Should we start kicking people out of the industry?
 

It's no secret that there are people in the industry who are over all not very well liked and hopefully sooner or later they leave the business. I mentioned this during YP this past weekend, someone brought up a name, and suddenly everyone in ear shot started to bash this person.

Our industry has a few people in it that frankly no one seems to want in the business. Sooner or later they party too hard, make a huge mistake and embarress themselves, or otherwise burn out. But should we start blacklisting people and stop doing business with them?

(And no, I won't mention any names.)

Even though you guys are bigshot Playboy reps now, you cant force people to stop doing business with others.

I know I know.. hidden message :)

I think I know :)

i hope it wasnt me :sadcrying :sadcrying :sadcrying :sadcrying

eventually if their rep is so far tarnished it will bring about a fade out period of that person.

It wasn't Ice was it? I mean..He's not all that bad once you get to know him...


hahahah love you ice

name some names!!!!

wasnt me!!!!

Geeeezzz Roc I told you I was sorry about Mexico.


No need for a thread and threats of blacklisting me.


:pimp

I wonder how many people are reading this thread and saying "oh shit is that me?"

no just send them to other messageboards

So you all sat around mentioning somebody and bashing them but none of you are willing to post who you think just plain sucks ass? Heh. Ok. Cool.

I would much rather have somebody tell me they think I'm an asshole than snicker about me behind my back. Word does get around.

and here all along i was thinking that people did this to make money, and not as some kind of popularity contest. i guess you proved me wrong!

GrimShawn was well liked if I recall correctly. No?

yeah but we wouldnt have to make threads about should we kick people out if people just spoke their mind to people instead of hanging out and gossiping like kids

yeah i was hanging out in mexico and we were all talking about you know who and everyone hates him and did you hear he did this to that person and that person said this and this person said that about him. yeah, we should kick him out of the industry and off the interweb. yeah lets do it! yeah lets do it! i'll post a thread!

What do you know? Nobody likes you anyway.

yeah really, people need to start acting like business men and stop acting like high school drama queens.

I know a few people who badly need to be removed from this industry...

DH

dont be mad just because i wouldnt let you suck my dick.

What did I do?

i think most of us do. but saying should we kick them out of the industry is not the same thing as knowing people that should be gone

shit i must have typed in the wrong url , this thread sounds more like a pack of girls in high school

If this was possible, then there wouldn't be any cheaters, spammers or fraudsters. Back to the drawing board.

For this to work the person would need to be dependent upon all others for his livelihood, plus the entire industry would have to be united against said person.

Also, he or she may find help with the old addage "The enemy of my enemy is my friend."

Perhaps I should go ahead with my Adult Industry Business Rating database :-)

Oh fine. I'm leaving. Sheesh.

UPS guys get more poon anyway in them brown shorts.

So far six people have hit me up asking "Are you talking about me?".

Psst... he's still pissed about the alcohol bill.

:1orglaugh

i knew you were talking about me so i didnt even bother

Of all the things to get pissed about in this business nobody is gonna get blackballed over a bar tab!

i wonder how many votes id get for the ole heave ho..lol

i hope none but maybe some....DH who is on your list :)

But it does bring to mind a question, so who are all these popular people who have the power to blacklist some of these 'most hated' industry people?

I'll vote for you if you vote for me.

we would be doing ourselves a favour :)

It would be good if we can raise expectations in general. Adult is a business like everything else. Let's keep the focus on that.

People who do things that really do hurt everyone in the industry should be called on the carpet more.

chances are its probably the useless affiliate reps with no traffic who really arent in a position to turn away anyones business anyway.

Yes.

And I vote we start with Sly. My pool is filthy and all he does is sit around on his ass!

No, that's not it. This isn't a popularity contest; We are here to do business. But some people give the industry a bad name. But some people come into the business only because of the nature of the our business and the potential to see nudity, put together a program in less than a year of being in the industry, and then spend most of their time bragging about their toys.

Grimshawn was mentioned above. He was well liked, humorous, seemed motivated, and his antics were amusing - until he started breaking things in hotel rooms and got out of control. He tried to get a few things off the ground but in the end just couldn't pull it off. He was more or less run out of the industry.

Because of the nature of our industry - adult content - we have a bad reputation to begin with. Shouldn't we be concerned about our reptuation overall as an industry?

God I want you.

Whore.

Seriously, if you don't start doing your job, I may have to start boning the neighbor's kid. At least he's good with the vacuum.
