Comment on Forum Rules Here

[Param Ahmad]

My report a day or so ago seems to have gotten lost, so I've revised and expanded it:

[Deleted by Admin]

No it wasn't, I deleted it. You broke a rule of the site, you caught a flag, it wasn't personal, enforcing those rules is what I get paid to do. The rule you're saying is new has been there for about 13 years.

Time to move on

I just noticed this web site's automatic editing software deleted the street or house numbers from my report yesterday listing massage parlors in Century Center (in Honolulu, Hawaii) and nearby.(Deleted by Admin)

So you thought you would post it again? If you READ the forum guidelines you would SEE that posting specific addresses is against the rules.

A2.

After looking it seemed like 10 or 15 minutes I did find a link to the posting rules and found this:

I see nothing in the above quoted rules informing users "posting specific addresses is against the rules. " Furthermore, how can this web site be useful to readers without the addresses of the businesses or "providers" being discussed?

It's hidden, it's hidden under the link called Policies and Guidelines on the FRONT FUCKING PAGE

http://www.usasexguide.info/forum/cu...eid=ForumRules

Where it says at no less than 4 separate places not to post addresses and phone numbers.

More, when I tell you not to do something, I don't give two fucks what the rules actually say, if I tell you not to do something don't fucking do it. We have this rule because too often guys post addresses and phone numbers of their ex girlfriends to fuck with them and I don't have the time to chase them all down to determine what is legitimate or not.

This one SW contacted me to give me some info about this one area. Now I know providers are prohibited from advertising. But given how slow the SW has become in socal I don't see why they are not allowed to give info where we can find them or discreet contact info. ? If not they should be at least allowed to post info or advice about different areas etc..

[LuxuryEbony]

I have a question about posting a comment on another provider who isn't apart of our family here. She has moved but is looking for new friends and wanted to know if I could post about here in a forum. I don't want to get flagged so I'm asking if it's ok? I have posted for her on my own ad in the past when we were working together.

Tell her to register at the new site (USA Adult Classifieds) and she's welcomed.

I couldn't have said it better myself. This site is a treasure trove of useful information, and Jackson has done a good job keeping it relatively spam free, which aint easy. It is one place where we can go and be confident that the information that we are getting is legit, rather than out to scam us, and given how many scams are out there, USSG is a safe place for US.

That said, I'm fully in support of naming names when it is in the interest of members safety.

Just my opinion.

I with you 100% Mundane! I am, as the handle suggests, a rather shy individual, with a lot to lose if I were to get busted at my hobby. Since it is just a hobby and not my life, I keep the two completely separate. One of the ways that I best manage to do this is to live by the adage "better safe than sorry". So what if I have to miss out on more dreams than I would like, all it would take is that one wrong decision to bring it all crashing down. Boards like this are one of the places I go to help keep me safe, and help me to insulate my personal and professional life from my hobby. I would rather have the information, particularly from a senior member, than to have it removed or edited to "protect the innocent" when it's my ass on the line.

Stay safe,

Shy

Where I agree that we should not help police embarrass people who have been arrested trying to provide or be with a provider at the same time I think that deleting arrest reports causes a much bigger problem. By knowing a provider has been arrested we as monger are now informed that police are looking in that area and we should exercise caution in finding a provider there. Also we know that if a girl was arrested on Monday and is taking calls the same day she may be working with the police to set up stings. By deleting these posts we are effectively left clueless to what we may be asking in to. Just my opinion and I certainly would keep longer pictures out if arrested but maybe it's time to change the rules and allow us to see what providers have been hit. Thanks.

[Fluffhead1977]

Are we not supposed to show the whole phone number when posting about an escort? I've noticed that a phone number I write in a post gets changed so that the middle 3 numbers are xxx. I thought I was putting that in for a courtesy, so that people can easily contact the escort, to differentiate between girls with the same name, and to make it easier to search for a girl to see if she's been reviewed yet. What good is only showing the partial number?

[ILoveThatPoo]

I myself have been issued several infractions because I did not understand the new rules. IE about jail and arrest.

It like anything revolves around communication. Just because someone thinks they know what you mean is not necessarily the case. I was cited for saying the same thing in a different way thinking it would be ok. It was not. After a few PM's with the administrator it was spelled out.

Don't take infractions personally. It is a way to process, sort and controll the huge volume of posts on this board. Keep in mind it's free and we " Mongers" don't make the rules.

I personally think this forum is a great way to express yourself and impress others without the societal reprocusions. Not to mention help get your friends laid.

K let me get this straight.

The admin deleted a complaint post in the Comment on Forum Rules Here forum, cause it was posted where it was suppose to be posted in the Comment on Forum Rules Here forum? But said it was posted in the The general posting sections of the Forum?

Did the post get moved to here? Or am I losing my mind!

Must have been one hellva complaint!

The one hour edit limit. If even that long. On posts is a too short. It used to be about a day. Way too often posts.

Have misleading or inaccurate information. After a few PMs, the poster would like to edit or update the post but cannot.

Perhaps this should have been under suggested improvements, but I did not see a reason to start a whole new thread.

Thanks for your attention.

Replies to posts became problematic when the poster edited the original post after it had been replied to. Jackson cut the edit time down to one hour to address this.

You can still say what you want to say differently by replying to your own post after the edit time.

I'm referring to a post I made here, http://www.usasexguide.info/forum/sh...rtiser-Reviews

Now the question I have this is my 2nd "infraction", so am I run the risk of losing my access / account here?

My first infraction I don't even remember, I was asking a question to a moderator in the open about a technical issue, I've been posting on various bulletin boards since I got my first computer in 1998. I've asked questions to mods in forums countless times. The only "reprimand" I've ever received was a no answer, but here I get an "infraction". Fine. Would be nice while you're writing me an infraction maybe show me the proper avenues to go by. It's a rather large bulletin board. Kinda frustrating to be honest to search through, and frankly 15 years posting on various bulletin boards I've yet till now be reprimanded for asking a question to an anonymous moderator.

And now I get one for "discussing racial issues", again fine, but fact is my response was a response to another post, nothing remotely offensive whatsoever, go ahead and pull it out and read for yourself if it's possible. I don't want to say what I do for a living but I educate people. That other post which I responded to was like mine. Discussing racial issues, and it's still up! In fact, his closing remark was about "being proud of your race", and how exactly is that in any way reflective of the purpose of this bulletin board? They didn't get an infraction, nor was it deleted! I'm not trying to be an immature cry baby but I mean WTF? I don't think they meant anything by it, nor did I in my response. I happen to be a member of the group the poster was commenting on, but it seems crystal clear obvious somebody's picking sides here.

I just want to make sure that next time I say anything innocuous that there's not another rule I might be violating and I get another infraction that gets me thrown out of here.

I got no problem with your rules but this infraction be. S. Being leveled out for simple reasons of unfamiliarity, I can understand posts attacking other posters, or blatant racism, drug usage, condoning illegal behavior, personal information, etc, but I mean this is ridiculous.

Why are posts delayed for moderator approval?

[blue]=================================================

Hi Jack0505,

I appreciate your position.

First, please recognize the the purpose of monitoring reports it not to aggravate you but to keep the forum free of SPAM. It is specifically because I put in the work to monitor posts that The Forum is relatively SPAM free. I don't like all the work, but I know from experience that there's no other option.

Second, if I lowered the Senior Member requirements to 6 months OR 25 reports, I would have spammers specifically posting 25 posts within a few days to get the senior member status, and then start spamming the forum. That's what did happen ALL THE TIME a couple of years ago when I once had the either/or criteria.

Third, the USASG Forum is a compendium of travel reports, not a chat room. I care about the reports, not the chit-chat. Therefor, I don't think it's really that big of a deal if, for example, a travel report to Chicago is visible at 6pm or not until a few hours later?

Fourth, I moderate and approve all new reports at least twice per day, and sometimes several times a day. The average delay is less than 6 hours. I know because I watch the statistics every day. The only time the delay is more than 12 hours is on those few days when I have some issue that prevents me from getting to a computer, such as a day when I may be flying between continents. Even then, I usually find an internet cafe at the airports so I can approve the pending reports before I get on my flight and again when I land.

Personally, I think you should be commending me for doing such a great job of managing the forum instead of telling me that I don't do it fast enough.

Thanks,

Jackson[/quote]

First off, thank you Jackson for the time you put into this site I for one appreciate it.

But I'd like to know your feelings concerning Licensed Massage therapists who also do this community a service and the public posting of information on them, let alone a thread dedicated to that info.

I for one love a LMT who provides this service but I would never do a public report for the world to see. Now BP girls who advertise as escorts or body rubs are different, but to go to a LMT and get a HE then post about it invites trouble and not just from LEO it also brings in the Health Dept and possibly a state or city's licensing dept (or whoever monitors LMTs) then to make it easier by providing a dedicated thread. It's one thing to have to have someone to dig through a BP thread, but to have one almost semi-dedicated? Someone could just show up one day and go back through the thread and have himself (or herself) a field day!

I implore you to perhaps consider a new rule about posting info about people who have much more to lose then just a few days in jail.

Thanks!

Oscard

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

Hi Oscard,

Outside the obvious limitations on posting real names, private street addresses, etc., I do not delete information merely because it's accurate or because someone is concerned about protecting his favorite provider/venue.

Therefore, I would appreciate it if you would refrain from discouraging other members from posting information that is in fact within the Forum's Posting Guidelines.

Thanks,

Jackson
