I think sometimes we shouldn't make such a big deal about it and simply warn new ladies when we see something like this occurring. The Mods hands are obviously tied. Now that this guy's handles have been compromised, he simply will start the process all over until someone notices that he is back in our midst once again. We make it too easy for those who practice malice here. Had nothing been said in the public forum, then at least he might have thought his handle had not been compromised. Back Channels are a great thing indeed. Alert Mods privately so they can watch whatever handle is thought to be being used by those we would prefer not be amongst us. Sometimes these threads simply make it harder for the staff to do their jobs.......ya know?
Ignore the a**hats and go out and see your favorite lady....

Given the specific nature of the allegations against FWOG before, and even after, his banning, this is a big deal. I consider blackmail of providers, which we know he has done, very serious. I'd say using threats to get bareback and free sessions a pretty big deal. Stealing the raffle proceeds, which he did, is a pretty big deal. And if allegations of threatening to out providers, members and even mods has happened, as alleged, it's a pretty big deal. So, no, we should not just ignore it if there is reason to believe he is in any way, shape or form using this forum.
Secondly, no, the mods hands are not tied. This is not a court of law with the accused entitled to Constitutional protection, it's a web forum. They have the right to kick anyone, at any time, for any reason. Frankly most forums kick people for a hell of a lot less than what FWOG was doing and would definitely be pushing someone who appears to be the same despicable person to prove they are not one in the same out of concern for the safety of the members. They choose not to act, which is also their right. But that is a choice, not something they are forced to do.
Third, without sharing private information, these issues were raised in back channels, with essentially no response. Had they not been made public many ladies would not know to be cautious of this person. This type of thing needs to be discussed openly and clearly and then the ladies can make their own decision as to whether or not they want to take the chance. A lot of ladies are not extremely active and do not have friends looking out for them.
Most members here know I am far from a white knight thinking I'm rescuing the fair maiden. But this situation has the potential to be very dangerous.
