Big boy/girl Underoos

Now, looking at mojojo's comment (in blue) above....allowing "the most seasoned members" to get away with even "the most simple mistake" is not being impartial to the community as a whole.

So, we do not necessarily penalize an older member for screwing up. We do not necessarily penalize a new member for screwing up. There has never been, either here or any other board, an instance where all factors are the same. Every word has to be examined to determine the circumstances.

It can usually be figured out very easily if it is a mistake or not. And guess what, SOMETIMES it is. So we would possibly not penalize in that case.

The mod gig does not come with a cookie cutter. And I can guarantee you would not like it if it did. This would be a VERY boring place, in every forum.

I would speculate that the "seasoned" posters make fewer mistakes that get overlooked than the "unseasoned?" posters.........whale wars is a perfect example of that.

While some posters went over the line to the degree that points may have been warrented, the necessary extension of that would have caused some whales to get banned........thanckfully, no whales were harmed in the creation of Whale Wars......a feat I am very proud of......ijs.

Mistakes aren't what my concern is about. I'm concerned about is the intentional, repeated attacks on certain members of the board, apparently based on a combination of their body type and the fact that they dare to be nearly as outspoken as those who keep attacking them.

So...I guess your MO is to continue on with this until you get the exact answer you're looking for from the mods...

Let me know how that works out for you...

Maybe if I go to some social events and meet some of the whales.......I could get them to give me blowjobs.....if they expect compensation afterwards, I could remind them that pay-for-play is not allowed at socials......but, I could offer to create a Top 10 FSW threAD and help them in their marketing......because, I am one of the good guys.....there would be piece on the SHMB again, and everyone would get along........like before......ijs.

Just to clear this part up, The great white frozen wasteland where I am located is south of I-20 in West Texas. And this is the first time I have ever written youse, ya'll.

Damn, I am undone in my effort to weasel free and discounted blowjobs from hooktards on a SHMB........maybe if I tried the BP method...........

I'm still waiting on the new rules we're getting...oh wait...

I know, I know. Never engage in a battle of wits with the unarmed.

We are consistant......you and I.......if you don't mind, neither do I......the truth shall set us free.......ijs.

In another thread, one of our hardworking mods made a statement that I want to respond to, but I don't want to hijack the thread.



JaD, with all due respect:

I'll start by saying I don't like bullies. And believe that Eccie encourages bullies.

If you maintain an environment where antisocial behavior is not only tolerated but encouraged, you can expect people to be upset by it, and you can expect the situation to continue to deteriorate to the point where just about every thread, no matter how innocently or usefully it starts, degrades into this. Eccie has set the bar extremely low in terms of what is considered civil behavior, and a few noisy misogynists have turned Eccie into their private playground because of it.

I believe that the most effective way address the problem you described is to set standards for civil behavior, and enforce them. Meaningful standards, not ones where troublemakers can slide by on technicalities while still offending and insulting members on a regular basis. That's what we have now, and when favored members are seen playing their inane "ooh, look how smart I am, I got away with it" games, others feel justified in their own bad behavior.

It's a spiral to the bottom.

I hear repeated complaints that there aren't enough attractive new providers on Eccie. As it sits now, I can't imagine why a provider would want to participate in the discussions on Eccie. There are guys whose goal is to trap a provider into saying something that could be damaging to her business. It's as if these guys have forgotten that the hobby is, for guys, based on illusion. And that women are here not because you're charming and clever,

Unfortunately, what we have now is a group of wannabe bad boys pissing all over the board, insulting providers based on physical characteristics, and attacking providers who attempt to start threads (the whole inane "threAD" stuff.) Eccie has created at least two places in the Houston section for them to engage in their wankery (one that is for men only and one that is coed) and yet it spills out here on a regular basis.

Not surprisingly, the guys who do this are often the ones who share the least in terms of actual hobby information.

(To these guys: I get it. You need reinforcement from the group that you're smarter than providers. You need reinforcement from the group that you don't find fat girls attractive. You crave the reputation that you only see gorgeous providers. You don't like when certain providers do precisely what you do - draw attention to themselves. You like when your "friends" here pat you on the back for appearing to outsmart someone who very well may have dropped out of high school because of a tough childhood, when in fact she's probably holding back because if she puts you firmly in your place it could cost her business.)

And I find it rather disingenuous that as a moderator you choose to reprimand those who get fed up with the abusive environment, rather than the ones who set the tone. I watch much of the back-and-forth, and I'm reminded of patient preschool teachers (the providers) dealing with unruly children who are flinging their poop around and laughing about it.

"Hypocrisy" is bad. But being offensive is good?

I had been under the impression that Eccie was set up to be a place where escorts and clients can exchange information about the hobby, to the mutual benefit of all. But what we have now is a noisy portion of the community who gets their kicks by taking potshots at certain providers, and hide behind the label of "entertainment", cheered on by followers who don't have the balls to stand up for what's right.

It no doubt generates a lot of page hits - many of these guys don't have an outside life judging from how often they're posting. But I wonder if it actually increases the number of unique visitors to the site, and that is the most important metric of a site's popularity. The core of regular posters in Houston doesn't seem to be growing significantly.

So if Eccie's goal is to have a small group of guys circle jerking each other about how they're really smart guys who don't like fat girls, date only hot providers, and click endlessly on each others' posts, you've got it.

But do you really want that? Originally Posted by blowpop

But back to Eccie. From Eccie's General Conduct Guidelines

#3 - Disrespect to others, IN GENERAL, will be considered an item of low tolerance, especially when posting in our coed forums.

#4 - Blatant insults or hostility toward another member will be met with staff intervention. This applies to using our coed forums for name calling, personal attacks, or vulgar slang terms to describe fellow members.

Humor is wonderful. But humor that is disrespectful of fellow members isn't. For those who need an environment where they can insult everyone, we have the Spider Hole here, and places like YMWV.net, which coincidentally is where much of the material originated that some of the more prolific posters here repeatedly use.
