Disagreement, courteously expressed, is part of civilised discourse. Those that descend gratuitously to vulgar abuse say more about themselves than about anything else. Indeed isn't abuse from behind internet anonymity what's known as trolling?
Most people on this board are friendly and intelligent, and engage in constructive and often amusing interchange.
There are a few who very readily descend to criticism of others, often in quite unpleasant terms. I think that is a pity.
I was amused by this clearly bogus Adult Work profile, and the recurring idiocies of this kind of scam. I thought that others might be too. That was why I drew attention to it.
I think the chances of anyone acting on my "tips" and improving their Private Gallery scammer profiles as a result are slim. And the world won't come to an end if a few do. Frankly, most of us can spot a scam profile a mile off, and will still be able to do so even if the scammers start following my "advice".
Others may disagree. If they do, it would be nice if they did so courteously. It might also be pointed out that, when people express disagreement, light-hearted or well-directed shafts are usually more effective than coarse bludgeoning.
There aren't that many scam profiles on AW anyway, and AW itself is pretty good at kicking them off.
As for being a "non-reviewer", I make a decent contribution to these boards, in my posts and in the threads I have started, some of which have run for a considerable time. There are other "non-reviewers" who make similar contributions. Reviewing is not compulsory, nor is it a condition of membership of this site.
I have for a while thought of starting a thread about this, and will do so in a moment. So any comments about the previous paragraph might be best left for that thread.
