This argument doesn't hold water.  If a person clicks the "Report User" button there are already options where the person can be reported for inappropriate information, illegal activities, scamming, underage, and vulgarity.  Those options are already in place for anyone wanting to mis-use them.  Adding one more option for not self-designating as a pro-domme would not be any more likely to be mis-used than any of the other options already available.  If someone was going to make a false accusation simply for spite the means are already in place and it simply is not happening.

I fail to see the problem here.
People whon don't self designate, but are reported as pro-dommes, would be dealt with accordingly.

That right there is the problem.

Let's say you're a generic member of this site. Let's say you send me a message. Let's say I ignore it, because as the generic member of this site you have not read my profile.

Let's say this makes you angry. So what do you do? You report me as an un-self-designated pro-domme, and I am 'dealt with accordingly'.

Does that have anything to do with whether I'm actually a pro-domme?

No.

Member-flagging is only appropriate when the members can be trusted. I do not trust the members of this site to flag accurately.

would be nice if Collarme had a profile designation for Pro Dommes to select so I could simply filter them out of my search results. I never thought it would be so hard to find a lifestyle Domme for a LTR in Vegas....
Would be a hell of a lot easier if I could simplify the search

You would think that if there have been 124,097,235,682,574,297 people that have already had that brilliant idea then somewhere, some time, some one would actually get bashed upside the head by the proverbial clue-by-four and start to think that maybe...just maybe...it is a problem that needs to be seriously looked into rather than something to be used as a means to ridicule the problems of male subs.  It is very interesting that each time such a thread is started an overwhelming number of responses (usually somewhat derogatory in nature) to the OP come, not from other male subs, but from female dominants, female subs, and male doms...all people that do not normally have to deal with the problem on a day-to-day basis.  But they are all more than ready, willing, and able to come here and trash talk the people that do deal with it.

Ideally, those who are mature-ish and have a clue will self select.

Why put the onus of selection on already overworked moderators?

people join the site, having presumably read the TOS..

Why should the mods do the selection process for these (supposedly intelligent) adults?

FFS, why dont some of these cry babies take responsibility for THEIR OWN CHOICES?  you dont like the profile? BLOCK it... simple, neh?

Yeah, you're only the 124,097,235,682,574,297th person to have that brilliant idea.

You are leaving out the number of responses to this whine detailing why it probably isn't a good idea.

It is very interesting that each time such a thread is started an overwhelming number of responses (usually somewhat derogatory in nature) to the OP come, not from other male subs, but from female dominants, female subs, and male doms...all people that do not normally have to deal with the problem on a day-to-day basis.  But they are all more than ready, willing, and able to come here and trash talk the people that do deal with it.
I think it is interesting that you think female subs wouldn't have to deal with this. If I were currently looking, I would have to go through the same list of women to find a partner. And since my current search is set to female dominants in the area, I can safely say, it's easy as shit to spot the pros and fakes. But if it is really a problem for you, try going out into the real world. Lots of ladies out there if your willing to put in the time to look.

Not true actually, THB... the real ladies run AWAY from the whiners and do-me dudes!!

But then a moderator/admin/etc could look at your profile, see that it says nothing about pro-domming, and ignore the complaint. In any event where someone is clearly a professional, but hasn't ticked the flag. The only moderator action needed would be changing the flag and sending a canned message mentioning that it has been done, and pointing out why, unless someone is persistently abusing the system, nothing beyond that is needed.

Those who are professionals but choose not to write it on their profile? I don't see the problem. Let them stay un-flagged if they want. That's pretty impossible to enforce anyways. But what it will do is burden such people with lots of annoying emails to read through because they're looking for clients and advertising otherwise. Having to deal with the high volume of unwanted mail seems punishment enough >:D
