One of the differences in Austin is that there is a small group of these 50 y/o Beavis & Butthead types who reinforce each other--almost certainly with malice and preplanned coordination. For whatever reason they have the time to swamp that board with voluminous trash, pushing any counter arguments into the background (i.e. 2nd or 3rd page).
The second part of the problem is it does seem that the mods there may not approve of it, but they do seem to condone it. Gang attacks can be reported but as per the example mentioned here, it often goes unaddressed. One particular thug keeps directly attacking/insulting people with impunity. The worst that happens seems to be he changes handles and that seems to wipe the slate clean of his past actions.
While frequent readers can sort out that some of these posters are not worth listening to, when post after post attacks someone the new and/or casual reader to that forum can't help but believe their trash just because of the volume. And for the ladies, that directly impacts their livelihood with zero consequences to the guilty parties.

It's what happens when you don't love life and be fulfilled in your youth, plenty of men happily married to very basic women who don't see escorts or don't pay for companionship.
Truth is this whole business is based on fantasy, most men will be over 40 and out of shape or low income as younger good looking guys don't need to pay for it.
So trying to limit trolls on a escort board is going to be tough because your tugging at the foundation of this hobby. You don't just exchange money for sex and not expect psychos or weirdos it's a part of the game and its risky.
