Just a quick thought really....
Why are the Dogging Locations still listed.
1. I think they're proabbly one of the biggest reasons you get the "fancy a fuck?" brigade visiting the website.
2. They're mostly inaccurate now.
3. In the AUP it tells you not to name specific sites but there's a section of the website listing them specifically. Seems a little contradictory?
4. The sites listed might get better if they're not posted on here.
5. They may not get closed or visited by the police if they're not listed.
6. You'll only get to know locations if you show a continued interest in the scene.
7. You're not handing out a list of sites to the Boy Racers.
This post contains the traditional "Just a thought for discussion.. not a criticism of the SH website" caveat.
It does seem a bit anachronistic at first glance - but there is method behind it.
Most of the locations listed in the 'bumf' of the site are pretty much general knowledge, and freely available on a large number of sites on the Internet. It is unlikely that removing them would have any impact at all on umm, 'visitation demographics'
The key thing is to keep currently active sites out of the public eye - hence the ban on exact locations on the fora, which is very much 'up to the minute' information.

Thanks lou n col.
Blue appears to be on a personal vendetta to shit on every post I make today.
Where has this been discussed before? I did a search and couldn't see anything. I just thought it was an interesting point that it seemed to conflict with the very AUPs that gets so strictly applied.
I take your point that it is the disclosure of sites that are currently active that restricts their mentioning.
I'll expect to not see any moderation of posts discussing sites that are not linked to a time or possible meet in future then?
mmmmm... This humble pie is kinda tasty. I'm really getting used to it.
Jags - What - and warm up the Stella? :confused:
Mr Ben - The defence of many people who have been pulled up for mentioning sites in Dogging has been "Well, if you are not allowed to mention locations on the site, why are the locations listed in the advice section?"
That is where the discussions happen.

Ok. Thanks Kat. I was assuming their was a topic dedicated to this discussion. That doesn;t appear to be the case.
i say post them, then the idiots will frequent the ones posted, leaving the real locations nice and quiet.
We should take the Lake district view of dogging, theres loads of quiet places in the Lake district without tourists, they all visit Bowness & Windermere etc.........keep em all in one place
