I posted on the General Reports board a notice as part of an online news letter from my Fairfax County district supervisor about potential efforts to reduce or remove all illicit massage parlors. Thanks for the heads up.
My first thought is that with the Cornavirus they would be too busy to pursue then I remember the FBI was working a upscale sting in Louisiana? During so yeah, this will be a priority for our politicians. Before I became an avid poster, I was a nameless onlooker. I remember first discovering the site and being so confused by the shorthand and the lingo. All the codes that I had to decipher.
To me, it was part of the game, the puzzle, the fun. Like a proper investigator I explored all avenues of the site, to be honest the "codes" pretty easy to crack, there's an "abbreviations" tab that one can easily locate and memorize, and I did, hell that was half the fun of it. In order to reap the harvest, one must work for it, and, in addition to that work, respect the tools of the trade.
I spent months on this board RTTF, collecting information, applying it, learning from it, harvesting the fruits of labor that lets face it, was done by somebody else. There has to be some respect given to that, and to put it bluntly, if you're not going to actively contribute to the forum and just take take take, the least one can do is properly learn and use the codes that are at our disposal.
It's a harsh stance sure, probably outdated too. But I'll take the opportunity to play Devils advocate here in the bare hopes that more people here become active contributors before remaining active takers. It's not all that confusing once you learn it, it's just being mishandled.
