Careful jokacz, ask to much of the mods and you will incur their wrath and that of their peanut gallery. "sheesh"

You all know comments create drama many times. Dumb rude comments, you paid what?, guys dissing each other, outing ROS that the mods have to fix.. shall I go on.. PM if you want more info.

Less work for the mods, no drama, and no bumping. Problems solved, lock as soon as it posts.

Lynn, you know I agree with 99.9% of this, but there is one thing I need to add that is contradictory so here I am going to play devil's advocate.

Allowing comments keeps the reviews more honest. Without any fear of people possibly calling out fake and BS reviews, this site would turn into an e.com website. I think everyone here would agree that the reviews on that old site were worthless for the most part.

just my $0.02

I think there's definitely some truth in that.

I eventually stopped paying attention to how things worked there, but wasn't the bigger problem with the reviews centered around the fact that the girls could too easily get the review deleted if they had a problem with it? Meaning, to get your "free" month, you needed to have a review that would remain up, ergo, you needed to say things the girl wouldn't object to.

That was the sites old practice. For the last few years they did not do that.

Fair enough. But i would still suspect that a lot of people weren't aware of any update to the policy, and therefore still posted reviews based on their previous understanding.

Either way, you're right, the reviews there were worthless - beyond simply letting people know the girls were legit.

LynnT · 07-10-2011, 09:48 AM

I only used E.com for a month or two. I thought it was worthless there so I dont know changes etc it went through. Just what I read about it.

I hear ya GP from the guy POV but there is more negative peanut gallery BS comments than something helpful most times. If guys could keep the BS comments to themselves and add something helpful instead.. but we know that wont happen..

It appears the mods look out for fake reviews.. PM have the mod call it out and do there thing..

The peanut gallery comments make guys not want to review.. they tell me all the time, too much drama and BS comments.. We would actually have more info/reviews coming in if the peanut gallery would shut up. The BS comments are the biggest reason Im told why they dont review and why they stop if they did review..

I know it wont change.. Just sayin'

NormalBob · 07-10-2011, 09:58 AM

There are some BS comments added to reviews. That's where a moderator can step in rather than to lock all threads. The better rule is to not take the attention off of the provider's review with your comments.

if you post , its not always gonna be nicey nicey, cant control it.if you have courage of your convictions the "bs" comments mean nothing.

jokacz · 07-10-2011, 10:21 AM

BS reviews of BS providers begets BS comments.

It's just annoying to see what you think is a new review that turns out to be a year old.

wimps
We then would be over run by unwanted. Rather than providers like mmmm you
We may loose a few good guys doing reviews. But the rats don't come back. mmm a few may try and hide. or try to pretend to not be. But it always comes out.
Would not work as well as one would think
Just my opinion, I like the way it is now. Other than some post 30 days after the last post. Fee, I would like removed. More options in some of the drop downs, for guys that do not know how to edit. And provider can post once and only once to her review. If its a thank u, or a f$$k u. But nope, it will not change.

the drop down I would add more options to first. The last one yes/no just does not cut it.

LynnT · 07-10-2011, 12:44 PM

I wish the fee option was removed too, many guys go by that and seem to disregard it was a special, claused client, or from a year ago etc. If contact info is valid then they can ask rates. This is why we have websites, showcases, phone numbers, and email listed..

Contact, description, and service should be the important parts..

I also wish we could post, you all have a convo about me and I cant even clarify.. or many times I have info I can add to a review thats valid about another and I cant.. Or to say thank you.

I do understand why we cant, some ladies will run their mouth and create too much drama..

LynnT

We may not always agree. But your a good one in my eyes

GP · 07-10-2011, 01:43 PM

Ya know Lynn, you could do what all of the ladies do. When they need a comment made or something corrected, they just put in a call to one of their many WK's and have them do it for them.

offshoredrilling · 07-10-2011, 02:26 PM

Na its much better if they do it them self. That way I can tell bitchy I like or bitchy I don't like. I could give a rats ass who is the

for who. I try not to be. But fail at times.

At the risk of being crass, having the fee included is great info. Not every provider has a website and there are circumstances when that may be enough information to spend your hobby time researching other possibilities.

You probably include TCB as part of the service. If you don't, it's important to know about as well as "first contact" dances that are required.
