Author Topic: Changing What Escorts Are Called in Reviews  (Read 9584 times)

Just calm down, stop building issues out of nothing and let them deal with the real problems that they have in keeping the site operating. Time for discussing fine points of detail will be later. Although for what it is worth I think if they run the site they can impose their views and if you do not like you can go.

1.  I'm perfectly calm, thanks for your concern though.

2. This finer point of detail isn't of my creation.  You want the new team to sort out the big stuff first?  Ok, fair enough.  It's reassuring to see that things aren't so bad that there isn't time to figure out how the autocensor works and ban words that one individual "doesn't like".

A swear box maybe :rolleyes:   
I don't want to change it.  It works because it is what it is

I’d be happy to make a donation to help fund the site  :hi:

Perhaps re read what you put, not coming over as calm.  That one individual is part of the new ownership team and can do what they like - I suspect he was investigating how everything worked and tested what he came across.  Just give them space to work it out, deal with the technical stuff and find their own rhythm as to how to run things.  I am sure all will be good in the end, our support can make that easier and in the end build a better forum.

This just stinks of feminism and PC culture infecting the roots of this site. Any kind of censorship against free speech is bending to the will of this progressive, PC, feminazi, victim hood upside down society we are all living in.
Where everyone is offended by everyone and everything.
I thought of all the places I could escape this, would be this forum. Where we are grown men who fuck whores and like talking about it.
Surely this kind of bs is what one would find on fucking not allowed. Where emotions and feelings rule over logic and common sense.

My reply on the other thread -
What I still don't really get is why the initial outrage about the word being censored (which one of the Admins has explained he just doesn't like the word) but moreover why people continue bringing it up and trying to bend the rules like teenage children  :unknown:

Apart from this word i'm not aware of any other restrictions having been applied so perhaps people should be thankful that it's largely business as usual  :drinks:
Any new owner and set of Admin's were always going to have a slightly different tack to Old Admin and like you say if people aren't happy then they can simply not use the site

It's surely not that big a deal  :unknown:

I'm not outraged, Christ, the hyperbole is strong today.  I'm irked.  Why can I say something genuinely offensive, why can I use the word nigger?  Why can I call all and sundry fucking cunting bastard shits but on a website dedicated to the reviews of prostitutes, I cannot use a shortened form of that word?  I can say hussy, hooker, brass, whore and it's derivative hoor... but I can't say Sex Worker.  Why not?  Is there a reason?  Is there a carefully constructed code of conduct I can read to know where the boundaries are?  No.  There is one member of the admin team who admits that the only reason the word is banned is because he (or she) doesn't like it. 

Then there's the old line of "if you don't like it go somewhere else".  Well I do like it here, or I did before the change in ethos started to creep in.  But there is no change in ethos, according to the site owner... while his too many cooks run around fiddling with the ingredients and threatening to spoil the broth.  I'll wait and see how it turns out but I have to be honest, I'm not hopeful.

Be careful, shouting the odds over how to run the place after just six weeks makes you look more and more like a banned member with a new profile - something that someone else has already remarked on.

Iv been a member for 9weeks but whatever. I don’t care how I look or how what I say comes across.
I’m just making my own observations on a “free” forum. You can speculate wether im a banned member returning all you want, I know the truth. I found this site whilst looking for my first Asian massage. If I have to be investigated to prove this is my only and first account then so be it. What do you mean somebody else has already remarked on?
Also I was not shouting any odds or trying to say how to run this site, again just making observations and comparisons with my own opinions.
So only members with high post counts and long tenures of membership are allowed to voice their opinion on this matter?  :unknown:

..and so to the inevitable 'falling on the sword'. I used to do this regularly on forums many moons ago until I learnt the futility of it. An inflated view of  my own self importance! Even if there is support for your view it will not provoke mass Kamikaze action.

There is only ever one winner on a forum and that is the Admin ... even if they are wrong  :)

Chill out fella.

It would appear to be a preference of the new owner of this site  :hi:

So does this mean that we can't use the words Prostitute, Hooker or Whore any more in any context, whether it's in a review or a post? Makes me wonder why that decision was made?

I don't like the word Sex Worker, it reminds me of the word Social Worker and comes across very formal and constraint. :(

As I understand it, only one word is not acceptable - the familiar shortened variable of ‘prostitute’ (pro ssie) which will default now to prossie.

Yes, I have noticed that and they didn't change automatically like the "other p word", so that's good to know.  :hi:

Yeah, just the word "ρrossie", but if you put it in quote marks it works OK

Seems pointless to me if it works with the quote marks. Surely if you wanted it completely removed then the word with any quoting around it should also be blocked. Anyway, it is what it is, so no big deal. :hi:

That’s one thing I find weird about the new policy, whatever it is. Changing the word to “sex worker” is clearly a big change to the intent the original poster evidently had. It sticks out as it’s clearly something the poster wouldn’t have written. So why not just change it to “prostitute” which is what it’s an abbreviation for anyway? I suspect there would be fewer worries about that looking like a PC change.

Actually that's a good point and good suggestion, personally I don't have any issue with the shortened "P" word and would have thought that whore was more derogatory but we all have our own different foibles

From the context I assume Hobbit actually typed the words "Sex" and "Worker" here, but it would have appeared the same if he had typed the banned word which we cannot use, spelled pee ar owe ess ess eye ee. This confuses my ageing brain.  :(

I appreciate the efforts of those who have taken over at short notice and wish them good luck with the tech efforts, which I unfortunately cannot help with, but I think what has got some people hot under the collar was the unannounced auto-correction to a more "PC" term of a fairly innocuous abbreviation.

A small price to pay for the benefits of the site, though.

I always use the word pro$.$ie when the owner of the site tells me I can’t then I will stop simple as that really  :hi:

I believe the correct term is "women who work as sex workers".

The thought behind it being that they are first and foremost human beings, and what they may do for a living does not define them.

I find sex-worker really puts me off. Makes them sound very dull, doing the most dreary job on earth. I generally find them good fun. Someone else suggested strumpet, a grand old word, as is trollop. I usually call those I see girls (if they're young) or ladies if they're older. Actually I find most of the people I do business with, specially the ones with fancy titles like Chief Executive far more stupid, self-centred, boring and dreary than the ones I do the nasty with.
