******************************************************************
Rules:
This is a board dedicated to the discussion of topics relating to escorts and the commercial sex industry and is a mixed board, representing both the client and provider constituencies. The board is intended to be a balanced forum for discussion and interaction, where opinions of all parties are respected, but flaming and direct attacks on others is strongly discouraged. As such, and with the help of a few members, I have tried to compile a list of do's and don'ts:
ANYTHING POSTED ON THIS FORUM BECOMES THE PROPERTY OF ITS OWNERS AND MAY NOT BE REPRODUCED IN ANY MANNER WITHOUT THE EXPRESSED WRITTEN PERMISSION OF THE OWNERS. DO NOT TRY TO CIRCUMVENT RULES WITH "CREATIVE SOLUTIONS".
0) No self posting.
0.1) No ad posting.
0.2) No promotional posting.
0.3) No public service posting which just happens to let folks know where, when, etc. you'll be available.
0.4) No posting which has really good info in it, which just happens to be your website, e--mail, phone number, etc.
0.5) No ad posting.
0.6) No having your friends post your website for you.
0.7) No ad posting.
0.8) No posting asking if anyone has seen you, yourself, listing your website.
0.9) No ad posting.
0.10) Do not use threads as a means of "personal communication" with other members. In addition, please refrain from using "e--mail me". Anyone doing so will be banned immediately with no warning. DO NOT TRY TO CIRCUMVENT THIS RULE WITH "CREATIVE SOLUTIONS". . Anyone banned for any of the above, including posting their e*mail address will only be reinstated after paying a fine of $250 (or $1000 for "supply side" posters), and required to make a "public" apology.
0.11) If you think we're not serious about the above because you see people who have taken out ads ignoring the above GUESS AGAIN! They get SFT for taking ads out. In other words, if you haven't already figured it out, advertisers do get some perks, the main one being the exmption from the "no ad posting" rules, to some extent. So don't assume just because you see some advertiser making "ad posts" that it's ok for non-advertisers to do the same thing.
1) Thou shalt not post with a hidden agenda, nor knowingly post false information. Thou shalt not make assertions or accusations without stating their basis. Thou shalt use no racial or ethnic slurs, nor engage in the discussion of pedophilia of any sort.
2) Thou shalt not engage in flame wars or attempt to defame any legitimate contributor to this board. Thou shalt be fair and play nice, even if others don't. Though shalt remember that you are talking to real people. ( Sometimes the Internet depersonalizes our communications to the point that we become careless about how we speak. Ask yourself this question:"would I say this in a room full of people, many of whom I don't know?")
3) Thou shalt think, before you post, whether your post contributes to a discussion or just would waste the time of anyone who reads it (such as saying how hot a provider is every time she tries to make a substantive contribution to a discussion). Especially when posting on a sensitive issue, write a draft, save it, do something else for a while, then re-read your message and make changes if necessary, then post. Put yourself in the other person's place. Sometimes it is too easy to act without fully considering the consequences of our actions.
4) Thou shalt not attack someone simply for disagreeing with you. Thou shalt not try to cut off opinions that differ from yours, or have like-minded people pile onto someone who states a differing opinion. If a customer, thou shalt not post to "protect" favored providers.
5) Thou shalt not refrain from posting an opinion just because you're afraid it may be unpopular. If you are in doubt about something you are considering posting, ask the APM about it via e--mail.
6) Thou shalt refrain from overuse of "insider comments" and "private winks and nods". Always consider how your post/thread will be viewed by those who have recently joined us. Assuming a deep knowledge of the hobby and/or the community and/or this or any other board will make one's posts appear nonsensical to newbies. Perhaps posts will be completely misunderstood. It might take a few extra minutes, but try and fill in the blanks for those less "in the know".
7) Thou shalt try to be positive. There is an awful lot of fun to be had out there and this forum can help the effort. Do a self-check on your own posts to see if you might be in a rut. If so, perhaps taking a break from posting is the right thing to do.
8) Thou shalt not engage in any provider advertising or Sub Rosa promotion of the supply side, other than in the advertising/classified section,
9) Though shall not take anything too seriously. Remember, these are just words, and this is just a "Hobby Board".
10) Thou shalt remember that the board is only as good as you make it, or as bad as you make it. The members get all the credit for making this a worthwhile place to visit. Of course, there is a responsibility which comes with that, and it is also the members which can make it a place that no one wants to come
11) Please try to cut down a bit on the "hello there cutie" posts every single time anyone with a vagina posts to the board. Aside from being an incredible waste of bandwidth, it makes it harder and harder to read the threads for any meaning
12) If you post to a thread, and it gets deleted, it means we meant to delete it. Do not repost it.
13) Don't pester the APM ( and don't forget 1 thru 11 ).
14) Don't post the same thing to multiple forums.
