This in no way reflects on you personaly LP -strangely they were initials I used to use elsewhere- but your comment reagrding my bold.
I have had a peek around the site, and have noticed a reaction to such questions raised. and the 'pack' as hes been discribed, descending on the poster, telling him (invariably) that this is what he is looking for: wank fodder.
But how do we (the pack) know that this was the case?
Maybe self moderation in instances like this would help keep the boards alive, topical and fresh?
Allow a new question to grow for a while without judging the question by the gender/longevity of the poster?
I had a little look for a certain topic earlier, a 'search' as is often recommended. Plenty to be found, most of which was destroyed as a topic by this very 'pack' mentality.
lets all give a thread a chance... and if moderators are needed in some cases, it may be there... to allow something to develop, rather than be stifled at birth.

How do we know? High percentage rate of cause and effect. It's not an absolute. My personal estimation is that it's in the high nineties.
I will not speak for all women here, but I will tell you My personal experience. Some of My kinks, such as strap on play and My enjoyment of m/m sexual scenes, cause the crap in My mail to go up almost any time I respond to a thread on those topics created by a new poster. Most of the time, it's by the OP themselves. It's mail that I don't want.
I am by far *not* the only woman who has discussed this particular issue. We've had countless threads on the it. Most women just really don't want people asking us about our sex lives that aren't familiar to us. It's much more effective, for Me, to tell people straight from the beginning to tell people that My sex life isn't the business of somebody that I don't know.
Think about it in real life terms. How often do you walk up to a woman that you don't know and start talking to her about how you like to fuck? When you do, how does that go over? Does she sit and engage in a lengthy conversation with you about it?
Now, tell Me why you should expect that to be any different just because, instead of in person, you happen to be talking to women on the net?
I understand completely.
Although niether you (nor any woman/person) is being asked specifically to respond about your intimate and personal practices and prefernces in these threads.
Anyone can respond to any depth they chose, or not, of course.
That is anyones choice, and respected (by me) completely.
However, it was not the 'personal' I was refering to but the 'pack' who would kill a potentially intriguing thread with the "wank fodder" branding, many following suit to stem discussion, and I would have thought certainly placing a feeling of 'outsider' on anyone being brave enough to post for the first time.
There is no growth in the pack.
This in itself may be a reflection of some of the comments regarding Moderation techniques on this and other sites.
