What makes a bad or useless review

[masterpoonhunter]

The problem is how do you differentiate between a fan and a schill reliably, there’s a massage provider who has legions of white nights and there’s not a damn thing we can do about them. So has anyone got any suggestions how we can change things? There’s a half dozen sticky’s on advice how to write a useful review, we’ve tried leaving subtle hints, links to sticky’s, an optional review template, even sarcastic humour. And yet “ the sun shines out of her ass go see her” type of review dominates the forums. Before you ask we can’t rig the board so that new members have to read the sticky’s before they make there first post or start deleting reviews that don’t meet expectations but we will consider any suggestions made.

The fan vs schill thing is pretty big. Many who have been here awhile and enjoy spending time on the forum certainly see those 'reviews'. And yeah its a fine line for anyone to outright call them on that or to make comments alluding to them.

In particular the poster who signed up a couple days prior and who gushes on visiting this also new SP or that one. Even though the mods and the posters alike may see that clearly, is it in the spirit of the forum to post something like "you moron, everyone here knows what you are doing, please FOaD". ?? Or something along those lines.

Thankfully the good moderators had the foresight to create the most powerful IGNORE button, something this pooner uses rather diligently.

I think you could also see the inverse, where the stud attractive guy thinks the girls kind of mid because he has experienced hotter girls before.

True... That's the other thing, in this hobby, the reviewer starts his prose with his own experiences before. Maybe he got lucky and scored with a Sydney Sweeney look-a-like, good for him. But as the way this market has been, I'm just happy with women who'll actually DO THE JOB rather than scam, or cheap out on agree services. And if that means a slight five-head and more junk in the trunk, so be it.

Some terms in reviews like:
Goddess, born again with this experience, THE best experience in my life, nobody can be better than her, never gonna see anyone else again, my queen" etc. gives me an impression that these are coming from a fanboy or a person having very little experience in this hobby. Moreover, ymmv is ultimate weapon to mislead.
On the other hand if person mentions that why that was THE experience, why the lady stood out among other providers, her approach to please and skills of making person at ease are the things I find useful.
Lately, I have seen lots of reviews felt same, very few were insightful and detailed.

What makes a bad or useless review

Basically, any reviews which generate more questions than providing answers, due to a lack of the basics.

Sorry if I didn't understand it correctly but is it possible to make it so that each new post by a new member needs some sort of approval before it gets publicly posted. Many forums do that and only give full posting freedom after some time. I know this would increase the workload on existing mods but maybe we can have lower level new post moderators who either approve the new user post or flag it for more review by existing mods? That way lots of issues with posting in wrong forums, posting repeated questions, etc would be take care of?

That might be something to consider, the software is already in the board it’s just not activated but that would be an administrator decision , mods can’t make any changes to the board. Like you say it would cut down on the strange and bazaar place’s some new members post.

Why is that not possible?

On platforms like Facebook groups, Reddit communities, and other forums, new members are often required to read and agree to the rules before their participation is approved. Many of these rules explicitly outline prohibited actions which they force them to write it out e.g. I agree not to troll, be a shill, a white knight, or simp, etc.

It's spelled "SHILL" which means it's pronounced "shill".

If you spell it "SCHILL" it's pronounced "skill" as in school.

Just like I read the entire user agreement when I buy a new iPhone. All 200 pages of it. I think you're over estimating the attention span and literacy of the average internet user. Most of the new posters can't even post in the right sub forum. I won't even mention the older timers. 😊

 

[Larry's Torch]

I blame TikTok and YouTube Shorts.
Attention span killers.

 

[GeeBeeP]

Can't understand w why anyone would tell a provider his perb handle ?

Some SP’s use it as a screening tool. If guy’s an asshole on here he’s likely to be one IRL is the logic I think.

The rules and guidelines here are nothing like a 200-page manual; they're actually pretty short and straightforward. I understand that people these days don't like being told what to do, and sometimes it seems like pushing boundaries is the norm. It's a challenge and an adrenalin rush for many.

Newcomers, and even some opinionated old-timers, might be pushing the boundaries. It happens. What's interesting is that sometimes the mods or admins say the rules are more like guidelines, depending on the situation.

Although my experience as an escort was brief (less than a year), I am friends with some providers, have participated in various group chats and being involved in the community, I am privy into many of the behind-the-scenes aspects of this profession.

Sometimes, providers may ask for your handle in order to better understand your perspective and ensure a positive experience. However, it's important to note that this is not always the case. They may use this information to maintain control over the narrative and attempt to stifle any negative reviews, it's also possible that they might take actions like blacklisting or shadowbanning individuals who they deem to be negatively impact their business in a negative way.

While it is sometimes the case that individuals who behave poorly online are likely to behave poorly in real life as well, and there are instances when those who write excessively positive reviews can be the most creepy, unhygienic and stalker-like clients. And ironically there have been occasions where our favourite clients, the ones providers speak highly of and gush over amongst eachother, have turned out to be harsh critics in their reviews. So it can be quite difficult to judge a reviewer based solely on their reviews.

luckily no one ever reviewed me during my brief stint in the escorting world. And since transitioning into the sugar dating world, it has eliminated the vast majority of these problems and stresses from my life, along with it being much more lucrative

Moreso in regards to 411 posts rather than reviews, but

its pretty annoying when I post a 411 seeking recommendations for a provider that possesses particular qualities.(ex. age, body type etc) and someone comes in and recommends an SP who fits non of the criteria I was looking for. oftentimes you will look at their post history and they are promoting the same one or two SP's all over the site.

Even more annoying is when its an SP who doesn't fit the criteria who comes in and promotes herself in a 411 thread

is that trolling or a lack of social awareness?

And even on those boards there are entitled assholes who want to be spoonfed everything.

Generous use of the ignore function improves my perb experience greatly. Don't fret about trolls and idiots, just put them on ignore.

 

[carvesg]

The cause comes from both reasons you mentioned , you should add to that that the requests or questions in the 411 section are not always specific enough specially from new members.

I see a lot of new members not mentioning the location, approximate age, body type , hair colour or any specific details important to them. The member once they receive advices they are getting bent out shape for not receiving exactly what they were looking for and finally formulating further down the thread their real expectations.

 

[masterpoonhunter]

My ignore list started off with a few but grew a bit exponentially awhile back. Had to think, was I being too harsh?
Naw, saves me from getting banned for taking the gloves off and letting the entitled socially retarded trolling asshats have it.
So ignore it has been

Which reminded me of this little rule of thumb.
