I respect your views and understand that some may find a message post not to their advantage but you must remember that these are on the members side and not on the sensitive non member pre-view areas. In our case the benefits far outweigh any short term damage caused by the occasional malicious post. Also, the vast majority of members are satisfied with the sites content and therefore treat bad comments with the contempt they deserve. As for baby sitting the board, well I look at the posts on average about 5 times each day and spend around 20 minutes replying and adding my personal comments. When I wrote the script for these boards I included Tankers idea of previewing the posts before release but have not found the need to implement this feature. Again, I appreciate that message boards are not good for all sites but for some smaller sites that use the same girls for long periods they are a good feature. Providing a method of feedback is essential for all sites.
I think everyone here will appreciate just how important repeat subscriptions are to pay sites of all sizes. It?s a nice feeling to start each month with cash that?s come from the existing member base and knowing that your efforts to keep your members happy have paid off. I would much rather spend a little extra time nursing my message board than having to go out looking for replacement members.
