There are some, like in the case of CM where it is apparent they are going through an episode. Admins and mods have been dealing with it for years. They can see the signs. Instead of being PC, in my opinion, they should be pro-active.

Although I will say part of the problem is people not reporting the posts to mods and instead lapping up the drama themselves because they think it is funny. It is for these reasons admins need to be pro-active. But more people need to report things. Another unpopular opinion to some who feel a poster using the report button is also causing drama.

As for Twitter, use it for screening all the time but you just came up with a cross platform shit disturbing post that was closed. That is what I am talking about. If you want to support or denounce people on Twitter, do it on Twitter. Bringing twitter posts over here to laugh at them like you do Stephina or to big them up like you did with Minx, has no place here on TERB and is nothing to do with "screening". You know it and I know it.

The war between indies only supporters and agency only supporters between SPs and hobbyists, needs to be squashed and instead we need to turn this board into being an overall industry supportive systems. There is enough room for everyone to find what they want and this board needs to allow for that instead of trying to tell others who to book, how to book, what to pay, etc. There is a difference between giving opinions on the options and just blatantly trying to limit the options because they don't appeal to you personally.

And of course you have the right to your opinion still. Why would you think otherwise?
As much as I may disagree with someone's post, I have never reported anyone. Yes, if I were a mod, a constant reporter would arouse my ire. Again you make a claim of CM's mental status and unless you have proof, this I believe is very unfair. I do not know the man but only to say unless you are a licensed professional, that is again an unfair accusation.

I won't state my thoughts on a closed thread. Yes, I'll keep my opinion to myself.

Please re-read my post. I have dealt with him on another board. He admitted to his issues. I wouldn't just blindly throw someone under the bus. I didn't think you would think I was that type of person.

However, this is an example why communicating with the mods (through the report function because that is what they prefer) is so important. They need to know some of this info. Those threads that CM gets into just flare his mental health issues. Mods won't always know this unless it is reported.

People need to get out of their that the report button is a censor button or a "bad" button. It is a useful tool that is actually needed.

PS - I realize now how it may have looked but I was not thinking at all about baiting you to talk about that thread. I didn't even think not to talk about it because it was closed. You are right on this and I was wrong for bringing it up.

I just thought, knowing our relationship, I would be safe to bring up an actual real world example for proper clarity. It was coming from a positive place attempt. I'm sorry if you feel/felt otherwise.

Not to worry, I don't get slighted or take offense that easily, you know that by now. It's just discussion after all.

Why not? The function is there for a reason, so long as it is not abused. I've reported several, usually with good reason, and many of those posters have since been banned or at least suspended, again with good reason.

unless you are a trained professional to claim someone has a mental illness is unfair and to place that responsibility on an Admins lap is also wrong.
Perhaps, but this isn't exactly a court of law where one's mental competency need be demonstrated. Troublesome, inappropriate posting that serves only to troll or ignite drama should be all a moderator or board admin needs to take action.

Phew! Dodged a bullet.

Goodbye lounge and political forums.

Seeing this makes me feel a little old, I have been on Terb since 2001 and even remember the Alt Binary and Starlight Blvd days before Fred made it Terb. Fred was the kindest person, he let me advertise for free for my first month and gave me a lot of advice when I first started, even putting me in touch with a senior SP he knew to give me the lay-of-the-land.
Happy Anniversary Terb, I look forward to seeing you continue to grow.

Then you'd need one for every fetish/preference.
Nope. The number of posts regarding fetishes and preferences do not come close to that for Asian providers.

Also, fetishes and preferences may be provided by any SP, regardless of race, so there'd be overlap.

OH shit, my apologies. I thought you were referring to CanadaMan! Crimson, I will agree based on my unprofessional opinion, something is amiss.
No No. Crimson Mire. LOL.

There are a lot of CMs on here though now that I think about it. LOL.

LOL same here. I was like OMG can’t believe Jessica is this brutal with him and he never seems to go after people. Glad she cleared that up because he admitted he had some condition on the spectrum however I never found him problematic but unique perspective. Well maybe his taste in music is bit questionable:p j/k

However, just because someone has some type of mental issue doesn’t mean they shouldn’t participate in this forum unless it is clearly damaging to them or they are being toxic to other. I bet if we psychoanalyze each one of us we would probably uncover majority have some type of mental issue and fall outside the norm lol

Happy 20th Terb...I've been on for 17 years. I still can't believe my luck when I found the Board. No more looking up escorts on Yellow Pages or classified pages of the Toronto Sun. The Lounge was OK, but the gold was in the reviews section. Thanks to everyone for the sincere reviews over the years. Many great SP's and MP's have come along, and some great Board buddies to share PM's with...what ever happened to Ralph Furly?

Slowed down a bit in my mid-60's but the urges still pop up.

Mongrel has not posted for 10 years but last logged on Dec 26 2019. The Gene Kelly account no longer exists
He was very helpful with Asian recommendations, but his personality got way too much to handle.

Somebody exposed his real identity, so most seasoned hobbyists know his full name and what he looks like. I've seen him in person a lot of times. He's a quiet, awkward, older, geeky type of guy that can't put down his electronic devices lol. I did initially feel bad for him for getting outed, but then I heard about him allegedly forcing and trying to force SPs to give him BBFS. One of them exposed him for it on the blue board.

I think his wife found out about his lifestyle, she left him not too long ago. He now lives out West apparently.

I wonder what my registration number is since I joined in 2001 when the board was rebranded.
