Yet again we lose a long term, intelligent and informed poster because of the direction in which the site continues to evolve. This is another sad loss for all. Perhaps, mlb, as others have said you'll consider taking a break and come back when so motivated. I certainly hope so.

You've been warned twice???!! I thought it was just the one time with me....I feel so betrayed...:frown1:

Which means that warnings bite, but they happen to almost everyone who posts in the forums. Indeed they are survivable.

Yes, one was for a post that was made at least a year earlier and long before the change in the rules. I think in the PM I got that it said that I was warned in order to be alerted to the fact that those kinds of posts were no longer acceptable or something like that. I really didn't mind it. I understand and agree with the changes in the ToS. I really didn't feel like it was a big deal.

The only time I minded was when someone that I liked would make some sort of comment indicating that they interpreted those warnings as evidence of actual pedophilic behavior, which isn't the case, of course. Posting about one's own memories and asking questions motivated by a clinical or scientific curiosity or a personal concern about development are completely innocent motivations but not allowed by the ToS. I don't mind the changes even though I've been spanked twice because I've seen threads where an Obvious Pedophile has recalled disgusting "memories" of his own fishing for like-minded people before they were removed by the mods, and that's where those discussions inevitably lead. They're pedo-bait and LPSG is better off without them.

That a long time poster, one who obviously has a wealth of knowledge to share, and who has actually earned the respect of such a wide variety of users, is choosing to leave the site for such reasons, is quite problematic.

Though I've only been here a comparatively short time, I have noticed the quality of MLB's posts, and agree that this will leave a vacuum.

I hope you come back, in the future. I will not say good bye but, instead, 'til we meet again.

my dear MLB,
I will surely miss your humor, insights and openness. I, along with many others urge you to take a "breather" and do not act in haste as we would all miss you. I am totally baffled by such actions. I seldom respond to you, but always read your posts. I wish you well :-(

The mods have just put me on notice that I'm in violation of something they are concerned about. This is fine. But knowing how untruths and bad gossip is du jour on the web site I wish to share the following with anyone who might care.

Subgirrl:

This is not a slam against you. But the gentle and kind "notice" that I am breaking the rules of LPSG is more than I'm willing to deal with.Life's too short. Haven't the time to worry about it. Regardless of what LPSG rules are, the truth is that i did have to hustle on the streets when I was younger For me the truth is more important than a generally "suspect" big pee pee site. Besides, I find I waste far too much time spooking through LPSG threads.

As they say, water finds its own level. In eliminating me from the rosters of LPSG-ers I hope to raise my water level a bit higher. And I'm certain the moderators will revel in thinking their own status has also risen.

Again, this is not a slam against you. I'm sure you're a rather entertaining and fun person, but I need to spend my time on more creative endeavors; NOT LPSG. Let's remove the temptation by canceling my membership. I'm certain that will make the bubble that is LPSG and myself happier. And please share my request with the "board."


Sincerely wishing you nothing the best,

Midlifebear
You received a standard notice. There is a legal requirement or standard here where mention of people in sexual situations is frowned upon if 1 of the participants is under 18. There seems to be ways where it can be referenced if it is between non family and all are under 18 but if there is an adult over 18 then it's wrong to mention. All photos of people under 18 are forbidden even if the person is no longer alive or if they are now over 18....I don't understand legal stuff so this is confusing but rules are rules.

I am hoping you will reconsider and not run away.

You were most likely reacting in anger as can be seen in your post when you say you aren't slamming anyone but then go on to talk about how the moderators will 'revel in thinking their status has risen.' It's not like you to speak that way so I am figuring you were in shock, disbelief and a little irritated at the time. I seem to remember you mentioned a medical matter as well so maybe that is adding to your irritation.



Now to all the others who are complaining about the board changing. All boards/forums change. Every one I've ever been at has experienced changes.

Members get older, go through changes with work or with marriage or with having children and their ways of thinking can change. Members get sick and leave, members die.

New members come in and bring in their ideas. Change is constant and some members leave when it no longer brings the same happy feeling it once did. Meanwhile new members come in and discover a happy feeling they didn't have before but in 6 or 7 years they may be crying that it isn't what it used to be. At that time maybe the board will have gone back towards what it was a few years ago or in another direction entirely. Try and remember change is constant.


Now back to midlife, please reconsider but if you decide to stay gone, thank you for all you contributed you will be missed.

I notice he is still MLB, and not renamed. It has been 2 days, so i am thinking he may have reconsidered his official departure. Then again, perhaps he felt he COULD leave his account open and not interact. Maxcock did just that.

I have noticed that some people will post these, "that is it I am leaving" threads and then either forget to, or deliberately neglect to, open a thread in the Support Center officially requesting to do so, as is outlined here.

MLB may not have done that step. He may have forgotten all about it, in his irritation, or he may have held off, giving himself time to reflect. I am not going to assume he is gone until his name is changed and his avatar gone. Two things I sincerely hope I do not see.

The bolded section is incorrect. ANY mention of the sexual experiences of minors is against the ToS and will result in sanctions.

Anyone who is not 100% sure that they know the rules regarding this and any other matter is encouraged to read both the Rules and this post that explains the rules further.

I appreciate this clarification.:smile:
I'd say more but don't want to risk violating a rule, I may send forward a p.m. instead.
