Not listening to the rubbish spouted by punters on forums!

[UrbaneAspects]

Could that be a legal thing? I read something a while back, maybe a guide to posting reviews on bigdoggie, and it was very coy. It seems talking about the real stuff (at least part of it) wasn't allowed.

thats an interesting website lol. and from the message posts Im not the only one who's 'hobbying' is down a  bit.

I dont think its a legal thing, but more the fact that few escorts are willing to open up and say things how they really are. I can understan if you want to project a certain image, or dont want to be seen in a negative light...but don't tell someone else to be like you. Some wb's have emailed me telling me to 'only talk about the positive things'.

I was shocked when I read a post from a girl on punternet in the 'hoax bookings' thread stated how she pushed out a punter who went to her apartment with her only to not want to pay her. She then 'pushed him out and landed flat on his face on the pavement'.

Now, when I wrote a similar thread on our forum, people swore it'd ruin my business along with the fact that I shoulda acted more professional. To a guy who ripped me off. This from other escorts.

Bloody hell Joey, that was an old one! There is no way even you could have read through the whole forum in less than a few weeks at least - impressed! 

Out of interest, have you read the PN forum rules? If you do want to join in and post, don't forget that any discussion of male service providers is off-topic and against the rules- it will more than likely get you deleted if you mention any gay prossie stuff. You might do well to pretend to be a lady, depending on what name you've registered with.

lol, I seen that after I registered under my name. I've already posted once but got no replies. But come to think of it, maybe I should lol. How about, Joei?

On PN, is having a listing a requirement? I seem to have got to this point and choosing either basic or deluxe is my only option for moving forwards...?

[amy]

I wouldn't worry - Joey could be a girl's name. If you try and re-register you'll get banned anyway for multi-nicking, so I would leave it, tbh. Just don't give away any bloke-stuff (and if your post is still there it means the mods haven't noticed, so you should be fine).

A listing isn't required for joining the forum as it is separate to the directory (and you can add a website link to your profile - or not - just like you can here), but it is not a place to advertise and any blatant touting will get you a bollocking (not that it doesn't go on, but it will not show you in a particularly good light, despite what some seem to think  ).

I do have a deluxe listing (which gets you a bit more text and a photie  ) but then PN is by far my biggest source of website hits and it is worth every penny (I have already had well over twice as much traffic from it this month as from Punterlink, the next biggest - although good old Google is second). It depend which area of the country you are in as much as anything else, I think.

The forum is a good start - if you join in a bit people (male and female) will look at your site and it doesn't cost anything, after all! The only thing you can't do is link to an Adultwork profile (or even mention the word - the software automatically changes it to **********). The site is not held in high regard, to say the least.

Oh. My. Gosh. Do you see the amount of members online at punternet? Thats like...100 times the amount on ours.

I actually changed my mind about posting there now. I found out they deleted my 1st post that was a very detailed explanation on pricing. My biggest pet peeve on a forum is when I take the time out of my life to write something and its deleted, no matter how many times its been bought up.

If they're going to be stuck up assholes, then they can go fuck themselves...

Joey, I didn't see your post but if you mentioned ANYTHING about being a male escort then it would have been deleted because of that, not because anyone was being a 'stuck up asshole'. As I was trying to warn you before, any mention of male service providers is off topic/not allowed and will be treated accordingly - if you took ages writing a post but couldn't be bothered to spend a couple of minutes reading the forum posting rules you've really got no-one to blame but yourself.

What's that saying about quality and quantity again?

They don't do trans (at least knowingly) either.

I read their rules...and I mentioned nothing about being a male escort. It said that my post would be reviewed by a moderator before being posted. It was, and then it was deleted.

I blame ignorance, not myself. People are so concerned about being 'offended' about one's sexuality and preference that society builds walls. Its like nightclubs. They wont let gays into some straight nightclubs, yet straight people can prance right inside a gay club and kiss and everything is fine. Oh it is? Give me a break, society.

If people are ever going to 'come out the closet' they atleast need to open the door.

Joey, it is NOTHING to do with offending people and everything to do with you breaking the rules. You apparently posted about being and advertising as a male escort at different pricing levels and having male clients, as well as how you can see things from both sides by virtue of being both a man and a sex worker. Nothing wrong with any of this, apart from that it is blatantly against the rules and the only mystery as far as anyone can see is how one of the mods let your post through in the first place. It was removed by another for the reasons I have just stated, and in fact had three replies, 2 of which told you clearly that this was a straight punting forum and that you were posting on the wrong board.

You may not agree with the rules (and I don't agree with them all either fwiw), but it's not a democracy and we don't get to decide what they are - that is up to the admin of the site. There is no point whatsoever coming back over here and throwing a hissy fit because you misunderstood.

[strawberry]

I read Joey's post and unfortunately it was  obvious he was a male service provider. So that I would say would be why he got removed.

Well if they cant get their mods in order, then I dont really care to be a part of their site anyhow. Also, I never read said replies...as apparently they were deleted before I could get to them.

They can keep their site for all I care. I find it stomach churing that they let men who clearly hate escorts post on there yet they refuse to let someone who deals with the same damn customer who have dicks and balls just because he's a guy.

I would have continued to like the site, but discrimination is enough to make me not even look at it

Ah well Joey, whatever you say - yet another thread descends into The Joey Show. Well done.

You joined a straight forum and posted about gay escorting, which broke one of the forum's most fundamental rules. The post was then removed, so it's the mods fault for letting it slip past in the first place. Have you any idea how much dreck the mods have to read through every day? To those that are falling over themselves to moan about the stuff which does make it onto the board - spare a thought for the people who have to read through ALL the stuff that never sees the light of day. The board has three and a half thousand active members (a good few of whom are in Premod), we have maybe, twenty? I do my best, but this is not an especially busy forum, most of the members get on most of the time and I still missed a spybot post yesterday for an hour or so.

Discussion of male service providers is NOT ALLOWED on PN - you can rant, rave and stamp your feet about intolerance and so on all you want, but if I joined a cake-baking forum and starting harping on about biscuits I would not expect my posts to last long as they (and I) would be unwelcome, unhelpful and irrelevant. The main board is for punters and WGs to discuss female prostitution in the UK and Eire (there is a separate Rest of the World board), and this is CLEARLY stated - why on earth did you want to or think you could be 'part of their site'? The posters who 'hate' escorts are not breaking the forum rules, just voicing their opinions, however abhorrent or uncomfortable some of them might be. But of course it's always somebody else's fault...

They can keep their site for all I care

They'll be crying themselves to sleep  .
But I won't. This thread was fading away nicely and I'm putting it out of it's misery. Closed.
