A Proposition - 9/1/2011 4:40:20 PM

Status: offline 		I'd be very interested to know how the Dominant women here (as well as the other folks who frequent this board) feel about a possible addition to the FAQ thread. 

It seems that we still have a number of folks that really don't understand that this is a discussion board and not a place to put a personal ad.  I know, I know.  That information is already placed in the guidelines for the general forum, but somehow, people can't make the connection.

Yes, I know what you are probably thinking right now.  We already have to tell people constantly to read the FAQ in the first place.  I agree.  That is true.  However, if we added it here as well, at least we would have one reference point.  At the very minimum, we could at least copy/paste the section from the FAQ so folks can see that there personal ads do not belong here.  Some folks don't seem bright enough to translate what we have now.  (Are there any Mistresses here into X?)  Perhaps we just need a little more in this area.

What are your thoughts on the matter?

What might work is "No Personals Ads in the Forums" in bold just below the "New Post radio button in the forum. That would be hard to miss. Just a thought

Not just men I fear... spambots... webcam strippers...

I don't think it could hurt to add it, whether it will help who knows?

Status: offline 		I'm all for it. However, it, or Mummyman's idea, won't make any difference. This is a discussion forum so it is self explanatory that it is for discussion not for personals. The people who overlook this bit of obviousness are highly unlikely to pay any attention to any FAQ thread or notices on their screen.

The best thing we could do is to just ignore and report...but we all know we won't.

Status: offline 		As above; no harm in putting it in politely for the squeaky-clean newbies: 'Newcomers can post a brief auto-bio on 'Introduce yourself', not here.
However, also as above and as we've seen, most think 'FAQ' is just another word for 'fwap' ;-) But since a significant portion of users don't have English as a first language, it helps to also spell it out as 'Frequently Asked Questions' or 'Common Questions and Answers', as well as a helpful 'READ BEFORE POSTING' command. I would also suggest taking out the 'Top' prefix since it has BDSM significance ;-)

Thanks for trying to make the forums even niftier, LP.

Some do, many don't. Just like many do not read terms of service, warranties, copy writes on movies and cds and software, etc. This isn't true of just this site but many, many, many(add about a million more manys) things. It is a nice thought that it would change things, but I sadly don't think it would. People have a habit of only seeing what they want to and complaining later about things they should have known to begin with.

This!

But yeah, I don't think the offenders either read the guidelines, regardless of where they are placed, or give a shit about any guidelines. They are thinking with their dick and the dick doesn't do much reading of anything that doesn't please the dick.

That's because you are a switch.  If you were a sub, you'd never follow orders.
