Toronto BBFS

Was perusing MERB and as I occasionally do, did a search for BBFS...

Most of the hits were about members being suspended...they do maintain a suspension thread since the mid 2000s but i noted most suspensions since April 2021 were relating to this

"Permanently banned

This member is actively searching for BBFS. XXXXXX, if you decide to open a new handle, we will find it and we will send it to Merb advertisers to have you banned there also.

Indies and agencies, when you suspect a Merb member of soliciting SP's for BBFS, please report it to the moderation."

1) does this mean i will be banned for a keyword search ....maybe i wanted to see what escort to avoid....or know about bbfs policies...
2) will this affect my terb account?

I'll log in later this week to see if I was effectively banned from MERB

But this is an interesting turn of events as most suspension where related to trolling, advertising or hate speech

Banning users for searching specific terms or keywords is very stupid in my opinion. I might search for bbfs to see if I get banned too.

However, despite what they say, there are ways to hide you location and still create a new account. As for as I know merb is ran by different people.

This is kind of crazy grouping public threats with "actively searching for (bareback)" on a public forum.

Since MERB is owned by the same people as TERB, PERB and the other sites in that group, guessing their advertisers are throwing their weight around?

Heck LeoList Vancouver has had ladies openly advertising raw dogging and that's even starting to show up in Toronto ads now too.

I thought it was the same people. but does like maybe it's the advertisers pushing for this, I mean why would they send your handle to them unless they're asking for it?

we will find it and we will send it to Merb advertisers

So far , so good, not banned yet

Judging by the sites and frameworks and that the sites get updated the same time it's probably the same owners, but the admins look to be different.

Yes, it's commercial forum software that can be customized to look different. But I agree, it does seem to follow the same rules as the other forums, so I figured there are some of the same owners behind it.

I mean if I get banned, not the end of the world, but I think it's better if it was kept separate. Is there a way to change the username here?

Yes, just PM me or one of the other admins. I'm usually on the most.

Yes, they're unlikely to bother to track down unless you've pissed off one of the admins...

hang on, I just googled "dcdialer bbfs" and there's exactly one result - this thread.

So, yes, better PM me soon to get the name changed. May I suggest "Mod21" - that might give them a heart attack
