I'm getting to the bottom of this.
I like the thread. That should count for something.
I believe changing rules in this environment would/does work. I'm sure rules have been changed or modified since this site was put up. Of course the owners would have to do it. And of course they don't want to keep our "votes". But I'm sure they want to keep people using their site. It's kind of the same thing. If enough of us get together and ask for something to change and it's reasonable, I'm sure they would consider it. I'm not saying we should do this. It's just a point Originally Posted by SweetCara

Great job Whispers! Now you can add to your list of accomplishments that you had the most popular thread on ECCIE shut down - you're a one man destruction machine! I'm sure your popularity with the masses will soar now! Originally Posted by Louigi

Y'all got a bunch of over privileged pussy running freely over the Guidelines of the board and a MOD staff either Too Overworked because of the lady's antics or too compromised by the "favors" they receive to do the job they stepped up for.
If you want to blame someone, start with the hookers breaking the rules then go after the mods. Originally Posted by Chincho

Yeah. Don't blame the messenger.
But look at his motives and past axe grinding history with a Mod.
HEY! Ya think I could have raised the issue/asked the question if Mokoa was keeping it in line with the rules your local MOD Staff came up with?
Personally, I can't see how removing a short notice thread would do more good than just leaving it there....

You have ZERO issues if you deal WITH THE RULE BREAKERS..... THAT requires MODs that do the work they volunteered to do though.....
They not only break the rules but they take the issue back to their own cities and it seems that others may not want to deal with them any more than your local staff does.
It is really unfortunate that people's lives are being affected because of the choice of some. Whispers posted his original post about SNATCH infractions at 8:10 and in 2 hours, one of our main ways of communicating with clients was completely gone.
I know that many rules were broken there but show me a forum where they are not? Are we closing down all of them?

I think ladies would be harder on the ladies that broke the rules than any guy could be.
It may be time to give a modtard an ambassadorship. Originally Posted by Simon Riley

Not sure which would be easier at this point.The "value is displayed by the "view counts". If, as one local lady stated, 70-80% of SOME lady's business is generated from the SNATCH thread than there is a hell of a lot of value there right?
My thoughts on the SNATch thread? The right tool for the right job, it really doesn't harm any one to have a place where people can spam their availability every few hours. I don't use the tool myself as I have to plan out things a few days in advance not minutes. That said I see the value. Originally Posted by Bob McV

Then put me on ignore! I know... I know.... it's hard to do!This thread was NOT posted to make a case for locking the thread. It was a direct indictment of Mokoa, once again, not doing the job he volunteered to do.... A point I've been making repeatedly with examples of his inability to do so in a proper manner. One member, such as myself, should not be able to come along and time after time after time again point out the errors of a LONG sitting MOD and see him reverse himself over... and over.. and over again......
Whispers don't take my comments on your threAd as a follower or even semi-intererested in your opinions, just looking for the reason why a popular thread was closed. Taking away something wanted and used in San Antonio due to not having it in Austin is just sad. Giving the excuse someone else was the architect of the threads demise while you championed it's removal by agitating a Mod over perceived prior transgressions is really sad. I'm sad for you.
a) You are late to the party and like so many others you REACT without reading through everything..... The thread was already reopened....
b) Had Mokoa done his job none of this conversation or excitement would have occurred....
1) Had the thread been moderated no point could have been made.
2) Had Mokoa not taken the knee jerk reaction to my question as a reason to LOCK the thread none of the excitement would have occurred.
That is all... please continue...

If I have no appointments already set up, I use it as a daily, "I'm available!" type of ad. I try to follow the guidelines set and put only the info requested... I didn't see anything wrong with the other girl's postings on the snatch, but then again I wasn't really on there looking for other girls ads..
Yay for it being unlocked though. St. Chris... Originally Posted by Tracy Aine
