Why the advertisers do not post on forums as much as you'd like them to?

[MrBlonde1]

guys this is why we are here, surely?

Well, thats 20 minutes of my life i won't get back.

This thread got Sophie posting again. That's progress!

[MidlifeCrisis]

As always touting yourself. That's all you did and always do. As far as I remember that's all I ever said about you and will say about you because I have no other opinion on yourself. I believe my post is not rude in any way and my language is civil enough. x

Rina's posts are mostly blatant touting, but where's the harm in that? If escorts participate fully on the boards, then part of the reason that they do will be to get noticed by clients.

We are simple suckers, and if we didn't like being flirted with sometimes we wouldn't be here.

I think clogging forum threads with advertising would spoil them. A bit of creative touting just adds colour.

Hi Amy.

I was here with you. There was an "us" and "them" thing going on a couple of years ago. Both sides gave it plenty. I see some of the old war veterans posting here in this thread. Just like the good old days. Then we have giggsie, who wasn't there (apparently), but who has "read up" on the events and now see the need to try and bring it all back up... Why Giggs.

I see the more mature are willing to leave it all behind. Just the immature seem to like to carry it on...

I remember very well all the crap that used to be flying back and forth, but I don't recall which "side" was worse than the other, both as bad as each other in my opinion. But here's the thing at least Rachel is still posting under her own name, and owning up to the fact that she was in the wrong, while the others are hiding behind new user names clearly letting us all know that they were here before, but taking no responsibility for their part in it.


But no matter how bad it was with them, there still was over all respect for the escorts on here, but this last year there is a total aura of trashiness about the place. And i believe it's due to the lack of moderation on multiple user accounts. some times I laugh here when you know that a user account is quoting and thanking and answering his own other user account posts.

It is, isnt it...

Maybe try starting a thread about Rachel and see how it goes...

Would love too but it would end up being an attack on all side,s , with people trying to settle old score or so they think ffs
This place is becoming the pits
We have being warning the mods about the problems here for a long time and people who should have been banned were allowed to post their bullshit and vindictive posts.
Doc banned some of these and they were allowed back in , he packed it in and who could blame him.
Some posters here were very happy about that.
Too many people who never review , are allowed too much freedom here and act like some of the biggest kids ,boast that they see loads of escorts, ask them why they don,t review and they say it,s disrespectful but yet are the same people who can be very abusive and very smart to escorts here.

I,m finding harder to post here now.
I only post to have a bit of craic tbh and when I meet the girls , they will be more comfortable meeting me.
Because of the forums , one girl here came to my house , her first time ever doing that. Asked her why and she said because of the forum , she was very comfortable about meeting me like that, she would not do that normally but only for 1 or 2.
An other text me once to meet for a drink and we had a great funny night.

Call me a ass licker or white knight and tbh I don,t care, as long as I have a good time with the escorts here then that all that matters

There are dozens of threads celebrating beautiful sex workers. Ignore this thread if you don’t like it, but don’t be afraid to allow people express their thoughts.

I just thought we could share some ideas on how to make it a nice environment for escorts to want to interact with the potential customers.
So, Ladies & Gents, any constructive ideas?

Sorry to say this to you Lulu but I think review boards and forums are going the way of Myspace Bebo and the polar ice caps. Make sure you keep your C.V. and Linkedin up to date
Escorts who wish to engage with clients online can now easily do so on twitter, facebook and even their own websites as developing and hosting costs have become so affordable. They then have control over the type of environment in which they can interact rather than trying to placate clients and appeal to moderators.
I began a thread on this subject which was subsequently locked. It began with a selection of tweets from a sex worker on her thoughts about review and discussion forums.

The thing I hate the most is that men have taken away power from workers to choose whether to participate in these boards.
They have made these boards gain enough traction to validate or invalidate a workers "worth" as defined by their subjective experience
So where has thus misogynistic practice lead too? Workers being forced to tolerate this behaviour for fear of losing income.
So, if workers oppose this dehumanisation & scrutiny, they can't do anything about it because of the power imbalance between client/worker


Obviously it doesn’t apply to all posters or even the majority, but I think a lot of it applies to the overall culture that pervades.

[laura boldrini]

Sometimes this place is like pimps ville.

Other times it is a complete mystery.


Also some posters seem to like to fight and carry on grudges from long ago.

Gets very boring.

I see our point and most of the older posters + every escorts who commented here being proven in this thread over and over again .

I think everyone seem to agree that there is some kind of filter missing on the boards which would prevent trolls and attract genuine posters.

In an industry that has been marginalised from the get go and now marginalises it’s clients in mainstream media on daily basis, where escort’s consent have been questioned by conservatives and insecure women Genuine posters from escorts and punters should be celebrated and somehow rewarded .

Isn’t it ironic that the reason why escort-ireland has become so successful is being used to prove the point of those who marginalize escorts and punters , the same people that threats the income and existence of the website . All that for the sake of what , the result is cristal clear very few escorts see a point in posting or engage in the forum despite of the website facilitate it.

Back to my point a new category of reviewers should be created where it shows the punter has made the booking through pm , similar to some adult workers websites and similar to amazon verified purchase review . Both parties would win escorts would be attracted to the forum and the trolls will be filtered .

I have been on the boards for over 4 years now, and disagreed with Rachel on many a point, but have never been disrespectful to her, and in return she has never been disrespectful to me.
I can only speak for myself but she posted on this thread and fair play to her, and got nothing but abuse, so thought i'd say something nice to a fellow escort as I am pleased to see so did Kate. xx

Admirable as your defence of a fellow escort is, I am afraid Rachel is not the complete innocent in this and often uses her posts to wage vendettas by using sly little digs. In person, yes she can be pleasant and friendly but the sly little digs are never very far beneath the surface, it is a part of her nature, maybe some sort of a defensive mechanism. And I was not here 3/4 years ago when much the same stuff was going on, although I have seen a few old threads. I am afraid she has a certain effect on some people and a different effect on others. And Rachel, you were muttering about revealing something about me on a recent thread, in fairness in response to a jibe from me. Feel free, it will be an irrelevance to me anyway.

The fact that a new member can join up and post immediately is a major problem here. There should be at least a 24 hour wait before a new member may post. This way nasty troll attacks are minimised.

[sixfourblond]

The problem is the girls are for real and most of the posters are anonymous idiots who are probably on their fourth or fifth profile and they can talk all the crap they like. I often wonder how many are actually real punters at all or just fantasists.


There is a lot of rubbish talked about touting but the vast majority of punters aren't on these boards which is just as well for the girls because they are mostly miserable gits whinging about rates. In actual fact any girls posting on here are open to such unfair scrutiny I don't see why they bother at all.

I said last year this place had gone to the dogs, and that it was a disaster area. Naturally I got slagged off. But popping in every few months or so it has got really bad. The only way of salvaging anything is tighter moderation and some carrot to keep the girls on board. Without them the place is finished.
