Is posting reviews a bad idea?
- Thread starter lenny
- Start date
Well according to the guys that review alot, they seem to think only they should be allowed on the site, and the hundreds, or even thousands of lurkers should not.
However, that would mean the site would have about 50 reviewers, and a few dozen paid advertisers.
Eventually the paid advertisers leave since there is too few people to advertise to.
The site goes broke, and shuts.

The board would be much better if everyone is just allowed to post whatever they want with little interference form the mods. The advertisers should not have special rights other than perhaps having a special advertisers forum where they can post pics, availability, etc.
As it sits right now "good" reviews of paid advertisers sit well with the board. "Poor" reviews of paid advertisers generally get deleted. Reviews of non advertisers usually don't have enough information unless PM's are exchanged. Bashing of paid advertisers results in a ban. ...

I agree that I do not think bad reviews should be deleted except in extreme cases, paid advertiser or not. Name calling, etc should not be tolerated obviously. But people are smart enough to be able to recognize when a review is false or really emotionally charged and they should be smart enough to look for other reviews as well and then they will see if the lady has a stellar reputation otherwise. If a lady has her own side to the story I think she should post it but not participate in further discussion or arguments. Let the readers decide for themselves. Of course it is often hard to take a completely sterile approach to a negative review of yourself because it is not simply a negative review of your business, it is very very personal and often the reviews take attack on a lady's looks which can be hard to just ignore and remain business-like. This is not the business for everyone!
...i love that a forum such as this exists.....i can discern a bad review from a medium review from a good review. Those that post with clarity and enthusiasm...have obviously two things...wordsmithing ability...and have had an enjoyable experience.
Given that most "posts" have 20 to 1?...maybe more/less....of viewers versus posters....it is apparent that most viewers stay silent. How does that translate into posting? Not sure. I have had ONE bad experience on here...and it wasn't even bad. It was just not up to expectation. That was my very first visit...and I'm hardly an expert. None of the names that follow were bad based on what I saw on here.... I have seen Annalise....Miss T...Penny....Nina....Miss Jasmine...Miss Revenue Canada....
Each and all were and are amazing in their own right. Miss Canada is a bitch. She wins.

Being one person of many reviews on here.
I feel we should all post em.
I could care less what people say about my reviews, or me for that matter.
If you like me great. If you don't. F*ck off.. plain and simple
I have never gone on the advice of just one person, du to the fact that
yes, there are shrillers out there.
Its a review board... plain and simple, thats why I joined. to see reviews
and learn about the gals out there.
If you run off scared because a few people just can't seem to get outside
and get a life. whats the point of even being here???
there will always be others that will shoot you down, in all walks of life..
Post the reviews, if they are legit then all is well.

theres the thing.
a review doesn't have to be a great long work of art..
a simple I saw so and so and she was great will do for the
ladies who are over reviewed..
Its nice to get input from different people, because everyone is
different, and every SP has good and bad days.
its also nice to read reviews from a few different sources

I wasn't aware of anyone expressing that viewpoint. I have, however,
seen some saying they prefer not to give their food away to the
vultures in which case they'd go hungry themselves. Consequently,
in order not to give away their gems for nothing, or to those who
give back nothing in return, they are no longer posting reviews. Or
if they do, they are only of those ladies they don't plan on seeing
anymore, whether the SP is good or bad. And some are only sharing
their info with worthy contributers via PM. However, from the replies
in this thread, it seems that these kinds of attitudes and methods
will not be accepted by everyone. Some just don't care about
shooting themselves in the foot by reviewing, and others love the
drama and ego boost of being in the public eye. Furthermore, if you
want to get in the PM loop you may have to post a few reviews.
I don't usually read reviews and seldom post them. I'll say that ********* was a great experience but I sure won't give details because what she did with me she shouldn't be expected to do with you. YMMV applies in every case. I think that negative reviews are far more useful to ID thieves, those with diseases, drug problems etc. I also think the girls should have a place to post warnings to keep each other safe as possible. For that this site is most useful. Other than that I just like to read an write bullshit for fun.
But some are concerned that most readers have not given back.
And why should vultures like that take my food & make me starve.
Well, i guess you could say he was a fool to offer his food to the
vultures. But now he is saying, no more, and fuck that. And let
the vultures starve, instead. Capiche?
Yup, last Saturday i tried to book with two ladies i was interested in
and was unable to. Actually i booked with one of them, but she later
said she cancelled becuz one of her regulars {a non reviewing vulture,
perhaps?} called her after me. I ended up wasting several hours =
money + my life.
Perhaps you can appreciate the situation when you book an appointment,
as per the example above, and then get cancelled?
Sure there are many escorts in this city, but so what, there are also a
proportionate amount of pooners.
As for my girls, why would they still be available to me if guys keep
posting their reviews publicly, as opposed to PMing useful PERB members,
thereby inviting many vultures to partake of them? Is it so difficult to
comprehend that such reviewers may be screwing themselves?
No, i am not starving. I have found a keeper or two. But do you think
i'm going to post a review with their contact details, and let the vultures
swoop in and steal them away?
Maybe it hasn't slowed as much as you think with ladies that i am
interested in? Mostly reviewed CL SP's who are, i suspect, doing a
booming business because they are undercutting PERB advertisers
by 25-50%. I mean, why would a guy pay 200-300 per hour when
he can get the same quality for 100-150?
A lady charging 150 and making 450 a day is ahead of the lady
who charges 300 and makes only 300 a day. With the first lady
it's a win-win situation both for her and her customers.
What is petty about not throwing the children's bread to the leeches?
Are you trying to convince me to shoot myself? ;
Fine. I'll throw out these leeches a bone or two from time to time,
after i am done with it. Maybe that will keep them busy & away
from discovering my food supply ;
Let's hope not. I am not bi ;
Sure, but who pays you to be able to pay for it ;
And who posts those reviews that you love so much? Not you.
And where would this site be w/o those reviews?

If those of you who don't want to write reviews for other members , so be it. I fail to see the difference between staying and not posting reviews versus leaving and not posting reviews.
Shocking but true: perbers (& other review board members) make up an extremely small portion of an sp's client list. Over 90% of the people she sees do not even know about review boards.
lenny, et al: It is hard to believe that one decent review is going to impact your ability to book an appt with someone you want to see, provided you do your booking with some sort of advance notice. Call at 9:00pm for a 9:15 appt, good luck. Call at 6:00pm for the same time, & you will probably have some success. It is likely that that sp cancelled in favour of the reg because he had called earlier & she was honouring a previous commitment. He just hadn't confirmed before she received your call. If you were the reg, you would have wanted & expected the same sort of consideration.
The perb advertisers get more traffic here because they advertise, so they appreciate all the members. I guarantee they would be just as busy by placing their ad money somewhere else & getting those clients instead. Talk to 10 different sps & I would bet half of them don't know about review boards at all, let alone that there are so many and that some of them have free advertising. Talk to 10 different clients, & I would bet half of them don't use the internet to find sps at all, but rely entirely on print ads in GS, B&S, or their towns equivalent.
This reluctance to post reviews, if we assume that perb has such an overwhelming impact on the sp's schedule, will also backfire. They are in the biz to make $$, being busy means more $$, more $$ means they will keep working longer. Less $ means they will pack up, quit and go home. Why bother if the only guys booking appts are snow white and lenny. You can't pay the rent with 2 clients lol.
A busy sp is a happy sp. If you contribute to her "busyness" with a good review, & let her know, you can bet she will show her appreciation.

fascinating stuff...
...albeit a bit hardnosed and melodramatic. I am completely happy with the idea of a "review" board...it goes both ways...if I were a jerk, crass, or guilty of unseemly behaviour...I would guess that information would be shared.
So, for the ones who keep their noses clean, do what they say they will do, enjoy doing it, and pay their taxes on time (damn..busted), then a review board is a wonderful thing. I would never hire a lawyer based on the lowest rate quoted...reviews and information make the choice infinitely easier. That has monetary worth.
Be well and enjoy the wonderful emergence from this fucking thing called winter.
kindest regards,
eddie.

Did anyone say they were leaving?
If you stay you can do many things here besides posting reviewsI fail to see the difference between staying and not posting reviews verss leaving and not posting reviews.
that you couldn't do if you left. Such as send reviews by PM.
I'm a believer that it would take merely one vulture to thwart that plan.
Let alone the nests of them that swoop in whenever a reviewer of a
gem says he'll PM contact info to those interested. Then multiply that
number at least several times more when such info is made publicly
available via a review to non member lurkers as well.
It is possible. Still my point was that if he was a vulture he was messing
with what should have been my girl.
I don't see the point. In what universe would PERB SP's have only
two clients in total to share amongst the dozens of SP's. There
will always be reviews shared in one way or another as long as
there are SPs willing to trade their assets for compensation. And
i will probably continue to contribute them, but with restrictions
rather than foolishly.
Assuming that all SP's have such a good nature, they also have a human
nature including tendencies towards selfishness, and her "busyness"
consequently could result in, as a possible non worst case scenario, that
she is not able to book you when you are available to see her. Worse
case scenarios would be that with all the "busyness" she ups her rates,
maybe out of your price range, her service quality goes down, she has
no time for you anymore because she has found other custumers that
are preferable {e.g. more generous, handsome, well endowed, etc}.
Then get yourself an email list lol.
Cool, which means what 10 people in a week? These girls see 10 people in a day, some of them. Again, very little impact. And the impact might be for a week or two, max.
According to you, he was her regular client. You were the vulture, infringing on his time.
In your world of not posting reviews, of course. However, my point still remains that perb reviews and members have only a small impact on the busyiness of the majority of sps available. Some sps use perb as their main advertising, so notice it more. But many do not use it at all, do not get reviewed, yet are still seeing many many clients per week.
And why wouldn't they prefer clients who spend more & are not jackasses, in other words, more preferable.
A busy sp may not be able to book you on short notice. Suck it up and book with advance notice. Not exactly rocket science, just organized thinking.
Why. PERB is quite convenient.
Possibly, it depends. There are many factors at work, many variables
and possible outcums. The bottom line, though, is that posting the
details of a gem increases the chances of me being inconvenienced
or even losing out completely. Any significant possibility of such
things occurring is greater than no chance. Therefore, the rational
course of action is not to post them.
No, the definition of a vulture, a word i introduced to this thread,
is someone who does not contribute reviews but leeches off of
those by others. So one can be a regular of a SP and a vulture
at the same time.
I guess they might, which is my point, unless their good nature you
spoke of ruled and caused them to see me {the less prefered client}
instead {of the vultures} because i had reviewed them.
