Has the 'Seeking Arrangement' thread gone?

[Jeffpike]

Can't seem to find it?

[tesla]

I suspect it now has select access as I can still see it in off topic main menu but not visible on page

Correct. It has always been in the off-topic section, and only visible to members who have made sufficient contribution to UKP, per Admin's discretion.

Really, well I cant view it now but could previously, but in the early hours I could see posters posting on it as the latest poster but when I clicked on the thread it said I couldn't access it. I can view everything else though that I could before. Maybe wrong of course but I cant see why admin would exclude me from viewing that one thread.

Maybe he's only given access to those who post regulary on the thread?

Which I haven't so yes that could be it.

[smiths]

MH has just posted on the SA thread on Off-Topic so I can see that but cant access the thread to see what was posted.

[CatBBW]

I can't see the thread at all.

Access to read (and see the existance of) that thread is dependent on whether an account has:
a) verified they are paid SA member
b) previously posted in the thread in the past 1 year
c) not UKP account I've tagged as service provider

Thanks for this confirmation.

How do I verify I am a SA member?

[OldAdmin]

How do I verify I am a SA member?

I send you a bunch of random characters (e.g. ??!!..), you edit your SA profile to add them, if the characters match up when I check the profile, that is confirmation you control that profile.
Will have to be premium / paid SA profile and not free one.

[Qwerty]

b) previously posted in the thread in the past 1 year

Does that mean there will be no new members in the existing thread?

Once again, appreciate what you're doing here, especially as you're not a SA user

Only if they prove their paid SA membership (as detailed above). 10-20 members have done so in past months.

This is to provide some protection against "sugar babies" trying to gain access to the thread. If the majority of you chaps don't care then I'll happily remove all restrictions and make it like any other thread (obviously that would be better for me due to less headache).

Sounds like a good idea what you have done but then SA is of zero interest me as my lack of posts on the thread show.

I think that you have the best interest of the punter at heart (as always), but you are going the extra mile for small benefit.  Getting access to off topic is non trivial for a pure SugarBabe. And anyway, even if one does, we are all pretty good at smelling out scammers.

Dont feel strongly, but I struggle to think managing this system should be near the top of your (or anyone's) to do list.

I for one, as of now would request you to maintain those restrictions, eventhough it will mean more work sorting things out for you (sorry for that)

[NigelF]

I agree with the rationale behind it and overall think it's a good idea but it is a little harsh on those (such as myself) who are unsure of whether to take the plunge and would like to be forearmed if they do. Having said that if you're wavering on whether to spend the £40 odd for a month then you probably already know that you're not that willing and you can be forearmed as soon as you join up. Nonetheless I'm not sure how regular/high number reviewers are likely to be infiltrators working on behalf of Sugar Babes. However I can see how someone with just access to off-topic might be, so I suppose creating another "tier" is a load of faff just to cater for people like me who are too cheap to pay for a month's subscription! Also, I'm still more of a 30 minute man rather than someone who'd like to get a great deal on an a couple of hours or an overnighter - i.e. I'm a right cheap bastard.

[fredpunter]

I think even one sugar babe or sa employee getting access to that thread and then posting about what they read on other forums would potentially have a significant effect on punters trying to use it.

I appreciate that there is extra work for admin and can only offer my heartfelt thanks for the trouble he goes to on our behalf.
 

[shagbambi]

I think it's a great idea and will lead to far more information being exchanged on that thread.  Thank you.

Totally agree. Many Thanks Admin

Pro's and cons with everything. The major con with this is that the thread is highly inspirational to convince non members of why they should join. If there are not new members joining then the thread may die a slow death.

[Qwerty]

OK, thanks (again) Admin, sounds perfect.

The way you put it before, it sounded like people had to fulfil all 3 conditions to be members

I'm with everyone else in favour of the restricted access - these restrictions are entirely reasonable.

[hungrypunt]

The restricted access is the best way to go, in my opinion Admin has got it bang on right. As for people who are wondering whether to be members of SA, and want to see the thread for advice I say, well its UKP not UKSA so make your choice and take the plunge like most did before that thread even started. There are other resources out there on  G  to help you make that decision you can use tho.

Thats part of the excitement, and those that say they are concerned about chucking 50 quid or so at a month, then ask yourself, are you really a "sugar" daddy anyway

Pay the money
Prove your a member
Get access to the thread
Enjoy
The more members weeding out scammers and such on the thread or in the wiki the better

I agree up to a point, but genuine members are not staying as members when they have arrangements set up.  I for one no longer pay monthly to SA because I have no need.  I have an arrangement, I have a couple of other girls who I am sure I could sort an arrangement out with if this fell through, so for a few months I am unlikely to "pay the money".  I moved from AW to SA because I wanted to see one girl regularly, so UKP was superb in giving me some useful info on what to do.

Would love to be a part of the thread - was setting up a meet and did a search on her number - turned out to be a pro escort.

Have you not read this thread in full??

The answer is already there.

[mcardle464]

I also agree with the restricted access conditions set up by Admin.  For the following reasons - they stop SugarBabes in general finding out things we are discussing.  They regard themselves as "not prostitutes" so for even one of them to find they are being discussed on a site called UKPunting would cause problems, as I expect some of them would try to "out" UKP members on the sugar babes sites in revenge. They already do this for people they regard as "cheap" which they call "salty".

But the main reason for limited access is so that we can identify and highlight scammers as a warning to the whole UKP/SA community.  Including those who have stolen money from UKP members.  If the scammers get wind of this they will disappear.  It sometimes takes time to identify a scammer from requests for information in the forum so having anybody have access is not a good idea.

Thanks to admin for the work he is putting in on this.

If you had read it then you would have noticed that Admin had suggested how you can get access to the thread. Why would you then post the above, when all you had to do was to contact Admin??

Get in touch with Admin, since you are paid up member.

I have to say as a relatively established member I would like access to the thread simply to find out more about SA before I actually decide to cough up and join it?

Contact Admin. Only he can decide if you are established enough.
