This age verification requirement is a major shift for the site and something new, and somewhat cumbersome at this point, to deal with. A lot of discussion has gone on and continues to go on. The particular situation in this area was an immediate need, hence the thread you are questioning.
I have no argument with you in regards to the sites need to protect itself but that's a decision for the owners to make in to be passed down to the membership. Over the years we've seen actions taken by MODs on multiple occasions where they overstepped their boundaries.
considering their post is 5 days old and it's not a movement that's been passed down by any other mods in any other forums that I've been able to see then I think the questions are relevant to be brought up publicly.
that made absolutely no statements that are derogatory or disrespectful. I'm simply remember asking a question about something I don't understand. Originally Posted by Whispers

It's pretty obvious what the rule was about, given recent events, (no knowledge of immediate issues is south texas), but that isn't sensational enough to drive views and doesn't insinuate bad will on the part of admins and mods... Or some conspiracy...
You were really were trolling for a scandal where there was none, making insinuations about censorship, rogue mods, protecting verified Providers, etc, instead of waiting respectfully for an explanation. Just because you've been around 15 years and you're aware of past mod indiscretions, doesn't mean every decision is suspect and simply the fact that you wouldn't give admin/owners the benefit of the doubt here and just see the horse with stripes as a zebra... shows you're not much interested in the truth...
It also does not mean that this NOT a situation of jumping the gun or that the way they have stated it is what the owners MAY put in place. The time and effort Chica has put into responding could just as easily been put into a Boardwide Announcement that would answer questions and allow for a wider response and feedback from the membership.
Throw out unfounded accusations and then when you get an explanation (thx Chica), you can't even apologize or acknowledge the reasons given.... That's all you have to say to his entire explanation?? Just pick the only part you have any smidge of a retort and leave a snarky reply? Dude, at least thank him for responding to you. Originally Posted by Netx9

I'm sure the owners will comment if and when they feel it necessary or appropriate.
When it is placed as a Boardwide Guideline I will direct comments towards the owners if I have questions. At the moment, one segment of ECCIE has an edict in place that can cost guys points. Originally Posted by Whispers

reversed Mods and Admins many times over the years.

People visiting the area from other cities may never even READ the edict... They may simply post and then get slapped.

I've kept the personal out of it.... You can't, it seems. As you've mentioned many times, this is a free exchange of ideas... I'm doing no more than you... Asking questions, questioning motives... And I have no issues with asking questions... It's how You do it, that polarizes others, antagonizes others... So much so that the atmosphere you created led in part to your 'target' getting outed publicly. It's your means I question, not the ends. Is it somehow not cool to ask questions of you and your motives? Speaking of following... Didn't you and a few of your sycophants 'follow' me to my home state forums just because I had the temerity to question you?
My questions are relative to the board. To all members. You are here simply on your own personal agenda of following me around to question anything I post because your whore girlfriend was taken to task in the San Antonio Forums and has become Persona non Grata as a result of the issues that surround her.
I posted several questions about this.

So I see no reason to NOT ask questions or raise points for discussion.

I respect the position a MOD and Admin is in and I show them respect in the manner in which I communicate with them. I do NOT feel that any of them are infallible and deserving of blind faith and loyalty. Originally Posted by Whispers
