I like reading how some people tell others they should follow the rules when they pick and choose which rules to follow in life. But, life is different on a SHMB. It's not like driving without a license or not paying your fines. Or accepting money for "time and companionship only". I am sure that none of you have ever exceeded the speed limit or failed to come to a complete stop at a stop sign. I could get into other aspects of life where almost all have failed to "follow the rules" but this threAD isn't the place to argue about your innocence or guilt.
There are many of you that would readily limit who could or should be allowed to, not just post, but be a member here. Some of you would rather this be an all male site with no women or wanna be women allowed. There are some that openly bash a provider that advertises bbfs but probably have seen a number of ladies that do it but do not advertise it. Which is worse? that was a rhetorical question for those of you that thinck you should answer the query.
Should everybody follow the guidelines to the best of their ability,? Yes they should but that does not mean they will. To thinck that the site has moderators watching for every infraction 24/7 is a little on the OCD side of things. This is a SHMB and not a totalitarian community where everybody is watched all of the time in order to hand out punishment at ever little misstep along the way.
I do find it interesting how so many people bitch and complain about something they get for free. Originally Posted by The2Dogs

I appreciate the works of mods and admin, that providers don't have to pay for line advertising, and the continual exchange of information.
Infractions are going to happens. It's a fact of life in every walk.
What any provider advertises or how the board operates isn't in any individual's purview, nor should it be. That's up to the owner/investors. However, it takes a group working together to make a successful community, and we all need to be involved. Watching and pointing out matters that have residual implications can be helpful to ECCIE as a whole.
My problem was that Renee's posts were repeatedly reported but remained up, she didn't change her behavior and continued to violate, her attitude was, "Oh, well," and that provoked a large inequality when related to other providers. Matter addressed, and thank you!
As I said earlier, gosh knows I've made some stupid mistakes, but I learned from them and don't repeat them. That's the best most of can do. However, when someone gives every indication that they knew the rules but broke them intentionally with NO remorse and will PERSIST in doing so, that's frustrating and ire arousing. I'd rather be aroused in other ways.
