But you know that thing was fucked up from word go. The mods couldn't admit it was another ad section. The girls couldn't understand how it wasn't an ad section. And the guys just didnt know what the fuck to think of it.Trey, board rules have only 2 forums providers can post ads in. In the cancellation thread, providers kept trying to post time,place,price and everything else for an ad. Our thread rules did not allow all the components to make it an ad. But when you had providers posting 3 times a day where they had cancellations., it became a short notice AD. Our thread was run as a cancellation thread. It was not utilized as one by the providers posted.

If you go back and look at the thread there mainly was only one mod that moderated it. That wasn't the problem Originally Posted by Eccie AddictDED's a good guy and tried to moderate it fairly, but as Pistolero said, there were other mods involved, and anytime you have more than one cook in a kitchen, the recipe gets convoluted. Toward the end it became difficult to figure out what would and wouldn't fly. Some things were let go, yet a few posts later the same exact things would be considered a violation. I have to agree with Trey that some girls just didn't get it or didn't want to and abused it, heavy sigh, but others understood its value and that's why they kept posting. I usually only used it once a week, if that, but I didn't hesitate if I had more than one cancellation to post. I could go into the specifics and argue more, but why bother? The mods have decreed that there won't be another one, so the issue is dead. Don't see how there could be a resurrection.
It was an experiment that failed. Hard to understand how other cities seem to make it work but we can't, but that's the way it goes, and as the Pistol mentioned, not like the other short notice threads don't have problems. Probably best that providers just concentrate on making the best use of the advertising options ECCIE currently has in place.Well in

Im sure that if it is important to them they will tell you how to contact them again so that they can take advantage of your charms. Also you handled yourself admirably with the people challenging your rates. There is a certain cadre here that constantly try to enter into a battle of wits over rates but they are unarmed.
What if providers were allowed to "reply" to their own ad threads without it bumping their ad to the top? Seems like the most sensible way to update availability and not easily taken advantage of.
