Don’t suppose there is any possibility of us not getting slagged mercilessly over this?

Ah no your doing your best. No need for anyone to be on your case over this.

Not happy with new website. It would be nice if we could continue to use the old one in its original format. Limited amount of locations and when I click onther locations i get nothing

[MidlifeCrisis]

We are currently building a feature to allow escorts to remove themselves from the map. This will be pushed out in the first set of updates.

This is day 1 of the map, escorts can choose to not show on the map if they prefer, and as it evolves they can choose to provide their exact location.

I have just checked and the maps are still there.

I cant believe the way the DevTeam are ignoring the crystal clear and urgent feedback that this is a terrible idea, and compromises the safety of escorts. Even if there is a randomness applied to make them incorrect, it just means that Garda, campaigners or whoever else might harass the wrong people. I have not seen anyone suggesting that a map would be a useful feature.

It should be compulsory for developers to visit an escort - you would then get an idea of how much care they take to conceal their precise location until they have built some trust with the client.

If you re-read the feedback on this feature you should disable the map immediately. A future possibility for specific escorts to opt out is not giving this the urgency it needs.

This has been responded to multiple times. The map locations are random, the only information we have available is down to sub-region level ie: dublin, dublin 4, ballsbridge. After that its just a random value inside that location.

Do you really think that the Garda would take a pinpoint on our map and start harassing people without any further research?

The option for escorts to opt-out already exists, a number of escorts have opted out.

It has been said to you time & time again that your 'random' locations is actually pin pointing Exact apartment blocks that are used by escorts. Journos & police wont refresh to get a different perspective!
Yes, once the law is passed I do think garda will stake out certain locations because they will need some charges to prove that the law is valid.
I also believe without a doubt that journos who have nothing better to do will also use the tool to out escorts. They have time on their hands & will happily sit on location taking photographs & then match them, rightly or wrongly to escorts.
You are also choosing to eventually give escorts the option of giving exact locations. That can be holiday lets, hotels etc. Some escorts, mostly agencies, wont give 2 hoots about giving that info thereby making those locations unworkable.
I am aghast that you cant see how detrimental this is to our industry in Ireland.
You also still havent replied to me as to where, how, when & who asked for this modification?
I have worked in Ireland for longer than I care to say & I have no clue why any directory would think this is ok, especially with the pending law that shall criminalise the very men you are claiming this map will help?
I honestly cannot understand what the need is for the maps, What is the benefit to your site? Because advertisers & clients do not agree.
Please listen to your customers both escorts & clients when we tell you mapping is unnecessary & dangerous.
Like why not give robbers a rough idea of where we are, it is nearly xmas after all!!
Sorry if I come across harsh but I really do feel strongly about this & its my livelihood as well as mine & clients safety that is at risk.
Does the pros for you beneficially out weigh our safety as escorts & clients?

Percentage wise how many escorts actually know this change has been made? How many use the boards & know they can opt out. Of the 800/900 escorts here, how many have opted out?
Relevent questions I think.
