Should select members be able to ban you from a conversation thread?

Thanks for your comments. We can certainly circle back and look at this function to determine its current place in the overall community.

This was originally given to certain groups of member to control some of the harassment that was going on in previous years. However, I do suppose it has been a bit overused or applied unevenly in the last year or so.


I'm glad you are aware of this... It's just like being in Public and saying something to someone who doesn't agree with you.

Oh,definately.
But it does get lil escalated, saying something in louder voice. But be eyes half-closed and not to take it too personally and refresh yourself, is what I learned.
 
Conversation should be allowed to flow in the direction conversation takes it, and not be censored.

I generally agree. Except of course where particular users are being constantly abusive. However this is really better handled by a reporting mechanism and a very active mod team. @TAG Manager seems to do a great job in this area but that isn't always 100% enough. Even so there is an ignore feature and we as adult humans always have the option of not reading particular comments.

Threads do go off topic, sometimes wildly off topic. However there is a difference between a general discussion thread and particular threads like reviews of a certain shop or provider. In that second category it makes sense to keep things strongly on topic. In general discussion threads, things will often wander. Thats the nature of conversation between people and unless someone starts in with personal attacks/unfounded criticism of individuals then there really is no reason to fuss about side topics within a thread since there is in fact a report function.

As for personality clashes, that too is part of being an adult. Some of it comes from the fact that we here are of many different cultures and many of us don't speak English as a first language. Mostly we do fine. However even here I think the ability to lock someone out of a conversation is childish as in, that is what children do. Regarding personality clashes I suggest that all of us should "put on your big boy/girl clothes" and grow the %)("! up already.

As a final thought, not all topics need to be public. There are less than public forum sections and the private message function can also serve as a way to have group conversations outside of the public eye.

I can totally understand why these controls were given, if there's a problem and it needed fixing it was probably the right thing to do at the time. I thank you for clearing that up, and thank you for your attention to this situation. I'm done with the topic, now back to being a pervert...
 
Part and parcel of the problem of the site starting of as a forum for people to post about mongering and sharing information to a forum that is for/run by a group of independent escorts tagmanager is cool with ;(.

This is a bit incorrect.

The site was started to give a level playing field for both groups. We let girls post here freely and reject them when issues arise. We also let clients post freely but for both sides we have implemented some controls to keep things under control as we have grown. Some of these controls are still applicable, some maybe not.

I get equal hate from both groups on various points and it's my job to strike a balance. Just because we have girls here and some carry a verification, does NOT entitle them to any special benefit.

The site control is definitely mine and while I take suggestions and feedback, I don't always implement them. The regular members, both men and women, don't strictly dictate decisions that are made or what rules are enforced.

I'm very disappointed at some of the drama that has come about but that's a part of the industry, almost like any other industry.

If anyone has any real complaints, I urge you to put it in writing either publicly or privately to be addressed with a formal response.

In the end, the majority of people seem pleased with the service we provide. There is a minority that is not pleased, which is to be expected.

Thanks.

In all fairness if that was true I would have been kicked out long ago

Full disclosure: you left once on your own and we let you come back with no issues. Given your history, if what Bama said had any truth, you'd be history. (You know, pussy control!)



(Last part is satire for comedy challenged people.)

I didn't know we independent escorts run this forum :cautious: did I miss something? :p

You didn't get the memo? Every June one independent escort gets elected to run the site for a year.

This time they elected Frenchy. Much the same thing than with Trump; I'm pretty sure he didn't win the popular vote either. :ROFLMAO:
