If you found this board, than use the drop down window and it's right below the General Discussion board. On the FAQ for Newbies, the rules are a little different than this board, and you'd probably get an answer from mrfisher, who is quite the expert on all things TER. As to the negativity to wards an alias, here's the deal, first and foremost when using an alias it doesn't show how many reviews you've written so no one can get an idea of your experience and the type of ladies you see. Also when using an alias, readers cannot to a search of your previous board posts and get an idea as to your activity on TER. Also using an alias means you cannot be pm'd which is a good way of carrying on a discussion in private. My suggest is to read the "self help center" in red print on the main page of the newbie board. Lots of topics are discussed and is very helpful when starting in the hobby. As to the fake history, as previously stated, the hobby has a lot of trust built into it. The ladies trust us, and we trust them. I ditch that thought and instead just divulge what you're comfortable with. Good luck. Forgot to mention, most m&g's you need to be screened, just like when you see a provider.
First off, I love the "FAQ for Newbies" forum and have been posting there frequently during my few months as a new TER member. I didn't submit this thread to the "Meet & Greet" forum, but the Mods placed it here instead, I suppose because the subject matter was relating to M&Gs. And yes, you're right...mrfisher is a wealth of information, as are some of the other regulars over there (yourself included). And I gotta be honest, the guys that post over there have been a lot friendlier than some have here. When I realized the Mods decided to post this thread in the M&G forum instead, I was hoping some of those regulars from the Newbie and GD forums would chime in here on my thread. I've seen you post over there a lot, but so far, you're the only name I recognize in this thread. I thank you for your response.
I appreciate your comments regarding aliases. You wrote:
* "Using an alias does not let other members see how many reviews I've written, and therefore they cannot get an idea of my experience and the types of ladies I see."
* "Readers cannot do a search of my previous board posts to get an idea of my TER activity."
My question to you is, why on earth would anyone need this info about me to answer my question? I mean, while I didn't come right out and say I was a newb in my original post, I did say I'd never been to a M&G before and was looking for some guidance about what I should and should not say about myself, or, what would be proper or improper to inquire about other guests at one of these events.
Ya know, I've seen one of the Mods (Little Phil, IIRC) post that people using aliases should not be discriminated against, but it seems the message has not been embraced by a lot of members. Look, I can understand that the use of aliases should sometimes give people pause--like that alias who claimed to be a Vanity Fair reporter wanting to query a bunch of members here about the fall of CL and how it would impact the hobby. That post, whether it was legit or not, screamed LE to me. But geez, how innocuous was my post? Completely. And for that guy, The Village Idiot, to respond here suggesting he was some kind of M&G expert and was "going to give me all kinds of advice but decided against it because I used an alias"...well, that was just lame.
Whatever.
Thanks, hiddenhills, for the response.
