Comment on Forum Rules Here

Thanx,

I'm glad I brought some excitement to the forum.

[QUOTE=Daddy Lows]Rolly,

That said, the Thai Photo Gallery is beyond help. At least [b]eltib's[/b] movie posting temporarily stalled the long missives. I miss the pics of the Thai humpers a lot. ;)


Jackson,

Thanks for a great site and all the work you do for us.

Peace[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=Redneck3565]Here's a suggested (and will probably be ignored!) rule!: Mongers need to know some damn geography! Its pathetic to see a post about an SW/AMP in one area that is NOWHERE NEAR the area of that forum (e.g. a post about Pomona, CA in the "Los Angeles" section!). Of course if this board was more "geography-friendly", this would not be a problem. Then again, if the MODERATOR actually paid attention to what the problem is, and FIXED IT, it would not be a problem![/QUOTE]I agreed with this gentleman. Similar problem with Santa Barbara forum, people who are living an hour and a half away posting it there!

At least in your case Pomona is about 25 miles away from LA. Non geographic compliant posters in the Santa Barbara forum are living 60 to 80 miles away!

I love poon, but there is little point of driving 80 miles and come back for another 80 miles to just get one pop. Very annoying indeed, please make it stop, show them the light to the "Other Area's forum.

Great site and great people. 98% of my experiences with the site and the people on it have been great. But I'm starting to notice a disturbing trend on the Illinois board - don't know if it's gone over to the states as well.

It's the infamous "Has anyone seen _________ from Craig's List" post.

If you go to Chicago Craig's List the site is swamped with these annoying and useless posts. Which is why I was excited to see a Craig's List review section here as I hoped it would cut through the crap on that weak (but potentially useful) site. Well, those posts are starting to migrate over here - mainly on the CL section, but they have begun to fan out into other city specific sections as well.

It's not a lot, and it's not like every post I have put up is strictly a report, but since I've seen the first one, I've begun to see them multiply. It's like being infested by cockroaches.

Just some food for thought. "Have you seen _______" 1 line posts that add nothing should be deleted before they infest this near flawless forum.

And while I'm here...yeah this Craig's List stuff is a pet peeve of mine...the CL Reviews section should be about exactly that. Reviews and getting info on women. There's a ton of useless crap up there that is basically turning that section into a chat room about the misadventures of Craig's List posters, and the wacky things they post! A freaking message board about a message board!

Sorry had to vent. Peace

I must un-willingly agree with some of the members on this specific thread in reference to photos and the on-slaught of useless comments that fellow Mongers make.

I have noticed that more specifically on the International Site but more specifically on the Brazil Photo Section. I have seen a guy post a photo and an onslaught of useless comments ensue the photo. I have gradually seen that trend on the usa guide but it has been to a minimal extent.

Just wanted to vent and ensure others that they are not the only ones that have noticed this un-yielding trend.

I enjoy the photo section with one exception. I think the rule for posting a photo only of someone who you have had sex with should apply. Pictures of potiential SW or cut and copy remakes of Craigs List pictures are lame.

It is more of a trophy when you have put your time and effort into getting a picture of a woman you have been with. It takes balls enough to find and have sex with these women. Getting a picture is taking it to the next level.

Snapping a picture out the window and posting it is a waste of time with the exception of warning Mongers of who to be wary of. IMHO, Steel Blue.

The other suggestion I have is a spell check for us Mongers who are "accidamecially disencliened". See what I mean!

Not sure if this is the proper place for this or not.

Was wondering what the rule is on editing a a post one has made. Some time I see an old report of mine andit can be edited other times not. One I wanted to edit today whihc I posted yesterday I was not allowed to.

At other times I have seen ones I made weeks ago that I have been given the option of editing.

Seems so of random to me.

I have recently added several reviews of providers and do not see the review count under my user ID change. Am I missing something?

I think the use of blue text which is reserved to Jackson does not include links in blue. I have seen at least one post where the poster says blue links are only allowed to be used by Jackson. Tell me I am right.

It is OK if I post a blue link to a commercial website such as a massage parlor site unless I have some sort of affiliation to the site. Correct? If I have any affiliation I should only post under classified ads. Right? How about if I play safe and only post this type of info to classified ads?

Not sure about the second part of your question, so I won't even attempt an answer.

However, the blue law is in effect. However, due to web standards, a hyper-link on any webpage will appear blue by default. Jackson [i]could[/i] change this, but blue is somewhat an expected color online for hyperlinks. If you post a link in a report, it will appear blue automatically. I'm sure this is not a violation of the Blue Law, as the Forum software colors the links automatically.

[i]You[/i] [b]can[/b] change the color of the the link you type if want, and add italics, etc., like I have, in any of your posts using VB script. A link to how to use VB is here: (OK, I just can' resist changing the color to show you what I mean.) [color=green][URL]http://www.usasexguide.info/forum/misc.php?do=bbcode[/URL][/color]

[QUOTE=Wallie](OK, I just can' resist changing the color to show you what I mean.) [/QUOTE]
Ooops, nope. You [b]can't[/b] change the color of the link. The forum's software seems to over-ride the VB Script for a URL color link automatically. My bad.

However, VB does work for [i]italics[/i] [b]bold[/b], etc.

I agree whole heartedly Blue Steel, I do need Monger Spell Check, I have been flamed for my spelling, see report by Big Red50 10/24/06 Baltimore-General Reports #2225

I have a pointed question for learned Senior Members

Should we post CL photo re-prints for CL reviews?

There are members, whom do not think we should post CL re-printed photos.

I have also reprinted the USG Rules-Photo Guidelines, yes I do RTFF Bench.

What’s allowed.
The following types of photographs are acceptable for publication in the Forum:
•Photographs taken by you of women in any state of dress or undress.
•Photographs taken by you documenting your travels, including photos of hotels, restaurants, cuisine, street scenes, beach scenes, night clubs and tourist attractions.
•Photographs of escorts copied from escort websites.
•Reports accompanying photographs should identify the city, country and approximate date of the photograph.

What’s Not Allowed
The following types of photographs ARE NOT acceptable for publication in the Forum:
•Photographs copied from other websites, unless you are the original photographer.

PLEASE NOTE: Given the difficulties in verifying photos suspected to have been copied from other websites, said photos will not be investigated unless I am contacted by the webmaster directly.
If you suspect that another forum member is posting photographs copied from other websites, you are encouraged to challenge them in The Forum.
End of USG Rules-Photo Guidelines

Big Red Comments:

CL Photos are of escorts copied from escort websites and are clearly allowed. These CL providers change their names so often you need a photo to identify them. Since I don’t have the balls to take and post photos of myself and SW’s, all I post are photos of providers, I have seen or want to see.

Like to hear from other members,

Just trying to play by the rules

Big Red

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

Hi Big Red,

You are correct. Photos of escorts copied from their ads are perfectly acceptable for posting in the USASG Forum.

Thanks,

Jackson[/blue]

First of all: Jackson, as always, thanks for the hard work you put in to keep the USASG online, and keeping it as such a useful source for the Monger. With the Moderating you have to do between this site, and the INTLSG, I don't know how you find time to Monger and live a life away from the site yourself.

OK, with that out of the way, I would like to see some of the old rules about photos posted on the Guide return. I realize that policing the Photos in the Guide would be yet another time-consuming thing you have to do, but I also think there are too many "junk" photos being posted. Here are a couple of examples:

[url]http://www.usasexguide.info/forum/showpost.php?p=495733&postcount=122[/url]: IMHO, half of the photos in this post are useful, half are not. The images of the Lady that are body shots, etc., are fine, but a couple of the shots are nothing but Porn, and are, again, IMHO, add virtually nothing of value to the post. As I remember, the posting of Porn was against the old Photo Posting Guidelines of the USASG.

Another example: [url]http://www.usasexguide.info/forum/showpost.php?p=489507&postcount=310[/url]: All the photos here are "action shots".

There are [i]many[/i] Photos posted that are of this ilk, or which have only a Vagina shot, or Penetration. It seems to me that Photos which only show sex, and absolutely no facial (as in Face, not the Pearl Necklace type of facial) images, don't serve to help any Mongers make a connection with the Lady in question.

[url]http://www.usasexguide.info/forum/showpost.php?p=493858&postcount=1507[/url]: This post, unlike the previous examples, perfectly does what having a photo gallery is intended to do, it shows us the Lady, her body, and her build, without resorting to "Action Shots", which as I remember the old rules, were against Forum Policies.

Also, there are many photos posted which have embedded text in them, such as this one: [url]http://www.usasexguide.info/forum/showpost.php?p=489052&postcount=1461[/url]. This is against current Forum Policy as well, and seems to happen fairly regularly with some members, including the one who posted this example, and Glenn61, who likes to "decorate" his photos with slogans, etc.

This post itself violates the Guide's TOS, as it contains instructions for an external link, passwords, and sign-in information, in addition to the useless first image: [url]http://www.usasexguide.info/forum/showpost.php?p=489043&postcount=377[/url].

Using a previous example again: [url]http://www.usasexguide.info/forum/showpost.php?p=489507&postcount=310[/url], I think this an good example of another thought I have. I believe that the ability to post 10 images attached to a Report could be a reason there is so many "useless" images posted. It seems to me that 4-5 attachments would be plenty for most Reports. This might cut down on a poster's desire to post [i]everything[/i] they have, and instead, just post the [i]best[/i] images of a Lady.

I know there are no easy solutions to these problems, as I'm sure Moderating the Guides takes enough of your time, but perhaps a system-wide message reminding Members of the Photo Guidelines, would be helpful, especially if repeated Violations carried some sort of Penalty. Perhaps a 30 day ban on a user's ability to post images, or a temporary lowering of Membership Status would help.

[b]{Fellow Mongers: this is not meant as an insult or indictment of [i]any[/i] individual member(s). These are just things that I think could make the Guide more useful. Please, do not be offended if I used one of your Posts as an example. I just linked to some of the ones that really stuck out during a quick perusal of the Photo Gallery.}[/b]

Just some thoughts. If you find them useful, great, if I'm crazy, that's fine too.

All the best, and, again, thanks.

Wallie

I am going to be a complete hypocrite here and do exactly what my post is complaining about - complain about post that complain about the content of other posts.

Maybe we need another thread to discuss the proper posting technique and what amount of information is acceptable. Until then we should use the existing "Rules" as our guide which clearly state:

"No Personal Contact Information: Please do not post any personal email address, telephone numbers or street addresses in the Forum. Please use the Forum's Private Messaging system to exchange this information."

[url]http://usasexguide.info/forum/announcement-forumrules.php[/url]

It could be argued that posting the name of the AMP is akin to giving the address since the address can be easily found once the name is given. (I am guilty of providing establishment names). However, I don't think that giving a provider's fake name (you know they are giving fake names just like you do) can be linked back to them. They could all be sharing the same name - who knows? Same girl probably has 3 or 4 names they go by.

So, until another thread is started for this topic we should reserve this space for AMP reports.

(P.S. I would feel a bit guilty about this post but I just posted this months experience yesterday).

I once visited an AMP provider,
I was so proud of my performance inside her,
I blabbed so much detail,
Cops put her in jail,
Next time I'll be much brighter.

Ok, we need a new thread for poems now.

First, an AMP is a business, and thus it [u]IS[/u] [u]NOT[/u] a "personal address", and thus it [u]IS[/u] [u]NOT[/u] covered under the prohibition against the posting of Personal Contact Information.

Second, a provider's first name, fake or otherwise, [u]IS[/u] [u]NOT[/u] specificly identifying to the point that it would be considered "Personal Contact Information", and thus it [u]IS[/u] [u]NOT[/u] covered under the prohibition against the posting of Personal Contact Information.

Actually what you posted was a limerick, it is a very specific 5-line poem that is often humorous. I think opening the forum to all poems would encourage actual literary ventures, not so much appreciated here.

LOL

First I would like to say thanks to Jackson for all his hard work & due diligence in maintaining this site.

With that said I am having a hard time understanding why we only have X amount of time to edit, change, add to, or delete a post. (I think it’s 24 hrs)

If I am the originator of the post I don’t see why I cannot edit, change, delete, or add to the post at any point in time until the post is archived.

Perhaps I am missing something & just don’t’ know how nor can I find how to change the post once the X time line has elapsed.

I think this would help eliminate emails to Jackson requesting changes made to posts.

I feel it would be an improvement to the site to be able to go in & change, edit, delete, the post without the necessity of contacting Jackson to do it.

I know I have sent several emails requesting a deletion on a post with no reply or response, and the post(s) are still there.
