Oh hell yeah I got something to say about this
[QUOTE=DNut;2141826]Yes. I would do it again, without any regret. Again, and again, and again. Because frankly, the feelings of one newbie does not concern me as much as the safe mongering experience of the rest of the board. THAT is my priority.
So you got called out and had to prove you're legit. So f-ing what? We all had to prove our legitimacy one way or another. Do you think the first time I posted everyone went, "Oh my God! There's DNut. We can trust him. His word is gold. "? No. I had to build credibility. That's why I mentioned it's so important when established providers say, "Thank you. " to a newbie's review. I could care less about the newbie's review. But I do care that the established provider "legitimized" the newb by verifying that he is a monger.
I told you when I pointed out that a newbie reviewing another newbie raises a red flag, that that the weight of a review is only as much as the history of the reviewer. I stand by that.[/QUOTE][BLUE]Note this is in blue, not black.
I'm not sure what event you to are fighting about but I have something to say about this in general.
It is way, way, [b]WAY[/b] past fucking time for this "calling out" of noobs to end.
Do you pay for the ads to try and get new traffic to this forum? I think not.
Do you pay for the servers to run this forum? I don't think so on that one either.
What you are here is a guest, yes a guest. A guest we value and hope keeps coming to our parties but guests don't start fights with other guests in the living room.
This shit with new people is going to stop. I suggest you stop it now because this came to my attention here in the Octagon I'm not going to review your last 50 posts and then put you on moderation for the inevitable 20 argumentative posts I'm going to find.
I don't care what you went through when you started, what I'm telling you is that shit is fucking over. I will gladly trade 10 senior members for the 200 new guys they run off with that shit. Because eventually I will get rid of all the seniors that do it, and the 150 new guys that stay will become seniors someday and they won't be dicks to the new guys after them.
It's not your forum and if Jax wanted a rule like "new guys get shit on until we are out of shit" he would have written one, he didn't. What he did write was two separate rules, numbers 2, and 3 right there at the very top that say don't do shit like this.
I'm using D Nut's post for this PSA but this goes to anybody here. You don't have to help new guys, you don't have to spoon feed them. You're more than welcomed to ignore them if you wish, but what you can't do until you own this place is keep running them off.

So I really have to post this??
[B]I never though I would have to post this, but based upon several recent experiences many providers have no clue about the interaction of OILs and LATEX.
LADIES[/B] you CANNOT use LATEX condoms when you also use most OILs. This included:
-Baby Oil,
-Grape Seed Oil.
-Wesson Oil.
-Motor Oil.
-Petroleum Jelly I. E. Vaseline products.
-Hand lotions,
These "massage oils" break down the latex in condoms and often cause them to break, usually when a guy is entering or giving a good hard thrust. (unless of course you are looking for a "sneaky" BBFS session without the guilt. Also called a Surprise Creampie. ".
Use WATER BASED massage oils and lubricants or use NON-LATEX Condoms. Both are easy to get at CVS, Walmart etc in the section where you buy other family planning stuff.
Not ragging, just being clear
[QUOTE=Cheech1;2142330]I don't think its necessary to run new guys through the gauntlet, and of course Jackson's rules rule, but I would like to point out something that no one mentioned in this fracas. That one thing is that when a new guy reviews an established provider, and the provider responds to his review confirming that the new guy was a client, we then have significant confirmation that the new guy isn't a LE plant. I completely understand Admin's being pissed off about new guys getting ragged, but I (especially up here in Cleveland) would feel a lot more comfortable making a referral to a new guy if I knew he had seen a provider we can verify through the board as being real. With all due respect.
Cheech.[/QUOTE][BLUE]There is a million miles between "Hey this guy with two posts said XXXX, I smell bacon." EVERY FUCKING TIME somebody new shows up and not giving a referral to somebody you don't know. I'm not saying you gotta help them, I'm not saying you gotta spoon feed them, I ignore guys all the time down here on my account. All I'm saying is I'm gonna stop guys from making the forum so uncomfortable that new guys don't want to get involved.

Ragging on Newbies Notwithstanding.
It's a natural thing, this giving the new guys shit. Hell, for me at least, it started in the junior high boy's locker room. And continues to some extent to this day (no longer in the junior high boy's locker room, though. LOL.).
Yeah, it takes time for the senior members to trust and, as it's been said many times, hitting 6 months and X number posts ain't it.
But the deal is not only do we trust the intel but is this guy LEO? What's interesting is this affects providers as much as mongers. And, although some do respond to reviews and, in doing so, acknowledge the monger's legitimacy, many providers don't. Such responses would go a long way to verifying a monger is who he says he is, letting both mongers and providers know he is at least not LEO.
The rest will still take time.
I don't want to get too specific
[QUOTE=Cheech1;2143325]A2, I was under the impression that since this site is operated from ARG that good old uncle asshole couldn't get to you, the info on your servers, or those of us who enjoy meandering around in here. Now I might not be as internet savvy as I like to think, but why would you be worried about USA Law from over there? And by the way, I'm not trying to be a smart ass, I really want to know because its important to the way I operate.
Thanks,

If your domain ends in .com.ar it's an Argentine domain, .ru Russia ect. ect. Have you ever noticed what ours ends in?
Yes we will probably move it someday.
