These boards and Reviews .. how important are they really.

[samlad]

What complications to you envisage Sam?

Where do I start? The soirées, the rumours and gossip, the divides, the jealously and spitefulness, breach of confidentiality, the drunken comments online, the expectations or obligations of a discounted/mate's rate service, lies and deceit, etc. Clients could access the private forums and read PM's.

You probably think that I have little faith in people, but then again, these just a handful of the things my team deal with on the forums on a day-to-day basis, and most of these issues could be avoided if people kept things professional. In fact, we deleted a negative review for an escort the other day from a guy who didn't intend to pay for sex, he just wanted to text chat with a lady. After a few hours of texting each other, they decided to meet up just to watch tele and chat, and when he prompted the idea of sex, he was 'horrified' that she told him he would have to pay. That's the mentality of some people. A couple of days ago, we also had an escort posting on behalf of a banned client who was sat right next to her.

If you give some people an inch, they will take a mile.

Here bloody hear. About time someone spelled out exactly where being 'friends' gets you. A thread or two is only the start.

Whereas I appreciate your concerns, you are not going, nor can you expect to stop certain friendships and relationships behind the scenes. In any case this is off topic and has nothing to do with the OP.

as i said before more then 80 % of my clients don't even bother to look on the forum.
they are afraid that it might harm them.so they just go for the profiles they like and they make up their own mind.
not all of escorts who do not aloud reviews are bad service.
they normally opt out because they got a bad review because we cannot make everybody happy.
myself even if i get 1,2,3 bad reviews i would still not opt out reviews couse i am sure i would get after much more good reviews.
you cannot connect with everybody ,but that doesnt makes you a bad service provider
if you know what i mean

Nobody is suggesting that a girl that opts out is a bad service provider. The question is, will opting out really affect her business?

Were you paying them for their time and companionship while gaining this information ?

The majority of my clients are non members and have no wish to be ,, they just want a little of what they are not getting at home and then go home to their wife's to get the things that are available like a pretty comfortable relationship that they enjoy,
I believe that married guys who are seeing escorts for nights out "meet and greet" type of nights or coffee and chit chats and become friends are totally dissrespectfull to their partners and might as well be having an affair, but don't think they are doing anything wrong as they are with an "Escort" ..
I never discuss the forums or reviews with any of my clients and don't give a fiddlers fuck if they leave me one or not ,, their review to me is their return visits time an time again.
If your percentages are any way on the mark sure you will only get a very small number of guys with opinions to it as most don't even read here, hence an "Elite" forum members only view not the majority of site visitors

to answer your question without going off topic...............no.
it doesn't affect business

Nope. What's more several ladies have said that several times. Nothing will stop a lady working and reviews count for quite little, infact lots of reviews can put people off.

Too many peeps on these boards live and breathe reviews and posting. The clever ones know only too well it makes no odds apart from if you want to see board members and be recommended to other board members. Which counts for...ten percent .

Interesting topic, well worth discussing.

What is the point? Well I only started posting and reviewing regularly fairly recently, however I would have referred to the reviews prior to this and ocassionally looking at the forum, purely for entertainment and seeing what was going on. At first I was probably overly going on visual assessment in picking who I would contact. However now I'm more likely to visit someone I already know.

As for the forums, I am addicted. I will post on topics I haven't much interest in. I will check back regularly on my posts to see how they are doing. I will be disappointed if I start a thread and it doesn't go anywhere. Pathetic behaviour admittedly, but I suppose I'm looking for approval and ego massage that I don't get in my normal life.

As for reviews the important points I would look for are accuracy of photos and indications that the escort is pleasant and affable company. When I started this first it was more wham, bang and then out the door but I need a bit more than that now.


By the numbers that James quoted it would seem that these forums and reviews may not have as much relevance as we here think.

I'm not trying to stop friendships, I am raising my concerns in relation to a point you made in the original post about being friendly with two girls, and you asked me to address what complications I envisaged, so I addressed them.

The boards are polysemic in that people use them on various levels. Some people want to idle the hours away, some people want to actively chat about the sex industry and its political standing and place in the community, some want to engage in business, some just want to post pictures of tits and fanny and some a bit of everything. Not everything is important but some of it is. For example, we promote the ethos of safe sex, help escorts in trouble and give facts about STI's. An Xbox isn't essential but it's fun for some people. As for reviews, we average about 70 a day, so yes, they are important whether it's for an ego massage, a friendly comment for the escorts' benefit or to help out other punters. Take your pick.

You give these stats based on two people who are friends, so that doesn't really constitute as a part of the whole in my opinion, but that's my opinion.
