Porn Stars
i wonder if it would make sense for a tribal council of hobbyist elders to sit down and once and for all certify the small fraction of the ~500 providers on TER who have declared themselves a "porn actress" ... it could be done via email or a poll (perhaps on a yahoo group) or as an actual "standards committee" meeting at a strip club with plenty of booze and naked chicks to ease the inevitable friction that may ensue over who is and who isn't a "porn actress"
the criteria can be decided democratically. i think deep down inside, the players and connoisseurs already know who is and isn't so it shouldn't be hard - for example, porn actress = at least one title or magazine spread ... i for one will be glad to serve as the "secretary" and present the minutes of this historic meeting to TER and Staff 
this way at least we may begin to consider having different TER regulations for the PSEs so as to make this forum more friendly to legitimmate porn actresses/stars/starlets, especially now that TER has begun advertising in main AE forums (men's magazines, etc) ... with such a list handy it would be very easy to make it simple for true PSEs to post freely on this board and keep out the posers at the same time!
it just seems unfair that the regulations designed for 20,000+ GFE providers on other (regional) TER boards could be hampering the phun and involvement of the roughly ~50 legit PSEs on TER, a much smaller fraction of whom actually bother to post on this board ... it's the GFEs that are choking the bandwidth NOT the PSEs
JMHO ... the future won't fix itself you know!
yes but remember, we're NOT talking about "porn star(let)" here ... just "porn actress" which is already marked (flagged) in the TER provider profile
if a guy enters a new provider profile and sets the "porn actress" flag to YES, he should be able to provide TER with a link that verifies her status according to the criteria (whatever they turn out to be)
likewise, if a provider takes issue to her "porn actress" flag being set to NO, she should be able to provide a link, or at the very least, scan/fax a boxcover/backcover or photocopy of a magazine spread to TER to prove it
once we clean up the database, you'd be amazed how very few "porn actresses" will be left. and a far smaller number of them actually post on this board so IMHO they can pretty much be given (relatively) free reign to post ads, touring info, idle chatter etc (god knows it'll make MichaelCA's job easier, so he can focus his attention on the riff-raff instead!)
any provider who's not on this PSE list must then NOT post availability and touring info on this board period. however, PSEs must still abide by the usual regulations when posting on regional boards even though their numbers are much smaller than their "competition" on these other boards anyway

LOL ... listen to me, i sound like i'm running for office ... or is that "orifice"?
(this is all futile i'm sure ... no doubt chaos will rule)
our friend JBIRD did the ol' moderator trick, which is: skim through a thread real quick-like, scanning for keywords, and then reply with a pre-cooked answer from the archives ("PSE field is for ACTRESS, not porn STAR" and so on)
i could be wrong, but i honestly think if he had bothered to read it carefully he wouldn't have given that reply (which ended up agreeing with what was being said in the first place)
now as for the use of the word "hypocrite" ... i'm still pondering that one!
but hey no big deal ... go score some more VIP points!
