Forum Dying.

[Westsidex]

Was that when you were in charge of the competitions, before becoming a mod and then crashed and burned in a blaze of glory?

I think it was around 2008 ish. Better to crash in a blaze of glory than just crash ladoo. On a serious note your one of the good ones. I'm not on here much but hope lifes being good to you.

I find it repulsive. Most girls don’t like it, wish it were dead and think it’d be a better industry without it, I think.

I can see how you can find it repulsive. There should really be a clients only section like there is a private escorts forum. Just like escorts live 2 lives, clients do too. There needs to be an area where men can share some male banter that might be offensive to some, and there aren't many options to do this anonymously. Men don't tend to talk about mens issues, taking them to the grave instead.

I do think we forget some of what went on before , there were some serious factions formed around certain escorts and all hell broke lose on line and indeed it spread to real time stuff as I recall , just remember at one stage no night mods , it was BONKERS even recently some exceptionally disgraceful threats and misogyny to be seen . When I see some newbies saying it is a bit aggressive, I am like not so much in comparison.

The VPN issue and GDPR have made it difficult to ban those we might call the Viruses on here , thats one issue

Second is that because those attacks by that group went on so long it stopped many escorts from posting as Harry says . The rules were not applied before or v v lose application

In the old days the Chat Room allowed a far more friendly place to share views and for new guys to get a sense of how to play the forum and indeed to get to know girls

About 2 years ago the downturn happened ,the first full on attack of an appreciation thread occurred and from there it got worse and worse , some established members went and got themselves many IDs on here so they could fuck with other members , not long after rep points got going and then the thumbs down on reviews
Now we have rating of threads as a game as evidenced by an attempt to downgrade a EOTM thread recently .

There is competition and it is I believe that which put a stop to the constant re emergence of the repulsive trolls , up to that the Mods it seems felt it was spectator sport as some of us worked to get them dealt with , now amazeballs they are gone v fast, !!! . Competition is certainly healthy

Not sure what the answer are but . Mods need to find balance , some who cannot stand their ground should not be pandered to by Mods on delete delete delete . Newbies need to be willing to listen a bit at times and if they can see that due to history all newbies are checked out due to the Viruses re forming as newbies .

Above all else stop having a go at escorts without reason and even if you have be respectful . The balance between assertive /advocacy and aggression is not well managed by many . I have had I think 3 fall outs with escorts here in 7 years . One on Findom which I disagree with one because they went at people with depression and one because they were acting up on another escort which I was aware of . Two of those we now get on just fine , mostly !!

Me no saint been banned 3 times , just sayin . Ball in our hands Mods hands , KPI will be more girls posting simple as.

Ya I think you have more or less nailed it there
Well all good things must come to an ends
I remember “14 and “15 , Friday nights were great on the forum, between banter , good debates and some right slagging matches . It was a night not to be missed

Golden age was 2007 to 2010 ish.

That won't be beaten IMO,
Westside.

That’s because you were the mod

Its just not the same no more and I rarely come on now but that's probably me changing and wanting different things.
I would like to see the thread remain open as its the interesting ones that are closed.

I think links to other sites like pornhub etc should not be deleted when posted up as its not really any competition to E-I, it doesn't need to be as strict on things

[philipkntz]

How are you going to keep the girls out? Pay?

a rule at the top of the forum saying 'clients only' plus a warning that Male banter is allowed here, should be sufficient.

By waving their cocks around in the air in a threatening and dominant manner

Now I wouldn't be a soft touch
I have a very sordid and dark humour
I have read post here and been in complete agreement or laughter
I wouldn't be offended by banter in the slightest

However.... When does banter turn into well dehumanising

Agreed. Many of the links deleted are no more competition to ei than sporting events, yet we have a sports bar on here.

I imagine that there's some of that in the private escorts forum.
