If there WAS a Short Term Availability Thread for Austin and it was run with the following rules in place......

[Claire She Blows]

I would use it

[Guest101314]

I would too

What I gathered from the last discussion we had was that the demand for such a thread definitely is there.

The only reason for rejecting it was on the grounds of providers not following rules. As I understand it, it creates a scenario that's unfavorable for:

1) Rule-abiding providers losing a competitive edge over those who exploit the loopholes
2) Mods who are forced to edit each violation on their own while not having the power to discourage repeat offenses

I'm not well-informed of the issues mods face, but Space indicated that:

1) The current board system does not allow for mods to issue points to offenders just because the rules are thread-specific and does not apply system-wide
2) Implementing other forms of negative reinforcements might drive away providers altogether, which would not sit well with the board owners

If we can figure out a way to curb offenders, we can get such a thread running.....

[Ms. Athena]

It can be a very helpful tool if you have a cancellation/spare time for both parties. You can see right away whom is open and ready to play, without having to wasting time jumping through all the hoops. A Win Win, if used correctly by all parties and not abused by a few. Best to make it a short notice thread, then a cancellation thread and be clear on the rules and how you will allow the providers to post. I look forward to using it when I hit Austin soon if it come about by then.....Merry Christmas All~~

[DallasRain]

Ditto---it definately helps in alot of cities

[Guest101314]

I highly doubt it would drive any providers away if they got a slap on the wrist for not following rules. What are we, children? This is free advertising. Don't make up silly excuses.

[SuperBeast]

But after the slap on the wrist, comes the ban, then the perma ban! Then you're only advertising elsewhere!Unfortunately the mods in SA have let the desperate ladies of SA run amuck. Luckily the mods here have said no way it's happening here again

[Guest021414]

Wow are people really that unreliable I've only had 1 person cancel in 5years and he left the donation at the hotel counter. I have had a few late but hey its Austin and being low volume it's never usually problem for me if someone is 30 mins late

Guys do ladies flake out on you often???

As a pilot, I too hate being on short final to only be told that the field is now closed and that I will have to divert to my alternate landing.

You all do have alternates? Plan B is always a must, and some have asked me in PMs why I occasionally review a couple of ATFs that work the AMP/Spa scene. Now you know. Plan B or Plan C execution.

Strongly support this new SNA list--with rules and enforcement, of course.

[Kit-4-Kat]

I cut my original comments to prevent discussion getting off-track in this thread as I believe a short-notice availability option would appeal to members. I'll start a separate thread for my thoughts which will cover this additional possibility. IJS... Some of us can exercise self-control. *wink*

Having another info option that caters to a specific need narrows down the amount of time needed to find what tone looking for and I'm all for a more efficient process. Scheduling was much simpler in the past and it's on the men's side from my perspective. Whatever is needed to help get to the point has my support.

I don't know the limitations of the software the site uses, but perhaps we could utilize a simple form to standardize what info is entered. For example:

Date/time available: ______ (date could change if near midnight, so should allow input)
Duration: 2 hours
Acceptable verification: P411, ECCIE reviews if PM'd with valid handle, provider reference (specify # desired)
Preferred contact method: PM, text 512-555-FUCK
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~
Potential for abuse is removed when input is limited.

However, I'm curious about the listing of rates by gents. I believe terms should be discussed privately between the two parties concerned. Solicitation applies to both provider and hobbyist, correct? Where is the line drawn in regard to liability?

P.S. You must know a simple YES or NO response would be impossible! Lol. I've always been considered a "cerebral" type and known for problem solving in RL vocations, so can't anticipate change in this lifetime. :-) At least I offer suggestions related to the subject matter and try to stay on topic. :-)

So basically you think us women are incapable of following simple rules, especially after a warning. That's funny.

No one is desperate in SA and we definitely aren't running amuck. Smdh

It's been proven FACT that they can't 3 or 4 times already. So maybe instead of Sydh, you should be using it to read before posting?
