Are ya'll sure we can't give these guys their own folder? Not Relevant is becoming the de facto sex tourist stomping ground. I'll bet a folder called "Russian Women" would get more traffic than the entire rest of the site. And keep these stallions corralled on their own corner of the ranch. Thanks for listening.

Last time we had a vote on this, the majority seemed to support the current solution. I agree that the term 'Not Relevant' doesn't make it any appealing to post there...

I DO NOT want to encourage the discussion such topics, and often the people posting about Russian women/bride topics offer almost nothing useful in return to the site. By moving the stuff to Not Relevant, we message that sex 'tourism' has nothing to do with the the ideals and aims of WTR, which is the way it should be.

You have the stereotype post Aka do all Russians wear fur hats and drink vodka? You have the political flamebait. AKA Bush bla bla Putin bla bla bla . USA sucks Russia Sucks. You have the moron visa posts. I am having a visa problem. (you know the people who do not read the visa information provide or that it is so complicated that they need to contact the embassy) You have the google posts. Aka Some dumbass comment googled up to prove that you read alot, but actually you are just googling your life away. Love sick who refuse to read other posts or the twits who lost money and now what to bitch about. Aka All Russian women are prostittutes or I am in love with this unknown women (who could be Horse with a specialized keyboard) and I know that it is love. You have now the whiners that complain about the quality of posts. Don't like the threads, then stop bitching and post something interesting. Kudos to Mr Spice for trying to "spice" the topics up.

I have posted my fair share of rubbish ("help this romantic fool " being a prime example !!) however, there are lots of interesting topics to keep those with an open mind coming back here, you can discuss everything from high heels to politcs. Not many forums have this diversity, so point newcomers in the right direction and welcome them.
