reports if we don't know where to go? Maybe a policy of allowing 1-2 e-mail posts for newbies, but no more if a report is not posted.

I appreciate what you are saying, but the idea behind the forum is that other members who have traveled the road before you have posted their experiences in the Forum, thus providing you with the information you need to "know where to go".

Jackson,
I am of course trying to make positive & valuable contributions to the forum. I recently posted a reply to seeksgoodtime's message concerning the exchange rate against the real. But it is not posted. I don't believe there is any problem with my message & if there was I assumed I would hear from you. I hope to move closer & closer to Senior Member status as well. Could you tell me what happened with my message? If it was just lost in cyberspace, I will write it again. If there is a problem with my language or content, let me know please.

Hi Jackson,

I commend your views on members back channeling thecontact details through private emails. However, in my case, I have had the misfortune of seeing a clamp down by LE because one of the members was very forthcoming with details on the forum. The girls were the sufferers in that case. To avoid such a thing happening isnt it prudent to be a bit more cautious??

Perhaps the senstivie information could be routed through your private email?? If you could ascertain the requestor is not a vigilante.

Your thoughts on this matter will be appreciated.

Justfun.

Hi Jackson -

Due to the recent problems with certain "overly active" posters, I will not name any names, let's just say he was recently assigned his own section...

Anyhow. Have you give any thought to a moderated forum similar to what is available through slashdot's slashcode.

In that system, people are assigned "karma", and then randomly asked to moderate comments made by other users. The more posts you make that are considered good, increase your karma.

When members read the comments, then can choose what level of "karma" to read the posts. The trolls are moderated at (-1) for instance, so you can essentially make them invisible while reading the posts.

An additional control is that people with good karma are also given the opportunity to metamoderate, which means they review posts which have been moderated, and judge whether they were moderated fairly.

This system keeps the original moderators in check.

Basically the good posters are always given the chance to rise above the chaotic noise of the trolls and spammers, and yet no one can say that they were censored, because the posts, though usually unread by 99% of the visitors, are available to those who want them.

It seems like the system works pretty well. Slashdot has a good number of posters that could only be described as "professional trolls". The ranking/rating system minimizes that. The day I accidentally click on goatse.cx from here, I will know that the WSG has finally come of age.

anyhow, just my dos centavos.

Hi Jackson,

Could you take down that limit for 300 secs between posting?

It really doesn't make it easy to respond to more then 1 post with this limit. I suppose this has some reason for not having spam posting or something, but then you could always ban the bad mis-user?

Thanks for the good work!

Jackson...not to be an ass, but the word b*tch can also be used as a verb...(i.e. I b*tch too much about little things.)

@Jackson

Good point, Good rule.

The women at any of these clubs are giving us a service, which we are willing to pay them for. Some of them do thier "jobs" well, and others do not. We should treat them ALL with respect and not relate to them using any type of masochistic terminology.

Just simply refer to them as girls, ladies, women or even mamas.

Thank you

[DiabloMactavish]

hey Jackson -

how come words like fuck, ****, and cock are okay on the forum,
but ***** (b*itch) is censored?

Because the only use if the word b*itch is to refer to women in a derogratory manner, which is not permitted on this site.

Thanks,

Jackson
