The latest Anita review (in the Massage section of Vancouver Reviews) at https://perb.cc/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=48779 is closed with no replies!
Is this where Perb is headed?
- Thread starter luv-em-n-lv-em
- Start date
Moderators have deleted several replies. I may be switching to Canada Adult Review. At least there, the consorship makes some sense. I guess you're not allowed to dislike advertisers here.
Yeah, that's too bad. It does give the appearance that they're giving special treatment to advertisers even though a lot of it has been self inflicted due to her postings turning off a lot of perberts.
But he's new, so I'll give him the benefit of the doubt that he has a good reason for what he did and that he'll post an explanation.

Some replies on that thread were derogatory in my opinion. If a poster writes a good review, what is the point of slamming it? His review is his review, no matter what anyone else has to say. Let anyone who wants to verify it by booking his own session, write his own. One man's medecine is another man's poison. I felt the reply of one particular poster in this instance was entirely inappropriate, and was "designed" to hurt the advertiser's business.
Personally, I applaud the mod's decisions to strip the comments away. It was pure bullshit!

I didn`t see all the replys prior to all the posts being pulled,but having been around a bit,I would say it is a review that I would take with a grain o salt,,,,,myself,I don`t believe a word of it,and if true,twas a paid for review for promotion,luv-em-n-lv-em said:
sorry if I hurt anyones feelings,I call`em as I see em

you know......I don't see the big deal here....or understand this to begin with .....I mean....isn't someones post or review suppose to be an insight or useful information for the people on here so they can decide if it's worth going to see specific Sp's or whatever??
How is it then that people are suppose to get info about providers on here??

But does that mean that anyone who had a different opinion can't rebut the comments of the reviewer? I suppose he could start a new thread giving his own opinion.Euro_SZabina said:
My view is that this is a "REVIEW BOARD" and people should be allowed to post Reviews. If we agree or disagree with the Review we should respectfully say why without insulting others who have just as much right to be here as you or I. To delete other perbert's posts /opinions does little to enhance the credibility of this board.
Facts vs opinion
There are facts, and there are opinions. A lot of people have trouble differentiating between the two. Most reviews contain both facts & opinions, but some have trouble finding where the facts end and the fiction begins. Editing a review board cuts at it’s very heart. What is the point of having a review board where reviews get deleted? What purpose does a “No Review List” serve?
IF the purpose of this board is to exchange views on providers, then this board has failed miserably. According to blowhard, I can only access info through backchannels. By that logic, I have to PM my experience with a provider to a list of “friends”. Um, that sounds like e-mail to me, not a community board. A paid advertiser gets a negative review, so what? If the comments get personal, lock down the thread, BUT LEAVE THE EVIDENCE!!! That way, when you start banning members for flaming, they will know why. By removing the evidence, everyone is scratching their heads wondering WTF just happened?
Common sense tells us that having sex with another human being is a highly subjective experience. One person’s experience with an escort may be markedly different than that of another person. There are a significant number of factors to consider – attitude, personality, chemistry, attraction, etc., etc., etc. The notion that any escort is going to perform the same way with every client is nothing short of insane.
Now, if you have an experience you’d like to share with the group, I would love to hear it.
If you just want to gossip, and call her a biatch, save it for your therapist. Before perb, there were other boards where the reviews were less flowery and more informative.
maybe perb has run its course . . .
Szabina, don’t ever let the anonymous ranting on a review board sully your sparkling smile !Euro_SZabina said:

It's not that hard. Thanks to this board my experiences have been generally very good. But that doesn't mean all clients will be happy with all providers all the time. I'm sure I have been saved a lot of WOTs or worse, because people said "shill" or posted responses of different experiences.Euro_SZabina said:
If good reviews are protected by not allowing replies there are a number of bad things that could result.
- The number of shills will go way up.
- responses to reviews (if allowed at all) will be in other threads which will make a real mess of things.
- We'll have even less (real) reviews and once that ball gets rolling, the knowledgeable PERBs will go elsewhere and this could become a newbie board.
I'm not saying that this will happen, but sometimes it is valuable to consider how bad things might get in the worst case, so that we avoid going in that direction at all.
I read the review AND luv-em-n-lv-em 's posting (before it was deleted)
If you catch the drift of luv-em-n-lv-em's handle you can appreciate why the post was deleted. luv-em-n-lv-em's post was pure speculation, critical and hurtful, maybe he had his turn and he wants to spoil it for the rest of us
Anita has invested a lot of time and effort with PERB and this crowd is a lot tougher than the Better Business Bureau ... I will give her the benefit of the doubt ...
Remember that luv-em-n-lv-em's post cost him nothing; on the other hand Anita advertises on PERB, provides a unique service and luv-em-n-lv-em's post probably cost her $$$
The moderator made the right call on this one

Almost three years ago I had a lovely pre-Christmas dinner attended by various Perverts and four lovely professional ladies - all of whom were advertisers here. All four ladies were unanimous in that they had been told by the brass here that advertiser status allowed them to post a specified number of self-reviews under an assumed identity over a specific time period. I can't remember the details anymore, but they were insistent that this was the case.
It may or may not be the case now, but these self reviews can usually be spotted a mile away.
This is PERB.

This is PERB.
A self-defeating policy that could only lead some to lack confidence in the credibility of any review. Why would it be necessary if the services these ladies offered was enough to warrant legitimate favourable reviews being posted by real reviewers?Big Trapper said:
OT, In defence of perverts
I assume you mean Perberts. Let's not give perverts a bad name, eh!Big Trapper said:
I have to agree with you here Szabina. Just because some don't like me, doesn't mean there are not any that do! Really I urge all you who I have seen and not to really think if you do right a review. There could be many things such as chemistry, bad timing, etc that could affect a session to go either way. There is also a huge difference between being truthful and cruel!Euro_SZabina said:
And also I have been victim of trashing, but I didn't let that get me down. There are some GREAT perberts I have seen and I thank the ones who believe me and help me along the way.
I might not be everyone's cup to tea, just like flavors of ice cream there are different tastes for different people. Again what I offer makes me unique and me
quandary from new guy
when an SP says "r u 1 of those guys that makes reviews.?..i don't want a review...ever...i'm not suppose to be doing this...my boyfriend will find out"
yet she advertises on CL w/ photos.
i feel obliged to respect her wishes but torn because...dare i say more
i became a registered user because the PERB is entertaining & well i'm a pooner

#1. its not, however:Euro_SZabina said:
#2. there are 'reviews' that are nothing but
blatant advertising and sound so fake that
its hard not to laugh at them.
#3. we are not allowed to post 'bad' reviews --
the sp's just invoke the no-review policy and the
review is gone.
#4. bad sps just change the name but the service stays the same.
There are lots of good ones out there, but they are hard to find. And
typically when you do find them, they don't last long:
but the bad ones just seems to be around forever!
Maybe I missed this whole discussions before but...
...why should someone be allowed to be on a "do not review" list?
I seem to recall there may have been a thread about this before, so just disregard if this has been discussed in great detail already.
As long as there is no identifying information about the SP's residence or personal life, why shouldn't they be reviewed just like the rest of us?
I remember the first review done of me. Another client pointed it out to me and I had no idea there was even a review board. I was shocked at first, but this is a review board and the members are free to review SPs. That's the whole point of this board, isn't it?
I always ask clients that they respect my privacy by not posting my phone number or pictures. I don't do this full time, don't have a website and I prefer to keep my info private. They are free to review whatever else they like about our time together.
I have never had a bad review, but even if I did, I would look at it as an opportunity to improve or communicate better with potential clients about their expectations and wishes.
So most esteemed moderators, could the "Do not review list" concept be re-examined? I don't think it's either fair or fits in with the purpose of a review board.
