Locking Threads for no apparent reason???
 

Why are some threads being hidden/locked for no apparent reason? Are there new new rules or more censorship here now? I mean this is a PORN forum, so kinda hard to make sense of censorship.

The following seem to be locked for no reason:

The Members Have Spoken... FTVX
Pamela
FTVGirls Alison / alisonangel.com
Question thread for Rob

I hope the person locking the threads has a sense of humor and locks this one.

but look at even this thread, its a complaint thread. The biggest reason why I didn't open a message board for ftv since I started the site was for the fact that people are mostly good and complaining and not discussing (and especially those who have extra time on keyboards).

Rob,
Sometimes people need to vent. Members care. I try not to write anything negative but as a human I have emotions about things I like. I really like this site.

Somebody bumps my car I want to kill them but really it's just a car.

Once a thread become to negative just don't read anymore. I'm sure it's better that I have a place to say "show more toes" than just saying to myself damn where are the toes and quitting the site.

What if members just start dropping and you don't know why. You gotta take the good with the bad and keep the threads open. Alison is an interesting exception. Does she really think ending a thread will erase her past.

Rob love you man.

This rant isn't directed against the OP or anyone in particular, it is my general opinion.

I think locking some threads or deleting certain posts is a good thing when they become focus points for irrationally negative posts. The FTVx thing is a good example, the reasoning for those updates has been explained, Rob's opinion of the quality of those updates has been explained, yet STILL people feel the need to complain about it, when the answer is real simple, if you don't like those updates, don't look at them. Pamela's thread is another example of irrational negativity. So she wasn't perfect, what was Rob supposed to do about it? Ship her off to Siberia? People need to be a little realistic about things things before they post sometimes, these are real women and yes, sometimes they do have scars, or tattoos, maybe she looks a little too skanky, or a little too much/too little body fat or something else the poster doesn't like, but really guys, is it THAT important. Once the model has arrived, unless the whole package is so flawed that she is useless, it is still a business and Rob still needs to shoot her. Just wait for the next update if the current model doesn't do it for you, you don't need to tell us about it, especially people don't need to to tell us that that particular model is why they are thinking about canceling or whatever.

It is not like Pamela was a hag or anything, maybe she had some little flaw that needed to be concealed, so what. When I see posts like that I think W...T....F....get a life dude.

One of the great things about FTV is that we get to see a wide diversity of real women here, there is no cookie cutter involved. People just need to understand that before posting and realize that not everything that appears here is going to be something they like.

I don't know, in my mind there is a difference between discussing what people liked or disliked about a model/update/shoot in a thread and complaining. I'm sure if the people dislike something that match, they'd email Rob about it, ala FTVx updates.

I guess I just don't think every post or thread has to be with rose colored glasses about how great every single thing FTV does is.

You could close this place down if you don't like how it's going? yes? no?

Agree with Natal
 

Natal has summed up my thoughts on this pretty well.
I have started to get irked by all the negatives repeated over and over regarding the FTVx updates. If people have followed this from the beginning, Rob finally gave in to many members who were begging to see this stuff, me included. Once a month and for a limited time! Get over it and don't check it out if you don't like it. It is not the beginning of the end of FTV as we know it.

As for the models, I'm glad when Rob has them covered in certain areas to have them looking as good as possible, accentuating their best qualities. Critisism is fine but I cringe when it becomes mean spirited.

I don't think it's fair that Pamela's thread should be closed just because people are dicussing something negative about the model. Isn't that kind of the point of the forums? To discuss stuff?

That said, I'm 100% behind closing the FTVx thread. Keeping that thread open and allowing more people to keep posting just promotes stupidity. Why read through the thread and see your question, posted by other people, answered 3 times when you can just post it again? There's nothing left to discuss there, everyone made their point, now all that's left is stupidity and crybabies.

This is a good point, but the forum is also a good way for rob to find out how his site is going, there is a lot of feedback here, he only replays to some of the post's as other don't really need to be done as we the members help new comers and old member with questions they have giving rob more time to shoot than answer emails.

Rob could turn the forum in a pay for service, or only let people that have an FTV or DanielleFTV pay for account use the board, this would shorten the amount of people coming and also spamming the site, as they get to use it when they pay for FTV or DanielleFTV.

As forums go, there will also ways be people not liking things about a forum, leets take the fact it's a porn forum, you can't say p***y, as it's classed as "rude", but the whould site is "rude", so what can we do, if the site say's not to use them words, then don't or leave, but I feel some people need to look at it fully and ask is what ios going on, on this forum really that bad?

Here is Rob right now....

:(:confused::mad::(:

and thinking....maybe I should just shut this board down or at least no longer interact on it.....

Oh, Okay. That makes sense now. I was just trying to figure out the "Question Thread for Rob" and thought that maybe one of these hacker "BoardAdministrator" or "Moderator", etc... had infiltrated the board and was messing with things.

I like that part ^^^^, if we didn't have extra time on the keyboards, FTV search wouldn't be on the Internet, thanks Raymond, and Web Cam transcripts would be on here as well, also if we didn't have extra time on key boards, we wouldn't be looking at FTV as we wouldn't have the time.

Also I wouldn't have told WhyYou, how to help stop PM spamming on the forum, who then asked you to use the information I passed on to him.

Another idea: what about deleting complaint/hating posts/threads... and then banning insistent hate posters? Yes, sounds like "Paradise-Wonderland-out-of-censorship", but it will effectively make the forum easier and sweeter to hang around. Just my 2 pennies.

I don't think many people here hand out much in internet forums, because I have to say this is the most laid back forum I’ve ever been on.

I’ve got a beautifully restored 1970 VW Beetle, but like most older cars it needs attention now and then. I hang out at a forum for VW enthusiasts and you would think that a bunch of former hippies would be an easy group to hang with… but I swear it seems like every 3rd or 4th thread turns into a flame war. (even so I considered that one a tame forum until I came here lol)
Heck, even the comments on YouTube are way more harsh than anything I’ve seen here.

No one is going to like every girl on FTV, that’s a given. BUT we are all paying to see these girls because we get to see beautiful women doing their thing, and every now and then there is one that just blows your socks off! I think Tasha going to be one of those – at least for me. :)

Deleting posts and threads is a judgement call and can be more trouble than it's worth. It's really hard to draw a line for what is bad enough and what can be left alone. We will attempt to keep things toned down and will hand out infractions or bans if necessary. But if YOU get an infraction or even get banned, just remember that someone had to make a hard decision.

But DAMN! If I say I like a girl and express what I think would be hot in the next shoot, I become the topic! Really not necessary. Don't comment on what I wrote, Especially when it's all positive. Look at the Hayley thread. I think she's hot. Would love to see her come back. Next post is about me and what I wrote. WHY? That's how threads go bad. Making them personal.:mad:

I was just saying that you were very enthusiastic about her. LOL

I found it humorous. But I wasn't making fun or anything.

And the "Question Thread for Rob" is still closed.

Thus, the natural conclusion one can make is that "everything" has now been discussed on the above mentioned subject matter. Someone has drawn a line to Rob's personal life and FTVGirls.

I mean, if you read the "Question Thread for Rob" and watch the eRotic video documentary on FTVGirls, is there really something fundamental that has not been covered yet?

My own conclusion is that a thread is closed when it has served its purpose and is no longer needed.

That is why the insight, impartiality and (im)patience of a Time Lord suit perfectly for the job.;)

And yet another question for "The" Rob
 

Almost forgot... What does the "RLS" in "RLS Photography" stand for?

I think "RLS" are the initials of Rob's name.

For ROB only.
 

Man, you buzzkill;)... Rob was supposed to answer that one himself! Now that herr Anoree ruined the initial moment;), another Q for The Rob:

Rob, what is your real name?;)

what is yours, along with your address and social insurance number please.

Don't forget his Mother's Maiden name and the 3 numbers from the back of each credit card. :D

Robert Louis Stevenson. The rest goes through PM. ;)
Raymond, did you read the title of my previous post? It was "FOR ROB ONLY".
PS: I use cash only. Had bad experiences with the plastic.:rolleyes:
PS # 2: I have no social security number. I'm an alien. :rolleyes:

why hasn't this thread been locked yet?

The original topic of this thread is long gone. It appears that the topic is now "Who IS Rob?" For that reason alone, this thread should be locked! Considering that option!

lol keep the thread and move the other posts to a How is Rob thread, then you get the beso of both worlds.

E-Z, mon... Locking a thread just because the Boss and other members are fooling around? C'mon, let's leave the stiffness and smoke the weed of peace!

With you asking for the thread to be locked, there would be a reason.
But if it would ha...
