The problems then came afterward.
Perhaps because the new site was doing quite well , we had a deluge of “admirers” wanting to be here. They brought with them a deluge of disembodied cock-shots and ass pics.
A line had to be drawn somewhere , and certain broad-stroke moderators took a hard-line , and deleted pics by the thousand , every day.
Even panty-boy pics were being rejected , in the interests of some kind of feminine “purity” - which I personally agree with.
We have exceptions on this site , who are positive contributors , and do much for the good-feeling of fellow-users. You know who you are , and have given much to the site - even if you don’t cross-dress.
But as you can imagine , the initial blurred lines had to be drawn quite firmly , if the site was to survive.
In no way were we reacting to any bad treatment of our Gurls by hard-factions of the gay world. Once we were here , we simply switched off from them , and concentrated on how best to sustain what we now had.
Changes were made , and unfortunately some of these weren’t for the best.
There was a shortage of mods , which didn’t help matters.
Every pic deleted had to have a reason. The workload was huge.
At this time , some questionable mods were appointed. Ones that had a very blinkered vision of how the site should proceed. They certainly alienated a proportion of the site , and mod-privileges were adapted to suit their particular deranged approach!
At that time (7 years ago or more in fact) , moderators had no powers to individually gag members. This was brought in later , for convenience , but unfortunately that particular luxury was abused - by ranting mods that are happily no longer here. One malicious report to a mod-friend could easily result in a permanent ban from the site - with no-one else knowing what was said , or if anything actually occurred.
Since mods were also allowed to delete forum posts , they could cover their tracks , and claim they were doing the right thing - lying through their teeth in Status to rally others round in an unfounded hate-campaign against the member , who had no way of replying.
Utterly disgusting behaviour.
Now , I personally campaigned for various changes. The main one being quality over quantity , as regards pic-posting.
That we include the “feminine” aspect in all our pics , is very important - as it confirms our direction - wherever you look.
We reject close-up , prolapsing bum-holes - disembodied soft-cocks smaller than the fingers holding them. However , the sight of a dishevelled tranny , covered in spunk , with a totally wrecked bum- hole and a tiny ,girly cock - can be a fucking horny sight indeed.
We have repeatedly asked that members are discerning in their posts , that they do not abuse the system by flooding the place with yawn-factor repetitions - and that they at least attempt to be tasteful in their posing and attire. Of course the downright slutty and dirty fuckers are very welcomed , but just be careful with those close-ups - make sure we can see you are a tranny.
You don’t have to be good-looking , or slim-build , or anything. We are here to give support to each other on our journeys.
However , if I feel someone is complacent , or losing the plot - I will certainly highlight this , and ask them to take action. I am quite happy to discuss any issues , unless met with blind denial.
