WAM Cowboy says that a UMD moderator named booth (never heard of him myself) removed all of his UMD posts, citing as the reason that he (WAM Cowboy) was posting the same things over and over and over.
WC's response to this was to take all those private videos off of YouTube and put up two short text-only videos on the same channel telling this story and expressing his disgust with his treatment at the hands of booth.
Nothing about any of this makes much sense, although WC did say he'd been skittish about even posting those brief excerpts in the first place. Personally, I really wish I'd captured those clips before they vanished, because i loved his female model's enthusiasm and her very forceful and thorough self-pieings.
All of the Wamcowboy posts I clicked on had links to different scenes (which are now gone from Youtube). That particular moderator has a history of colossal bad calls and if he's now cost us some of the rarest kind of wam content, I really wish someone would take a fresh look at his, er, contributions to the community. And if Messmaster has a way to reach out to Wamcowboy and fix things, I wish he would.
Seriously wtf. Mr "booth" ( https://umd.net/booth ) should provide an explanation or at least provide the other side of the story, of why we chased good content off this board.
And Regis what other examples of "bad calls" for this particular moderator are you referring to?
gness7 said: I'm going to take Wamcowboy's side because his content--brief as it was--was really good and Booth has been overmoderating for years. That said, Wamcowboy was an admitted flake with his content. You can do whatever you want with your stuff but let's be honest: putting up a 20 second clip only to take it down after a few hours and repeating the process with other less-than-one-minute clips? What are you doing? Keep it private or don't. And I never liked people who blame their self-exit from a community on other people anyway. That's weak. Meanwhile, Booth is the referee who thinks everyone pays money and travels to the stadium to see him.
Sure, fair points about Wamcowboy .... But he was pretty open about being skittish, so it was a case of either playing along and having nice things or being hostile to him and ending up with nothing probably ever again, which is where we are now.
I spoke with Booth and the issue was that Wamcowboy actually posted the Poetry in Motion and Pie in the Face Productions links 3 times before. Booth removed those as duplicates, plus suggested to him that he put his future contributions into a single thread, as we normally ask, lest we get complaints about spamming.
Nobody likes to be moderated, and Wamcowboy apparently retaliated, as the other posts were deleted by Wamcowboy himself. (Booth also deleted a complaint thread that he posted to Messy and contacted me directly.) I never got a message or complaint from Wamcowboy.
Sometimes these moderation decisions are informed by our user history logs that only the UMD mods can see. But as I always say, if you have a problem with something a mod or anyone does, please contact me and we're sure to get it straight! I do apologize for just now getting to this.

Does this mean I'm not going to sodomize anyone?
No. It just means you're not going to sodomize booth.

Plonk said: Did Booth have another handle? I've been here a while, and honestly have no fucking recollection of the guy.
Nope, but he's been on here for years basically every day, flagging items and taking care of other things himself like moving forum posts and deleting them when it's urgent and I haven't gotten to them yet (like underage, etc). But mostly he flags things for me to review--the opposite of heavy-handed. He's probably the biggest reason this forum runs smoothly, and everyone would be complaining a LOT more if he was not here. He keeps a low profile and you basically only hear about him when somebody got pissed at something he did. The idea is to keep the peace behind the scenes and sometimes that can lead to misunderstandings, but we will always give a question the respect of an honest response.
