My Eccie Goodbye

Providers should be able to report reviews from guys they didn't see, but the "how" is a puzzle. I'm sure there are more than we think that just pick a girl with a lot of reviews, and fake one with her to get premium access

2nd that motion

[old door builder]

Good point Mizzou82. I will 3rd that motion with OTR. I haven't been on here very long and I made some mistakes at first. I try to learn from the older members on here. OTR and I have shared some good bbq. He is a friend and has given me some good advice. It is sad that some providers are leaving because of the bullying and trash talking. Show some respect. If you can't say something nice keep it to yourself. I hope everyone has a nice day!!

If a provider recognizes a review that is fake, normally she contacts a moderator who shares with her that she may dispute not only the accuracy of the review, but also whether the meeting place by creating a thread in the Coed Discussions forum.

#24 - Disputed reviews will not be removed by staff unless the request is made by the thread starter. In situations such as this, the proper protocol for addressing a review in question is to post a rebuttal to the review in that city forum's coed discussions area. Staff will be happy to do some basic investigation to confirm the validity of such reviews, however removal will only take place when requested by the thread-starter or in extreme cases where it has been proven false, there is an admission by the reviewer that the review is indeed false, or the reviewer failed to cooperate with staff's efforts to confirm validity. In cases where a reviewer is found to have posted a review of a session which did not take place, or posted blatantly false information within a review, the reviewer will be subject to disciplinary action at the discretion of staff, which could lead to loss of posting privileges. Along those same lines, if the reviewed party is found to be making false or inaccurate claims to staff in an attempt to trigger staff action against a reviewer or the removal of a review, that party will also be subject to consequences, up to or including temporary or permanent loss of account access. These measures exist to preserve the integrity of the information posted in our review forums, and will be taken when these circumstances exist.

Ummm, no.

Guys, the more we make the providers rely on ECCIE for business, the pool of good providers will dwindle.

One no or one full of shit review shouldn't (and doesn't) ruin ones career. Some providers need to learn this as well as their white knights. That's the way this is supposed to work.

IMHO there are two problems: the aforementioned over reliance on ECCIE and gentlemen (and sometimes ladies) not respecting the boundaries of the provider / hobbyist relationship. People have gotten too emotionally involved with one another so hobbyists (some of them) become white knights.

Captain, I second your thoughts with one exception, the over-reliance on eccie part.

Gals I have dated all have ID's on multiple boards. And source most of their business from non-eccie boards, and repeat clients. Frankly, only a few are active on eccie, even if a fair amount do have ids here. I also note that outside of the south central part of the states, the other eccie local boards are very quiet.
However, this does tie in to the earlier thoughts in this thread, where Ari and Jaycee have said goodbye, as the gals on my dance card also don't actually rely on eccie in the first place,

I agree, but I wasn't talking about "no" reviews. I'm talking about newbs writing fake reviews for PA

[CaptainKaos]

Agreed there. ECCIE should make PA harder to get.

Perhaps guys get verified by verified gals?
Board prob wouldn't go for that, but still.

And, that might also limit the amount of BP stuff

That is indeed how things are SUPPOSED to work. It is often nit how they do work. A part time lady with 15 good reviews over a year can and does get ruined--or seriously hurt by a couple bad reviews. Much depends upon the market--how big and how active it is.

Assuming that the bad reviews were uncalled for:
This is why some gals simply rely on their regulars, and other boards.

I think those are two related but separate points about reviews:
--Yes, sometimes a well reviewed lady has things happen where her service does go from good to poor
--However, the damage is done just the same whether the bad reviews are deserved or not

As to the comment about regulars, I would agree--I think most ladies who can get along comfortably with enough regulars would prefer to do so. Other boards--they all, over time, seem to be gradually taken over by the bad elements. It is a matter of time, and more importantly, how much. If the mods are not allowed/unwilling to actually enforce a level of decorum eventually the board declines.

And Old-T brings out an accurate short version of the issue at hand.

He's a class act that guy. Maybe when I grow up ...

And the OP too — what a gal. Happy retirement, Miss!

You got the second part of that spot-on.

The first part is seriously debatable, but I thank you for the kind words no matter how misguided they might be.
