Permanently or just a suspension? If the former, how did you get back on the Mod's good side?
A 'crime blotter' that's locked and sticky would would rock. I've frequently looked at the last posts of 'banned' and went, 'WTF?'. It wouldn't have to be anything huge, but a single Mod only thread like,
Code:
Member: The Options Menu
Issue: Called mod100 of 'fuckface' via PM for not supporting one of his ideas.
Punishment: Banned for a week to cool off.I don't believe they have what you call a suspension...your just "banned" , be it short, long or permanent
Myself it was short, and all info is there for you to read first time you try to log back in..
Note: I better not get banned for this.......right guys..

Don't go getting yourself banned/suspended, we are still trying to get OG2 returned, we don't have enough bandwidth to go through this for you too!

This is disappointing. I only come back to this board nowadays for the PMs with OG.
OG is a classy guy that helped me when I was down. I for one enjoyed his posts which are far more intelligent than most of the guys (that amazingly are the first in their family to walk upright!).
It is a loss for this board and a gain for the blue one. The mods may have reacted and not reasoned with this decision.
Off to the blue board to see what's going on there!

You're fooling yourself if you think TERB or Terb members account for more than 10% of client pools for agencies and/or indies. Most people who see escorts don't even know TERB exists.
If people don't really like how things are run on this forum then just go to the other forum.
I'd challenge that. I'd say that informally most of the ladies I've seen would say that 50% or a little more of their clients are on TERB. Of course I tend strongly toward outcalls, and a bit toward the higher end.
KK
Ladies advertise using different forums/mediums (e.g. EROS, BP) so unless they ask their clients how they found them then they will never know for sure if they came from TERB. But that's what I have read on the internet so who know if it's true or not.
Won't happen - we have found it causes far less problems to keep most suspensions (bannings, vacations, whatever) private. It is noted in the posting guidelines:
As a general principle TERB administration will not publicly discuss the reasons behind their decisions to discipline a user. That is a matter between TERB and that user only.
I actually seldom have the opportunity to entertain TERB users. 80% of my guests aren't on the boards and the 20% that are come from another board but some of them have accounts here as well. I do track my advertising closely so I know where to spend my advertising $. I advertise here to brand incase I decide to start traveling and so that I can participate in the threads that catch my eye. The boards have never been a source of income for me but I don't mind supporting them financially as they are a great source of entertainment and cheaper per month than a good dinner out. I will reiterate that the MODs have a thankless job and I admire their resiliency. I don't have the patience to do what they do...

Why in this regard are Terb and Merb run so differently considering they are owned by the same person.
Just because you have 1 common boss (e.g. CEO), does not mean that all divisions of a company are run the same way.
Also, the title of this thread seems to be incorrect. It seems like this was not a "surprised" banning as OG2 was given a warning and he failed to heed to it.
TERB is a business. It makes money by selling advertising. The amount of money an ad sells for is based on page views and click throughs, tracked by software like NATS. The more visitors, the more ads sell for. What brings people to TERB? Information and discussions that are interesting and entertaining.
Most TERB memebrs never post. Look at the forums and you see only avery small number (maybe two dozen) of high-post count members contribute the bulk of the volume, ignoring the stupid "wgho is available in Markham" posts. Without those high-volume posters, TERB would be less interesting and hence have fewer visitors, and hence make less money.
Banning a low-post-count member for stupid comments is one thing. Banning a high-post count member for something unexplained is another. I read through eight pages of OG2's comments and I see nothing warranting banning. There was back-and-forth with suckme4ever and raj08536 but they are still members and OG2 gets banned. He is not the only doctor on this board but he was the one offering advice and information to straighten out the misinformation presented. He was always a proponent of treatign the ladies properly and the fact they made good girlfriends and wifes. While others may not have agreed with the latter point, the discussions were interesting. I saw nothing in any of his almost 4,000 posts that warrant a ban under the guidelines laid down in the document the mods created.
I got an email from OG2. He says he asked the mods by email on Friday why he had been banned. He has received no reply. He also says he has no idea why he was banned and received no warnings in the last few months at all. So, the mods appear to have made an arbitrary decision for reasons unknown which they won't explain to the member (even though their own rules say they will). They ban a valued contributing member like OG2 but do nothing against individuals like suckme4evere and raj08536 who contribute absolutely nothing and are obnoxious to boot.
No other banning on TERB has generated the support for a member like this thread has for OG2. You'd think the mods would consider this a good sign for OG2 and either allow him back to be a valued contributor or at least explain to OG2 why he was banned. It is a matter of "I don't have to justify my decisions", and that's just as they state in the guidelines for this board so that's their right as moderators and owners. It just seems very heavy handed to me and obviously to the others who have asked for a reconsideration of this banning, considering the value OG2 brought here, and the amount of support he has garnered.
