I have said it before but it bears repeating, the best way to tell if it the poster is a gynocracist of some sort, is to ask him/her to provide insights about female manipulation; in particular from personal relationships.

Once they start calling you conspiratorial or paranoid, then you know they are a stingy bastard who are hiding life saving information about female manipulation which if shared would make even the biggest blue-piller leave the plantation.

I agree, and I wish I had the guts to tell our own members to stop saying Welcome! until the newbie first passes the Intro test. To me, it's like letting a newbie start attending union meetings by just walking in the door and us figuring some steward somewhere will at some future meeting chase the newbie down and nag him into signing a union card. You can't do it that way or you get a bunch of trouble coming through the door. The Intro is a test, a screening process, not some archaic formality. Yet, now and then it's as though some members will say Welcome! to just about any kind of hello. The Intro is designed to catch the mental misfits and the Trojans. We should all let it do its job and withhold our welcome until the Intro vets the newbie. It doesn't mean we are assholes for waiting.

I really wish this website package had a way to segregate newbies who register for a linked user name from posting outside of the New Members forum until their Intro is approved by a Moderator. That way, all of this never-ending sturm and drang between experienced members and brand new members might be avoided. And, those who do not register for a linked username can be restricted to Opposing Views forum, which appears to be the case for them.

As it is, it's like any of us volunteer to be the bouncer at the door, but no one ever knows who is on duty as the bouncer, or no one is on duty, or all of a sudden, several of us are on duty like what happened to MWC here. Although, without a streamlined system, I prefer having a lot of bouncers. I see the camaraderie in that.

I sometimes been guilty of this and ended up looking bad. Usually after nobody else wanted to do anything. It takes awhile to tell a troll from a guy with not so good English, and I sometimes gave them the benefit of the doubt. Or once or twice clobbered guys who didn't do anything.

Trouble is, we don't have a system. Some rookies get asked a lot of questions, others set there for weeks with no comments or questions at all. A lot of times things seem to peter out before a decision ever gets made. Even if you left my recent name calling out of it (sorry Porkncheese), we aren't doing very well.


I'm not suggesting a 24 hour watch on intros, but no action for weeks is not good either. Also, after Ace got banned, I thought the mods were going to have final say as to who got in. The mods have tossed people out now and then, but have otherwise mostly left intros alone. Is anyone deciding now days? It don't look like it.

Best thing to do would be to take it up with Jagr, the Site Admin and owner....

PM sent to Jagr asking him to come to this thread.

Guess I asked for that one. But I'm not trying to give the mods more work. Am not sure what the answer is either, come to that. Like Unboxxed says, some rookies get asked a ton of questions, others nothing. Then often as not they disappear, rather we liked them or not. We never find out what they really were. I suppose this is normal, but I don't belong to enough forums to tell.

Lots a guys avoid intros like the plague. but there's some that would help.
