Is there a new link about new Reviewing rules? I need to sure I'm compliant ..air-quotes.

View counts down and advertisers leaving; these new rules will make it worse! This is another step backwards.

One or more ECCIE members were using view generator software to artificially inflate view count. (Sad and funny at the same time). Once it was discovered, he/she/they stopped using the view generator, thus lowering the perceived view counts. While this may not be the only factor, it cannot be ignored when comparing view counts.

But really, unless ECCIE's bottom line personally affects you, I don't understand why a person would be overly concerned about advertisers and view counts.

It would be interesting to find out how other people feel about the rule enforcement.

It would be interesting to find out how other people feel about the rule enforcement. A poll perhaps?

Posts and participation are way down! This is easily recognized! The reason ? The ladies are not here! This is not because of trolls or P C language. It is due to the new rules that affect the ladies, and especially the very limiting advertising rules. Switter oh2 and elsewhere allow these ladies to advertise daily, and in multiple places. Not sure how and why St C and admin do not realize this. This is a very easy analysis ! Add to this that more and more ladies do not wish to be reviewed!

Well, that sounds like a different issue altogether.

So, to be clear, are you ok that insulting is less tolerated and more concerned that the ladies have limited advertising?

Also, is there a post that explains new rules that only affect the ladies?

[winn dixie]

Only making observations. However limiting language is not O K .

Why not move this discussion to the Main Discussion Forum - National forum or the Member Suggestions forum where it might get the attention it deserves?

Complaining about it in a local city forum isn't going to make much of an impact on the powers-that-be.

There are sticky threads at the top of the Weekly Updates - Austin forum that outline the additional rules that the ladies must follow when making posts there. Those same rules apply to their Bio (formerly Showcase) pages.

Z you have a great point! I was answering Cap's question with my opinion. Something like this needs to be picked up and posted by someone that can be a little more eloquent than I !

I am so glad and very hopeful that eccie will become a more tolerant and peaceful place where everyone can speak up and play without fear of attack or bullying. this place has so much potential to become an active and engaging forum where all are welcome to contribute and hang out here in Austin coed. I think they are doing a good job, but fighting an uphill battle here at first. I am grateful they are making an attempt to let everyone be comfortable and participate. thank you mods and eccie powers that be for trying to do this and the site will be better if we can achieve this goal. continue with your whack a troll efforts and know that your efforts are much appreciated.

To the eccie mods and staff, thank you for enforcing the guidelines to control the bullies and trolls.

Two threads closed in the last ten minutes alone! More threads being deleted and merged in the last few days than I have seen in a very long time! The political forum being run like a dictatorship !

Which equals

Participation and view counts way down, to almost non-existent !
As I said above this affects advertising and sponsorship ! Proof is the state eccie is in.

I hope eccie makes it through these lean times of uncertainty ! But it doesn't look to good.

My bluebird poem thread was closed.

They said it was a violation.

fake appreciation doesn't count. You don't like this "new ECCIE" any more than anyone else does.
