You may not - under ANY circumstances - post ANYTHING that outs a provider or hobbyist by handle and real name, EVER. Not even if they have been DEAD for 50 or 100 years.

NEVER.

Fuck - how many ways do I have to say this?

This is the only board I moderate with so many long-nosed busybodies with nothing better to do than make sure everybody knows everybody else's business.

That thing was gone before I could post a protest!

"This is the only board I moderate with so many long-nosed busybodies with nothing better to do than make sure everybody knows everybody else's business. "

Best. Line. Ever!

Several people were; one notorious monger and his provider adversary were both banned for exactly the reason Puck stated. If indeed one only gets moderated for such an offense, then TER has taken a lighter stance on it than they have in the past.

as a matter of fact, I thought some were years ago.

This is why they pay you the big bucks! deal with it! and make it better!!

A-fine-day!! Make it one!

"This is the only board" ... "with so many long-nosed busybodies with nothing better to do than make sure everybody knows everybody else's business."    

IMHO, this is in part, why MFP & MN Nice Guys went down.  In the MN hobby community, everybody makes it everybody else's business to know whom is fucking whom.   Sometimes, the fuck-er and the fuck-ee are the last two to know!  

I think there would be alot less trouble, alot less misunderstandings, and alot less hurt feelings if people would just mind their own business.  The hobby is no place for idle gossip and rumors.  That is the kind of thing that causes trouble of all sorts.  Trouble none of us needs.

i like this. there would definitely be no trouble if people had respect for privacy. im young and independent a perfect candidate to get hurt. im new to the business and feel its a risk to even let in who's behind the door unless i've already met them. hell i've been punched in the face, robbed and accused of having a pimp just over little upsells and misunderstandings. it sure makes you stay away from this biz vise-versa. retiring jasmine
