Should there be a requirement that articles posted on TUSCL be on topic?
Maybe there is a requirement for that already? If not, what do you all think about that? I'm already at peace with Muddy's satirical creative writing experiments, but pages and pages of someone's life story that is completely off topic is a bit much.
Got something to say?

I read it, thanked the person for sharing, and downvoted it. Just like I downvote nearly all the pre-COVID reviews that have been popping up since the clubs reopened because people all of a sudden want VIP status again. It's not being petty, it's just reality. The best club in my town sucks balls right now, and the second best club just got itself mostly right because a cross town club has been kicking their ass by opening things up the right way. Some asshat posted a review from October 2019 for one place that was nothing like the conditions in the club right now.
Considered upvoting the article because it was well written, briefly, but whether it was interesting is beside the point. I'm not going round and round again about people insisting on talking about whatever grabs their attention on a titty bar forum. As long as the gutter politics has its own corner the rest is tolerable. As for the reviews, most years I'll let something go if it's interesting enough. But the whole point of the reviews is to help people sort out whether a club is worth going to. Putting any review up that's pre-COVID right now is unhelpful at best. Selfish, fraudulent garbage at worst.
If they need VIP credit they can write an article. Maybe even one that's on topic.
As far as my stuff goes everything put out will at least have a foot in the mongering universe in some way on here. The satirical stuff I sometimes do, I understand some of TUSCL’s old guard aren’t in love with it but I do also get good feedback too with that stuff and I think there is room for it, what maybe 3 or 4 articles a month on TUSCL at the moment if even that. That all being said something totally unrelated should probably go in the discussion board. I gotta say no.
Discussion topics can be about anything. It is polite to put "OT" in the title of the post if it is off topic.

Okay, I'm the guy who wrote the (unpublished) article about Race and Partying in America. At the time I thought it was relevant and reflective of much of the conversation that's been going on here lately. After it was rejected and after reading this thread, I get it. An article like that doesn't belong on a titty-bar site. It was a heart-felt effort, but I probably wrote it more for myself than for public consumption. I was pondering what's gone wrong with this country and reminiscing about the "good old days," The events of the last several years make me feel sad.
