I dunno about that one.

There are some boards, mainstream and adult online, that vary where you have more of the vets and less bullshit. Typically those are run with an iron fist.

DP is a good example where you have the regime keeping things in line. People can report countless things, and they are pretty good are monitoring it. I too got a temp ban in the beginning, but it's just a matter of figuring out the dynamics.

That said, you have a LOT more fucking clueless idiots on some of these boards, and a SHITLOAD more scams, and scammers. I mean, some of these boards are probably a good 1/4 easily scams. Half clueless idiots, and then you have a top tier of people who have...

1. Been around more than 6 months.
2. Make more than $50.00 a month.
3. Own REAL websites.
4. Are doing this full time.

99% of mainstream board persona are not in online full time. Right there is a red flag to me.
