As a chronic piggybacker. Sometimes, I just dont want to write a full review. It takes creativity to write a good one and if someone already wrote one in detail, i just want to add some of my own thoughts onto their thread
Details with reviews - discussion thread
- Thread starter Forum mod
- Start date
Whatever you write. please god don’t tell us about how amazing you were, how you pleasured her and what a great lover you are.
I am the exact reviewer being chastised here. I’ll use reviewer loosely because I’ve never reviewed in the traditional Perb format and have been chastised by the mods for it. I accept everyone’s POV and I’ll abide by not reviewing but I’ll never agree with it.
When I was a newbie, I could appreciate all manner of reviews but it was never the play by play that got me (well-there was one and one only and yes it led to a fantastic time) but the nuanced reviews that would solidify my opinion on contacting a provider. I don’t believe I’m alone in not caring about the approved template but caring more for what’s in between the lines and if said provider acts like a professional.
This isn’t a knock on what the majority in this thread seem to want-you do you-it’Saul good. But for me, I’ll refrain from reviewing because I like to tell/hear-shes a pro. Communication is on point. Attitude and performance is what you expect etc. The women I’m interested in are higher end professionals and I just want a confirmation that we might vibe and the nuanced low detail reviews do more for me than the opposite.

Would you like to know how i disappointed her though? Ones where i have to tip her just to stop her laughing.
I'm trying to understand this. A lot of the posts after this seem to think you are saying this isn't allowed anymore. Whereas, I am thinking this was meant literally - If you add a full review to an existing review then the second review would be lost if the review thread gets deleted. So a warning of what could happen not a new policy going forwards.
This isn't just about reviews of an individual provider. For example, there's a AMP review thread with almost 400 posts: Swan Lake Milf All Stars community thread
Personally, I like when multiple reviews are in the same thread. Rather than hunting for reviews using the search I can see multiple takes in one place. Search is useful but it is an imperfect tool.
I like separate review threads! Little comments on preexisting reviews are chill, but it feels like a waste when whole reviews are nestled into another thread.
The amp thread with over 400 posts sounds more like those old chatboxes on the side of a website and I'm not into that format, personally... but I'm not a client. I'm some SP who thinks it's dreamy imagining potential clients with a dozen Rina review tabs open doing their due diligence in research 😍
A sidenote: I now see weekly (if not daily) members who proudly proclaim they don't write reviews (or not anymore.) Back in the day people got chastised for not contributing. I still remember being told to write a review when I post my first question in 411, even though I already had. Now many like to advertise themselves as lurkers while only posting questions in 411.
Maybe it's one of the reasons why most "reviews" that get posted these days are written by the usual suspects with their clockwork-like regularity, and congratulating each other in their respective threads.

My two cents:
There's rules, and then there's opinions.
I think not allowing super short reviews with barely any details (quite often from fanboys or for promotion) as a rule makes total sense.
Things like: piggybacking on existing threads, adding too many details, exaggerating too much, aren't things we can define objectively Depending on who you ask, they might each have different subjective interpretations of what is too much detail or what is considered piggybacking. So this kind of heuristic sounds like an opinion.
I don't think we should have rules to enforce a particular person or group's opinion. I think the free flow of the votes, comments, and other interactions will drive the type of reviews and interactions that end up being encouraged, and which ones end up being discouraged.that will lead to the discouraged behavior slowly being phased out, for example using browns to denote money.
But we should let the community naturally evolve into those outcomes and opinions rather than enforce them with rules.

I am quite guilty of writing the play by play reviews that have been heavily discussed throughout this thread as well as others more recently ,
although to be fair I always thought of them as simply more detailed ,
including the providers general demeanour, personality , vibe , style ( hair / makeup ) Unique physical attributes that may by appealing to some and what services she provides and even the way she enjoys providing them .
Plus in my case I can say w certainty I never made them about myself at all , but all about the provider .
Although Granted ,
due to feedback on un popularity ,
Truthfully I really try not to review much anymore .
I believe I am guilty of leaving two in the last year and a half , But will try and lesson my frequency to less since it’s not that popular anyways so it’s more or less kind of pointless .
On a side note ; Well at least I don’t go around trolling other peoples threads complaining about others not contributing enough to my liking ,
or only replying to other members contributions by complaining about the way they chose to leave a review ,
all the while contributing Jack Squat myself and in reality making ZERO useful contributions to the board ever ,
Like at least a couple of members on this board do on a regular basis .

Ditto. Though I can see quite clearly now how some details should be less detailed - such as long and deep digits for example. Beyond that, I don't see myself doing reviews that aren't play by play style. It's much easier for me to describe the session that way. Being concise, picking what to include and what to leave out is actually harder for me. And if it's harder to do, I won't want to do it as much.
I'm a sporadic reviewer for a variety of reasons. If anything I should do them more routinely when I see someone new, if for no other reason than not forgetting the details later. If I forget the details, sometimes I repeat with someone who I didn't really have fun with the first time, largely because I have a terrible memory for names and faces.

I feel the objective for many is to cultivate an echo chamber of like‑minded voices and curated comments. Another common tactic is the “DM for deets” move or, more casually, running an
"engagement‑gate" in the comments.
From what I have seen, a large segment of this community envies sometimes quite openly those who engage in self-promotion even if they know it's fake, kind of like wanting to believe her moans are real.
I think the only way to avoid these kinds of comments or reviews is to ensure everyone follows the structured template, but the community has spoken against that. The cynic in me believes the "issues" raised in this thread for discussion likely will be the next "evolution" of Perb. I already see it as the norm in other forums.
I don't agree about the echo chamber and curated comments. Once someone posts a review, the only ones who can manage the content are the mods and that's not a thing from what I've seen.
I posted a review of Annie about 9 months ago and there were 4 or 5 people who posted reviews of their own in that thread. They basically all concurred with what I had written which I admit was validating but was a much bigger testament to Annie's consistency. And a number of the reviews added details that I didn't encounter in my session such as massage skill or the joy she felt speaking in Chinese. Those aren't details that apply to me, but I'm sure they are useful to others.
Maybe this is just me, but I imagine that adding your review to an existing thread, especially when you are in general agreement, feels less threatening to some newer reviewers and to some younger people who still think it's important to care what some random guys you'll never meet think about what you're saying.
As for the DM for deets I do find it annoying. But if I was really interested...
I don't think reviews get deleted a lot and hopefully that's true. If it's not rare, then maybe that should be a topic for discussion or at least explanation.
I'll make an analogy. The parents of a child are going to the supermarket in the same car. There could be a terrible accident that kills both parents and the child is now an orphan. But does this happen often enough that people should change their behaviour? It would be a different story if they both travelled to the Ukrainian frontline. But which scenario is the better fit here?
This is exactly the point I was trying to make (post #52).
It sounds like you see reviews as a form of advertisement, when in fact, a review should be a review.
And who exactly 'owns' a review? I've had a number of my reviews end up on SPs' sites and not one ever asked if they could copy and paste my review of them.
I get that reviews help PERB and those same reviews can help SPs, and sometimes (unfortunately very seldom) those reviews can help us make decisions about who we want to go see.
Most of the crap posted as 'reviews' should be deleted.
I think boards like perb are a really great asset to have. Engaging in this hobby can be lonely as an independent and as a client. I can see how writing detailed reviews can make you feel part of the boys club and build camaraderie with your fellows. I think this board definitely has value. Especially with how many scammers are in the world. It’s also a fun board for me to hang out on. Over the last billions of years, I’ve met some great gals and guys here. Some who have turned into long term regulars and some who I’ve only met once. Others I will probably never meet or want to meet. There’s somebody out there for everyone.
I think this board has value. And I think the more rules a board has about what kind of reviews should be written, then the less fun it will be. I imagine it takes a certain amount of rebelliousness to partake in this hobby.

I just recently "piggy backed" a review because I thought it helped continuity for anyone wanting to get a fuller picture from varying opinions on the same person without having to search endlessly.
A review can be seen as advertisement, feedback, and/or warnings created by the reviewer. I think that they are very helpful for people browsing or searching perb to look into how other clients feel about different providers. I personally feel that looking at it as any less than a combination of those three would be diminishing the value of such writing.
Obviously, I'm talking about genuine reviews. I'm on this board enough to pick out the differences, and I understand where you're coming from 👀 I'm on your side on that particular issue 100%
