This site has been around for a few years now, and it hasn't imploded due to the lack of such a section. You want to post on a section like that, go to a site that has it. The mods aren't going to go to all the trouble of creating a new section because one person, who has been here a whole whopping three days, thinks we should have it.


sighs

i asked why a section didn't exist, i'm not championing the cause of a new section. also, why do you and others feel the need to constantly point out the fact that i'm new, as if it makes me somehow inferior to you? it's rather obnoxious.



My apologies to Chi, I am reopening this, only because I wanted to respond on behalf of the site.

If my understanding of the OPs statement, this would be a rant and rave about less than positive meetings.

Other users have said, well, don't mention names, etc of the users for individual threads and that is correct.

Let me give a few scenarios of what MIGHT be said.

" I met with this dude, and he couldn't use a flogger. I wanted thuddy and he gave me stingy. I uttered a safe word and he didnt stop. This guy is a fake wannabe."

"This woman promised me things for tribute that she never delivered in the manner I was expecting"

"This person was grumpy and silent our whole meeting, nothing like they seemed on phone/mail etc."

Those are all varying degrees of non positive impressions. So 20 people write the Op and ask,"who the fuck doesnt know how to use tools in your opinion" or 5 write the OP about any of them, and say, spill in private, who was it?

Those 5 tell 5 and so on and so on. Now, even though xuser didnt like stingy, yuser likes it but she heard z was a big ol fat fake. So then, it is blacklisting a user to others.

And have a whole section devoted to non productive meetings? And how ugly would we let one user talk about another, even with no names?

http://www.collarchat.com/fb.asp?m=1163969

What might have turned out not so good for you, might be just what someone else is looking for, or someone might put something in there about a meet with you, and another user drops contact based on what they find out is about you in private mail.

We DO have a positive experiences section about positive meets :). I hope this shows you some possibilities of what might go awry with a section devoted to bad experiences. The only people that would go there would be ones to post that they are unhappy with a member. I don't think there would be a lot of people just reading it. And if everyone thought there might be snark here, can you imagine if someone said something bad about someone and another decided that for some reason, they thought the OP was muttering bs? Can you imagine the snark and ugliness between members and the resultant gold love notes to follow?

Im unlocking the thread so I can put this on, (my apologies again Chi :) ) but although there may also be salient points as to the merit of such a category, I cannot imagine that ever becoming a category or devoted area on the forums, therefore, I cannot see many replies after this one. ( I might be wrong, who knows.)

Other users are correct, people post in the I admit thread about all kinds of things, (its because they are admitting it lol) so if you felt led to post about a particular meet, I would say there is a place there for it.. I cannot guarantee how the post would be received because would be less than glowing about another member, but, that is where it would go, WITH NO NAMES, IDENTIFYING INFORMATION, OR BREAKING TOS with any possible accusations about them.

ok, so i got the jist of the wanted catagory wrong. i thought the op wanted a general rant and rave thread, which i have seen work very well on other threads, not a negative experiance on meets section.

i still think some of the attitude in this thread was out of order though.

Sure was!

A general Rant/Rave thread though = good idea.

Bad Experiences Thread = Bad Blood = not so good.
Too much scope for finger pointing, ambiguos accusations and general confusion.

Just going to say I'm glad to see the thread opened again. Agree with the idea or not, I didn't see anything wrong with people talking to each other. Deciding the topic was closed when, if I'm not mistaken, no posts had to be taken away, well.........

I agree. Too much of it is subjective. I met a ton of guys that I thought were flaming asshats or that I thought had no idea about the reality of a D/s relationship. But, I'm also sure that there's someone out there somewhere that loves them and thinks they're wonderful.

There were a lot of guys that I liked, that everyone else thought were flaming asshats. Probably why I'm a hardcore single now, and everyone else is in a relationship :)

because most people just don't find whining attractive. Those who give rants on here are the same every single time.....that everyone is a fake, everyone wants money, so and so is a bad bad person, etc....

It is subjective..........much like some of the posts on this thread are.

Some read and thought snark....others did not.

Nothing disappeared via moderation so........

Another thing I realized yesterday when reading this thread, how gender plays a role in that perception.

okay, i get it. people are not mature enough to not black list each other here, and no one wants the ensuing mess.

Obviously you have not been here long and you haven't seen the posts that read "How do I blacklist someone?", "How do I get this person arrested?", "This person is bad and everyone should know about it", blah blah blah

It doesn't just happen on message boards. One of the biggest problems (I've seen) in Munch and other such groups, is the number of those who backlist others and how easy it is for an otherwise harmless but sociallyinept individual to get an unearned bad reputation; all the while the person I've known to be a predator is the stand up fav of the group. People are weird.
