Bannings, some clarity ?

[dave1dave]

I know there are various reasons why the site will ban people, and various reasons why it is not keen on divulging to many of its methods of detection.

But as a forum, the members should have some way of knowing for sure that a ban is justified or necessary. Even just to assure members that E-I is not just banning people to placate a select few, as has been inferred on occasion.

So what I suggest is the forum members pick one or two members that we feel are un-biased and fair minded.
Who could be given the relevant information on a banning, under strict confidentiality.
They can then come back to the community with a verification of the banning on behalf of the community.

Sort of community representatives.

I'm afraid Dave, as I've said many, many times before, it is not always appropriate to disclose this information. For those who know some of the details of this particular incident (HL/Poggo/Rachel, etc.) you can probably understand. We cannot make a democracy of this I'm afraid.

Just gotta say that I for one am fed up to the back teeth reading about bannings, warnings and so forth. For me this forum is about relaxing, blowing off a bit of steam of an evening in an unhibited way and having some adult contact of an adult nature. This banning business is a bloody farce at this stage.

I'm pointing fingers at nobody. There are rules on here which are broken and they lead to all this crap. Maybe the rules are ridiculous .... and maybe some users just take the piss for the sake of it. It's a combination of both. But FFS, it's taking all the pleasure out of visiting this forum and I'm fed up with the lotta ya.

I hear what you are saying and it would be great if everyone had no ill intent towards anyone else but lets get real here for a second...

Some top notch escorts had some dirty low down underhand things done to them, things that affect their real world so at times bans have to be done for the most valid of reasons, personally I find it repugnant that some of those involved can still be on main page as those they messed with,

think about it, when the software that decides what avatar gets placed next to who on the escort main page it could well happen that they will be side by side with the most professional of escorts that were targeted.

I find this intolerable, wrong, unfair, repugnant and grossly insulting to the wronged, but its not our decision.

This is exactly the point I think Dave was making, some people seem to know the facts, some know half facts and some people are going WTF is going on. People talk in bloody riddles on here sometimes, half truths here, whispers there. Obviously from what I can gleam this latest issue is serious and is therefore different from someone being banned due to infantile behaviour or such like

It's also very possible for someone to get caught in the crossfire. Say they start a post innocently, then someone passes a comment by way of reply that changes the angle of the original post. Then another comes along and skewes it another bit ..... before you know it there is a whole other agenda going on in what originally was a light hearted and innocently posted thread. And it can make the original poster look like he/she was out to cause mischief.

So for those who are totally in the WTF category, just to be as safe as possible here are some rules to abide by that I've lifted from somewhere. Never post anything that could in any way be construed as a slur against someones :

Race or colour
Ethnicity or national origin
Sex or gender
Religion or creed
Political affiliation
Language abilities
Citizenship
Disability or medical condition
Age
Sexual orientation
Gender identity
Marital status

Use of Tobacco Products

So that means we can post about the weather and about sport. Never under any circumstances refer to anyone by name and FFS, never ever EVER say something that could possibly be interpreted as something it wasn't intended to be. I recommend you have a team of lawyers read over every single post you make before you make it. Just to check for possible holes and opportunities for it to be turned around and used against you.

Actually, to be really safe, don't post at all.

Perfectly valid bans, escorts got off very lightly actually, their feet from the advertising section would not touch ground if I owned the gaff.
