sounds like he was connected to our former mod there (was that Horn I Dog? I can't remember).
Toyz you brought up great points and Homer really dropped some truth bombs in his post, which of course got him points.
While Ranch really got in over his head, even if he is retired as a mod, this will always be an ongoing problem here or on any "Provider" site. like Toyz was saying, power corrupts absolutely and pussy is one of the greatest perks of all time. There are also systems in place that are far more entrenched than any of us realize (at least beyond my scope), and ready to take advantage of whoever is in power. you know, just like politics.
Even though Ranch definitely crossed the line, tbh, he seems like the type of middle management guy that gets busted while the real power players keep on rolling. Same thing happens in government. Sort of what Homer alluded to earlier. I guess like anything, it's really about how far one wants to go down the rabbit hole.... Originally Posted by NewWave

Since it was a mod it should probably should have been handled in the back ground. Seeing as how Ranch is still a mod that means the owners maybe don't think it's as bad as you say which means your post was probably less truthful then mine and probably had some extra added to beef up the drama. Do you have any doubts about anything I posted?
So to sum up, mine was more honest and I still don't see where there was any disrespect. I did a shout out, was that where it was out, that was a joke, true but still a joke. You openly on the board called out a mod. I got points for disrepect to staff and you got a pat on the back and a good job buddy.
The problem with subjective rules is that they fall down to the human element and the human element is inherently flawed. This goes back to my post about fair board moderation. It might not be as bad as favors for sex but it is still a flaw and inconsistencies are every where. Originally Posted by homer13

#3 - Disrespect to others, IN GENERAL, will be considered an item of low tolerance, especially when posting in our coed forums. Follow the Golden Rule and treat others as you wish to be treated yourself. This applies to fellow members as well as staff. We do not require that you have respect for us, but we do require that you treat us respectfully in the public forums. If you feel the need to vent, gripe, or blow off some steam regarding a staff member's action or decision, we ask that you keep it private. Email, RTM, or the PM system would be the appropriate avenue to take in such cases. In cases where you would like to request additional clarity about a staff decision, you are free to pursue an answer in either a public forum or private means of communication. If handled publicly, post your inquiry in a respectful manner.Seemed straightforward to me, but I am regularly doing janitorial work here.
My question remains, if this was an Eccie issue then why are you handling it. Should it not be handled by the mods and owners/ admins.I don't think people think you and I are cool..... I think there are those that think I am cool and those that think you are cool..... But I don't think our circles intersect much outside of possibly scoring the same chick on occasion.
Why would you suggest that a the site is run by a lot of corrupt Mods and then suggest that they should police there own?
I've always been under the impression that members have not only the right but the responsibility to speak out on things that affect them. If done is a respectful manner I've seen the owners of this board respond.
As to why they would let me post this? Actually to NOT let me post it would probably be seen as an attempt by corrupt mods to cover up for one of their own wouldn't it?
In reality here Homer. You typically take the opposite position to what I take on most matters.
I understand that you wouldn't be pointed because it was discussed prior and permission given. I take back your deserving points, I have been told by mods here in austin we are not allowed to publicly question them and if we do are subject to points.
If you were told that in exactly those words Homer I would RTM it fo all mods to see and email it to St. Chris and T-Bone.
You say you made an assumption about my post. It's post 61, there are not any expletives or anything point worthy.
Well.... Perhaps alluding to the owners as Pimps and that the place is run by crooked Mods they felt you should be pointed. I can tell you as I would any member over the years that once you go beyond about 15 points I would suspect you are getting on their nerves and are really simply fedup with you and where another guy that never causes any grief might catch a break or a warning, you are going to catch the points.
As Space said.... Appeal them if you want... Maybe the "Pimps" that own the site feel differently about how you refer to them...
I could post 20 things here from yesterday that we're a lot more offensive and insulting that got neither points or probably any warnings. I pointed out some truths, I pointed out that the board is ridden with corruption and ladies represented by someone. Then I shouted out to owners. Where's the disrespect? I can't even get a pm response from the mod who pointed me to clarify, just a snide response telling me to appeal if I want to the owner I called out which I have done. I was pointed for disrespect to staff. I have no idea who that's referring to. Was it saying there are corrupt mods, there are corrupt mods, a new one get outed regularly.
My question for you remains why did a non Eccie staff member need to handle an Eccie situation?
Why is it an ECCIE situation and not a situation the membership should be aware of? Honestly tell me how you would react and what you would have said of Ranch simply disappeared and later this story leaked out.... Keep in mind that it is Board Policy NOT to discuss disciplinary actions taken with the membership. I don't know the answer to your question. A stab in the dark from me is that they might want all the Mods to see that they are not above being called out when the facts support is and the membership to see that the playing field is equal and Mods will not be afforded any special protection when they fuck up.
The fact that he is a MOD is just a part of it. He is also a Member like you or I. Members get called out for bullshit reviews or underhanded things everyday. Most of what he has done, ANY member could have or may currently be doing.....
At the end of the day. Ranchhand's peers and the Owners will decide his fate as a MOD. There should also be a BAN in my opinion for some period of time. Any member caught accessing another member's account gets a ban of some sort.
On top of whatever the Owners/Admin decide...... there is the membership at large who will always look at and question in their minds anything Ranchhand has to say. Which is as it should be.
Is it an ego thing or are you more associated with Eccie then we thought?
Just a member like you Homer. Ego? I hoped Ranch would resign and guest and that I would not have to post. Why me? Well..... There are many examples over the years on more than one board where members turned to me with something they thought should be posted. Not everyone around here has the thick skin or devil may care attitude that you or I have. I've openly challenged other members, Mods, Admins and Owners in the past..... done so in a manner that is respectful...... and been able to get a point across..... Several years ago I was approached and asked if I wanted to become a Mod.... I've always felt that becoming a Mod would cut me out of some of the information flow that comes my way and I prefer to stay plugged in. A lot of people ARE concerned for bringing something to a MOD. There have been many times when a member HAS sent something to MOD and "copied" me on it. I think I've earned a reputation over the years of making sure that any kind of unfairness or problems that I am aware of get handled in some manner and that people are aware of it.... Maybe people see me as some sort of community watchdog because it has been guys and gals alike....
And as you rip pimps, how does that face in the mirror look? There are all kinds of pimps, I'm guessing you don't think they are all bad.
You don't need to guess Homer... Read what I've wrote.... I don't have the problem with Pimps that some guys have..... I'm sure I've seen a hundred plus girls of the years that were "pimped" by some guys standards.... I never became aware of it during my time with the lady so I could care less.... I've said for years that we should let a woman run her business the way she chooses... whether she choose a pimp, a manager or an Agency... or goes Indy....
I am not insensitive to a situation where a woman might be coerced or forced and would never have anything to do with her and would probably tell people about it.
No where in anything I've written here do I "rip pimps". You are reading into things what you want in order to make the point that I am known to hook guys up with girls....
I DO at times try to get a lady to satisfy my own urges....
If a lady calls and ASKS me for some sort of help and I am not interested I ask her if she wants to meet someone like me and if she does I let guys know there is a friend in need and put them in touch with one another.
If a guy calls and asks if I know a lady that might be available I let him know who I might think he can find and where....
I take no money.... I do not run ads with any regularity..... I am not actively trying to convince any lady to go make money using her body....
If you want to brand me a pimp for that OK.
This isn't a dig in any way. I think most people here know you and I are cool. These are just questions that need to be asked. You have your cross to bear and I have mine. Originally Posted by homer13

Since you can post this can you return my pm please with clarification. I want to be an upstanding citizen and make sure I don't repeat what ever violation you think I did.
Seemed straightforward to me, but I am regularly doing janitorial work here.

Don't bother correcting me... I know what you meant. But I have no beef with you. I do think though that you will take the opposite of just about any topic I do simply to try and discredit me in some way.
As this winds down I'll be back to life away from ECCIE I think. I've looked around for a few days now and really do not see a lot that interests me.... Even the "entertainment" aspect of threads does not seem entertaining to me and from an information standpoint it seems that some people simply want to make a joke out of everything and contribute nothing of value to a topic.

As I said there will be more to this story and skeletons will come out, at this moment Im just not in the mood.
To everyone, Members and Mods that supported me, again I thank you.
My reputation has been tarnished as it should be, but it has also been tarnished more than it should be. I will expound at another time.
Again, I thank the owners, the Mods and the Members that stuck beside me.
Also one more time, I apologize. Ranch Originally Posted by Ranchhand
