Thank you for pointing out some interesting results of posting comments on pricing.
This was an attempt to discuss if the mods should limit comments on pricing as they were clearly doing, even if not intentionally.
Not about what other hobbiest think of the person who posted the pricing comments.
It is true that comments on pricing effect a ladies business, just as comments on beauty, or lack of it, odor and other comments do.
Having someone tell you that you overpaid can certainly be painful...or helpful...if you had the proper information in the first place, you may have made a different decision.
But it depends on how you take the info.
It seems this post was really resovled by Wakeup's first comments.
Mods, this thread is not providing value and I for one appreciate your letting it go on as long as you did.
Please close this post as further responses are unlikely to be on point.

I think some people may have a problem with why you post pricing comments, which, as the OP has clearly implied himself, is to manipulate and influence pricing in a downward direction.
Maybe you don't realize this, but one could argue you are doing the exact same thing to the reviewer when you make pricing comments like this. Maybe you don't intend for it to come across this way, but whenever I read one of your pricing comments, it sounds like you are basically telling the reviewer he overpaid and he's an idiot for doing so.
Not everyone here has the "I don't care what you say so fuck off" mentality. In my opinion, pricing comments only discourage people from writing reviews over a certain dollar amount. Frankly, I don't blame guys here for not wanting to write reviews on this board. No grown man wants to be told by anonymous posters on a hooker board how to spend his money, or that he overpaid and got "ripped off". One of the reasons why TER has so many reviews of high-dollar providers is because nobody can comment on them publicly.
You'd be better off contacting the provider directly. Many of the providers that get reviewed here (especially the high-dollar ones) may not even know they have reviews on this board. Even if they do know, I would guess they aren't going to bother reading comments from people who have no intention of seeing them in the first place.
