I'm proud to say I really have struck some nerves in the short time I've been here.  I've posted NO reviews, ZERO, NADA and I never will....I'll shout it from the goddamn rooftops....THESE ARE MY MEMORIES!!  haha!!!

Reviews are the sole purpose of this website. Go join Reddit.

"Trolls are a bit different. They have higher levels of something called negative social potency. This is a fancy way of saying that they like to cause mischief and suffering, along with the attention that entails.

and humorous, so you see the irony in you posting this after posting several days ago that you will NEVER write a review of anyone, and that female orgasms require "genuine feeling" towards the other person?  I wonder if QB and other providers dress their vibrators up in little tuxedos to go out to dinner after they get an orgasm out of them?  I don't think there is anyone here who is PISSED at you.  If you think that, you are the one taking things here too seriously.  It's just that this board is populated with a lot of guys who call out bullshit.  It's not done in anger.   Many times, newbies don't even know they are posting bullshit.  Don't take it so seriously and personally.

I’m glad you’re having fun here on TER! I myself enjoy the playful banter from time to time. TER is a wonderful adult community that I have always been proud to be apart of & pay for VIP membership.  

Reviews may be the main purpose but certainly not the sole one. To me TER is about sharing information and reviews are just one way to accomplish that. Public board posts, private ones, pms, etc are all vehicles to share info.

You're correct Robert. The guys here share reams of information on the boards as well as in reviews. The problem is that this guy Gus never shares any information, and now he's laughing at everyone and saying 'ha ha ha ha ha I'm going to keep spamming the boards and there's nothing you can do about it.' He's a troll in the clearest sense of the word.

I was surprised that there wasn't a picture of Gus in the article

...The thread about "Duos" and male fantasy.....In it there were some pretty hostile and antisocial sentiments directed my way....THAT's what partially inspired this post/thread.   Apparently, according to some in that thread, I am on "ignore" by a number of people.....I'm guessing not enough though lol    

Yes, there is a TER rule/policy that all reviews are fantasy.
Yet TER rejects a review if it claims to be fantasy -- they then require documentation that the encounter took place.  

The fact that he is new could his explain his lack of sharing info. I didn't have any info to share when I first started.  
.
Your second point has more validity. If he is really laughing at everyone, that will show itself in due time. But I would say give him a chance to adapt to this place.  
.
This board isn't the easiest one to post in when you are new. His true self will be self-evident shortly.

He's already clearly stated that he will never write a review. I doubt he'd share any other information either.

Many new people are fearful of writing reviews. That's totally normal. Did you write them right away? I certainly did not. My views about writing them changed when I got more experience and more confidence.  
.
You honestly know him well enough to know what he will do in the future? Who are you, NostraHolyStone? lol. Give the guy some time bro. smh

No one knows what anything will do in the future. But it's clear that he is a troll here. Not even an amusing troll at that. Maybe he is just lonely and this is his reaction to his personal situation (assuming that what he said is true). While he is a minor annoyance, his posts seem to be boardering on unwelcome. I get that if he's paying for membership (not sure) maybe TER has an incentive to leave him be; not like anyone is going to stop paying or stop reviewing here just because the guy is posting here. But might be nice if TER just gave him a bit of a warning given most don't seem happy with his contributions.

Can you give more of an explanation as to where you felt hostility on that thread? I actually posted on it and read some of the comments and did not see this, unless some were deleted.  
I mean, at this point this website is what it is. There used to be a lot more people that did reviews and there were a lot more discussions but I am sure as everyone has guessed at this point being reviewed is no longer a necessity that it once was to be successful as a provider. Many providers also took offence to the crass and degrading comments that they could read and said enough is enough. The review mentality for this industry was also wildly biased in the client's favor and providers also said enough is enough with the misogamy.  
I will though applaud TER for no longer allowing the very immature and unnecessary comments and discussions that were only meant to be mean and vindictive and were not helpful at all for the community and its members.

I understand your point Robert, although I did immediately post reviews because I was familiar with the process after having been a member of a local SoCal review group before TER was founded. But when I joined that group I took my time before getting too involved with the message boards until after I had submitted a few reviews and established myself as a contributor to the group.  
.
But you know what I didn’t do, and 99% of the guys here didn’t do? We didn’t come on like gangbusters with fantastical, imaginary stories on the boards when we were newbies. We took our time and tried to go with the flow. And when we did something that got a negative response from more established guys we didn’t respond like a jerk. We tried to learn how to fit in better.  
.
Going forward I’m going to do my best not to react to his awkward stories and general drivel. And I’m going to hope that TER management accepts Jensen’s request steps in and warns him against continuing this course of action.

There are many here now. I am not willing to place him in that category...yet. Like I said, his true colors will be revealed in due time. I just think he should be given some leeway since he is new. And you, and others, are free to ignore his posts in the meantime, like I do with several here.  
.
But I really don't see the harm in his posts at all. His OPs get a lot of attention, with tons of responses, and makes this board less boring imho, but I am certainly willing to admit I could be wrong about him.

Because these policies are made for two different audiences.

But I think Gus does!

IMO, calling a review a fantasy means it's not true and didn't happen.
Some of the reviews I've read describing the girl were close, subjective?, and others right on.
Others describing the service were also on the money.
I was under the impression reviews are written and read to help a Monger decide to see the girl or not.
At least in the Kgirl world that is how they're used, at least by most, IMO.

This seems like a major overreaction to a new poster. I don't see any rules he is breaking. Put him on ignore or just ignore him. If we censored speech for "awkward stories and general drivel" CDL would never be allowed to post. lol.

Why do you think "gave him a warning" has to mean censorship? How about just a friendly PM saying, you're new maybe you should tone it down until everyone gets used to each other and you have a better understanding of the culture and norms here.

A warning certainly implies censorship will occur unless he changes. The pm you wish TER to send him, the way you worded it, would be a suggestion, not a warning. They are free to do so if they felt so inclined but I cant see why they would.  
.
I still haven't heard of a single rule he is breaking. So some find him annoying. Who cares? Again, the remedy for that is simply don't read his posts or put him on ignore. Very simple to do. You, and very few others, are making Mount Everest out of a mole hill at this point.

Calling on TER to get involved? Really?!

I dont think Gus did anything out of line. This whole ecochamber thing is a bit ridiculous.

it's always been obvious many people don't. And it's certainly not a requirement of TER in order to post here. I think the guy is a genial type and we need more people posting here, not less.

I've not seen anyone saying positive things about his posts but do see complaints about his posts., particularly in terms of his defensive and argumentative responses to the criticisms. Given not many people are even posting  here, "a few" can be most, but my use of most referred to post complaining compared to posts supporting or suggesting neutrality.

Ten times now. You don't like the way Gus posts. WE ALL GOT THE MEMO! Here is a unique take:
.
IGNORE HIM. Can we move on with our lives now???

.Jensen....You simply won't listen to Robert, you just keep going on and on about what an awful TER community member I am....your posts, especially the one immediately above this, are absurd attempts to hammer a perception into reality about ME....you have no clue at all what the hell you are talking about.   Several others here as well who claim I "SPAM" and Troll....you need to brush up on your definition of SPAM, and trolling is largely subjective, like many other aspects of these forums.

D00dz,

100% correct. I’m finished reading or responding to his bullshit. Hopefully he carries out his promise to drop out soon.

I'll have you know every provider I see has multiple climaxes in my presence.  Just yesterday a lady had a series of Os starting with me walking in the door and culminating in a multi-orgasmic spasm when I took off my shirt and she got a look at my uni-ab. I never even got to fuck her, the poor thing was so worn out.

The one I hate:

Well Gee Mr RIFF, you must be one of the most miserable pricks I've never met....if you are, IN FACT, done reading & responding to my "bullshit", then it really doesn't matter TO YOU whether I stay or go, does it?    DOES IT??!!?

Now this is a funny post, the self-deprecating kind I will aspire to in future postings, and I hope others do as well.....

Interesting..... You want people to conform to a certain type of writing, yet when you are criticized about the way you write you are ____________ (insert your adjective here)

...that I get pissed about...it's the attempts to shut me up and make me go away....or, the attempts  to make me accept or conform to the "Hobbyist" mentality and culture that is a part of TER and write and endorse reviews....note I said "a part of TER....not the whole shebang though...."

My only issue with you is your often uncessarily long posts. And here you insist on quoting lyrics in English and Spanish for no apparent reason - total waste of bandwidth.

Once you do it a few times it's very simple.

Everyone should be allowed to post whatever they want, NO MATTER HOW FALSE OR STUPID IT IS.  The problems is that most guys who post false and/or stupid shit are not mature enough to take the blowback that comes with taking that path.   When they get constantly called out and no one agrees with them on much of anything, they eventually leave on their own rather than be the board pinata, as you have become.  Most of these shits (ships) passing through here in the night are newbies, like you, and their only experience in P4P is what they have seen in movies, which is both filtered and romanticized.  You are so insecure you want the membership to tell you to keep posting, but I can't bring myself to do it.  Respectful Robert is Mr. Nice Guy, so he may want you to stay.  I have no opinion because it's not my choice, it's yours.  

Thanks cdl for making the point better than I have. I guess at its lowest common denominator:
.
It's okay to be YOUNG (in hobby years/experience) and INEXPERIENCED (weren't we all when we started on this adventure).
.
But it's a whole 'nother kettle of fish when someone is YOUNG and INEXPERIENCED coupled with unmerited BRAVADO, HUBRIS and ATTITUDE and unmatched VERBOSITY. I think that's what so many of us experienced guys find problematic with Gus' bullshit.
.
Nota Bene: Dammit GaG, where are you when we need you?

The lyrics to this actual song from the Clash are ARE in English and spanish....it's the actual song.   Bandwidth?   Ok, I don't recall that ever being a consideration on what someone posts...

Thanks Inicky, when I actually want to post a video I will follow your directions....in this case though, it was the actual lyrics that I simply wanted to use to make my point about debating whether I should stay or go...once again, NO one HAD to read it but they did.

"But it's a whole 'nother kettle of fish when someone is YOUNG and INEXPERIENCED coupled with unmerited BRAVADO, HUBRIS and ATTITUDE and unmatched VERBOSITY. I think that's what so many of us experienced guys find problematic with Gus' bullshit."

the Rhine River in a boat instead.  You won't get wet.  Lol

"I warned you for your own good, and here you are, proving I'm a veritable genius.  Lol"

It's pretty clear.  If you don't UNDERSTAND what I wrote, it's okay to say so.  That would explain a lot.

Gus you're allowed to say whatever you want but you have to realize people will respond to it, and not always in a positive way. We have to be realistic about the impact of your behavior. Posting conversations bumps the thread to the top of the page. If you post a lot, you tend to drown out other posters, bump old/irrelevant conversations and bury topics you aren't interested in. Also, writing verbose posts that are multiple paragraphs long make using the site harder, especially when people keep replying to each other. The formatting gets all messed up and there is a lot more scrolling involved. We hear your opinion on everything. So you can claim freedom of speech but your exercise of it impacting others and you don't care. You also complain about people not letting a conversation die, but here you are keeping it alive.  

It's not easy being YOU, is it CDL?    

that I'm aware of at least.

that I don't get to see as many providers as I WANT to, due to the fact that I'm still working and only semi-retired.  In all other respects, it's pretty damn good being me.  Since you didn't know any of this because you have only been here ten minutes, comparatively speaking, is this your imagination talking again, or just speculation based on who you THINK I am?  Whichever, it kind of makes you a troll, don't you think?  

It is interesting that some here see observations that someone's posts are clearly a bit disruptive and objectionable to a lot of other people but saying that, in the hope that the poster might modify their interations and approach to posting, is somehow an attempt to make them shutup.

Some people just don't see the irony.  lol

⬆️ You speak the truth, Jensen.

Person A says "I don't like how/what he posts here, let's have admin give him a warning"  

Except my appeal to authority was the appeal to have a neutral party, and an authorty make whatever call they will. Yes, I do think the discussion should proceed differently and the OP is intentionally bringing a lot of this on himself which is avoidable. Hence the value of input from a neutral party.

You're saying the same thing but using different words.

Rocket, I disagree. If you think someone is behaving unacceptably you ask an authority figure or a judge to evaluate their behavior. If it’s a lawyer you report them to the State Bar. A doctor, either the State Medical Board or the AMA. A mechanic, the State Consumer Affairs Department. Well, this is a fuck board. And the authority figure is the Board Administrator. So if a member believes someone is out of line the Admin is the appropriate person to reach out to for assistance. And we’ve both seen TER members, both hobbyist and provider alike, either removed or suspended by Admin. In just the last year that guy from NJ who was aggressively spamming the boards and arguing with everyone disappeared overnight after complaints from members. So I don’t see why it’s inappropriate for Jensen, myself, or anyone else to ask Admin to have a look at someone’s behavior and maybe ask them to tone it down.  
.
One last thing: Gus or someone brought up the issue of free speech. Speech is always free, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t have consequences. Gus and others are free to write what they want. The consequences are that others can respond negatively or positively, and if things get out of hand Admin can get involved.

I agree with you about who the authority is here. No arguments from me there.

You really like your straw men don't you rocket.

You claimed irony because people complaining about you shutting gus up were doing the same to you. And I said no it's not the same.

"I never said this was about what Gus was saying but what the reactions are. Others have taken exception to what and how he says things)"

Can continue another long winded argument with Rocket  in a separate thread? Because no matter how you try to justify it, you called for Gus to be reported because you disagreed with what and how he said things.

Do you really think that post was supposed to mean anything to rocket? It was just a simply corrective note to others.

Way to actually address cks point. Lol
