Traveling Gentleman is............

Yeah basically this, except in order for a provider to have an enforceable no-review policy she cannot advertise ANYWHERE on the Internet not just Eccie. If it is determined that the girl still has, for instance, a p411 or TER account the policy is null and void.

(...)




It is clearly stated in the Forum Guidelines. #29 specifically. The portion regarding advertising anywhere not just Eccie has been a further clarification to the policy.


#29 - Verified Providers who use the Showcase feature or advertise in our forums are not entitled to a no-review policy. Should circumstances arise which require or prompt you to request a no-review policy on ECCIE, please understand that enforcement of this policy also results in revoking of your showcase or ad-posting privileges. Ladies who have chosen a no-review policy on ECCIE may still post and create threads in any of the non-advertising forums on the board and will still have access to the girls-only areas of the board..

EDIT: I can understand the rationale behind it, though... Otherwise, a girl that only advertises on BP would, arguably, have protection under a no review policy, etc. Then ECCIE would not be an information exchange board, but more like a "members only" review board. Either way, I think the GL should be clearer...

Over time many of the guidelines have received further clarification on the finer points but they have not received a public revision. My belief is that it's because these are largely edge cases which arise only infrequently and the guidelines try to be as succinct as possible even if they don't tell the entire story. That's just my opinion though, I have no real basis for it.
^ I edited my comment. It makes sense. Only thing is, a lady who chooses to have a no-review policy (for whatever reason) could not possibly know that add-on exists because it is not there. That's what I meant by someone not being able to imply more from the GL.

Valid point. When they do request a no-review policy they are informed of the conditions at that time. It's really such an infrequent thing though that it's almost academic.

Like I said, there isnt currently a single provider in Houston with an enforceable no-review policy.

Easy, most people don't know the rules so when a girl tells them they're not allowed to write a review or that she has a no review policy they don't question it any further than that.

All I am saying is that claiming you have one doesn't make it so. Originally Posted by SpiceItUp

.. some won't even see someone who even just posts on Eccie.
#17 - "Cyber Stalking" is a term that refers to the act of following another member around online. This may include persistent PMing of the other party, repeated ISOs about the other party, or excessive bumping of reviews or posting in threads about the other individual, whether it be positive or negative information posted. In any of these cases, whether staff deems that the behavior has crossed the line into cyber-stalking, or the "stalked" party complains to staff about the alleged behavior, staff will take the necessary steps to make it stop. Please avoid becoming involved in this type of conduct

Well at least you have the balls to admit to rule violations. Originally Posted by oilfieldscum

you obviously don't know DM that well if you think she considers herself a HDH. I've never got that vibe from her. And no I'm not a WK, Dorthy can take care of herself, and I might catch a wild throat punch trying to fight her fight.

I was just pointing out how readily you admit to bring a bully, and an ass, but claim not having violated the guidelines. The error was in your definition of the violation.

And if you want to know if you're a cyber stalker or not go back and look at your 71 posts on this SHMB and see how many of them are about a particular member. Originally Posted by oilfieldscum

Besides since you're quoting the rules (which you obviously don't know how they're applied) and playing like you're a moderator, why would I tell you anything. Perhaps you should save your patronizing attitude for someone who will buy into it.
Why isn't the "ANYWHERE" clarification not written into the rules? Originally Posted by LexusLover

Condensed: Cyberstalking = Persistant. Repeated. Excessive.


Yup, I think that covers it.

One must actually have proof, which includes evidence by the person who is accused posts, and clearly laid out first. Simple deduction and conjecture is not enough.
People like to use the term 'stalker' due to the negative connotation or negative implication.

It's one thing for someone to say I'm an asshole or I'm a cyber bully and some of the ladies may feel one way, or may not care at all, however when the term stalker is used (in most context) the implication is that some guy is physically stalking or physically harassing any given person. This could scare most ladies away from seeing me or anybody else who is mentioned by the term stalker or any variation of the word.

I've seen some real stalkers here so I don't thinck you are one, yet, but what i thinck of the subject is of no relevance. It depends on what the person on the receiving end and staff thinks. Management has already set forth with they consider cyber-stalking to be.
