Lies about heel height - Page 6

Becky,

Deleting all the guys posts on the girls' bit would provoke anarchy. Yes we can do it, but I propose a less confrontational approach. I've already made my views known by posting the poll asking whether the girls' section should be for girls only and I've supported Vanity in the rant forum.

There is the girls' forum for the girls, but what do we find, lots of the guys on the board trying to engage them in conversation there .... post us a picture and do you wear 6" heels seem to feature fairly early in the chat. What I think the girls' forum should be is the sort of chats women have in the powder room away from the guys.

There were a couple of Italian girls who posted on the board a while back, but they soon stopped posting when they started a private email conversation, no doubt due to the tedious hassle they got from the guys here, like two girls having a drink at a bar trying to repel the local 'Don Juan'.

Why can't the guys enjoy the company of the few women who post here without there being a covert sexual agenda ????

Vanity, I'm sorry to hear of your loss .... been there a couple of years ago. I'm trying to do my bit to keep the 'dribbling little perverts' at bay, so try to stay with us.

Becky, I'm quite willing to try to reduce the intrusion of guys into the girls' forum by adopting any reasonable suggestion short of wholesale zapping of posts.

we have noticed that despite many requests by moderators and the female members that many men are still posting in the gals section. Usually this is sending the thread off topic.

Spare a thought for the women. It's akin to having a group of girls trying to have a conversation and then then having a bunch of guys dive in and continue their own chat while drowning out the girls.

We appreciate that you guys like to get involved, but can we please respect a few boundaries. We're not asking much and it doesn't take much effort to restrain yourselves. Some of us can read without replying. In fact, I think this is my first reply in about a year in the girls section, but this is only because I feel that we moderators need to take control of the situation.

Now the book has been thrown, I will apologise to all the girls for the intrusion, even if it is in their interests.

ps. I don't think that wholesale zapping of posts will solve anything. All it will do is cause more animosity.

Moderators could always move men's posts into another category called "men's responses to woman's posts," couldn't they?

Becky and Vanity - I apologize. My only excuse is that even though I did not start it I had to straighten out some uppity kids.

Well, we are looking at the moderation situation for the girl's forum.

We did have some great female mods in Debbie, Inga, and Laurie but for various reasons they're no taking an active part at the moment.

I'm going to lock this thread and repost the topic on behalf of Vanity. Perhaps I could appeal again that people try and stick to the subject and not use the new thread for personal confrontations whatever the rights and wrongs of your position.
