    do we really need this? for anyone new joining in does it not look a little bit elitist? does it serve any purpose?

    we want to welcome in as many new members here as possible....would this not put them off?

    There are probably many things which put new members off, but is this one? I didn't think they could see it. Of course, now they will know about it. Does it serve any purpose? I think it was brought in to create a troll-free zone for ladies to feel comfortable posting in. That was a worthy goal, but it doesn't seem to have been met, perhaps because there are plenty of trolls with lots of posts. I don't see any point in getting rid of it, but it's clearly been a disappointment.

    “All right,” said the Cat; and this time it vanished quite slowly, beginning with the end of the tail, and ending with the grin, which remained some time after the rest of it had gone.

    Trolls have an ability to turn up anywhere and can easily rack up posts - base it on reputation, how long someone has been a member and how active they are.

    Good post ,But im just curious in what way trolls prevent ladies from posting or how does it effect them. I spoken to alot ladies over the past while and they never mentioned trolls as one of their reasons for not posting here

    I think you are right to question that. I seem to remember that that was the reason given when the Established Members section was set up, but I don't know if anyone actually asked escorts why they don't post on the public boards. If she hasn't already, probably Pat should ask that question in the private escort forum.

    no....i don't think so anyway. but we did discuss on another thread how anyone can join and it is not a private club. but for any new members to be excluded from this forum doesn't strike me as being completely open.

    anyway i really think its a bit pointless as its very similar in vibe to the general chat forum

    is my 2 cents for what its worth
    see you next tuesday

    I saw someone ask this question tonight , i still cant really see where ladies are attacked by so called trolls . Any arguments i seen here with escorts are usually with established members but i might be incorrect . I also dont see arguments as an attack but again i might incorrect . Maybe this established forum should return or maybe a separate forum where escorts can post with animonity or would that create more problems than it solves
