LOL

Brace yourselves is right!

Very satisfying and releaving to read MP deliver my exact thoughts in his style

What is TER going to do if one of the mods turn out be LE exposing everyone's IP addresses
and outing everyone and broadcasting them on local news?

Last I checked, sticking in my IP address to a tracking service located my home address within 1000 ft.
Maybe even less.

I would expect less privacy when mods starts to rotate.
I'd also expect more news about people being outed too.
It is inevitable if you ask me.

This is a GRATE idea and deecision!!!! By only do this with a "few of the boreds"? Why not do this with ALL the boreds (the TER General bored in particular)?

There's a LOT of cursing done on the TER General Board. Most of it is NOT in jest.

Unless you want me to.

please reconsider if true.

the only reason i can think of is that some local boards may be to cozy with a local mod. don't know how that would work exactly. but i think that stability and continuity on the national boards is a good thing.

I will probably NOT EVER post on a board with a provider Mod & see it as a HUGE conflict of interest!!!!!

Don't even ask me what I really think.  OMG.

it will have the OPPOSITE effect.   I'm furious . Tell me it aint so .

i think thats why rotating mods/crews directors is a grate idea. boreds like this one doo get to cozy with the mods. Look at MP67. he alreadee wants act like the TER mods (GaGambler, LittlePhil) enforcer. MP67 is willing to "get nastee" if the mods want him too.

There isn't a goddam thing wrong here other than some people have thin skins. It's the granddaddy of the boards. They suckle on the tit of other boards. Then they come here and get culture shock. I learned fast and furious when I got on TER cuz I wasn't even aware there were other boards. 'Newbie board'? Fucking please!

Shit. I didn't even know they had a board for NM. NM? Really?

Look. I'm all for toning my shit down for the greater good. But fucking moving LP and Gambler around pisses me the fuck off.

I'm fucking glad I got taken off moderation again cuz I doubt this would've flew if I was still in my fucking cage.

I know for a fact the fucking people own this thing cuz last time I was banned it took a lot of people to speak up in my defense and here I am. Shit.

Here's a taste of what's to come under my regieme:

your citation doesn't make your point. you are reading much too much into way too little. remedial reading and logic tutoring might help.

You stupid fucking glob of stale pecker puke.
That was not even close to what he meant.

Fuck you
XLVI = 4

Hell yes people go off the deep end sometimes, so what, it's entertaining.
It's what gives this board some life.
The mods do a great job of giving sound advice, when called upon. ( and their funny as hell )
So,,hands off please! Thank you.

rota-mods to read every single post about bbfs, taking a shit, and what should I buy the woman I pay to fuck me.

I doubt they'd last long, well they do pay some one to reed reviews.

Question: will the Male/Female co-rota-mods be allowed to fuck one another or have an romantic in nature type of relationship?

Man you guys are scared of change and really serious about this.  Roll with it.  I could see a strong reaction if you're a moderator, because you actually put effort into the board, but the rest of you chicken littles, lighten up.  Pussies, bullies, and control freaks.  Jeez.  Hey btw, why am I on moderation, again?

Post a hot babe, a practical observation, and a joke about sex that doesn't have doodoo, whining, or being drunk in it.  That's my idea of fun.  We're here for fun right?  Mangino has saved the city again!

Everyone is complaining here on the board. I hope you are all contacting the "powers that be" also. Blow up their inbox!

It is a stupid stupid idea. Rotating mods is like going to work and having a different boss every week, or going to school and having a different substitute teacher every week. in the first case productivity suffers. In the second case you don't learn shit.

Another issue I have is with aliases. Only the mods can read behind the alias. and they only can read behind the aliases that post on their board. Now if you have this reotating mod thing, then all alias covers will be blown. I know there  are a lot of people who will be happy about that, and I am no tin favor of using aliases to attack people, but TER allows aliases, and has a list of some very good reasons to use them. Highest among them for me is protecting your review history (or protecting the ladies you have reviewed), when posting about certain topics. Also while there are are people who may try to use aliases to spread lies, I think a lot of times people use aliases to speak the truth, because they are afraid of being truthful under their regular handle and getting attacked. I think alias use will be compromised with "rotating cruise directors"

It is also chicken shit that that they strip a moderator of his duties, with no warning, and then they don't tell him or the board he moderated a damn thing about what is going on, then show up a week later announcing some dumb idea.

I have only been posting for about half a year, first signed on for vip in 04, but I have been reading these boards since they first existed, somewhere around 1999, or 2000. Truth is I don't see a hell a lot of difference. People complain that the boards are going downhill, and there is all this nastyness etc. but I remember the same shit going on way back then. I don't think it has gotten a lot worse. I do think it hasw gone in cycles, though. sometimes they are a lot meaner and sometimes they are nicer. The main difference is there are way more women posting now, which is a good thing. that has been another complaint. "We are chasing the women away!" And while I agree that is true someimes, and I like the women here, and we should all be nicer. I also guarantee you there are a hell of a lot more women posting than there were in 2001, or 2003.

The newbie board is very friendly. the over 60 board is pretty friendly. Some of the regional boards are mean, some are friendly. Different boards kind of have their own personalities. The general board is the wild west (although that has been changed in the last week) This is not a uniquely TER thing. I belong to, or lurk on a number of forums. Some others related to this hobby, as well as forums on construction, home repair, motorcycles, cars, etc. They are all the same. There are some cool people helping out each other, and there are some assholes stirring up truoble all the time. There are some old timers that go out of their way to help newbies, and there are some that say things like "rtff" (read the fucking forum)

Yes there can be some cliques, and moderator favoritism, but that also happens in real life. Teacher favorites, coaches favorites, bosses favorites, and on and on. The boards represent real life, so why would it be different. When it becomes a noticable problem then you kick out the moderator. but as long as they are doing a decent job, and most of the members are happy with the job they are doing, why move them? If TER is trying to crack down on the meanness, and favortism, then they could just give word to the existing moderators, how they want them to run the boards, rather than doing this stupid rotating thing.

Change is good. But continuity is also good.

Okay my rant is done. I have a letter to write to admin now.

Basically, it summarized that hobbyist and providers will be automatically selected because they volunteer to be a moderator by submitting a feedback request. The volunteers will have different cycles, this way, everyone has a chance to be the moderator.

The GD board, and other boards are okay.

So when do I get my turn to be a mod?

My whole department is waiting for me to expose all your IP addresses and track you down!

Oh wait, doesn't that mean I can see EVERY post you made in the past 10 years under ALL your aliases?

Give me your social security number too while you are at it!




Disclaimer: Mods can attest that I'm NOT LE but rather a village drunk making a serious point.

And you forgot to include your trademark "ROFLMAO" and "fuckyeah".

but long enough to see behind everyone's aliases, then what's to stop them from outing them in pms or on the boards.

BTW, nice picture for a change. Your pics usually scare me

They say they are taking "a few" of the boards in this direction. Florida and Atlanta for sure. I don't know which others. But that doesn't mean they don't also have this board in their sights. Well maybe their experiment will flop and they won't expand it any more, but as of now who knows? This is not the first time TER made changes ubruptly with basically no announcement.

or replace the ones that are here now.

They do a good job, and there is nothing that needs to be fixed.

I'm calling my Congressmen!

This is the only fuck board I belong to, I have submitted reviews in the past, but primarily I'm a paying customer
if this is the future of things to come, I wont be on any fuck board.

Not sure about the call to the congressman

but do write to admin, if you are a paying customer.

Boards went to shit with those two. One way to eliminate all the cliche’s from running others of the board. I cancelled my membership when Little Phil decided to moderate me after about years on the boards so, I say good riddance to both.

I may even consider renewing my membership.

this shit happens?  Since there's been no such announcement here I assume it doesn't apply to the GD Board.  If it does, I won't be around long.
As for ever being a "rotating mod," I'll just quote Gen. Sherman.  When it was suggested he run for President he famously said: "I nominated I will not run.  If elected I will not serve."
There are new rules for this board already and I'm fine with them.  But if they try to tame this board any further they'll squeeze the life (and the fun) out of it.  Most of the people who make it fun won't stick around.

...things come and go.  Prostitution is the oldest profession, and guys talking about their sexual exploits is probably even older.

Ug: You see her?
Zog: She look like chimp.
Ug: I hump her yesterday.
Zog: Everyone hump her who gives her food.  That why she so fat.
Ug: She not fat. She full-figured.
Zog: Mangina.
Ug: I no mangina. What you know anyway? You got no reviews.

it has the *VERY HIGH* potential to turn out the true handles of hundreds of people in a very short period of time.

I use aliases occsionally, sometimes to poke good-natured fun, sometimes to ask a serious question, and sometimes to make a serious statement.  While I wouldn't consider very many of my alias uses to be vitriolic, I don't think I want my lady friends to know I was the one that posted "A question for the board: which farm animal do you prefer intercourse with?" (of course, that wasn't a real post, just an extreme subject for the sake of making a point.)

This is the only intelligent post here... I'm an admitted newbie, but in my short time here I've already seen the "old vs new" TER shitstorm and the "BBFS" shit storm, and after all the shit quits flying, the world moves on as it was..

Let me know when all "the sky is falling" caterwauling is done....

Maybe that's how you get to enjoy your status quo, while the proactive speak up to keep the world as it was.

Ever think of that?

There is not a lot of changes in 10 or 12 years. Just cycles. BTW, LMAO at Ug and Zog

but.. umm.. "new" TER is now "old" TER... BBFS, while a worn out subject, is still an admissable subject, provider ads still have their own drop down and the local boards didn't die any deader than they already were..

...and "proactive" to keep the world as it was ???? I think that's called "reactionary"...

                 ....tempest in a teapot....

Many fetures was added to new TER because of complaints like the tree format on the boards and post don't jump anymore. Also some dangerous features like unlimited review aliases and "Classic Reviews" of retired provides who needed leave this world behind was removed. TER has become much better because of the vocal people on the boards.

Things are the way they are because the majority wants them. TER does listen to the crowd and caters to hobbyists.  Don't make judgements based on minority's complaints.

From your alias... You're too drunk to comprehend.. Exactly my point BBFS was not admissible, it was a CHANGE... A change that precipitated a shit storm predicting the imminent demise of TER... Didn't happen, TER is still here and hardly anyone brings up BBFS anymore (rightfully so, IMHO).

So sober up, re-read the comment.. Quit the infantile knee jerk put downs, you'll enjoy life more....

Exactly why I don't post on shit storms... I should have sat back, read the hysteria and chuckled...

In the grand scheme of things, suppose you all are right.. TER collapses.. The history of humankind will be adversely affected for subsequent millennia .... Gee...

Over and out...

But I would attribute the modifications to rational people rather than vocal people...

My comment was that change did not destroy the board and that is the comment I was taken to task for, however based on historical evidence, I still contend the sky is not falling..

I had even canceled my VIP over the "Classic Reviews" and with that change for retired providers with custody issues the sky was falling.

I too do not think that the sky is falling now TER explained the change. I do not like the dismissal of the mods but CD idea may help dead boards. I change my vote to "wait and see" on this experiment.

Silent ones who never post about their being outed.
In fact reuters a good reason not many will post about it.

Ter will survive a change but it is less safe for users if more of their info are exposed. Looks like ter isn't going to give CDs mod privileges which means they listened to our concerns.

I guess there's no reason why you would want to participate.

Your ego is admirable.
