A Question for the Guys

[trackstar]

What pisses you off the most about PERB?

• No more SW reviews?
• Not being allowed to post a link for an SP in your review?
• SP's getting banned for "Unpaid advertising"?
• Quick draw mods who ban people for speaking their minds?
• People that have never posted reviews but are active on the board?
• SP's that pull a freak job when they get a poor review?
• When the board is not client review focused?
• Feeling like you have to walk on eggshells when you have something to say?

Just curious about what the bro's have to say.

I have no real complaints.

You write that like people have a right to express themselves as they like here. They don't. It's a privilege.

(For those about to cry 'but that's censorship!' you might want to look up the term and understand it before flapping your gums and looking like a retard.)

I have no Complaints because I really don't care.
Its a review board plain and simple. If i let every thing people say get to me
I'd be a sad sorry wreck.

So bitter I didn't write it like anything, I asked a question with examples of things that I have seen people complain about before. Pretty lame with your little shot at the end. Basically, if someone is in disagreement with you, then they are a "retard"? Get over yourself.

Trackstar, IMHO, all of those items are legitimate complaints. I am not sure which one gets to me most.

Like a dictatorship, I am somewhat afraid to speak my mind for fear of being censored.

This bit about not posting reviews on SWs is also nonsense in my mind, as is the ban on posting CL links.

But, it is what it is. It is not likely to change. We do have alternatives, and more people are finding the most prominent alternative. And that is a good thing.

I posted a query recently here and on the other board. To my surprise, the other board had many more replies and input than this one. BUT, this, at least for now, is the more active board.

[*]No more SW reviews?

Dont care cause i dont frequent SW's. If i want to read SW reviews i go elsewhere.

[*]Not being allowed to post a link for an SP in your review?

It's annoying but there are ways around it.

[*]SP's getting banned for "Unpaid advertising"?

That's the way it should be IMHO. This board is a business afterall, and there are plenty of other places SP's can advertise for free.

[*]Quick draw mods who ban people for speaking their minds?

I find the mods fair in most cases. Try doing their job for a week and see how you feel then.

[*]People that have never posted reviews but are active on the board?

This does piss me off, especially when they constantly ask for info but never provide any.

[*]SP's that pull a freak job when they get a poor review?

In some cases they may be justified but it's sad to see some of the SP's jump in and pull excuses out of their ass when they get a bad review or stand up a client. After awhile you learn to see through all the BS.

[*]Feeling like you have to walk on eggshells when you have something to say?

I say what i want. If i get banned for it then so be it.

The lack of SW acknowledgement is the biggest regression to PERB in recent times, as I see it.

I can clearly understand why the actual "reviews" of specific SW's have been ruled out, but I think there wouldn't be any gray area if those who like to cruise the strolls were still allowed to report on the general opportunities and non-specific sights on any given evening.

Considering the price of gas, and the economy in general, it could prove very helpful for PERBites who are at all interested in SW's to have a thread or two where they document where the SW's are congregating and in what numbers.

Eventually the government will probably have more compassion for the marginal members of the economic tree who may indeed need/want to go out and turn tricks at night to supplement regular income. When that happens it is going to be helpful for the would-be cruisers to know when and where the more populated strolls are.

Maybe we can get along without needing to say:

(ahem, and this is fictitious !!!)

"I saw Mary, a 5-foot-7 woman of 32yrs... she was at the corner of Hastings and Richards and seemed quite alert while engaging single male drivers with considerable eye contact"

Now presumably, if the SW's were ever to become organized (that is an oxymoron, I know) they could have a website of their own, with clear web advertisements in print, and then presumably they might qualify under the rule which doesn't allow reviews of working girls who don't have ads elsewhere.

Anyway, "no mention of the street scene" has taken away from PERB in recent years. (and perhaps it has taken away from the street scene too)
