It's Monday...any changes???

[Enthusiast]

Well, we were promised "HUGE" changes on Monday. Perhaps I haven't looked hard enough, but I haven't noticed any. Has anyone else noticed any changes? :-?

If you read what the post said...it said around monday...I have my own board also...and I agree that you cannot be around 24/7 to watch over every thing and make changes...it will probably happen soon though

I'm sorry. I let a little detail called "my real job" get in the way of making the needed changes that were supposed to be put in place (nevermind the fact that monday isn't even over yet).

[ann_nonymous]

Exactly...thats what I was trying to point out in a subtle way....ie we all have lives outside this board...I say whenever it happens it happens

No worries. You've just got all our curiousity up is all.

read Mega's mea culpa. he had an Oprah moment & made nice with everybody. even apologized.

everybody's playing nice now. you can almost hear Kumbaya playing in the background.

maybe you don't have to change anything.

You should take that post down and just put the changes in place when they're ready and we're ready. It was only put up to quiet the crybabies.

[partlycloudy]

changes? the escort page hasnt even been put up...

[phungu2]

Hey Mega- he was talking about NYCe taking down HIS post about big changes that were suppossed to be coming down on Monday.

this is like an Emily Litella bit on SNL from the 70s. ("ohhhhhhhh.....thats different......Never Mind.")

p.s. it was cool of you to apologize & all that. whats more important is that you dont put yourself & us in that position going foward. When I'm pissed, I wait awhile to respond to the offending email. works for me.

I'm hoping the moderators are counting on us to behave ourselves and NOT make any changes...the only change I can expect they might make is to delay all messages until they are approved, which would mean no more instant feedback, which i'd really miss. Speaking as one of the thousand or so members, I promise not to make any personal attacks. In fact I went back and edited out the harsher things I said to shade. Sorry shade, but when the first thing you say to someone is snotty and superior-sounding, you're not making any friends. Maybe in your world, ts's and guys meet and hook up all the time, but not where I live.

We considered introducing a delayed posting system (one where posts could only be seen once vetted by a mod) but that would not only poison the site, but it would also be completely unfair to whomever the mod was at that particular shift.
After much discussion we've decided to leave things as they are for now. This site can be wild, unabashed and rough at times, but that adds to a certain (as the French would say) je ne sais quoi that I think is one of the major reasons that people visit this site. We have changes that will be made, but as for now I think we aren't going to (openly) tinker with the HungAngels recipe.

thanos, I'm glad to hear that. I find posting at TER forum frustrating for the very reason that hours, maybe even a day, can go by before a post is vetted and approved. Really makes it hard to develop a dialog. The SER forum is a better approach in that the mods only step in when needed, after a post is up, and I think they have a good handle on when to intercept a post (though they are too heavy-handed at insisting upon reviews in the review section rather than in the forum--a valid point, but taken to extreme); however, their system is so antiquated that it's kind of boring, plus the focus is almost exclusively on reviews of escorts--useful, but very limited. I appreciate the open nature of the forum here; it's very much like the approach in the forums I administer (wholly different industry, but it can get wild there, and we currently have over 5000 registered users, 10x that many unregistered, serving 3 million pageviews a month with about 100,000 posts and 9,000 topics--a moderated approach there would stop things stone cold), where the mods only step in as needed.

Self-moderation is the key, which I think almost everyone has been saying one way or another here lately. The events of the past couple of weeks have really built (World Series, election, Allanah's parties, new members, etc.) and I think we were all kind of swept up in the riptide of it all.

Ecstatic: I'm the moderator of the TS Board. You are right that the moderation makes it totally different in nature than this board. Everything has its niche in life. TER seems to have settled into its role as the board more oriented toward reviews and related information. I try to clear out messages 4-5 times per day but I do have a day job that requires travel and sometimes makes it hard to moderate more that twice a day.

Variety is the spice of life, they say. This site is more open season and seems to focus on lewd comments and pics of the girls, arguments with MEGA (which I enjoy), whatever is on Alannah's mind (or elsewhere on her lucious body) and euro-socialist rants by Seanchai. Its all good.
