TheHeretic -> RE: Forum Minotaur... WTF??? (3/13/2014 7:43:38 PM)

We had a minotaur here in the forums once. I seem to recall that it didn't go well. lololololololololol.





DaddySatyr -> RE: Forum Minotaur... WTF??? (3/13/2014 7:52:36 PM)

I know this isn't really a serious thread but, as a naturally curious man, I have some questions.

Are these mentors ... like just to guide people on how to post on the forums or are they willing to actually take someone under their wing; go the distance?

The idea of mentorship has been kicked around here for years and I think it's a great one but when you look at the things that some of these newbs post, it becomes apparent (at least to me) that they're more in need of the latter type of mentor than the former.

Put all the lipstick you want on a pig, I ain't kissing it until someone at least turns it into a frog.

Basically I feel the same.
Also- kudos and more power to whomever wants to mentor, that sounds like a huge headache to me.

Oh, wait! I'd be willing to mentor someone but, the latter type of mentoring, like I said.

ETA: I should expand upon this.

I would be more than happy to take people under my wing and have offered to do so (privately) many times but, I was really looking for clarification on the "Forum Mentor" thing.

I mean; what's the point of teaching people how to "fit in" on the forum when their posts almost scream about over-all inexperience and (lifestyle) immaturity? Sure, we can "mold" them into "the kind of poster" that fits in here but why not "mold" them into being a good, active, useful member of our society, as a whole (and the whole forum thing will take care of itself)?

They'd never give the likes of you the proper permits for that anyways.



I'm not really an "askerer" of permission type.

Not when you live in Hawaii and all your buddies are Hawaiian's that think sharks are largely misunderstood docile creatures, and insane PHD's that are very susceptible to off the wall bizarre ideas offered by a charismatic evil genius.

...which gives me plenty of time to practice my freestyle in water wings and up that speed a little bit.



Practice would be good. Remember to fill the water wings with water, because the ones I'll be putting you in will be as well. The average human swims 8' per second, a shark swims at 25-30. You'll get a 3 minute head start to get to Exile Island, also known as "where is the ice pack and ibuprofen island", there you will be kept as my odalisque until such time that you escape.

Also, I just googled this:

I don't need them to shoot under water, just shoot you as you contemplate your escape on the shore.

So it's no surprise that I'm the dingy one of the group at times...
So what mentor thing are y'all talking about?

Just by reading the thread I can say this: there have been times we've tried to warn or
help newbs out but we usually get cussed out or told we are ganging up on them.

The search function that doesn't work, is one of the reasons this place is a labyrinth.
I have entered words before that I Knew were in posts I was looking for, only to be told no results. then when I actually do find the post, the original words I was trying to search with are all right there pretty as a picture...[>:]

Not a huge headache. Basically, all that happens is that new posters get a form Welcome letter outlining TOS and some other hints about Forum Etiquette.
Hoping that it will help a few newbies become regular posters by avoiding assholic mistakes.




LadyConstanze -> RE: Forum Minotaur... WTF??? (3/14/2014 5:34:53 AM)

Now I think the Forum Mentors have absolutely failed...

I mean look at this nice gent http://www.collarchat.com/m_4656551/tm.htm

Still no milk! He must be so disappointed!




Blonderfluff -> RE: Forum Minotaur... WTF??? (3/14/2014 5:51:37 AM)

Alas. Most will not be helped.

You are a mentor, seriously, you should shake your boobies his way, he might reward you with a glimpse or a video ;)

I'm way to discriminating when it comes to showing my boobies. Besides, he'd slap a cyber milk machine on em!!!

ExiledTyrant -> RE: Forum Minotaur... WTF??? (3/14/2014 8:20:54 AM)

There is a plethora of reasons people come here. The big reason I came here, a long time ago, because I’ve always been a freak… I should stress the always part… and after studying more fascinating sailor knots I stumbled across Shibari, and as one thing invariably leads to another, I realized there was a vocabulary attached to freaks like me and low and behold there were colonies of freakazoids, a lot like me. So I came to this site at its inception and lurked for a long time, acquiring vocabulary, and learning knew things. I discovered a lot that resonated with me.

One day I saw something on the forum scroll that actually made me a bit afraid for the OP. She was taking a dangerous leap into the unknown with no safety net in sight or in place. So, I made a new profile, intended to make one post, and be done with the profile. I wrote a scenario detailing the inherit dangers in her actions, scared the hell out of her, and an ocean of advice for her flowed into the thread spurred on by the horror I presented. I enjoyed the interaction and stayed.

I had a few advantages; I’m smarter than the average bear, I communicate well (unless the face to face meet has rolling subtitles and then all my bad spelling and grammar becomes apparent), I was old enough to have restraint and put forethought into my responses, rather than knee jerk stupidity, and I am a great people watcher. Furthermore, I can, will, and do support anyone’s right to his or her opinion, unless it is tainted or inundated with stupidity, and I loath chest thumping one true-wayism idiots.

Had I had access to all of this in me early twenties, I would be much further along in WIITID, but as a 20-sumthin, I most likely would’ve made many mistakes like the 20-sumthins do when they come here. One of the consistent things that have put my man-panties in a twist repeatedly, for years, is the truculent nature of the self important posters. The cliquish imps that create their own set of rules around their bevy of boneheads with all their glorious post count that doesn’t mean dick. The TOS is being modified way too often to rein these life sucking sphincters in, because if you’re not a part of their exclusive ass sucking parasite clique, they don’t want you here. Cliques destroy communities.

What the wank-rabbit (bless their hearts) fail to realize is that we get yungins here because they are trying to understand themselves, get settled with their freaks, realize that their freaks aren’t bad, and are mired in a je ne sais quoi that they can’t escape, don’t want to escape, they just need to understand. We’ve all been there, none of us were born all knowing, we had a je ne sais quoi, and we came here and found the label maker 2000 that helped us get settled with it.

We do get overwhelmed with wank and belligerence… “tell me wot it feels like when I poke this in X” “How does, how is, show me them boobies!” “No one will fuck me because X” “No one— wah, wah, wah”. We get enough of those for us to expect the same when the avatar has a teeny tiny post count. Then in walks the clique squad trying to run the fucking show with their “play by my rules or we will all beat you up” bull shit.

Forum Mentors are in place to snatch newbies from the jaws of the protocol piranhas that are making their own rules, and the ever evolving TOS is to rein those fuck-heads in. If you’re so bitter and frustrated, just back away from the keyboard or blow the dog whistle; the giver of golden wedgies is usually prompt.

Now, do I think the Mentor Program is a good idea? Yes I do. Offering posting advice to newbies is a great thing. If they do not head that advice, I’ll bring the hot sauce for their Docent posting fantasy.

Do I think that after they have been mentored they should be thrown to the wolves to run with the pack or be slaughtered? Yes I Do!

Do I think [Awaiting Approval] should be changed to [3 days forced posting in P&R]? Yes I do!

SADIST!!!!! Evil cruel sadist!!!

I think we get newbie posters, frothy wank bunnies and trolls, newbie guys asking an innocent question, don't jump all over them, I'm with you on the BDSM thing, without it, I would always have wondered what is wrong with me.

The frothy ones, nope, we aren't their fetish delivery system and because they're into it and we're not, we're not all fakes (if it comes to us women, obviously we are also fat, ancient and bitter and all the rest)

The trolls - I like mine slightly grilled, with a bit of garlic bread and a green salad on the side...
