What does a mod do?

I find it sad when grown men complain about being bullied, especially on website about hookers.

I've been made fun of, called some names, etc etc. I don't care. I give it right back. I see it as all in fun. This is a hobby. Hobbies are supposed to be fun.
Some people want this site to be dead again. I have no doubt it will be. A lot of people wanted "the pack" gone from indys so they can have intelligent discussions about the hobby. I've yet to see one.

If you don't like it, don't read it. Better yet don't respond to it.

Some folks need some thicker skin. Originally Posted by FFH

I'm talking about daily coordinated unprovoked attacks on people. Ya I've been a target but it's not just me. I do have a thick skin. At one point I said "fuck it" and just ignored the clusterfuck that the site had become. Then I logged on one day to find that the petty bullying had escalated to outing. Sorry but that's not something that I'm prepared to overlook. I'm not going to let a board that I've belonged to for over a decade be taken over by haters because I'm worried that someone is going to call me a baby (I joined ASPD in 2002. took some time off hence my 2010 join date). This site isn't supposed to be about insults or attacks. It's about the hobby. Folks should just stick to that. I appreciate the fact that the mods are here to help folks follow the guidelines

As far as who has or lacks a "life" it seems self-evident who is who. Do the guys that have nothing better to do than over-post on here day after day have a life? How about the guys that can't go a day without attacking or insulting someone...do they have a life? Do the guys that come on here for friends have a life or do they need to get one?

My main question is why all the hostility? Are people coming over from indys to sabotage ECCIE because the powers that be over there don't like the competition? What makes everyone so angry that they have to attack people? Why drag the petty bullshit and politics from that site over here. I honestly don't get it. Either way I'm glad the mods are here to keep it under control.

I see no problems with the mods or this site. There are a bunch of type A personalities around here. They are bound to clash........ So what??????????

I also don't get all the talk about INDYS. Not that I don't want to hear updates on the legal issues over there. That's news I want to hear but I'm a member of both boards and I know they are not talking about ECCIE over there. Sounds to me like a lot of bitter banned members........ maybe not but it does come off that way.

I also find it funny that Dames is complaining about the butt buddies. I think Dames4U is the one who created the butt buddies.

Well we disagree again Dames4U........
I started moderating on Eraps in Feb of 2010. Then worked on Eraps and Eccie until Eraps closed.

In that time, I have reversed points given a total of twice. Once in Houston on Eccie and once in Pgh .

Neither time were they issued by "mistake" as you called it. The persons affected sent me a PM, discussed the reason, and I reversed myself. Their reasons were sound and I reconsidered.

I do not issue points lightly. There is sound reasoning where someone violated the guidelines before they are issued. Originally Posted by Pistolero

You admitted privately it was an error on your part. I guess error and mistake have two different meanings in your book.

Whatever, I get the point.
as I have said time and again, Providers are NOT encouraged to post here.
You proved me right.

Dames4u,

Granted I'm in a different position than you being that I'm a hobbyist and you are an agency, but really... who gives a shit what half the idiots on this site think. They want to gang up on someone, especially someone like you, you're an easy target. You have hot girls but you're somewhat prickly and have a vouching system that many consider to be borderline obscenely intrusive. I get that and agree 100% with them in their belief that your vouching system is overly intrusive. My difference with many is I respect that you have the right and absolute obligation to conduct your business in any way you deem necessary and I show my difference in opinion with you by simply not seeking out your girls, end of story. I don't get how other don't do the same. Submit to your vouch system or you don't get to see your girls. Pretty simple calculus if you ask me. Choice is rather simple.

Some people live their lifes in their own little asylum, conjuring up make believe chaos, goblins, packs and bullies. It's the internet, so everything's make believe. There are no goblins or bullies. Some even think this is the Big Leagues, like our friends from Texas. What ever it is to you, that's what it is. Who is anybody else to tell you different. I really can't put my finger on it, but I swear I've been bullied lately. I didn't quiver, I didn't run to the mods. Heck, I even think I made a few new butt buddies out of the deal. What a terrifying prospect that is.

Libing and working in Houston during this economic recession has kepot me way too busy with my company doing a record amount of business with no losers this year. Normally business slows down this time of year but not this year. As a result I have been working a lot and have not had enough time to adequately do my job here.
It is unfortunate that no qualified person from the area will step up and take on this thankless job.

A large number of you are like little democrats that come in and fuck it up for everyone else. Some of you are more than willing to dish it out but when it comes to taking it you pound the RTM like you were jacking off or something. Then you have the troll feeders that bait the trolls instead of ignoring them as if what they have to say on a stupid ass hooker board means something. Then you have the trolls that bait the rest of you into a stupid ass back and forth about who is getting their fudge packed and who is sucking on the stripper pole.

Oh you have to do something mods, this site will turn to shit because you do not do something. So and so called so and so a name he should be banned mod why don't you do something.....wah wah wah. I got points I did not deserve and now I am butt hurt and cant let it go even though it was fixed. Fuck, If see one more post that refers to that I will pooint you myself.

You people need to get over yourselves. You take this shit way too serious. I fully understand that for hookers this is their business and for the Johns that it is their hobby. The idea is to make this a place where the exchange of information in order to improve the experience for everyone is the goal. While this is going on we should be able to have fun and kid around and not be worrying over heavy handed mods dishing out points and banning people.

It is up to the posters that post here to make this place what it is and not the mods. It is not my forum and it is not Pistoleros forum. It is your forum. We are only here to assist in keeping it somewhere on the same road. If you do not like the posting style of a person, place them on ignore and you will not see what they post. There is no requirement that you must defend yourself on a silly hooker message board.

I work a full time job and I have a life that is not related to the hobby. I do not live on this board.
To pound the RTM button over and over again does not mean that I can get to the issue any faster or that I am ignoring the report. It may take many hours before I am in a position to deal with your stupid ass problems that are mostly in your minds. I dont live in your area so I dont get any free pussy or favors from anybody there and wouldn't take it if I did. I have no ego trip to inflate and could give a fuck about any perceived power that a mod has.

My preference is to not censor anybody because I believe that you get to see the true character of those that post shit. Except for the few nuclear rules like outing which is not tolerated at all and can be confirmed by those that have been on or are still on vacation.

As my colleague has stated, we do not advertize disciplinary actions and the only ones that know are the offender and staff. That will not change.

Now, since it appears that some think we do not do our jobs, I do not want to hear any bitching when Pistolero issues you points during the day and when I get on at night or in the morning and decide that what I read is point worthy and issue points that you already got your points. I will tell you I am just doing my job and will not for any reason remove them. But that's not fair 2Dogs. I am just doing my job.

The back and forth can be a bit dramatic for a bunch of adults. I just don't see why everyone gets so worked up over this shit. I like the real info that's buried in the bullshit but you gotta dig to find it.

In all seriousness that was one hell of a post filled with an abundance of blatant truth. It should be a sticky. In fact I'm stealing a quote from it for my sig line.
