Posting privileges under multiple usernames

[Steven_Draker]

From another thread:

 

Daddy Sez: You know creating a 2nd Username, just to make a negative review doesn't cut it for me. Do it again and I'll take out all your Usernames. You are dismissed with prejudice.

 

Wouldn't be easier to remove the posting privileges under multiple usernames for all?

 

We've seen an increasing trend the last few weeks (not always with the best intentions) and several others are tempted to/are doing so just to stir up trouble.

[Diverdan]

I agree, Steven... I wish Daddy would police the forum more and eliminate all multiple names for the same user. No good has ever come from this situation and a lot of harm has been done.

I disagree and so do the other four screen names I use. Too tired to have them do it individually.

For Daddy, it's a damned if you do, damned if you don't situation. For every crackdown y'all complain about censorship and stuff. If he doesn't do it, well, you complain about that too.

 

It's also a bit of a "be careful what you ask for" situation. When we've done sweeps in the past, we invariably sweep up someone you wouldn't expect. (And then we're back to censorship complaints.)

 

Our position has always been that people can have multiple identities so that (for example) an escort who wants to mix it up in the politics section can do so without dirtying their working identity. If we let escorts do it, we have to let everyone do it. That's just fair.

 

The one constant, though, is that someone determined to make a jackass of themselves usually does, and invariably exposes themselves and totally makes a mess for themselves all on their own. We don't have to do anything but give them the rope to hang themselves.

 

So ... do we invest a shitload of effort to do something highly unpopular that won't actually solve anything or do we let y'all walk your own plank?

 

It's a perpetual connundrum. We usually err on the side of "I don't have time for this tonight".

L O L ..Just another day on Daddys! Take this site too seriously and they will definitely "take you away" !

I err on that side all the time.

 

This is a marvelous site, and free, and I'd never think of implying that you guys don't do enough.

[whipped guy]

First... The irony in this thead so far is beyond laughable... However, how laughable depends upon how long one has been here and/or how much past history they are familiar with.

 

Without mentioning names this place has been a much better spot to hangout when those with multiple screen monikers have either been shut out or have been put on time out... or have voluntarily given up their alter egos... and it us amazing how many dual personalities there have been!!! A veritable psychoanalyst's dream!!!

 

Still, one amusing anecdote... I didnt know it at the time, but a certain escort was using multiple screen names. I was with him one evening and he suddenly needed to get to his computer. No big deal as it only took a minute. However, I guess that I had made him so discombobulated (though I like to think so excited and revved up...LOL!) that he posted under the wrong name and totally blew his cover. Actually a friend knew that I was with him at the exact time of the posting and alerted me of the fact. Otherwise I would probably not have caught it myself.

 

So things usually come back to haunt one in such situations.

[uwsman2]

I think it is reasonable to use different screen names for reviews and for forum comments, and so I do that, but I always use the same screen name for each. One establishes an identity around here with one's screen name....

[Guest countryboywny]

I have never posted on the forum with any user name other than my own. .. even in the Politics forum. I do, however, post reviews under a different name because I value my privacy in who I see. That being said, I've never had the need to post a negative review, but if I did, I would probably use my screen name.

[Steven_Draker]

Since it was brought on two occasions, we are not talking about screen names in the Message Forum and the Review Site, which are two separate entities.

 

I was referring to multiple usernames in the Message Forum only.

+1....I for one appreciate the explanation, and in many respects understand the position that Daddy is in. I was a bit naïve coming to the forum, and was just at a loss for words when it was explained to me that it was not uncommon on the forum for members to use multiple screen names. I can understand in the political section, where an escort might want to protect his working identity, or to post a review to protect your identity on who you are hiring makes sense, though when I see a forum members name attached to a review, it makes it more credible for me, but to use MSN's in the lounge to attack others, argue with yourself (yes that happens) and as DD mentions, just to stir up trouble, seems all so pathetic.

I know that, Steven. I just mentioned my practice on reviews in the interest of "full disclosure".

[Guest verymarried]

Could someone explain to me the advantage of having a different name in the reviews than in the forum. I had not used separate names and did not realize others did so. if most or a lot of people do so, it must serve a good purpose - but I haven't grasped the reason. Maybe if someone gave a scenario where the same name would be a problem, that might help me. Thanks

Some posters on the forum do not want to use the same screen name for posting reviews in order to remain anonymous among the escorts. If you use the same name both places, everyone can learn your peccadillos.

 

Also, some folks use different emails/nom de plume to hire escorts than they do to review them on Daddy's while using a third to post on the forums. But the NSA knows all, so they're only hiding from us. (Evil Laugh track insert here)

[whipped guy]

I selected my review moniker as an inside joke to the escort that I first reviewed... and it was a review of my first escort experience as posted in the other thread. I did not join the forum until many years later. At that time I thought that WG would be a more accurate description of my proclivities. Indeed an escort or two have been disappointed that my review moniker did not overtly indicate the WG seal of approval. Still a bit on anonymity is a good thing on occasion.

[Guest verymarried]

oh okay. thanks for clarifying. I'm not smart enough to figure out who I should hide something from. This is a pretty out-there subject to begin with I sort of feel a slight kinship with anyone who posts here. We are, more or less, in a similar boat and you like to think we'd be somewhat supportive of each other.

[MiamiLooker]

I’m surprised smendez1942 hasn’t posted on this thread, yet, or at least, given us a top 10 escort recommendation.

The screen name isn't needed anymore, since his original screen name is no longer on time out.

[Lookin]

Not sure that multiple monikers always lead to misfortune. Yours truly has been known to post under a different screen name *, but always for fun, and only when the urge is just too strong to overcome. Also, from the get-go, I didn't plan to hide it.

 

That's not to say that there isn't sometimes a malevolent motive behind a secret sobriquet but I think it takes a pretty talented and lucky poster to be all sugar and spice under one screen name and all acid and acrimony under another.

 

Plus, often some of the Forum's most entertaining threads have been those spent trying to figure out who's who. http://i1288.photobucket.com/albums/b489/fryerlawrence/Smileys/scratchinghead_zps01dd7fe7.gif

I'm in the camp of "the least censorship, the better." I would prefer banning only those who do things which are pretty outrageous, such as kiddie porn. The best way to deal with a troll is to ignore him. You don't always need to get the last word in.

Do you condone a behavior that consist in creating another screen name for the purpose described in my original post?

 

[whipped guy]

but to use MSN's in the lounge to attack others, argue with yourself (yes that happens) and as DD mentions, just to stir up trouble, seems all so pathetic.

When the "two posters" are actually the same individual it is initially risible... and especially when they argue and or respond to each other. Still, while one almost can be in awe regarding the ingenuity involved in creating such a scam, in the final analysis it is really quite sad...

[Lookin]

I have heard through normally reliable channels that some poor souls who took Lookin at his word and clicked on his link while logged in were not, as promised, taken directly to my few modest posts. He tries so hard, bless his heart, and no doubt he is prostate with embarrassment.

As is sometimes required, I have now taken matters into my own hands and ask those who have any remaining interest in my modest posts to merely click on my screen name to see the lot.

 

Over the years, it has occurred to me to attempt to engage Lookin in a little light banter, as some suggest other conjoined posters have done. I don't rule it out, but I must admit to a concern that a wee bit of licentiousness might rear its unwelcome head and that Lookin may not be able to keep his hands off my Heine.

 

And, entré nous, that could lead to some rather unfortunate Board dynamics.
