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

Unfortunately the implementation of this new section has come a bit too late but I am grateful for it. I know several members who basically said "fuk this" and no longer post. They got fed up with the noob insanity. They do read and they do share / offer advice via pm or monger mail. I'm in the process of contacting and informing a few of them of this new function. I really hope they'll return and again offer their valuable info.

I'll say this and it's my own personal opinion. If those that do contribute, yes that's SR's but many others too get fed up and quit posting, what is left? A bunch of noobs who don't know who to see but more importantly who to avoid be it a SW'er, BP, CLCE, or escorts. The learning curve can be long and expensive.

If you want to start a convo, fight, discussion, whatever here in the Thunderdome but your target wasn't nice enough to post here you do it like this;

1. Click on "Reply with Quote" on their original post, that will give you a dialog box that contains the members post, in this case it looked like this.

2. Highlight and copy the whole thing including the [quote/quote] boxes.

3. Close that window, in this case Gansett posted this in the Streetwalkers section, just close that or use the navigation buttons at the top to come here.

4. Click on "+Add Report" in the thread you want to post the quote and your reply in.

5. Copy in the quote and then write whatever you want.

If you do it this way then the "view original post" nav works and his quote will look like a quote. You can also use the multi-quote feature the same way, except then you click multi quote on all the posts you want to include than click +Add Report in the thread they are in, then continue from step two.

[QUOTE=Coz313;1879581]looking for info on place in warren RI,[/QUOTE]You must be referring to TransMart. When you go check for pronounced adams apple and remember to provide a much better review than the one you gave on Gina at Opulence, which really said nothing at all.

I am not a difficult guy and I do not respond to a lot of shit both about my reviews and about other things on here. I even suffered a demerit for "hard returns" while watching countless other members doing the exact same thing without comment, however this determination by A2, arbitrarily moving reports from other threads into the recently contrived Thunderdome, is just plain wrong, and here's why.

First, where the Christ did "Thunderdome" come from? Is this an A 2 creation for, what I am guessing, is argumentative shit between members? Essentially a thread dedicated to letting members fight it out between themselves? (I always enjoy a member with say 9 or 10 reviews beating up on someone with 7 or 8 reviews. Always entertaining). I guess you need a place for shit like that, but this thread has already become the purely arbitrary dumping ground at A 2's discretion. An example you ask?

In the last couple of days, I see on the Massage thread a posting for "Opulence" made by a brand new member as his first posting in the usual shill fashion: asking questions about the dump, implying additional services having been received and even adding a side note for the sister dump in Warren. Okay, none of this is new. There is nothing to be had there so they do this regularly to try to steer some traffic their way. I understand that. It's a free country after all. I read the bogus report and immediately post my usual warning that the place offers nothing at all, save your money, go elsewhere. However, this time, the report is removed from Massage, where it belonged and was placed arbitrarily in Thunderdome, where its purpose of being helpful to the community was completely lost because the comment hung there in the air, disassociated from the comment it referenced in Massage, and even worse, left the shill unchallenged implying legitimacy. Someone moved the comment from Massage to Thunderdome, and I have to presume it was A 2.

It is a bad policy to move posting around like that. There was nothing at all offensive about my posting and the purpose was to once again try to save members money from an obvious shill (1st posting, same as the last one). I would ask A 2 to "rethink" this policy and if there is no argument existing, and there was not, leave the original posting on the proper thread where it will actually do some good.

He very well may be, I don't know. If you don't like what he posts, then ignore him, report him, but the constant arguing on the Providence threads is over. I have received several PM's and emails from members thanking me for taking this step. Providence isn't the first city we have done this in and I'm pretty sure it won't be the last. Review threads are for reviews. If somebody posts something and your experience was different then post that, your experience, not an attack at the OP veiled as your experience.

And yes, it is completely at my discretion, that's part of being the Mod. Very high on the list of posts likely to be moved are Ad Hominem attacks as this one was.

I'd bet a month's salary that the "thank you's" were from lurkers and non-contributors that have never and will never bring anything to the boards. Besides the fact that 99% of the "fighting" is all due to the lurkers causing shit.

I realize that you are greatly overworked. I will do my best not to burden you further.

I'm not being a wise ass Hoss, I'm serious as a heart attack, you can say pretty much whatever the hell you want to them here. I'll do you a solid and not take that bet though, your assumption is incorrect.

Gentleman, I'm not trying to shame, punish, nor embarrass anybody with this thread. Check out The Octagon in Cincinnati, it was the proof of concept and it's proven to be popular. The other alternative is Honolulu, those guys aren't allowed to criticize or comment on each other at all. If they do it twice they get banned. You guys don't like it when I throw flags, then you don't like it when I give you a place where there aren't any flags.

I'm done talking about it, I'm going to continue to move posts for another couple of days and then I'm just going to start tagging them.

I think this was a great idea. I stick to the SC thread for the most part so I don't see a lot of the arguments, but I like to see a good flame war every once in a while and the arguments were shitting up the threads. At least here its dedicated to issues and the gloves are off.

Admin 2 if I have grown tired of somebodies whinning can I tell them so here? Some of us do not post as much as we would like because we are a bit sick of the not enough, can't be trusted and I am a better monger then you lectures. Granted I have tapped a lot less SWs than some others here but I still try to pass on interesting stuff. I have also made a few contacts and traded some great information. I really enjoy what I learn here but the list really does include more than five very special people.

Here's an example from a PM I just sent a guy in case you need inspiration. This guy had threatened to post screen shots of the site all over the web because I wouldn't do what he wanted me to do. (I removed the name, cause you know, PM's are private.)

[quote]Sure, thanks for the free advertising. Hell we pay people to do that. See if you can't hit us hard on TER.

We make a shit ton of money doing this, it's not against the law either where we live or where our servers are.

In case you missed it the first time, go fuck yourself again, and again, and again, and again. Hell fuck yourself stupid douchebag. Then please, go fuck yourself some more.

You need anymore? You're a customer on a free site, we don't have to be nice to you unless you're paying. Up until that point it's your job to act like a guest. Which you did all the way up to when you said this "Obviously you guys that run this site are a bunch of arrogant assholes."

So please, just one more time, stick your dick up your own ass and go fuck yourself.[/QUOTE]You can say THAT to anybody here. Even me if I'm not posting in blue ink.

No threats of actual violence, no revealing personal info of another person, nothing about people under our minimum age, no arrest reports, no STD allegations, no racially derogatory language.

But you can call them a stupid fucking cocksucking douchebag if you want. You can call them a fuckwad, fucktard, fuckface, canker faced fucking bastard if you want. Be creative, please. The only thing you can't call them is a "Power mad fucking nazi faggot that lives in his mom's basement" because that apparently is reserved for me by the douchebags that send me PM's. Please be creative with your insults and arguments.

I prefer that you leave family out, but saying a guys sisters are hookers has pretty much been accepted as an acceptable insult for quite sometime now. However; If it turns out his sister has passed away or is a nun, you must proffer a sincere apology.

First off I want to say that you A2 are a huge fucktard. While I do understand what the true purpose of this forum is (sheer volume of members). More clicks on banners means more $$ in the pockets of ownership and management. I have no problem with that now as its all about the dollar and I get it. Just don't use your retarded argument that your trying to be fair and keep the peace as your main concern, it's getting as many members as possible and new members (inexperienced members) are more apt to click on all your banners then senior members so in essence its all the newbies that are bringing in the dinero!

Hopefully I am within the rules of this thread as my understanding of the "Thunderdome" is to air our arguments, complaints and just plain to *****. Even if it is towards the powers of the forum.

I have been a member (2 different names) as long or longer then you. 95% of everything I ever posted was helpful, good information to others without ever demanding or attacking anyone. I have never seen such an increase in USELESS nothing posts since I have been a member here. 8 out of 10 posts are members asking for info to be handed to them without ever giving anything. I have no problem with newbies as long as they are willing to put a little effort into this "hobby"! I have shared with many "newbies" as long as they showed some form of good faith and willingness to be a sharing member. 90% of these new ones are 1-2 post wonders who demand / ask for info to be handed to them, then they disappear. I do read this forum and what I am seeing is maybe one post out of 20 of any substance.

Hey. Great job, you got the numbers WAYYYYY up! But who the fuck wants to waste all day reading through hundreds of "I want","Who is" or "Give me" posts.

Best wishes and please go fuck yourself. BTW. Just my opinion which is meaningless. Back into exile for me.

Muff

So C & P'ing a pm from a seemingly delusional member is fair game as long as he's not identified by name?
