Addressing Multiple Accounts and Bashing Others

Lately it seems that 2 big issues have reared their ugly heads on this board. Duplicate accounts and "bashing" others. We, the admin, have decided to address this so everyone is on the same page regarding the rules and expectations of members on this board.

First, dupe accounts. There are a lot of reasons that duplicate accounts exist from an error with the board software/hardware to wanting to be anon in order to visit the Curious section and tons of reasons in between. However, lately, there are some members who got it in their head that after getting banned it's perfectly OK to make a new account and continue on with the bad behaviour.

I know nobody reads the rules, however, we have always had a clause about this. There have been some instances in the past where we allowed a banned member back under another account to see if he/she learned a lesson...everything done here is at the Admin discretion. However, it's clear that our goodwill is being abused so we're going to have to tighten up on this rule.

IF your account is banned for any reason and you deem it necessary to make a new account and come back, you will be banned permanently. Period. Apparently this is what a lot of members wanted, congrats, you've got it. Now you know the consequences if you want to play this game.

Second, bashing others. There are members out there that think it's OK to bash other members for how they post. We've loosened the rules, but there's quite a few members who ironically enough are contributing to the problems they're complaining loudest about.

Bottom line, there's NO RULES on how another member has to enjoy FreeOnes. NONE, zip, zilch, zero. And guess what? Nobody gets to dictate the behaviour of another member either.

Everyone is welcome to FreeOnes regardless of their english skills. Not everyone is a native english speaker, not everyone will write clear and fluent english. THAT'S OK! The only thing that matters is they're contributing to this board in the best way that they know how.

Additionally, there's absolutely NO RULES on how someone posts in general aside from not spamming. If a member wants to write a novel on why they like Lisa Ann, go for it. If they want to write 3 words to convey their feelings on a subject, that's OK too. If they want to post in smileys, memes, youtube videos, or whatever...as long as it doesn't outright violate our board guidelines, by all means. If that's fun for them? More power to them.

If you don't like how another member posts and you see they created a thread? Skip it. If you see they answered in a thread you are participating in, skip their contribution. You really don't like them? Put them on ignore. Want to ignore this advice? Try it and lets see what happens. :cool:

I love the sound of crickets. It reminds me of the good old days when Cartoon Network would close down and hand over to TNT. Which if it was a Friday (over here), meant Nitro!! Even the little bit of production music that played when the black and white letters were bouncing around would get me excited.

Block the IP of multiple accounts could be an option.

They do monitor that kind of thing. What I am afraid of is the ultimate option, no chat. Post your pix and links and let the models sell their stuff. No boards about politics or sports or casual discussion. Just show the titties. This is not out of the realm of possibilities. I come to believe that many in the chat sections don't spend a dime on content. It's their interaction with people not having to leave their homes. Nothing more. Freeones is a business and not an entitlement to the cyber community. Board monitors are not paid but have to communicate with those in the office doing things that generate revenue. Cut the chat bullshit interruptions on these paid people and there is more time to generate more titty content to be purchased. These shit slinging and pissing contests contribute nothing to this company.

Easy amigo. As always your points are well thought out, but you're jumping into the deep end of the cynicism pool. We'll probably never get any confirmation of the validity of your points or the ones I'm about to make, but lets take a breath here.

Like any "cold call" business, they don't need 75%, 50% or even 15% to pay for content. Without knowing or caring what the answer actually is, I estimate a hoped for 3-5% pays for this board. And that includes hassles, which I don't think are hassles anyway. As always I could be wrong, but I'd bet that this board, especially with the addition of the "Curious" section pays it's rent handily. And I can say that I've spent some bucks that I wouldn't have spent if I didn't come here at all, or only came here once. It's kind of like the music piracy issue of the '90s. I used to sit down to the computer with a full pack of cigs and a fresh pot of coffee and be one of the people the music industry paid millions to stop. And they never took a single moment to realize that by being able to well and truly sample music that I was never going to buy, I bought music that I hadn't known about a week before. I spent more money than I would have if music "piracy" never existed.

I don't think our community is going anywhere anytime soon. And one more thing that I seem to be the only fuckin' one to notice, if banned members are going this far out of their way to rejoin the board, then that's how seriously we do take our community. Petra and Anders can minimize it, laugh about it and blow it off all they want, but it ain't nothing.


Oh and PS....that was funny, what I posted above. You couldn't give me a courtesy laugh? Asshole. :nono:

:D

This happens already, but we have to be very careful with it.

As much as I dream about doing away with the Talk section, it's not going to happen. So don't worry overly much with that.

Well, how about this. Why don't you pay the board server bill and maintenance cost out of your own pocket for 1 month? Then you can come to all the conclusions you want about how much it costs to run this show.

THIS is where those crickets are going to come in.

Well, I already did come to the conclusions I want, and I did it for free. And since you just said the same thing to Bob that I said, if you just put me in my place, thanx for the comfortable chair.

Courtesy laugh? You know be better than that. I'd much rather you feel my gentle touch under the table while you're dealing.

These shit slinging and pissing contests contribute nothing to this company.

They also contribute nothing to the quality of the talk section. In reality, these things have a way of working themselves out. The ones who enjoy trolling, baiting and flaming will continue to do so and those who find it abhorrent will find other interests. Not the end of the world....life goes on.

Block the IP of multiple accounts could be an option.

a potential problem with doing that is the possibility (however unlikely) that the ip address is used by multiple persons, like on a college campus. i've had problems, for example, posting on wikipedia (don't ask), because someone else on the campus i was at posted rubbish or was trolling and so wiki temporarily blocked the ip address. of course making your own account would have gotten around that particular problem but you see why, as Petra said, they would have to be very careful regarding doing that.
