When Was It Never A Cock Fest On Here?

[IDF2]

Reilly I would like to know.

People are always complaining escorts are being driven from these boards.

I have been here since 2013 and I can only remember a handful of escorts ever posting on here at any one time.

With the possible exception of when I joined.

Rachel Devine and Sophie with two prominent punters ruled this place.

But this place was the wild west back then and it was a very nasty place if you could not hold your own.

Sure Friday night was fight night and everybody jumped on board for the big scrap, the fallout was going on all week.

For the record, this is a punter's public forum.

I'm sure a lot of you don't know that escorts have their own.

They drop in from time to time to shoot the shit or drum up business.

So I ask again when was this place anything but dominated by punters?

[EscortInspector]

No idea but I love history.

C'mon man, you're letting that nostalgia trip you're on mess with your memories.

There use to be a massive bunch of escorts posting in General Chat at all hours of the day back a decade when you were first figuring the place out.
A lot of the girls saw this sub as a good way to tout/check out prospective clients.
A lot of them were often brave enough to wander into the chat app.

In my opinion this free-for-all big scrap arena scenario that you keep mythologizing was what turned them away.

Possibly my nostalgia is just that and incorrect.

As human beings, we always tend to look to the past and think times were better.

I do agree there were more escorts posting in the past on reflection.

But would you not agree that maybe they look at the way people are treated on here not Stepanie because she is the top dog here.

But all the negative reputation and complaints you get if you don't agree with a certain point of view?

It's not a very welcoming place for escorts or new posters.

Look at the way I am treated in front of the world by people I have interacted with for nearly a decade.

Do you think that encourages escorts or new punters?

I think some people need to take a long look at themselves.

Question for both IDF2 and UnfulfilledScott:

When did the rules change? From the "Wild West" period to the beginning of what we have today? Was it when the website chaged from old to new? Was it a particular moderator?

It was when the TheNightShift started and that was a good few years ago now.

Not blaming them they are employed to do a job and they do it.

They were brought in because Samlad and then Floki who took no bulshit went home at five or six in the evening or when Dr. Love a community moderator was not on the place went back to the wild west.

A least two times over a couple of years a punter and then an escort's personal info was posted on the public forum.

Enough was enough.

The nighttime moderation began.

But then the person who I have mentioned enough tonight with her fan club started running off posters that did not agree with them over the most innocent of subjects.

I was one of the crew at that stage.

But my sense of injustice just made me make a stand.

Enough was enough!

And now we find ourselves in the Gestapo forum and the biggest informer of them all now banned.

You have to love the irony of it all.

Believe me, I take no pleasure in pointing this out.

I don't think it's right that new accounts get so heavily leaned on but that's a function of how posters have come to expect a bunch of new poster trolls as par for course.
Why is that? Because of cause and effect.

I don't think it's right that neg rep is targeted against a person rather than the post.
The old motto was gold, 'Thank the post, not the poster'.

And yeah, I don't agree with the white-washing and hagiographies afforded some of the more established poster.

What can you do?
We've both been round long enough to know how these things usually play out.


But yeah, we could all benefit from taking a good hard look at ourselves from every now and Zen.

It was a changing of the guard, over time and a slow realization that there were many eyes watching.


The Twitter donkey that you highlighted last week was one of the worst offenders for popping up under a new alias every evening once the mods went home and posting some of the most vile shit you'd ever read.

This thing about the NightTeam being Gestapo is just IDF having another episode.




Edit : There was also the eventual final Final FINAL bans that would be distributed.

Maybe the next mod will be Elon Musk and IDF will get to relive his childhood.
