The #1 item mentioned in our Terms of Service for participation on ClubHombre message boards is to avoid the discussion of illegal activity. We have this policy in place to protect the site and ensure that we can continue to operate as a forum of discussion regarding sex between consenting adults.

The #2 item, which may not seem as obvious but something we consider just as important, relates to the disclosure of personal information. We have a wide range of members from all walks of life who have varying levels of what they consider acceptable exposure. Some people are very private while others wish to meet and get to know as many other people as possible. Whatever the individual decides, the privacy and confidentiality of the member should be respected unconditionally. If there is any uncertainy about whether a member wishes to keep information about himself private, then it should be assumed that such information is confidential and should not be posted on our message boards. Obviously this covers multimedia content and physical descriptions, but it may also apply to age, ethnicity, profession, demographic information, or any other personal information that is implicitly or explicitly recognized as confidential. Bottom line...private information stays private, we will have little tolerance for people posting confidential information about other members, particularly out of spite or when in disagreement.

Fortunately, this is an issue we do not have to address often, but it may be good for us to come back to this as a reminder occasionally as well as open it up as a topic for discussion. We had to address this issue tonight, we hope that we will not have to again.

Another idea for consideration and discussion is that it is probably best to assume that people you meet wish to remain anonymous to everyone except those that they specifically contact and approach themselves. In practice, this would suggest that it's poor form to identify other hombres to friends without their express permission. If someone you knows wants to meet someone else, please get permission from the subject in question. This is an issue of privacy and common courtesy, so please be respectful of that for all hombres.

Feel free to share further thoughts below.

Could not agree with you more.

And while we're at it, one should presume that none of us wish to be called by our board names in front of any girls either. Especially in Rio, where I know for a fact that many terma girls routinely peruse this board.

What's more, many boardmembers think it is fine to openly discuss our antics in front of the ladies, assuming that they cannot understand english. This is bad form guys. Not only do many of them understand, it leads them to the conclusion that some of us are bigger whores than they are.

Finally, it is because of so many indescretions that I have discontinued publicly announcing my trips in advance.

In 'the early days', I welcomed meeting many of you. Anymore, I've come to the conclusion that is better to stay as low profile as is possible.

Threads such as this are nice, but do little to actually change the behaviors of the board at large. I've long been a proponent of a Hombre code of ethics which is repeatedly brought to the attention of each member. Kind of ironic to discuss ethics in the hobby, but what's wrong with it really?

I completely agree with the toughts expressed above.

I have cringed a few times when zona mongers have called my handle alound around chicas.

Whenever I wish to meet anyone in the board I contact them directly and do not expect anyone I allready know to introduce me if they are not cleared to do so.

When in doubt keep quiet.

Some things have gotten so bad for members on this board, that many of us do not post anything now.

I have personally met several members from this board, and that are great guys, but respect for privacy should be one of the top things for board members.

I agree completely with the above posts. I have been around long before RedSnake, but due to some very negative experiences with other mongers, I too keep a very low profile.

I also agree with the above posts and the privacy policy. While I have met a number of fine hombres on this site, I have, unfortunately, also run into the bad element (the borderline psycho), the type with no regard for others, including their privacy, and the type who unfortunately provides a disincentive to post.

yeah and who in their right mind use their real name but me and another on this entire board!! silly me...and him

Layne, you crazy Southern guys!

Layne. We all like you. However, we know you are smart, but not a genius.

Actually, the joke's on us.
His real name is Billy Joe Jim Bob

I'm pleased to see that this topic is being circulated as gentle reminder to people on this board. I'm relatively new on this board and not a particularly active writer but have done a few. For unknown reasons, I've seen that a few bad apples on this board have tried to extract private/personal information, as defined above by Hombre, using various tactics. I would not know real intent of such attempts. Hope those would have minimum level of decency not to muddle up the board with intent or attempt to compromise other's personal/private information.

interesting thread.

heck.. you guys can call me ttboy2100 all you want when i'm out on the prowl.. i dont care!
