Actually I am only half joking, I know "all women" are supposed to be beautiful,  but as anyone who has ever been to the Photo Board AND who has any standards at all will agree, that is simply not the case.

I would say it should be allowed.  Many of the posts on these boards are in search of providers with certain characteristics, so it's an easy way for readers to see if this is someone they should seek out.  We're all on these boards with the ultimate aim of ending up with providers who float our boat, so I'm up for anything that makes it easier to find the girls who turn me on.

Sure, why not? Count me in.

My take is there are more reasons that would be a bad idea than a good idea; a number are called out in the Admin post.

OK, sometimes I just slay myself but you left yourself open.

I don't see how provider pics would make the boards any more cluttered.

As with most things, it's hard to predict unintended consequences (and possible abuse scenarios) in advance. If you set a fixed trial period (3 months, 6 months, or whatever) then that allows both providers and clients an opportunity to see how things play out in actual use. You can reserve the final "yea or nay" vote for afterwards. And, at that point, everyone will have had the benefit of experience and no one should get their nose out of joint regardless of which way the final vote goes.

I'd say no, keep them in the ads forums, but on the other hand if the idea is to attract back providers, then that out weighs the disadvantages of cluttered discussions.  So yes.

I have no preference. Of course I enjoy looking at beautiful women, naked or clothed. They can post on the ad boards and the photo board however so the opportunity to view photos is already there.  

I'm all in favor of allowing photos to be posted on the Regional Boards.  Any help that we can give to providers I am very much in favor of.

Rather than having photos allowed on any post. And of course if you allow "roast beef/mud flaps" pics you won't be able to discriminate on the basis of age, so, maybe those should be a no no so guys like GaG and JD don't have to "suffer" with seeing mature ladies' and have nightmares!  

There is already the ad board and the photo board.  The discussion boards are for discussion.   There’s already a bad enough problems with threads getting hijacked by personal beefs.  Adding the ability to post pictures will just make that problem worse.  It lends itself to abuse.  

...simply by clicking "See My TER reviews" or clicking on the link to her ad/website if she includes it.  Are you assuming hobbyists are too lazy to do that?  

My vote is NO.

I suggest you allow this, and add a settings options (or put it at the individual discussion board level) to suppress displaying GIFS and PICS.  That allows the user to decide. It also allows those who view the site in public/work areas to do so more comfortably.

Board may be cluttered with many pics, but as an email generation we only look at whatever lines fit on a screen, unless we are really bored and pathetic/nothing to do.  And this will give a flavor to local boards. "Thursday Tushies", "Wednesday Wings" (not sure what Wednesday Wings will bring.)  Also, Moderator can set these daily/weekly headings.

...since they do it anyways let it be a thing.
I'll take all that VIP now .

I am AGAINST adding photos to posts on the Regional Boards. For me, it's a BANDWIDTH issue. I use TOR and sometimes it takes a long time to load photos. Some people link HUGE image files - ugh.
.
TOR uses free (no cost) relays and can be very slow but some people use VPNs with monthly limits. Lots of photos can screw them, too.  Some people now have hobby phones with data plans that might be pay-per-Mb (or Gb). They probably only want to use their mobile data plans for who they WANT to view, not every stinking picture on the page!  
.
I DO like the occasional link to a funny or informative gif or useful Neighborhood Map (e.g., Manhattan or Boston), but those aren't ads and they are somewhat rare. I also appreciate it when Senator Blutarsky posts photos of his campaign workers and office staff.  
.
Also, it might lead to "nothing" posts, just to get in a link and a photo. E.g., a reply consisting solely of "Yes. [photo]" or " [photo]." or worse. It can be easily abused.  
.
If I want to see her photos, I can CHOOSE to look on Photo Only or the Regional Ad board or click her link to her Profile or website.  
.
Which reminds me of one of my old Suggestion & Policy suggestions. Currently, if there is a LINK (url) entered into the box at the bottom of the posting page, there is a LINK icon (red square with some chain links in it) on the subject line. I suggested adding an icon to show when there is an IMAGE in the post from a link in the "Picture URL" box. When it comes to the Ad Boards, I DO want to and expect to see a photo. I don't want to waste my time opening a post with no photo.  
.
herbtcat suggested making it optional for the reader to view an attached image. That would help with my bandwidth and monthly usage arguments. Only view what you want to view, with a click.

I pissed myself you fucker! lmmfao!!!

If the lady feels comfortable with it, why the fuck not? Matter of fact, why shouldn't the guy? It's only right.  

Most regional boards are pretty dead so this might help to get the ladies back involved.

I love you. May I spend not enough time with you, sweetheart?....!  

And Steph, how close are you to Hickory?....

I understand both sides but I think if it helps the ladies during this crazy time of likely reduced business, I am for it.  I do like the idea of circling back in a few months to see if it ends up getting abused.  

The visual is more often than not my first inkling of interest in a provider, so heck yes, the more pics on TER the merrier.  

My vote would be to allow pics but not the end of the world if you don't. They are allowed in the ads but from an honest perspective, it's not that big of a deal. Most providers have links to either their personal site where you can see them or other sites that have them posted. The reviews are the big differentiator and the ultimate judgement on the provider.

A few years ago  my favorite thing to do while eating my breakfast was to browse the photo/ad boards, until one day I opened a dick photo, not realizing there would be TS providers advertising, too.  It put me off of looking while I was eating breakfast for several weeks.  Lol

I honestly didn’t read all the banter  
I AM SO EXCITED about posting photos  

I obviously it’s not realized this is the TER general post 😂
I however, I am so super easy for excited! Because whenever I first started being apart of this website.  
I was able to post a photo with every comment!  

I am so excited to get you you like me  
OXOXO Katie 🌸

Yes, absolutely. You pass the hot test.

My point exactly, there are some bad looking photos out there that I don't need to see once - let alone on a repeated basis.  

The concern raised about viewing TER in public places is legitimate, but Twitter has plenty of nudity and I see nudity in other people's feeds all the time in public places.  Especially while commuting.  I know my twitter feed will have nudity and so I am careful about not having my back to the public when scrolling through my feed.  I am equally judicious already when looking at TER in a public place and so should every other user.

Ok, too late, you have already impressed me and you have done so for many years now))

For me it's aNAL, oops typo a NAY. Check your data on the traffic and if you want more traffic, test it and see how it goes. My thought is it won't generate more traffic.  

photos .. dont see the point .. but if you really wanted to add value and perspective to a woman's posting .. post her TER rating next to her name.   that would be far more constructive.     photos are easy enough to find between a profile and ad boards.  

They're always super fun to see the creativity and fun with the providers.

There are plenty of places on here for providers to post photos. It would quickly become a threAd page.  T he only reason I've seen in favor of allowing is when someone is in search of or complaining g about a provider.  Those make sense but usually a link to there previous ad or profile is enough.  All other arguments in favor center around liking pics of hot women Have they suddenly been hard to come by?  As for the TS restrictions OP already stated  
"-TER would have no control over the images posted i.e., repetitive use of the same images, range of nudity."  I vote No.  

to any rule, Lexi, and if TER puts ME in charge of who gets in, you have no worries.  Lol

Which means a couple of  hours..

Is that like, "Down the road a piece." or "A piece, down the road."?
