cdnvic Posted January 29, 2005 Share Posted January 29, 2005 We need a forum where there is none of this endless chatter about bar girls, bar fines, prostitutes, etc, etc... It seems lately that half of the threads end up this way. I try not to be a prude, and adopt an attitude of whatever two adults wanna do with themselves is their business but some days the forum is absolutly obsessed with it, and I take my share of the blame for participating. The casual reader might with some justification after reading, assume that all women in Thailand either are, were or will someday be prostitutes. You'd also think that all forgieners did here was chase bargirls and pound changs. The amount of coverage these topics get is probably discouraging some from joining, others from reading, and I can't blame them if there's not alot of women here. Maybe its time to start clipping the bargirl threads as they show up. Sooner or later hopefully nobody will bother. Lately its been looking like a high school locker room than anything else. Lets aim for a little more intelligent talk? cv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jai Dee Posted January 29, 2005 Share Posted January 29, 2005 Why not create a new Forum called "Naughty Nightlife" and ask the mods to move any thread that deteriorates into the bar girls, bar fines, prostitutes, etc discussion over there? It sure would clean up the place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TizMe Posted January 29, 2005 Share Posted January 29, 2005 I agree with Jai Dee. It is obvious that BG discussion is what many of the forum members want to spend their time discussing. Like it or not, a large number of visitors to Thailand are sex tourists. Like it or not, a number of the board members are married to ex-BGs. Like it or not, many of the remaining members cannot fathum why anybody would do that. So why not have a forum where all things BG can be discussed, and avoided by those that do not want to participate. As long as all the rules of the board are obeyed, I cant see why BG topics shouldn't be discussed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazza Posted January 29, 2005 Share Posted January 29, 2005 (edited) I agree that a new forum should be set up. I remember in the new clippings a topic about a clampdown on prostitution that had about 12,000 hits and God knows how many pages of replies. At the same time, a topic about the westernisation of Loi Krathong only received about half a dozen replies. Clearly it shows that a lot of members are more interested in prozzies than the cultural aspects of Thailand. At least give it a go anyway. Although as an after-thought, wouldn't it bring the real sickos and sleazo's from other boards. I imagine it wouldn't be long before they start causing probs in the other topics.

britmaveric Posted January 29, 2005 Share Posted January 29, 2005 Beating a dead horse lads - been suggested many times!!!! Standard answer - there are other forums well known for this sort of thing and TV isn't one of them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Moog Posted January 29, 2005 Share Posted January 29, 2005 My bet is that whilst the Forum suggested is a good common sense idea, you won't see it here. This website would get shutdown/blocked in a New York minute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taxexile Posted January 29, 2005 Share Posted January 29, 2005 mr.soapy and his sidekick mr. oily over at bangkok tonight would be pleased to entertain all those requesting a bargirl related thread. a few minutes on the health forum over there reading postings from those afflicted with all kinds of horrifying complaints varying from "permanently smelly penis" to "untreatable discharge of over six months duration....i need help." should serve as a warning to all.

Boo Posted January 29, 2005 Share Posted January 29, 2005 I will again raise the issue in the mods forum & see what G & DrPP have to say, but as already stated TV isnt really the kind of place for that & there are (numerous) other sites that deal with kind of thing. Personally I would prefer there to be a separate room for all things BG or even better to stop the topics as & when they come up, but even I understand that it is a part of life for many in LOS but we (the mod team) like to keep a tight reign on those kinds of posts as they can quickly become derogatory & turn in to flame wars.

This website would get shutdown/blocked in a New York minute. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Indeed moog and this is the biggest problem. Thai censorship on the net might close it down due to sexual content. A forum where you can talk about anything but that you cannot reach from thailand is certainly no improvement. We would lose 80% of our userbase when that would happen. We will discuss it again but i think it would have a small chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taxexile Posted January 29, 2005 Share Posted January 29, 2005 darknight , if that is the case then how come a forum and website such as "bangkok tonite" , (which is accessible via a thai visa link .... that's how i accidentaly found it ), which seems to thrive on incredibly explicit discussions about thailands nightlife , remains up and running and i assume unmolested by the authorities.

Jai Dee Posted January 31, 2005 Share Posted January 31, 2005 Personally I would prefer there to be a separate room for all things BG or even better to stop the topics as & when they come up, but even I understand that it is a part of life for many in LOS but we (the mod team) like to keep a tight reign on those kinds of posts as they can quickly become derogatory & turn in to flame wars. An alternernative forum would also be easier to moderate/administrate too, wouldn't it? And by watching the stats on the new forum, it would also help you decide whether to keep it and any threads on it active or not. How about a trial run?

Jai Dee Posted February 15, 2005 Share Posted February 15, 2005 What's gatefilter Jai dee? a local firewall ? Err.... yes. I usually acces TV from work. I think that Gatefilter scans the incoming page for certain words... and if it finds too many "naughty" words it blocks the site.
