Trusted senior members only
[QUOTE=Hl123;2503645]I know of a provider who started out doing dances out of her appt. Had a stripper pole and all. I saw her and it was really hot. I will share info in PMs only.[/QUOTE]I should have stated this first.
It's a tough nut to crack
[QUOTE=Myfuntime;2512355]The senior member system seems a bit off to me. It's a good start, but time and post number doesn't quite do it.
I've been here several years, but only have 10 posts. If I understand right, I only need to get to 25 to become senior? Surely there should be more vetting? Like 25 actual reviews or post that give info, not just commentary? Perhaps a button for other senior member to "thumbs up" the report, and then require so many of these thumbs up to get senior status?
A lot, and I mean A LOT, of posts here have no substance, and are either bickering back and forth, pining for the "old days", armchair quarterbacking, or me too / I agree posts, etc. Nothing wrong with those, but 1 I wish they'd all stay in the "general reports" section, and 2 more importantly they do nothing for me as far as trusting someone more as a senior member.
Think about it, how often do we say things like "senior members pm me"? Does the fact that joe blow has 35 posts that say jack shit and has been on here a year somehow make them more trustworthy?
Not saying the system sucks and the site is mismanaged, it's good. Just could be better. Also, wait until I get to 25 to change it![/QUOTE][BLUE]We have thought of a number of ways to do it.
1. We have over 400,000 registered members now, putting up 1200 posts a day. There's no way in hell we can take the time to evaluate posts for quality.
2. Add up and down buttons and make it so a guy needs time, posts, and a certain amount of ups over downs. The problem with that is most of the trolls are trolls because they have no lives. They would make aliases in order to up there posts more and down guys they don't like.
3. Have volunteer moderators who would recommend guys to get upped. Again same issue, for every one we pick there would be 100 guys who hate them.
4. We are thinking about adding a private subscription area. The [b]ONLY[/b] way in would be to pay. Having to pay gets rid of 99.99999999% of the trolls. The problem with this is you then remove your best posters to an area that isn't accessible to the general membership so that limits growth.
I'm open to ideas if anybody has any. Remember, if you're an unmoderated senior and you post your idea here I won't see it.
